Ok I went natural last May and had a little less than an inch of hair after bc'ing. It grew about 6 inches all over except for the front which was around 4 1/2. Well around this January I got my hair pressed a few times. Around the second time I pressed my hair I started to notice little knots on my ends. I then decided to relax my hair shortly after that and now my hair is falling out. Im really thinking about cutting my hair off and starting all over again. I just want to know your thoughts on the knots in my hair. Do you think that the knots came from getting my hair pressed( a painful process where the stylist sits me under a hooded drier then rips through my dry hair and does no detangling except for pulling the pressing comb through it) or because natural hair just does that? I've heard a few naturals complain about having little knots on individual strands before but I had never noticed it until then.
I dont like this fragile hair sitting on top of my head. Every day I am tempted to just cut it all off. I have split end halfway up the shaft on all the hair that feel out. Although I am afraid of looking like a boy once again, I dont know if I can take it any more.
And one other question. Do you think that if I cut it now that around 8 months I'll get those knots again. Im thinking about just transitioning until my hair gets a decent length for me to handle, but this relaxed hair is out of control.
