miss cosmic, do not make me reach for my big stick
and use it on you
That's all. (This is my adopted small sis, folks, so she knows why I'm on her case...and if she doesn't, I'll explain it as I whoop her in person.)
NappyNelle I have one texture all through so I have no experience with dealing with many textures. I'm also not too worried about what people think so if doing a cornrow mohawk is what would make it work, I'd do it even if I were the only person doing it: Cornrow the sides going up (those should hold well for days) and wear a WNG up top where the hair is looser. Folks seem to ooh and aah at styles as soon as some celeb wears them, yet it's something that someone on a mission to solve a problem could've come up with if they would just learn to take care of #1 and worry about the haters later.
But
L.Brown1114, I have read so many threads you've started and you seem so unhappy with your hair, texlaxed or natural; it's always something. I don't think you'll ever be happy until you come to terms with the fact that your hair will never be like anyone else's and accept that it's made of a mixture of types and then focus on learning from others what to do when you're dealt those cards. TBH I don't think you're being entirely honest if you say that you don't really hate 4B hair but just hate where it is. In Feb last year, you clearly got so upset because you couldn't fathom having an "afro for life"--which is what you believed your hair was good for--per your mom's prediction.
my mother just told me that my hair looks JUST like my father's and how when it grew out it still stayed thick and afro like and you never get a chance to see the curls because of the thickness. im freakin out cuz i'm not lookin to have no afro for the rest of my life, this isnt the 70's. did anyone have a BC head like mine and can hopefully show me what it looks like now cuz i'm almost to the point of crying!

I'm not sure what your reason for not relaxing straight is, as that may solve your problem of different textures. If you just don't care for straight hair, have you considered a curly perm? Nothing you do short of chemically altering your hair or surgically getting implants will make it look differently from how it grows out of your head. I guess you could also straighten it till it doesn't revert.
The fact that you've yo-yo'd between being texlaxed and being natural clearly shows you're rushing into things w/o first finding out if they will work as you hoped. Texlaxing your hair will not necessarily change the size of the coils unless you get closer to fully straight...so you'll still have different "textures", small waves where coils were small, larger ones where they were large. You seemed thrilled with having relaxed edges and natural the rest in
this thread so I feel you would be happy with relaxed hair. You probably should just do your homework and make sure you know what you're getting into so you can stop the apparent indecisiveness if you really want long hair. Otherwise, short cuts can look nice on people too and you can get to change up whenever you feel like it w/o sacrificing a journey to achieve long hair.
Bottom line: there's a feeling of freedom that comes when you do what YOU WANT to do and quit worrying about what other people think. I suspect you feel like you'll be a sell out if you relax fully. I've had the impression that the world of natural hair has always been scary to you because it's one you don't know, which is understandable. And learning anything takes time and commitment so just do what you can afford to make time for now...and then worry about venturing into the unknown when you have the time and patience for it. You'll have a lot of support whatever you decide.
Don't worry about how many textures you have. Embrace it and learn how to work with it! There are sooooo many styling options on YT. Whatever style you choose, take it and make it yours!
