sorry ladies but I'm perming this 2 years of natural hair!

[lipyt]

I came. I saw and I feel like I have conquered for my standards. I am tired of my natural hair! I'm just going to come right out and say it! here are the reasons why:

My hair is soo thick it's like I have 2 peoples hair on my head that's nice but not easy to manage in a rush
I can't do my hair in a rush before work in the morning
I want to be able to see the length of my hair! But I don't want to put heat on my hair...I'm tired spending a whole day braiding and putting beads its cute but way too time consuming.
I miss my hair blowing in the wind...so shoot me!!!

I'm going to walgreens now I'm buying 2 perms and I will post my pics later.

Whoa! Really??

Didn't expect that, but I know we've had that discussion before. Wow. Can't wait to see pics.

 

[turnergirl]

Do you....Heck I might be right behind you. Relaxed or Bald one or the other.

 

[berry87]

Wow!

You have beautiful hair. It will look great either way. Whatever floats your boat Good luck

Cant wait to see pics

No need to apologize--it's your hair! I felt guilty about perming my hair after being natural for most of college, well semi-natural (constant press). I just gave into peer pressure and I was tired of fighting the Florida humidity. Good news is--it's just protein growing out of your scalp. Have fun with it!

 

[WhipEffectz1]

Go for what you know.

 

[Nefertiti0906]

Don't feel guilty, it's just hair.

I hope you enjoy your new hairstyle

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

Good luck! And don't apologize it's your head we don't have to do it.

 

[SouthernTease]

But why are you apologizing??? It's your daggone hair. Do you sweetie. Best of luck!

Ditto on this!!! (but on the inside saying "Don't DO IT GIRL!!!) =0)

 

[honeybadgirl]

i know how you feel! i had guilt and a bit of shame i guess you could say for wanting to texlax. sorry but i'm being honest. i decided to cross over for the same reasons. i was tired of not being able to enjoy my hair, having to watch for the weather forecast to decide if i was going to wear it out, puffing right up after flat ironing, trying not to have the least bit of sweat come out of my pores and fear of it!
i did, was natural so now i just needed something to give me flexibility and versitility! to take that frizz away! i'm glad i did it! i'm so so happy now. i plan on getting a touch up like 4 times a year.
do you and be happy!!!

Welcome aboard my child. Relaxing does not mean that you do not embrace your natural hair!

(Even though I am entertaing the thought of becoming natural......nah)

This was my thing too. Natural for 4 yrs. I felt guilt and anxiety about relaxing, and debated back and forth for months. When I rinsed that relaxer out of my hair, I just sighed w/relief. No more tangles, no more shrinkage. Just comb down my wrap and go. I know so much about my natural hair and what it likes to do and not do, that it helps me care for my relaxed hair even better.

So, um, are the pics up yet??

 

[remnant]

nooooooooooooooooooo,
your beautiful natural hair will be missed but hey it's your hair

 

[ina]

Girl, do your thang!!! It's ok to change your hair. Do not apologize for doing so.
I can't wait to see the pics

Off topic: how do you like living in Atl?

Make sure you take pics...

I'm guessing that they stretch the hair, and her length can be better shown.

 

[Kookie]

Awwww.....shucks!

But at the same time...I'm in aggreance with everyone else:
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE UPDATED PICS!!!!

 

[prettykinks]

I can't wait either. I know they will be gorgeous.

 

[Sugar Brown]

Enjoy it. I checked out your album and it seems like your hair thrives relaxed or natural.

 

[tiffers]

No need to apologize. If it was causing that much stress and grief, it was definately time for a change. At least you can say you tried it, didn't like it, and kept it movin

Can't wait for those pics! Hurry up, girl!

 

[lipyt]

Ok yall I did it!! I crossed over! I will take the pics soon.. It was so weird combing the conditioner through my hair is the shower I had to keep looking in the mirror to make sure I wasn't bald becuase my hair seems so thin! I kept jabbing my scalp combing this thinner hair so aggressively. The comb just glides right on through! I just finished putting the rollers so after I dry it I will post the pics

I know exactly what you mean -- when I relaxed for the first time after years of natural hair, I thought I was going bald because the hair felt so thin. Definitely something to experience.

Congrats on your decision and doing what makes YOU happy.
