Seeing length and the easier detangling sessions are the things I miss. But, I'm fine where I'm at now.
What I miss about being relaxed... :scratchch
NOT A THING!
I can still wear straight hair if I wish and do everything I did with relaxed hair if I wish--and even more now because it's longer. I'm so happy I have the option to not wear straight hair and that I don't have to depend on anyone for my hair's upkeep and don't have to deal with two textures and don't have to spend crazy money on hair.
I suppose for me being relaxed was more work because I always had to do my hair every morning. Even just wrapping it at night and unwrapping in the morning was more work than I have to do now. I can literally go a weeks w/o doing anything to my natural hair besides washing it (not even moisturizing after the wash) and I can still get away w/o ever needing to detangle or ever having problems. Can't beat that!
Like other posters, I miss the manageability, predictable styles and sheer bliss of my "healthy hair."
I miss the 1-2 hour wash days and the fact that I never had to detangle it. And rollersetting.
Nice thread topic!
I would be interested in hearing from more current naturals who loved their relaxed hair and never had issues with it.....like me.
I mean really, if you hated getting a relaxer, burned each time, had no edges, got oozing sores, etc., who would blame you for not missing that process?
