Seems like the back left corner of my hair always either gets wet in the shower or gets sweated out, its annoying either way. Hair appointment on Friday, I'm ready.
I'm having exactly the same thought. I've done all I can to hear protect. I think I'm ready.Thinking about straightening my hair today...I could use a good trim
Good luck. Are you going to post pics?I'm having exactly the same thought. I've done all I can to hear protect. I think I'm ready.

Thank you. It went well. I got a trim too because my wool coat chewed up my hemline.
I wash my hair every week but lately my scalp has been itching more than usual. After I rinsed out the conditioner (I don't apply conditioner on my scalp), I saw my scalp looking whitish. I scratch a small area and noticed white gunk underneath my finger nail.
Ended up ordering the Philip Kingsley scalp exfoliation mask and heritage psoriasis shampoo.
Did you post pics and I missed them? You straightened and trimmed yesterday, right?I really hate first day hair. But it's so soft and silky.
Do you just prefer relaxed or are you having issues with your natural hair?I've been natural for 2 or 3 years. I can't remember exactly when I started transitioning.
I think I'll be back to relaxed by the summer.
I tried.
My hair was easier to deal with when I relaxed. It also grew faster. My natural hair has been more work with less results. Plus it's short and I look horrible with short hair. I miss having length. I miss not having to work so hard to get my hair to look half way decent. My hair never looks neat. I also feel that I was more attractive as a relaxed head.Do you just prefer relaxed or are you having issues with your natural hair?
Well at least you tried. I've been natural for almost three years. Shrinkage is a beast. I wasn't used to short hair either, but I finally don't look bald headed anymore. Hair definitely shouldn't be stressful so do what's best for you. Just remember that even if you perm it you hair still be the same length.My hair was easier to deal with when I relaxed.

I have my hair straight right now using the Dark and Lovely anti reversion cream. My hair has length and, overall, I just look well put together with it striaghter. I know it sounds horrible, but I just don't look very nice with my natural hair while it is short.Well at least you tried. I've been natural for almost three years. Shrinkage is a beast.

Also have you looked into non perm straightening like design essentials, aveda, tms etc?
Thanks @shawnyblazes@ DeRay @ Poohbear
Your hair accessories are important too. You don't always have to have your hair going straight all back. YoI can have a side part, or middle and swoop your hair to the sides, then go back. Use smooth hair pins, chopsticks, hair ties, spin pins, etc...Besides moving it around... How do you prevent breakage from frequent ponytails/buns??
