Hey all! I am really frustrated right now and need some help and guidance. I have been natural for 3 years now, and my hair is about BSL, and I am getting very very tired of doing my hair. I have very tangle prone type 4 hair that doesn't seem to cooperated no-matter what I do. I feel like the main issue with my hair is time. As an undergrad student with a job as well as running a ton of student organizations on my campus, I just don't have the time I would really need to take care my hair in order to make it healthy and not have my hair be a hassle. As a result I kind of just do whatever with my hair.
Because of this I am thinking of texlaxing/relaxing my hair so that wash days would not have to take so long and I could actually focus on my life without worrying about looking horrible because of my hair.
I would just like to hear any words of wisdom about this. I have considered just cutting my hair into a tapered cut, but that seems high maitenance as well seeing as I wouldn't be able to cut my hair myself and I go to an isolated predominantly white institution and have no car. So I don't even know how I'd pull that off.
TL;DR
Student with no time for long natural hair struggling with what to do with it, to relax, or not to relax? HELP!
