It's a bit hard to understand your question, but I'll just roll with it :-).

I recently went natural about 2 months ago and I love it! Keeping the curls defined is not easy for anyone because your hair can frizz up and dry easily if you don't know how to take care of it. All of this can be frustrating without the knowledge to take care of natural hair. Natural hair needs to be well moisturized. Curl activator is something you can try to bring out the natural curls, assuming you're already natural. Curl activator will also keep your hair well moisturized and nourished which will help it grow and not break off. Also, many people will put moisturizer in their hair and expect it to last all day only to find that it lasts a few short hours. You need to seal in your moisture with an oil like olive oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil and many other natural oils that you can easily find in the cooking isle of your local grocery store. Olive oil is also good for hot oil treatments, too. Also try natural butters like shea butter and mango butter for moisture. You have to experiment with different products/oils/butters in order to find something that your hair likes.

Look at some of the sites I've listed, and some of them have message boards.
