Im not sure what I should be calling my hair anymore as I have been having more problems than usual with breakage recently.I call myself naptural and If you saw me you would say I was to from the look and feel of my hair. The thing is I put on a "kiddie straightener" for less than the reccommended time because my previously healthy growing fro f**ked up a bit after I put in extensions for a month. My ends were extra frizzy and impossible to comb through so I turned to creamy crack
although all I wanted to do was relax the curl a bit like a texturiser.I know they say it doesnt matter whether you apply relaxer once or 50 times, that piece of hair will always be relaxed but after I straightened my hair it was still very curly in places, It had that horrible chemical feeling after so it must have worked a bit of magic on my hair
My point is usually when I have natural hair (I have only straightened with mild relaxer one before in my lifetime) when I get my act together and look after it it usually thrives and grows like a bush and the breakage stops within 2 weeks.
This time even though my hair is mega coily and afroed back its taken me much longer to get my hair happy and its still breaking more than Id like. Am I transitioning??, Theres no way Im cutting it off as its not an option but what exactly happens to the hair whilst its transitioning and why do people have to cut it??
Is it for purely cosmetic purposes??? Will my hair continue to fall off and is there anything I can do to help my hair if its in this process??
