FrizzMizz, your hair is BEAUTIFUL!! When did you stop relaxing, and how long did you transition. I agree that you are a natural inspiration.

I stopped relaxing in May-June of 2002. I didn't have a problem with relaxers. I'd rollerset and wrap my hair at night and I'd only relax every 3 months. This was way before I met hairboard and learned that you could do more with relax hair than rollerset it. I always wondered what my relaxed hair would look like if I knew what I know now.
Anyway to make a long story short, I was tired of rollersets and curious to see what would happen if I skipped a touch-up. I transitioned by rollersetting and flat-ironing for a year which wreak havoc on my hair. When I did the big chop, my natural hair was dry and straight, so I had to cut about 2 inches more on top of the 3 inches of relaxed ends. I wish I had taken more pictures but I have the relaxed hair to show. Yup, I kept it. /images/graemlins/nuts.gif /images/graemlins/ill.gif
Sorry for the rant.
