I think I was about 7. I had the thickest hair of my siblings and many others. Stylists would always sit there and say the "if I had a daughter with her like yours I would..." sometimes positive sometimes not. Well it was obvious my hair DIDN'T want to be relaxed. It was fine being worried lol. I'd get a relaxer and less than 2 weeks later have a long fro again *it would go up in the front and lay down in the back*. At about 13 I found botanicals relaxer. It was the first one that totally completely straightened my hair but then came scalp issues. At 17 I went to an african american dermotologist (I included his race because the others I had told me to use this or that and wash once a day with drying chemicals) this guy said "for us to get you on track you should really leave the chemicals alone for a while" so I did and at 18 I bc'ed *even though I wasn't ready and I wouldn't have if I would have known I didn't have to* Now I'm close to the length from before but my texture is a lot thinner but the strands are thicker it's odd
