Finally here with a length check and texture shot.
Its been about 8 weeks since my relaxer but I must've taken these pics at the 6th week mark or so.
As you can see the last picture my edges are becoming thin again. They were really thin earlier on this year then thicken up but have now become thinner again. I think its a combination of me getting the relaxer and using the edge control (and bristle brush) on such a frequent basis. Right now I'm giving the edge control a bit of a break and keeping it to once a week or so. Hopefully that helps thicken then up.
Other than that I'm also thinking about getting some coarse yaki clip ins. I want longer hair and seeing as my hair is pretty straight I've had to face the fact that I can't wear curly hair and have my leave out blend (my texturised hair just loosens). I know straight hair would be a lot easier to blend then curly hair so I'll see how I feel. If I get them then I will update.
My current go to hair style is a bun at the back and a curly braidout fringe (or bangs). I get to many compliments on it. More than I ever expected. So my texturised hair has been pretty great so far and low maintainance. Thank you everyone for your advice. SO happy my hair journey is on the right track at the moment
