NEWLY RELAXED; FEELS WEIRD

[jetbeauty09]

Hi girls,

I was natural for 18 months total (off and on) and had gotten so used to playing in my natural hair that I couldn't even remember styles that I used to have when I had a relaxer previously! Crazy huh? Now I'm back and it feels so weird to have some the products that those with relaxers rave about. Did anyone else feel out of place and stick with having a relaxing?

Unless my texture changes, I will never become natural again. I loved that I was able to learn how to properly care for my hair but with all those tangles and knots, the creamy crack called me back. I'm loving it.

Hey girl I was in your same position back in Jan of this year. I was natural for about 1yr 9 months and decided to relax. It felt weird, but like in a good way. Kinda like home. Lol idk ever since I was 7 I was relax so I never really had to deal w/ my natural texture until I decided to transition. For me too the hours spent detangling, shinkage got to me. I'm sooooooo happy with the decision I made. It takes some getting use to, just like your natural hair took some getting use to, but I think after u rock it for a while, u will feel more like 2nd nature to you. Def use this as your resource. Its great and def has helped me keep all the head on my head, and then some. Lol sorry for rambling. But congrats on your decision and best of luck

You gotta do you. All that matters is that you are happy with your hair it looks great either way.

Now you just have to do the same type of journey for your relaxed hair !! : ]

Healthy hair is lovely hair. Good luck !

And as far as the whole texture change thing goes, if you ever want something milder than a relaxer you could texturize with a BKT or something

I relaxed in Jan. My hair is growing nicely. Jan and April are the only times I relaxed this year. I will do it again around the end of Summer.

This is me 100%! Since I never stay relaxed for long, I completely feel out of place with my hair since I relaxed. I have a lot of research to do because I want to wean myself off the flat iron.
