I am currently transitioning and my issue is shedding, breakage, and tangling. I can understand why people do the BC. It is terrible transitioning. The relaxed ends are more tangled than the damn NG. What is up with that?
Same for me.My biggest issue is my impatience. I don't run into too many hair obstacles. I get SSK's but not enough to impede my progress. My hair grows at it's own steady pace but I want it to grow FASTER!
This is me except BSL in 2007. I don't think I've increased my length this year because of all the splits I've had to cut off - especially in the middle of my head, where they sometimes are 2-3 inches up the strand. I want to figure out what's up with that.It tangles and knots very easily, and is prone to split ends. Over the past three years, I have lost 3 inches of length. I was MBL in 2005, and aside from dusting a few times (and snipping off split ends whenever they appeared), I didn't retain any growth.
Yeah, I hear you. Just last week I realised how useful hair is when you have blemishes. I was getting my Veronica Lake on to cover this random breakout. Had to make sure not to get my face greasy though - not make things worse in the long run.I hate wearing my hair up because I think my head is shaped funny, plus I have some acne issues I'm dealing with.
You have beautiful relaxed hair. Not trying to get you to backtrack, just saying.I am currently transitioning and my issue is shedding, breakage, and tangling. I can understand why people do the BC.

This is me. I swear the amount of hair that sheds from my head annually could stuff all four pillows on my bed. Maybe even some on the couch too. I really don't understand how my dome isn't as bald and shiny as Kojak's. The difference is my trimming is mainly because of splits.My biggest obstacles are:
1. Shedding is a beast (I'm suprised I even have hair left at times)
2. Tangles... tangles... tangles
3. Excessive trimming (due to #1 & #2)
I currently struggle with self relaxing. I have several different textures on my hair that are underprocessed and overprocessed. The biggest problem with my hair is that even when I flat iron it, I can still tell that I have 292942 different textures to my hair.
Right now I'm not having an obstacle preventing me from getting to my goals. My obstacle is impatience! I want it NOW! So lately I've been braiding it up and getting it out of my face so I don't buzz it off. I just passed mid back by an inch but want waist length yesterday, and I want it blunt without layers, but I know that while waist length is around the corner, aprilish/mayish, getting out these layers could take a year or more!
SO I really am just being an a--! and I know it, but I can't help it because I'm IMPATIENT! So anyways I've been walking around with cornrows for the past couple of months when not flatironing just so that I don't undo all of the progress I've made by chopping away out of annoyance.
Have you sworn off stylists for any particular reason. If self-relaxing is doing more harm than good....I currently struggle with self relaxing.

I rather have underprocessed hair than have no hair at all.Have you sworn off stylists for any particular reason. If self-relaxing is doing more harm than good....
