Thanx to Babyblue and Henrilou, I\'ve Decided to...
..................Stay natural.
After weeks of debate, I've decided to not chemically alter my hair anymore. My last few posts have been about texturizers because I caved in and wanted to see some length fast
. I was honestly looking for REASONS to relax. I can't help it, I want length
lol.
I am in love with several (if not ALL) of the hair albums that's I've seen on this board (haven't had time to look at them all), however, I've made the personal decision to not relax my hair any further. My mostly 4a/b hair grows too fast for me to have to retouch every 4-6 weeks.
I mention these two ladies because they seem to have hair (descriptions/visuals) that is very similar to mine. So here I am, 2.30 in the morning and I can't sleep. I find myself reading archived posts and they just made my decision very clear . My hair grew with a relaxer, but in all honesty, as Henrilou mentioned in some of her posts, my hair loses too much elasticity with a relaxer. Sad it's gotta be that way, because the relaxer seemed ideal for so long .....But my hair just got to a certain length and snapped off. Once, and I mean ONCE, after wearing my hair in a phony pony for a long time, I went in for a touch up and wrap, etc and my hair was almost bra strap length! Yeah, Surpised me too
! I didn't even look like myself! It was gorgeous! Everyone thought it was fake
lol.... But I would be da*mned if I could duplicate that look 2 days later . So after that, I became a 'do it yourself-er'. I hate salon dependance.
I have to add another thing (off topic). Even though I choose to remain natural, I prefer this forum over the 'other' one(s). I'm sure a lot of natural ladies here know which one(s) I'm refering to. I was a member of one in particular for a long time, but the attitude and superiority and downright meaness of some of the members made me become a lurker
. I can appreciate a gorgeous head of hair whether it's relaxed, pressed, flat ironed, texturized or natural
. I love the aura of this forum and that's why I feel comfy enough to hang out here
Thanx for reading, once again. Now I shall go to bed and dream about having pretty and healthy hair.
