okay i've ben trying to wait my relaxer out until november 20, but its just not working. I have almost 2 inches of matted, kinky, new growth!!!!! Last night i was in the mirror, and when examining my hair i said i just have to relax it soon. It broke off pretty bad and i think i just made matters worse. THE STUPID THING I DID WAS: I combed my new growth out (my reasoning was to make the roots easier to part and ease my relaxer application) and i know better.. i do.
My hair is soo broken off in the back, i mean its bad, I can grab the whole section and have maybe 20 hairs that survived the damage. its very stringy obviously and it looks horrible, there's no way i can wear my hair out with this choppy section. I think i just weakened the bonds between my natural hair and relaxed hair back there and i'm wary about applying a relaxer, i think it will break it off further. But on the flip side i KNOW there is no way to maintain the rest of the hairs on my head if i dont' relax soon.
I wanted to do a protein treatment before my relaxer to strengthen, but i dont think my hair can stand to go another day without a relaxer. I'm just worried. I feel very bad.
BTW the damaged section is improving, but the stringy ends make it look bbadddd, i was gonna put a track in the back of my hair to let that part rest, maybe that's an option. I'm about to throw in the towel for a few months and just get this hair weaved up completely.
