Need some questions answered about a relaxer

[seraphinelle]

Ok, I'm harping on this, I know. But I just don't know what I'm going to do for the next 3 months.

I'm not going to use any heat, because I don't want to facilitate breakage, because my hair is technically severely underprocessed.

I'm hoping as time goes on, that the relaxer starts to revert, that's what I'm hoping, but that's just wishful thinking.

So i have some questions

1) it's very unlikely for hair to go nappy to as straight as mine, right?

2) am I going to experience alot of shedding and breakage because i'm underprocessed

3) What should I be focusing on as far as car. I can't seem to find my balance between protein and moisture.

Side note
I've never cried over my hair before, but I'm just so upset about it. My aunt is pretty much blaming me and this board for my mishap. She's saying that it's because I used a hot comb on my hair. Lets just be real here, I've straightened my natural hair all of twice since july. And my hair was always in kinky twists.

I just don't know what I should do to upkeep this, because, it's straight, and I should realistically treat it as if it was relaxed.

Do you think I could do daily cowashes, without damaging my hair.

It looks world's better when it's wet.

I'm not sure of the answers to all of your questions, but I do not think that you will experience any shedding or breakage because your hair is underprocessed. Texlaxing is like purposely underprocessing your hair. Just make sure that you are detangling your hair well, and since you were natural before, I think you probably have that under control. I always detangle underneath the showerhead with my Denman with loads of conditioner and it works like a charm. No extra tangling or breakage involved.

I'm so sorry that you are upset about your hair. I just wanted to address your first question though. Some hair is just NOT resistant to relaxers, at all. And I think it has absolutely nothing to do with texture whether you perceive it as nappy or coarse. My hair is extremely tightly coiled, but it is not resistant to relaxers, and both times I have gone from natural to relaxed, the hair was relaxed bone straight. And both times, the stylist told me beforehand that my hair would not get straight, but it did.

I tried doing the twists, but a twist doesn't hold in my hair.

I've tied it down for the night, I think I'm going to stick with CWC in the mornings and scrunching gels.

I'll update y'all on how that goes, lol

You can also put perm rods on the ends of the twists if they won't hold by themselves.
