ScorpioLove, You do not have bad hair. God does not intend us to feel that way about our hair. Our hair was meant to be seen in it's full glory. whether it is long or short. What ever you decide it will be okay. If you decide to relax then cool and if it doesn't work out you can always transition again or do the BC or like me be a rebel and shave it off. and start over
One of the issues we face are the styling options when transitioning and Chopping and the dryness. I won't lie to you that getting to know and understand your hair is not a one month process for many women it can take from one year to three years. Many of us have never seen our natural hair since we were young and others of us had been living in hair extensions and not really caring for our own hair. I promise you that when you are ready to make a commitment to your hair and to get to understand and cherish her, she will blossom on you. There are no short cuts though. And understand that for women who have transitioned many times I have learned that relaxers are not short cuts either, my best friend who has apl relaxed hair that is thick is always complaining about having to go to the hair salon to get protein treatments weekly and her fear about her damaged ends and over processing and under processing.
If your hair did well with relaxers then by all means go back to it, but if your hair didn't do well with relaxers and you had thinning and breakage issues, you may end up repeating the same cycle that I did for years, with transitioning, big chopping, natural and braid extensions and back to relaxers. To me a very unhealthy process.
But let me ask what is your current regiment?
Good luck with your decision.
Best,

......Words cannot explain how good I feel. I'M AU'NATURALE NOW! I had ALOT of relaxed ends left, so BC'in was a bit of a #Struggle but I'm happy I did it. I think I'm 4a/b now that my ends are gone and I LOVE IT! Ladies if you're thinking of BC'in go ahead and chop. I did and its probably one the best decisions I've made in a really......REALLY long time.

Thank you for your kind words and I understand what youre saying
I always use my phone so I never see any mentions.
right now I washing every 2/3 weeks because I cannot bear to deal with my hair any more than that right now. CON detangling shampoo to wash, CHI Keratin as protein and biosilk moisturizing condish as a DC. I use a leave in every day and generally I'm under a wig. That is the only reason i have not yet buzzed my hair bald. I like straight hair and my problem was breakage and thinness with my relaxed hair.
my natural hair is very fine so it just breaks and hates being on my head
My relaxed hair grew to about bsl relaxed and I don't want it shorter than that. I haven't done anything to my hair yet except stay in my wig. I hate weave so much. I want to look and feel pretty everyday, I just want long flowing thick hair

I started. ..
Been a little over three months since my last touch up .
i dont feel extremely dedicated to this transition but i do want to do it.
Ask why I'm over here giddy. GIRL WE'LL BE BIG CHOP TWINS .
How far along are you? Are you doing it yourself?
MANNNNN I'm so excited for you. Big chopping is so liberating. I thought people exaggerating when they said that but . Its the gods honest truth.
