So I just got back from D.C./NYC for vacation and I had a weave in since I was partying like it was 1999
for my Book Release. Anywho, 3 days before my vacay was over I decided to take my weave out and as I did I just wore my hair in a braidout until I got back home, which brings me to today I went to the store after much deliberation and I bought some ORS and was totally planning on texlaxing because I Loved my thickness but the knots and tangles were driving me loca! So, I said the perfect solution seemed to be to texlax to keep the thickness but get my hair to be more manageable. UNTIL I put some water and moisturizer on my hair before I went to the store and I was like 
at my waves so I went grovery shopping, my hair dried and I was like Oh Yeah i am gonna texlax...weird I know, lol. Anywho, I bought the relaxer and got nervous because HELLO this is not something I could undo. After 5 months of dealing with these two textures, was I sure that i wanted to end all that with one application???
erplexed So I stared at my hair for what seemed forever (it was only 5 minutes, LOL) Then I decided to whip out my (Herstyler)flat iron and do an experiment. I straightened one section and to my surprise it came out exactly how I wanted my hair to be, Full and smooth I was then giving the ORS the side eye like 
. So instead I washed, DCed, blowdried, and flat ironed and I was like YES WE CAN!!!!
I was so happy that I was able to achieve my desired look without the creamy crackI had limited myself by just assuming that because I wanted straight hair that I had to telax right now, which was not the case and I wanna thank all you ladies on here because back in the day i would have slapped that crack (no offense to the relaxed ladies) on so fast that i would not have even given it a second thought but now I know better what can work for my hair instead of just going towards the norm, because of the knowledge I have gained I have more options. Sooooo, I digress I know you are like Yeah Yeah chick where are the pics,
Here they are!

. At the end of my one hour commute into the city my hair had shrunk and expanded sideways 
. ONE HOUR 
. I pulled that mess into a bun, but not before two co-workers saw me.
