I'm still scared to go to the salon!
Girl I know exactly what you mean! It took me a couple of years to get up the courage to let somebody else do my hair when I was natural and growing it out. I needed to though, I have no hair skills whatsoever whether relaxed or natural. If and when I go natural again I am definately letting the professionals handle my hair.
sareca: The stylist said I only need to get it touched up once or twice a year if I want to maintain the texturizer. I'm wondering if it's going to be fragile at the demarcation line of new growth like my relaxed hair (straight) was. I hope not! I am not going to be a slave to touch ups again.
Lucia: She used a Fiberguard relaxer. I don't know if that is lye or no-lye. I forgot to ask her the details
erplexed . Not that I would really know the difference anyway. I am going to ask her when I go back for a shape up in a couple months. It was on and off in about 5 minutes including application time. It feels a quite a bit softer than before I got the texturizer. I think that may have to do with getting a lot chopped off. My ends were frazzled as usual. I never really styled my hair natural, I just pulled it back into a ponytail and let the ponytail out when it was dry...that's kind of why I opted for a texturizer. It allows me to have some kind of style that I don't have to spend time on. Styling time now is like a couple of minutes and that is only because I like to finger curl sections for a really curly look. I could just let it dry left alone too.
asummertyme: Love the tattoo I got one too recently (first time) for my 39th birthday in June. Maybe I'll put a picture of it in my album.
Brownshugaz: You've got a respectable amount of growth for just 2 years. Plus you seem to have some skill at styling your hair. It looks really healthy and pretty.
