Re: newbie - starting to transition - UPDATE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS HELP!
So this morning getting ready for work was a nightmare!!! I washed my hair and with the shrinkage it was a bit of a challenge to get it into a decent bun. Plus it was a little greasy due to the extra moisturizing. I'm already having doubts about transitioning. I cut my hair into a bob with lots of layers due to breakage from heat in Dec 07 (big mistake
) and I'm still trying to recover.
The issue with my hair is that if I get relaxers my hair cannot take a lot of heat. Unfortunately, almost every stylist that I've been to over does it with heat.
The one stylist who got my hair in really great shape told me to choose... heat and no perm or perm and minimal heat. I tried a texturizer or texlaxer once and I didn't like it. My hair grows out in a wave pattern with zero curl. It ended up looking very rough instead of smooth.
I know my hair is growing but I'm not getting any length. I think its due to 1)major shedding/possible breakage (extremly dry hair), 2)my stylist trimming off my progress and 3) all the layers. Has anyone gone through anything similar?
I'll try to post some pics of my hair later on tonight. Any opinions advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for writing a book...........
