I couldnt help but notice the amount of people starting over. It seems alot of us are just tired of it.
Anyways, I got my hair relaxed today and I've been stretching since March. Its been uneven as hell and grazing APL for awhile now, and I guess the recent days of looking at the hair porn thread has inspired me to hold health over length.
The first pic is from the back, after the relaxer, after the blowdry and before the flatiron.
The second pic is from the front.
The third pic was the deciding factor in me cutting it off. I had three layers; one that stopped at my ears, one that stopped at my neck, and another that stopped at my armpits. From the front, it looked like I had a bad weave.
The fourth is where im at now.
Im barely grazing SL, and other than the style being wrong, I'm pretty content with it. This is the shortest ive had it in 5 years. On a sidenote; The FIFTH picture was what the style was SUPPOSED to look like. He told me that the style was a precision cut impossible to do without $1000 shears....
Wat.
I understand its a painting and may be a little unrealistic, but you cant tell me that thats not possible to do without Hollywood grade equipment, because my BOSS has something very similar, and i'll be damned if shes got the money for that.
/sidenote
Anyways, on to the main point and questions. Will oiling my ends protect them from wear and tear? Its not fully possible for me to wear a functional bun anymore as a PS. Can any of you reccommend any PS for hair my length? I can put it up in a short ponytail. I also plan on doing a protein treatment a week from now, is this too soon?
Is there anything else I can do to protect it while I continue growing out layers?
