Relaxed ladies...

[spanishteardrops]

is your hair bone staight? I ask this because recently I was looking at an old photo from about 2 years ago and my hair was really nice and straight but really dry and unhealthy. So how do you get you hair that straight with out damaging it? TIA /images/graemlins/Rose.gif

I used to be a bone straight chick back in the day, but now I live to leave a little bit of wave.

I have been doing bone for years. Since LHCF, I have been easing up on my processing time. I want my up and coming wash and go's to look nice!

I voted "other"! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

My roots are wavy and the rest of my hair is bone straight.
That's because in the past, I always got bone straight relaxers. After I joined this forum, I started stretching my relaxer touch-ups and the relaxers started not to take in my hair anymore. So now I'm transitioning to natural! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Wavy curly

My hair is bone straight. I love it that way. Its soo thick and I don't like that thick look on me. I wrap it every night. It keeps it very straight.

My natural hair is thick, coarse, and wavy. When I self-relax, I *dumb it down* so that it is not so thick, not so coarse and leave a little wave still in my hair.

Bone-straight perms damaged my hair.

my hair all around is usually wavy when i first get a perm...but after about a month or so...my hair in the front is straight, while my newgrowth and the back of my hair are still wavy.

My hair is relaxed straight and is quite healthy. Perhaps some hair can take more processing than others.

It's straight until I wash it, then it's wavy and curly.

i like it to have it wavy. having it bone straight makes my hair hard to syle and it looks flat

 

[Isis]

I selected wavy since I leave the relaxer in for such a short time (10 min.), on purpose, so I can get a texturized effect. I did this by accident much earlier in my journey and I feel I have more body and stronger hair this way.

My roots right now are kinky as I'm stretching this relaxer and the texture line of the kinky/wavy isn't so stressful as it would be if it was kinky/straight.

 

[WaterChylde]

I voted a little wavy because since I've been self relaxing I can't get it really straight and I'm actually liking it better.

 

[Supergirl]

I'm relaxed pretty straight. I believe the lye relaxer helps it not to be so dry, but even when I had a no-lye I was still doin' alright. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[candibaby]

I'm relaxed straight, but not bone straight. There's usually still a wave at the top after I get a relaxer. It gets wavy when wet, so thats why I dont think it's bone straight. I have a lye relaxer that conditions my hair as well.. thats why I think it's not dry.. because I noticed the dryness w/ Design Essentials.. but not with my current relaxer (Nu Expressions).

 

[Nyambura]

I checked other. My hair was wavy-relaxed until I went to a dishonest hairdresser who lied and swore she was using lye relaxer in my hair but it turned out to really be no-lye. As a result, my hair is wavy/wannabe-coily/wavy /images/graemlins/spinning.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

To achieve a straight texture throughout, I wetset with curlers under a hood dryer and then wrap. That's the safest way I've been able to straighten without resorted to heat implements. HTH

My hair is still a whole lot wavy. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
