Is this an unrealistic goal? With proper care, are texlaxed/natural ends STRONGER than relaxed ends (less prone to breakage)?
I am a devout rollersetter and I use Chi StraightGaurd to set my hair. It comes out smooth, but the texlaxed ends are still somewhat frizzy. Normally, after my hair fully dries and I take the rollers out, I will add a little moisturizer on the ends and put the ends in a few magnetic rollers for a few more minutes, and this helps smooth the ends without heat. This technique works, however, this starts to weigh the hair down after a few days.
Note: My ends are not damaged or split. Before I realized that I was working with two textures (I'm relaxed bone straight everywhere else), I didn't realize the texlaxed areas needed extra moisture and took the frizz as "damage" and unneccessarily trimmed 1.5 inches. I've also seen natural or curly ladies who don't have perfectly smooth ends and it's still healthy and looks good. I'm wondering what they do to their ends.
