I have healthy relaxed hair. It took me a long time and what I learned on this site to get to this point. I am just at BSL and that's really long enough for me. What I was wondering from you ladies is this, do you feel that people now sort of look down on those of us who still relax? I know the natural hair thing is hot right now and I feel like it is a thing that a lot of people are doing now because its kind of "in". But I have learned from this site that you can have healthy RELAXED hair and natural really is a lot of work until you get to find your groove and know what works for you and your hair.
I am old enough to remember my hair back in the day when a hot comb ruled the day. I lived and died by the weather report afraid of the least bit of humidity. I know there are a lot of flat irons and products that can help you manage natural hair these days, but it just isn't for me. But recently I have been wondering if anyone else sort of feels that those that have switched look at those of us who are still relaxing as somehow..."less than"?
I have had people say to me..."oh you're STILL relaxing" and then look at me as if I have two heads.
Is it just me?
