Hi I am a biracial 25-year-old 3c from Minneapolis. I recently "texturized" my hair (if you can call it that) after growing it natural for 2 years. It is about neck length curly, collarbone length blow-dried.
I am thinking of going for a second pass at the texturizer, for many reasons. Reason 1: my blowouts are not pretty. I roller set/flat iron my hair and have had great results in the past with relaxed hair doing it this way. But now--my hair views it as a joke and I look like Dianna Ross of the Supremes.
2) I want length. Nuff said.
3) I want a change, and this texturizer looks pretty much like my natural hair.
The stylist used a motions relaxer and left it in for about 2 minutes. I wanted her to deliberately underprocess it, but I dont think she grasped the true thickness of my hair. What I want to know is am I safe asking for her to do another pass at it, with a different brand of relaxer? I am not feeling this motions relaxer--I have had plenty in the past to know when something is quality or not.
On the other hand, I want my relaxed coil to match my natural coil enough that I can get very infrequent touchups without worrying about breakage. I also want to go back and forth between curly and blow dried. No limp hair. I fear the limpness more than the frizz.
How straight should I go (if I should go straighter at all)? And which relaxer should I have her use?
