Hi there, I couldn't find anything using the search function, so hopefully this is not too repetetive. I decided two months ago,after massive breakage, to stop getting relaxers at the Salon I had been going to. To make a long story short, I purchased PCJ lye relaxer and applied it to my own hair, for somereason it loosened the curl, but did not straighten the hair, I later realized the relaxer was packaged in 1999, so I am not sure if that was the reason it did not take as well. Anyway, I noticed that the "newly relaxed" hair actually looks more wavy, like texturized or a wave perm. So it got me thinking, would it be possible to transition toatally into this kind of look. My thinking is that as I got new growth, I could blow it out or flat iron it if I wanted a straighter look. I am getting about 1 inch or more per month, so I am thinking it should not be too difficult, the only thing is I don;t know if this kind of transition can be done with minimal damage. I have also thought about transitioning to natural, but since I had massive breakage from the relaxer at the salon, I know, I would have to have a shaved head for a while, to even everything out, even with my rapid growth, and I am not ready for that. Anye experiences, or comments are appreciated. Thanks.
