Chanel, damn.
erplexed All I can say is to take it one day at a time.
I am 100% sure that I would not be natural and not have the success that I have without LHCF. So, maybe things will change. As I said in the video, I didn't have this texture as a natural child, and nobody in my family has this texture. My whole goal was to get a fresh press every two weeks. I've only had one press. Whatever the case, think it through!!! And I swear, while I was transitioning, had I not cut as I braided/weaved/wigged, I wouldn't have made it either. But, I'm not part of a natural cult!!!!!!!
So don't worry, think it through, and if you decide that you don't want to go natural, you can always relax again!! If I made the decision to relax again, I want to only use Phyto relaxers, and I would do weekly rollersets. Ok, that's my schpeel.
FyneNJChic-Congrats and good luck!!!
Naturallong81-LOL...That stuff is a trip. Now, my trick is to apply and saturate my dripping wet hair with it, then rinse it out without really tampering with it.Well, I try to "stretch" my hair by acting as if I am putting it in a ponytail. Then I shake my head like a wet dog. This way, my hair isn't weighed down with it. I do it in the shower. I also do this with curly pudding. Once it runs out, I won't buy anymore. I feel like Fantasia IC does the same thing!!!
FilthyFresh-DO YOU! My new growth while transitioning was NOTHING AT ALL like my real texture. It was scab hair. It was so dry, couldn't comb through it, scraggly, omg it was awful. But, after I grew my hair out a bit, it began to soften up. So tell her to sit the hell down. I hate when people act like that toward natural hair, like having unprocessed hair is a terrible or hideous thing!
