I caved and texturized.
I know it's "my hair" but I will explain what happened.
As I've been growing out my kinks and curls, I've been having problems keeping my hair half presentable. Tying it down, gelling, wave grease, MTG/BT applications, all of these things became in vain when I began working out regularly.
I really didn't care if I was tacky looking in my own house ( I figured my hair would come into it's own and nobody would see me), but I have a job which will soon require my presence in front of a camera, I'm going to see family, and I just feel that the "tacky 1/2 and 1/2" feeling I was getting disturbed how I felt about myself and humidity. I wanted my texture, but I wanted LESS frizz, more manageability, possibly less shrinkage!
So after careful consideration, I remember that I had begun to use JFM texture softener, and I really liked it. My hair wasn't flat or tacky like Motions Herbal or Gentle Treatment or any other "any ole" relaxer made it.
I purchased it, and then put ALL of the oil in the mix, and COATED my hair with COCONUT OIL, applied it, and then waited 5 minutes. (SO walked in on me in the buff and was like...
erplexed "Why are you nude ?" and I explained it was so I can Jump into the shower at the 5 minute mark, which I did.
So far, so good. My hair still has volume (it's thick!) and it's natural texture is 95% intact without too many of the issues regarding drying. I even have my waves when wet and when dry in the front! (I used to always be BOOOOOOOOOONE STRAIGHT in the front, and loose wavy curls in the back).
I'll post pics later.
