Here is something I have seen posted on other forums where long termers post. Do you think that you are "wasting" product on your relaxer hair. I love all of my hair and I don't feel that I'm wasting product. I love healthy hair and I'm in it for the long hual. Any one have any comments on this?

Nope. I don't feel that way.

No, I don't feel like I'm wasting products on the relaxed part of my hair. While it's still on my head I still want it to look good, have enough moisture, etc.
 
I'm glad it's not just me. I feel the same way Chromia, its on my head and it needs to look good. I think the only time you are wasting product is if you start Dc'ing the shed hairs in your shower comb.

I just saw that statement posted so many times. I never said anything but I really wanted to.

I agree with you
I don't think I'm wasting product bc my relaxed hair will be around for a long time too

I'm agreement with a lot of you that no I don't feel like I'm wasting product. You have to keep the relaxed ends healthy if you want your new growth to be healthy too. By neglecting the relaxed hair, you could be setting up your new growth for breakage, split ends, ect. Now if I was only interested in BC-ing, I might feel differently. But since I'm in it for a while, I want all my hair taken care of including the relaxed ends.
 
Same as other ladies said. I don't feel like I am wasting products because I still have at least 8.5 more months of transitioning so I need all my hair (relaxed and natural) to be healthy :yep:

She is SO adorable and this helps so much! Thanks Ekaette! I was detangling in huge sections with that denman so no wonder it seemed wrong. I will be much more patient from now on.
 
I'm really ready to take some scissors to it right now. Seriously.

I'm not sure how I feel about the different textures on my head. 4 b in the back, 4a (s shaped curls) in the crown. Weird.

I love finding curly qs and coils and playing with them.
 
I cut my hair to SL so I dont have so much frustration looking at the amount of relaxed ends i have left..My hair is between SL and APL.
 
I bunned all last week and it was such a relief getting up and going...BUT im going to the maxwell concert tomorrow so im thinking curls are on the menu...ya kno, in case he sweeps me off my feet after the show :curtain:
 
It’s my 1 year anniversary of transitioning. I have BC 3 times in my lifetime because that is how I was told to go natural cut off the relaxer. I always cave in because I just did not have the patience and really did not have these nice hairstyle to do while transition with shorter hair. Well when I came here last year and read Southern tease thread (BC or transition) I was surprise to read and learn you can transition with pony, buns, etc to natural. I wore a ponytail most of my military career so I knew that was going to be easy so I decide I’m going to do this. I have probably been to just about every transitioner’s or natural’s fortki , blog or album that could get into sulking up good information. I could only transition because of LHCF, and all the wonderful information that is share throughout this forum. For those who are new or maybe thinking about it going natural please read, and ask questions you’ll get it here. Thank you all!
I have 2 inches of relaxer in the front and 1” sparingly in the back. I think the front is looser curl than I remember but I’m going to continue to nip and transition and reevaluate in Jan 10.
Here is a link to my album don't know how this actually work but you can see update in album posted today.
