beyondcute said:The reasons are many but here are a few:
1. My hair would not hold a curl, a wave, a NUFFIN!
2. The last person that relaxed my hair severely underprocessed it.
3. I THOUGHT my hair was healthy until it grew out and I compared the roots to the ends and its beyond obvious that the relaxer thinned my hair.
4. $85 for a touch-up
5. See the naturals around campus
6. Couldnt remmeber what my hair looked like BEFORE a relaxer.
7. During my transition most poeple cant tell if I have a relaxer or not especially when I get it straightened.
8. My biology teacher that taught us about how chemicals get in your skin and the Einstien realization that I was putting baby drano on my scalp.
9. My fear of losing all my hair due to somebodys irresponsibility
Okay thats enough.
