Aw! You are beautiful! I really like your hair the last couple of photos! Personally I try not to do anything to my hair as far as chemicals go, when I was younger people told us to chemically straighten it and we did for many years...but it never looked as healthy and nice as it does now that I leave it alone. As an adult I've always wondered about bleaching it blonde because I think my skin tone would permit it, but I'm too scared to do it and ruin a good thing I have going on now. I do think that natural looking hair looks best of course. However, I think that going blonde in a classy way can look very posh and natural on some people with naturally very dark hair.
Now, on to your question: (I went to skin school to be a dermatologist, so I know a few things about hair and skin) Although as stated above, it is correct that chemicals may damage the follicle, it can't in a way to change they way in which your hair grows(curly wavey or straight) but it can damage the follicle so that the follicle dies and thus the hair will not grow...but this would have to be a pretty exceptional shock to the follicle. The only way that your hair can change it's shape and texture(aside from chemicals I mean) is if your DNA changes in some miracle, or if your hormones have influence(being pregnant, going through puberty/menopause, or something like steroid use!). However, it's obvious that the chemicals can screw up the hair you have on your head right now and cause the hair to be more susceptible to breakage, making it seem as if the hair isn't growing very fast. You probably already know this but, nothing you do can change the rate at which your hair grows. :)
