I'm almost 17 weeks post from my last relaxer. I really, really, really tried hard to prove the healthy hair can be relaxed hair theory. It's just not working for me. I cannot become a hair wiz -ologist to grow my hair. I have all the newgrowth in the world and no length to show for it because of bad stylists and friends who are like " Your hair is so pretty. Let me do it for you because you don't do nothing to it."
I keep stretching and stretching but my hair isn't longer for it. I do length checks and I'm sure its the damage that's been done that keeps me from seeing results.
erplexed I don't give a dayuuum! NOobody's putting their hands in my hair anymore. If they want to do my hair they'd better look like Wanakee JR.
Because I let select people do my hair it is so many different lengths now. I've probably had three pairs of hands in my hair within this year and last year. I just wanted something different. It sucks living in small town. No one knows what they are doing. I had it straightened and the hair in the back where my hair is thickest was burned and started to shed. No one knows how to work with transitioning hair. No stores sell good wigs. But...
The longer I stretch and care for my hair the better the health. It doesn't shed for no reason anymore. It's just hard starting from scratch when I was doing so good. I promised myself I wouldn't cut it even. That I will give myself two more months. That will make this a 6 month stretch. I will see how my hair will begin to heal itself under my care. This is my resolution to stay clear of stylists and friends who do hair.
