What the H?

Ok, I need to rant. I have no clue what the h my hair is doing lately! It's just not curling at all! I know it's not dry, I know it's not overconditioned, but the heiffa is just lying there! Not feeling it, not feeling it at all. I think my hair just doesn't like gel or something. When I was using the Tresemme curl care line...voila! But I stopped using it because some products had petroleum in it...should I go back? Or suffer through what is hopefull a short lived hair aberration?!!!
