Re: Paging the Hennaphiliac Girls!!!
To be perfectly honest, I do think about it beause of my excessive shrinkage...and the longer it gets the more shrinkage!!!! It continues to get thicker as well. Can you imagine hair past brastrap that shrinks if left to itself to above the shoulders? But I do not WANT TO RELAX IT...if that makes sense....what was really tripping me out was that I had heard that if you henna you cannot relax your hair and I am thinking that if this is 100% natural stuff (the henna) what possible harm could it do....I had heard that it would cause my hair to melt down, go up in smoke ....all kinds of horrid things....turn green, catch fire etc....So I was thinking....I do not like the words...I can't...now that I am hearing positive comments that it doesn't have to destroy your hair if you henna and relax...then it became an OPTION... and I can make the choice to stay natural and not just because I have no choice. Probably the hair stylist in me that wants to challenge the barriers. Hope this makes sense. Right now I am concentrating on gaining length and it is damp or moisturized a lot and I want to gain another 6 inches of natural hair...I kind of have a feeling that relaxing or not is not such a big deal for me anymore. I also would like to prove that a person can grown curly shrinkage hair long and thick and healthy and be able to maximize the length with techniques instead of chemical or pressing. I have thought of pressing it as well but that was a passing mental fad...tried rollersetting...it was just too much work for 1 or 2 days...I have even gone through the "why not just chop it off and stop obsessing..." I dashed that one in a couple of days...(then) One night I dreamed I had curly hair to my waist...this was doing the relaxer temptations...just last week...and I think maybe it was an encouragement to just keep on doing what I am doing. Hope this clarifies it totally.
