Alright ladies. I haven't had a relaxer since mid January. My plan was to transition for 2 years, however, my new growth is 5 inches and is mega thick. I know that I can't make it 2 years or another month for that matter. I exercise 5 days a week, so I have to wash my hair 2-3 times a week in order to put my hair in a ponytail. It takes forever to detangle so often in a week and all the manipulation is causing tension on my hair so breakage is a factor. I have to maintain my 3 daughters hair (all are natural), so it's really difficult for me to spend so much time on my hair. I am so seriously considering relaxing or texlaxing my hair. I really want to have it natural, but at the same time I am growing frustrated. I've tried hiding my hair, however, braids seem to break my hair off badly. I've had 2 sew-ins, but only kept each for a couple of weeks, because I can't stand not being able to feel my scalp. Twist-outs and braid-outs look horrible on my hair these days. I am not doing a BC because I don't feel comfortable with my hair short. Is it possible to texlax the new growth? If so, does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Please help ladies.
