flat ironing= no curl?

hi. i have a question i hope someone can help with.1 1/2 years ago i had a relaxer(2 of them, 3 months apart actually). i have had all the relaxed part cut out since then. but i still have no curl . i used to be a 3a, with some 3b. now im lucky to be a 2a. ive been blaming it on hormones but could flat ironing be a cause?. i flat iron almost daily, high heat, because it wont curl. i just got a cut for curly hair to try to pop some curls in, but nothing.now i cant flat iron because the cut looks horrible straight.help.!!!
i was thinking perimenipause but the back of my hair on the underneath layers seem to be curly. so im thinking all the flatironing has messed it up. any thoughts. please.

I am 8 mos in my transition----so its grown out a lot. Since the ends are still relaxed I can't air dry and let it out. Its 2 completely different textures. I pull my hair back during the week with lots and lots of conditioner and blow dry and flat iron on the weekend ( if I have a date) . So far I have 3C curls--very thick--that don't lay down at all at the crown--but OK everywhere else. Do I need to stop straightening all together. My hair seems healthy now without the relaxer--its just the curl pattern is mixed.
thanks again
