My hair has gone through so many different changes since I have been on this forum - no wonder I can't retain any length, lol! Started off with thin out horrible looking hair, cut if off, relaxed it..., went bald and was natural for a while. Did the BTK thing, it thinned my natural texture out so badly
I was like, might as well relax it again; Initially the BTK hair was the best thing that happened to me but overtime, I hated my hair so that I ended up relaxing. To add my to my sorrow, I went to the hair dresser for a virgin relaxer and even though I know what the guy was saying is crock, I still let him start the relaxer on my ends first (according to him, that was the most porous part of my hair! WRONG!!!!
. My ends were so horribly thin, the middle kind of OK, and the root see through. I was like, when was I going to win with this haircare stuff! After that episode, I started going to a dominican shop to get my hair relaxed but it wasn't any better because they smooth the hair too much which did not work for my fine hair. I realized that the only way to get what I want in my hair is to be come a do-it-yourself-kind-of-girl. I started doing that this Feb, I think.
I started relaxing my hair myself, doing cowashes - sometimes daily or 3X/week, henna, and oiling my scalp at night with amla or any other indian oils; I must say that for the first time since being 100% natural, I am beginning to get back the body and natural textured feel that I have always wanted. My hair is looking and feeling so much better now and I wanted to share that even though you are relaxed, your hair can still feel and look natural if you take matters into your own hands. I hate very straight hair and like it textured like this. I am pleased with my journey so far, in such a short time.
