I wished that my relaxed hair was not bone straight - that it was curly or at least had some wave. That would make my transitioning easier and I would not have to do braidouts all the time.
keep a style longer...whether curly or straight. When my hair is curly, the curls may not stay; when my hair is straight, it sometimes bends at the shoulders.
hairlove, I wish my hair wasn't bone straight too! Did you have a corrective relaxer(wish i'd known better) or did your relaxers all take well? I wish my hair was thicker as well (I watched Family Matters yesterday I'd I never realized how thick Kelly and Elmira's hair was). I'm SO jealous.
I wish everytime I started to see progress, something wouldnt happen to mess it up. My most recent stylist has overprocessed my hair and its shedding and breaking a lot and Im afraid I may have to have a big trim to help with the shedding/breakage. Needless to say Im NOT a happy camper. Im doing everything I can think of to help it(treatments, not handling it too much) but only time will tell if its in vain!

Cheer - when I first started getting my hair relaxed, it wasn't bone straight. It always had some wave to it. Over the years, it started getting bone straight and of course, I didn't object b/c that just made it easier to do my hair (I didn't know bone straight was a bad thing and I never requested bone straight either....I just got what I got.) Anyhow, I think the change came when they put out sensitive scalp relaxers (Vitale) and I was able to "stand" getting a relaxer more than I used to be. I remember stylists always telling me that I had really strong waves and thus, I think they tried to keep the relaxer on me as long as I could stand it...meaning, applied section by section, then a smoothing, and rarely second smoothing before I'd get washed. I thought the time was short and never thought much about it. Then again, I think over the years, my hair got thinner and so it relaxed a little easier than before.
Corrective relaxer - once I had a section re-relaxed b/c it was underprocessed (or so I thought b/c it still had wave.) See, I didn't know enough about haircare. I hated any sort of wave in my hair and now I wish I had it.
