Nappishawti,

I just want to let you know I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, your words were so encouraging. This was so much BIGGER than hair the way you stepped up to shared your personal experience. We need this type of LOVE. Thank you for being there.

awww don't feel bad. i've been where u are. i just relaxed (texlax'd) my 4b hair after 24 yrs (entire life!) natural. i did it on a whim by myself & am actually glad i did. it's only been a couple of wks but im happy w my decision & wish i had the nerve 2 do it sooner. i feel like i am managing my hair much bettr now thats its mostly straight.

i do not have so much breakage & have even been wearing my own hair out after covering my napps 4 two years w/ wigs & braids. i just bun my hair everyday like in my avi & moisturize & seal everyday & KIM.

i havent even told anyone i relaxed my hair cuz im kinda embarrassed...embarrassed cuz im texlaxd & lovin it!

im also one of those ppl that used 2 secretly judge others who had relaxers so i kinda feel sum kinda way abt tellin my lil 'secret' (thank God 4 lhcf)

i said all that to say this: OP plz make whatever is the rite dec. 4 u! u may enjoy being relaxed better for now & later u may wanna transition again. u have endless options & dont be afraid or ashamed of whatever decision u make.

i am still coming 2 terms w/ my own decision & ur post really touched me cuz i can SOOO relate. good luck & plz keep us posted on what u decide!

I am glad for you! You will be fine, just follow all the advice from this board and your hair will be just fine!

ok - update guys: I FREAKIN DID IT! I'm back relaxed and frankly I FEEL RELIEVED. No regrets except I truly wished I never minichopped. But oh well back at square block one.
When I started I thought I would like throw up or something, but I found something interesting. I almost rinsed after like 5 minutes because I reached another crossroads like- I really liked what I was seeing! I totally thought of the texlax thing! I mean I lost some of the bulk, had hang and some curl! It was awesome!!!!!! Problem was I thought about it too long and by the time I decided to do it my right half was getting straight. So I lost my texlax opportunity. But that is a whole other option and a whole other thread! I'm sitting with neutralizer on - I'm not bone straight and some parts held on to some curl- I guess cause I smoothed and not combed. - but I am straight nonetheless. Like why I hardly had no curl natural?
I'll keep you guys posted and updated - and OF COURSE WITH PICTURES. lol
