I took my braids out, and I must admit that at 6 months post (I made it!!!), my hair looks a a CHIA PET!!!!!!!
The thing is, I am terrified to go back to relaxing. I can't do the natural thing so I know I need a relaxer. I stopped relaxing months before I joined this board because my hair stylist kept burning my scalp (I TOLD her regular strength was too strong). She said because I had been scratching which I never did prior to relaxing.
Though I have been relaxing for years, my past experiences have made me a little gun shy. All I can remember is thin/ lifeless hair from the Design Essentials and Affirm Relaxers, and underprocessed. dry hair from the no-lye relaxers (Mizani). What should I do?
I am tempted to try Phyto, but I can't find anyone to do it for me without charging me an arm and a leg, and I do not want to damage my hair any more than it already is by putting it in myself. Any suggestions?
