Why do I keep torturing myself by reading that thread?! Like girl....just hush. Let me take my butt to sleep before I run through there and post a whole bunch of Tracee Ellis Ross pictures.
^^^ Oh, no! If you're egging her on, things must be really baaaaad.
what bits are you taking? That little princess in your avi is just a cupcake!these vitamins for hair, skin, & nails must work because every 2 weeks when I get my nails & toes done, my toe nails are longer and must be cut lol. If only my hair was doing the same lol.

I really am strongly considering getting a relaxer after taking out these Senegalese twists. Frankly I am to the point where I hate natural hair!!! It's just not for me! I see all these gorgeous twist outs, braid outs, fros, etc and when I try them it ends up being nothing but fails and raggedy ends. At least when I was relaxed hair styles were consistent and I had consistent length retention. I'm to the point where I don't even feel like being bothered with my hair anymore, My natural hair journey is no where near as fun as my relaxed hair journey was.
((HUGS)). Do what makes you happy. I have had fun with both relaxed, texlaxed and now natural. I constantly go back and forth. Hair should be enjoyed and not a chore. If relaxed hair will make you happy, then I say go for it.
If you dont mind me asking, what is it about your natural hair that you dont like?
mz.rae sorry you're having problems with your natural hair. If you do decide to relax just make sure your doing it as healthy as possible. Have you tried going to a salon that specializes in natural hair? I know that is what helped me a lot. When I was relaxed I never did my own hair so I went with philosophy that how would I ever be able to handle my natural hair when I never handled my relaxed hair. I feel that if I would have tried to do this with not assistance I would have been setting myself up for failure.
mz.rae have you thought trying one of those smoothing systems. There seems to be several to choose from. Why did you stop relaxing?

mz.rae I use Design Essentials Transitioning Mousse treatment and it has made the difference between me going back to the dark side. Protein helps with definition as well. Maybe a protein treatment will help your sets do what they need to.
I loved that thing when I first BC'd. Maybe I should revisit itSo why did I ever stop using neutrogena deep recovery mask??!! That little thing is amazing an my local acne has it for $5 bucks *everyday price* I will be stocking up!!
Me too. Problem is my birthday typically falls on the week of Black Friday. This year I told myself I would not act up on BF.... But ummmm depending on the sales I will be getting stuff lol.I really need to inventory all my refrigerated hair products and start gifting/selling to make some room for incoming BF/SBS/CM stuff. I don't want to be faced with my PJism though
