Don't get offended:
All these years I've been trying to grow long, healthy hair (and have achieved it) but everyone still has longer hair than me because they're wearing fake hair. Jeez I just wanted to be different but I look like a square. I can't win.
About to cut my hair some more, feeling blue, hating so much, can't stand guys right now. Need to get away.

Don't feel bad. At the end of the day you still have longer hair than them. And healthier hair too.

Bunning it for most of the summer.
Found a new Dominican salon, and will be going there regularly for wash and sets.
I know I keep going back and forth b/t doing my own hair and going to the salon, but the reality is that my hair was longer and thicker when I was going. I gave this journey a little over a year, and while I came a long way from where I started, I am not nearly where I could be.

I'm 8 months post relaxer for the first time in a long time. I've transitioned to natural before, but I wasn't keeping track of the months. I'm really excited about how everything is going and can't wait to be completely natural.

I'm 16 weeks post. My new growth could have saved my life yesterday. My bathroom door has come off it's hinges and I propped it up in the doorway temporarily to use the bathroom. As I was washing my hands that heavy oak door fell on back of my head!!
I was a, little shaken but I swear my ng absorbed some of the force! I had my hair tucked under and tied in scarf all day. Thank God for my afro texture!

I went and got my hair consultation on Saturday. And the stylist said that will need a virgin relaxer since I have a years worth of new growth. And that my texlaxed hair is in good condition and do not need to be cut off. I just need to have the ends trimmed, which I figured anway.
I plan on going on August 3rd to get everything done. I'm excited to have my hair relaxed again. I've tried natural on three occasions, I just prefer my hair straight. That might change when I get older, but right now I'll just wear it straight.

I've been transitioning for almost 3 years now and I am truly ready to cut the relaxed ends off. But now I'm struggling between if I want to straighten it one last time to see how long its gotten (haven't straightened it for 4 months) or if I just want to start cutting like tomorrow. I think I finally reached BSL but I'm not sure and the only way to find out it is to put in a whole LOTTA work to straighten it. I also kinda sorta wanna enjoy the length for a week or so too. I'm so confused!
Oh and I just realized if I do straighten it, I may incur some heat damage (which is scaring me). I also know that whenever I straighten, it takes at least 4 or 5 washes for my hair to bounce back and I regain my standard curl pattern. I don't wanna straighten now and have to wait 2 more months to chop because I can't tell the difference between the relaxed hair and the still heat straightened natural hair that has yet to bounce back.

This. I've been here. I went ahead & chopped since I get heat damage easily. Then kicked myself for not flaunting the length for at least a hot second... Ended up with heat damage a month later anyhow. Smh

Thinking about the way I neglected my hair before my hhj. Must have been some unicorn biz goin on... Apl with scorching heat almost daily, no heat protectant, no moisture, wack products, chapped scalp, no curl pattern, a little shedding but no breakage... Makes me wonder how much better off I could've been by just dcing regularly, nourishing my scalp and reducing the heat.
