henna take the wave out that I have?

: I also have fine, naturally curly hair. Even though I blow dry it

does
: indeed have a relaxing effect on it. I also noticed some limpness,
: depending on what products (shampoo, conditioner) I used.

: It seems that I don't need the smoothing products I used to use,
or
: conditioners that I relied on to smooth my hair down. They are
: overkill now.

: I've had great luck with Avalon Organics Ylang Ylang shampoo and
