Well, I finally decided to do it. I couldn't take the two extreme textures anymore. I used African Pride (for the first time) relaxer and seperated my hair in 4 parts. I let the relaxer stay on my hair for about 8 minutes and combed through each section lightly with a wide toothed comb. I am soooo happy with the results. My new growth came out very wave. I've been growing my natural hair out since 1/04. I can finally put my hair in different styles again. Now I just wish all my hair was as wave as my new growth.
