So my DH and I had a 45 minute debate on Natural vs. Relaxed this past friday night. I have been natural for 5 years and he has been relaxed and in cornrows since he was in high school. I have been doing his relaxers and cornrows for him though, since we've known each other (7 years). His argument was that he wants to be able to consistantly wear his hair strait without having to fool with it too much; especially since he works out for an hour every day. He wants long, sexy strait hair down to his MB but he's too lazy too put in the work to get it. He has had this relaxer for over a decade and his hair is still SL because he brushes way too hard + while his hair is wet, AND he pulls his hair back into a ponytail too tight, he never moisturizes and never detaingles. I told him that I really want him to accept the natural hair that God blessed him with without resorting to chemicals and that he can't have every thing he wants. Also, I confessed to him that he has gorgeous 4c coils that are dense but very fine and would look absolutly stunning if he could get all of that to retain to MBL. He smiled... (hook, line and sinker!) He then said " If you can give me a regimen that works for my schedule and won't get in the way of other things then I will go natural"
Ya'll already know..... I came back 5 minutes later with a layout for how we're going to start caring for his hair and how he's going to transition out of his relaxer.... (he does NOT want to BC). So his new reggie as follows:
Clarify Wash once a month
followed by ORS Pak DC and a Aubrey Organics protein treatment also once a month
PC will be cornrows
I told him which products under the bathroom sink he can use:
100% pure Africa Shea Butter (to soften new growth)
Aphogee Leave -in Pro-Vitamin Conditioner Spray (light protein for the demarcation line)
Once a month I will chop a half inch off, as his hair grows about a half inch a month.
I will straighten his hair only 2x's a year with a maxiglide to allow him to show off his hair, other than that it's going right back into braids
He agreed with the regimen and even now is thinking about how good he's going to look with MBL coils.
He sent me aan email of Goku from DragonBall Z -- titled " My hair in 8 years! (except black)" LOL
<--goku
I'm so proud of my bayybay!
