I've been 100% natural for a year and a half, I am around 2" from BSL and have noticed that my hair has grown a lot more than it did when I was relaxed (maybe that was done to not taking care of my hair the way I do now....).
I've read alot of posts where it is thought that relaxed hair is easier to grow long than natural.
But my hair is becoming really thick, and combing it is such a hard task sometimes.....so I'm thinking about texlaxing or relaxing- There would be less tiny knots, therefore less potential for breakage, and the straight hair would retain more moisture on the strands.
But, is relaxed hair REALLY easier to handle, care for and gain length, than natural?
