thank you!!!
i was begining to think this was another hate on people with relaxed hair threads based after reading some of these comments, like "Natural hair has way more shine body bounce bling thickness swang wounderfulness than relaxed hair when straightened". are u serious? it entirely depends on the individual. Like look at sweet cashews hair and sylver2's hair for example. Some naturals would kill for their hair to look half as thick as theirs when straightened.
100% agree with you.
my hair is relaxed and it's thick/full with lots of body. it's an inaccurate assumption to say relaxed heads hair looks thinner and doesn't "hang" heavy or whatever nonsense theories.
it all depends on your hair type. I have thick full hair. not every natural has thick hair either to think that would be crazy with all the different types of textures people have in the world. there are naturals whose hair is fine also and when straightened is flat and limp same for some relaxed but it's not because a person is relaxed that their hair is "limp" depends on the strands. some hair also lacks body again nothing to do with a person being relaxed.
it takes too much energy to analyze people's hair. a nice head of hair is a nice head of hair, that's just me.
thank you!!!

amen! im really getting tired of these natural v relaxed post with the responses which oh so subtly want to try and point out that relaxed hair will never look as good as natural hair be it straighten or pressed
thank you!!!

This board does not represent the average head of hair. In the real world, most heads of hair aren't as healthy as ours.

Exactly. That goes for natural and relaxed. I see tore up natural hair all the time irl just as often as I see messed up relaxed hair.

EXCELLENT point!!How is that possible when 80% of bw are relaxed? I don't doubt that you've seen a few messed up natural heads, but the same amount?
^^^ OT Shan, your hair is Soooo pretty!

Yeah... I don't see very many people with your thickness & body & shine & swang whether they are relaxed, natural, healthy, super-healthy, unhealthy, on hair boards, no-boards, period.
There is no magic bullet to get hair like Oprah's, Mwedzi's, Taz's, Shima's etc unless you were born that way. Just try to have the best hair that you can have.
your hair does not look relaxed at all to me, but hey if sooo many other people think it does i guess it mayThanks Jazala!
This is an interesting question, check out my most recent press and flat iron, would you be able to tell, (just seeing me with my straightened hair) weather I was natural or relaxed?:scratchch
