Why has my curl pattern changed

It has become quite obvious to me that my curl pattern has changed....why did that have to happen.... I did want my curls to relax a little bit...but i dont know if i am liking this...when i would twist my hair, i really loved the way my twist out looked the way my curls stood up...now they really dont do what I want it to do...I find myself fighting with my hair more everyday and my hair doesnt look the same anymore...:-( 

However i am able to put my hair up in a puff, which is interesting...it is actually cute...i will take a picture soon and post....
