I've decided to give up

[DDTexlaxed]

I will no longer do my own corrective relaxers. I found a stylist who can do my hair without breaking my wallet. I will be getting my hair done in the beginning of April. I am also restarting my HYHC. I got afraid for my edges, but I found a new PS that I can wear that leaves my ends alone. I have made progress despite my lack of technique to self relax. I figure it will be easier to touch up once a pro does it. I also think I will be able to do some long stretches once it gets strait...I hope.

Don't feel bad. I go to a salon for my relaxers too. I just feel like sometimes someone else can handle my hair better than me because they can see everything where I would have to feel around and use mirros. I am glad you found someone that you can afford to pay and maybe you can set up a routine.

Good luck!

yeah, this time the pro is a man. I've seen him work and he is very professional. He is also a caucasian guy and is verry knowledgeable about black hair. I'm confident he'll be able to handle my hair and he is not scissor happy. I'll be relaxing at the end of march to be ready for the spring time.

Congrats on your find. I can do most things myself but relaxing..no way I'm no good at that; broken, horrid hair from my own attempts.
