I'm So Guilty! I relaxed. (pix)

Sike lmao.
I was so close though! I just reached one of those days when that ONE thing that happens to you that makes you do something drastic to your hair. IE, break ups.

On the way home I swerved into walgreens and picked up a relaxer. As i touched it I then said "maybe i'll just texlax" cause i came too far to go back to that stingy hair looking mess. It's been 7 months transitioning. People said it gets better after the 4th month but Im still breakage and i get discouraged easily cause times are hard and school books and bills are kicking my bank accounts a$s so them products and sew in weaves aren't looking friendly to my wallet. Anyway.... I put the relaxer down.

I felt like a heroin addict going through a relapse. To my surprise my mom got some more redken smooth down poo and con AND THE BUTTER TREAT. Im gonna see if this would make it better for me. I wish I could do buns but my hair isn't thick enough right now for that. I have a lot of flyaways and short hairs too which i hate.

Anyway my last wash I needed a trim bad so i gave myself one. Because of the flash my hair seems okay but it just didn't feel like it. The trim just made it a tad better. It's like adding salt to old, warm, stale fries from mcdonalds :look:


before the wash and trim






Don't mind the uneven color. I tried to just do the back blonde and touched up my 3 or more inches of new growth with bluest black. I forgot the ends of the back of my hair still had some black in it from last time so it didn't turn the whole back blonde.

Also, I need some help with my hair type. My hair was damp a little here, what do you think?



i hate those stupid, stringy, relaxed ends. can't wait til i chop it off

Your hair looks really good, don't beat yourself up about relaxing though, when you're ready to become natural, it'll happen.

Around the 8th month, I got the itchies and cut if off.. I think it's like that but dont cut unless you are ready! Your hair looks good and healthy.. maybe you should try twistouts or something to give you some variety

Step awayyyyyy from the relaxer!:grin:

Your hair look nice and healthy and you did a great job on the trim. Did you flat iron it (to get it straight) or did you rollerset and wrap?

This is so funny!!! I almost did the same thing at Sally Beauty Supply. I kept walking past the relaxers while looking for other items. LOL! I am transitioning too. But my hair was very short to begin with so I am almost fully natural now. The transition is easier with shorter hair, because their is less relaxed hair to deal with. Anyway, stay strong. We may need to start a support group for this. LOL.
