As a natural with 4B/4C hair, I have a love-hate relationship with my mane. Since shrinkage plays absolutely no games, I've never opted for a wash-n-go look out of fear of sporting short, lifeless hair. Instead, I've grown quite fond of flexi-rod and perm rod sets styled on dried, then mousse-applied hair. However, I've always yearned to let my kinks and coils do their thing. And since reverse styling has grown in popularity, it's given me hope that I can rock the look with confidence.
