Ok ladies, I want you to think about something...I know this may not be true for all of us but I think it is true in my case...
The majority of my hair is 4B cnapp texture, however a small section at the nape of my head is definitely in the 3 category...probably 3B-C, and then there is a small section in the middle of my head that is a weird nappy-straight texture, I don't know how to categorize it
The funny thing is...those 2 sections of my hair were damaged by my relaxer, especially the middle section of my head....I had a bald spot & everything there! The nape section was always pretty bare and would not grow, even before relaxers but it has been growing like crazy since I've gone natural this time...
So could it be that the relaxer damage somehow changed my texture in these 2 areas?
Also what makes me think this is the fact that I have heard...I cannot confirm this..but I have heard that when chemo patients lose their hair, sometimes their hair grows back a completely different texture..for instance if they had curly hair, it may grow back straighter or vice versa
I can't compare relaxers to chemo but in a way I can b/c they are both very toxic and have the potential to do some serious damage to your scalp
What do you ladies think?
I know a lot of us have at least 2 different textures going on in our heads ---some of us always had it but for those that only found these changes after they went natural, do you think I am on to something here?
By the Way: I was natural most of my life, but hiding in extensions and then had locs for 3 years and my hair was always one texture (4B) before I got the relaxer......
