Some males that want to have the fro look use those "blow out" kits and they have chemicals in them as well as perms. But I recently did a Brazilian Keratin Treatment on my hair which lets your hair stay straight for 3-4 months then wears off then back to normal but I guess I did it wrong cause soon as I put some conditioner and got in the shower my shit blew right back up but it's way more easier to manage and I haven't seen a tangle or knot since which enables me to retain more length instead of cutting knots and tangles out all the time.
Well all I can say is not every black woman that is natural or wants to become natural wants dreads. Believe me it's not easy. I still haven't figured out what my natural hair likes and it's been almost a year.
Good luck on the self discovery............
