Happy New Year everyone! I hope the new year is finding you all in very good spirits. I'm doing this thread just to let you all know that I have finally relaxed my hair. I hadn't relaxed it since Thanksgiving of last yr. My initial plan was to try stretching for at least 14-16 wks between relaxers. However at the end of January of 2010 I found out I was pregnant but I miscarried in early March. At that time I felt like I had no control over anything except my hair. So every month I made the 'choice' to not relax. No I must admit I had fun trying different natural hairstyles and just really seeing how my hair reacted to certain products and treatments. However all good things come to an end. I made the decision to relax my hair as a way of saying that I really don't have any control over anything and I totally, and whole heartedly trust God to bring me through this rough time. So on December 28, 2010 I relaxed my hair. I did notice some growth but not that much since I've been dusting and trimming every so often. I just wanted to share my hair/life story and hopefully it helps someone else. If not, thanks for letting me share.

Until my next hair update :)


The first two pics are of my hair after I flat ring curled it w/ my flat iron and just let it flow. The final 3 pics are after I finger combed them out.

Sorry for your loss..it's amazing how even your hair can be somewhat therapeutic. Anyways, your hair is banging un-combed and uncombed. You need to do a tutorial on how you got such perfect spirals w/ a flat iron. You should join us in the MBL and WL 2011 challenges if you haven't already.
 
Sorry for your loss. Your hair is gorgeous. I hope the New Year will bring nothing but positive things for you.:yep:
 
Cosign to everything said.

Also, how long was your hair from your last relaxer before the 1 year stretch?
 
Ohhh your hair is beautiful! I too want to see a comparison between your last relaxer and now.

Sorry for your loss.
 
Awww bless you, big hug. I can only wish you a better 2011. Your hair is very beautiful and seems to thrive regardless of what you do to it. I'm an accidental stretcher. It definitely pays dividends in the long run.
 
Reading your post brought tears. Although, my issues were different, I totally understand your thought process with your hair. Many years have passed, but I am a witness to what happens when you let go of that final need to be in control of something and give all areas of your life to God. What I have lost God has given me back more than a quadruple portion. I know in my heart He is already and will continue to do the same for you. Thanks for sharing your journey; and, your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!
