Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm relaxed. I do it because it's easier to manage my hair that way. I like the natural texture of my hair, but I like my relaxed hair better.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm natural and my hair is finally cooperating consistently after almost 3 years.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I am natural and won't ever relax again.:yep:
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Natural and I have no intention on getting a relaxer EVER again!
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm a 4a texturized (not texlaxed) head as of 10/18. However, I've been toying with the idea of switching to texlaxed after looking at ScorpioCutie's (sp?) album. I need to read up on doing correctives so we'll see how that turns out.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I am texlaxed and I've almost reached my final hair goal. I have no idea what I'll do once I'm at MBL. I know I would never fully relax. I already stretch so I might transition...or maybe I'll try for waistlength...i'm not sure...actually i might cut my hair to the middle of my neck and start all over.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm transitioning, I have no intention nor do I have any desire to relax. My scalp is so much healthier..:yep: (that was the main point of me going natural anyways)
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Another au natural here!

After 30 years of relaxing (under age 10), I began my hair transition in September 2005. Cut off relaxed ends in July 2006. I have textbook 4a hair, fine, thin, dense. I have no plans to relax my hair again in this lifetime.

I just took down twist extensions Monday. Plan on my first natural blow-out for my birthday (Jan. 1). Then will go back into braids/twist extensions until spring....

There needs to be a category for those of us that don't know WHAT in the heck we are doing right now:lachen:.

I haven't relaxed since February. I didn't really plan on stretching this long. Don't know if I wanna be naural, or relaxed. I have seriously been thinking about texlaxing...but I am afraid that I might screw it up.:ohwell:

Currently transitioning to natural. Been in the game for 8 months now. I'll probably transition for 2 years or so and just cut off one inch of relaxed hair at a time.

Exact same situation :grin:
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Transitioning. Its been 8 months since my last relaxer.:yawn: I am curious to see what my real hair texture is like. I was never a regular relaxer girl and even with one my hair would not get bone straight. Im taking it day by day but you guys sure make it easier!!!
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm texlaxed trying to go straighter but ended up texturizing by accident during my last relaxer on 11/28/2007.
I might do a corrective:perplexed
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm natural; no plans to ever relax again.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm a natural 4A, my last relaxer was over 2 years ago. I don't plan on returning to relaxed hair.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Texturized and can't imagine being anything else.

ETA: I'm glad we have a new poll. The old thread was just that, old.

I'm natural :drunk:

I do not see myself relaxing my hair again ANY time soon. I'm happy with where I'm at for now. I've been natural for almost 5 years.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm transitioning and very close to being completely natural:yep:
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Just getting a consensus from now through the end of the year. Forgive me if I missed a category
:grin:


Edited Just Make Interesting: Also, if you feel like it, post in the thread what your hair type is and:

Relaxed ladies--do you ever see yourself going natural anytime soon?
Natural ladies--do you ever see yourself relaxing (again, for some) anytime soon?
Texturized ladies--will you fully relax anytime soon?
Transitioning ladies--how long do you plan on being natural or texturized?

I'm natural 4b and my answer is: No from now!
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I have been transitioning for almost a year and God willing I will transition for another year before chopping any remaining relaxed ends. I plan on being natural for life:grin:.

NOPE. With all of these weaves, wigs, braids, etc - why would I need to? I am learning to deal with my hair day by day, and with a little more patience, and knowledge about my hair texture, I really don't need it straight. I am sooooooooo tired of trying to conform to this european ideal of beauty...it's time they conform to African beauty.

Natural ladies--do you ever see yourself relaxing (again, for some) anytime soon?

Never. My hair has never been as healthy and as strong as it is in this natural state. I figured if I want a relax look I can weave it.

I relaxed two yrs ago after being natural for two years and all my hair fell out.:sad:

So now I am currently natural for two years and my goal is to have long strong hair and thank you ladies for all your informative threads to get there!
:grin:
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm transitioning, it will be a year in Dec. It wasn't so bad, when I was doing wash and go's. But now I'm dealing with my hair and all it's naturalness, lol. I'm learning how to really care for my hair and I need to put a relaxer so it can be beautiful.
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

Natural - for the second time.

I'm having a much better experience since I learned to stop fighting my hair. I don't see myself relaxing any time soon. I'm amazed at how good my hair is to me now that I know how to treat it right. :love2:
 
Re: Relaxed, Transitioning, Texlaxed, or Natural...What are you currently? Vote Plea

I'm texturized. I don't plan to relax fully or go natural anytime in the near future. After I've been at mid-back for a few years I might get bored and decide to try something new, but for now... :nono:

NO :nono::nono::nono: I got my hair blowdryed and curled three weeks ago and that alone made the hairs on the back of my head permanently straight. I can't even imagine doing that again.....so a relaxer is definetly OUT of the question. Plus, I am enjoying looking unique and standing out from what most people at my medical school feel all black girls look like......

ETA: Texlaxing is also out of the question because I not only want to avoid chemicals but also my hair straightend TOO easy and no matter how short a time I know it will come out more toward the straight side. And I don't want straight hair :ohwell:
