I'm 12 week and 3 days post relaxer.....

... and I really feel like chopping off the relaxed hair now. I think I need to get my hair braided in order to hold off some... the back is too short to hold braids though

be patient Val. It seems you aren't ready for that. Sleep it off, tomorrow is a new day.

How are you wearing it now?

Is there a nice style you can do now with the scarf tiedown method so that you can just leave your hair for a week?

I'm sorry for your frustration. Hang in there.

so are you planning to transition or are you just frustrated?

I've been wearing my hair pulled back for the last 2 weeks or so. The relaxed hair just looks so thin and the new growth is thick

so are you planning to transition or are you just frustrated?

I'm planning on transitioning but I hate dealing with 2 textures. Last time I transitioned I planned on going 1 yr but I BC'd after 7 months.

Put it away in braids/weave
Don't make any rash decisions, especially since you said your husband was having a hard time with it

I think I will have to do that Foxglove...... now to find a braiding place in New Orleans....

and Nola ladies have recommendations?

I read on one thread to use yogurt and citric acid to smooth out NG and 4 A/B hair.

I tried it on Tuesday and my NG was undercontrol again.

If braids aren't your thing, try wigs. I plan on rocking one next weekend.

Good luck!

I don't have a problem with braids.... the back is really short though.... not sure if the braider will be able to get it good..... and I also need to locate a braider out here.
