Thank you everyone for posting such great ideas. I am going to transition 'til Mar. 07 then I'm choppin off the rest of this relaxed hair. I think it is holding me back from combing correctly b/c last week I took down my braids and decided to put in cornrows and when I had got done washing and conditioning and got ready to comb through, even the relaxer hair was starting to act out. the demarcation between the two is rediculous and I can't wait to get rid of these anorexic ends..although it IS about 7 inces of it. I think my hair will thank me in the end. I will try combing whilst wet and w/ a goop of condtioner. One of you ladies suggested in your fotki regimen to not use a hooded dryer (with a shower cap on of course) because it still dries your hair out....do ya'll find that to be true or inconclusive?????
