We're sorry, but this discussion has just been closed to further replies.
when i transitioned i waited 2 months after my last relaxer and went to micro braids. i stayed in braids for 7 months so i would have new growth without having to cut all my hair off. my hair was past my shoulders relaxed, and i just couldnt bear to chop it all off. i still had hair that was straight, but i started with 2 strand twists until i had enough hair where i felt comfortable cutting off the rest of the relaxer. i still was hurt when i cut off the relaxer, but honestly, after a week i was fine. my hair is so much healthier than it was before, and in less than a year it grew longer than it was before i cut off the relaxer.
an added bonus for me is my hair smells so good now. no more chemical smells for me! i dont really use any name brand stuff, i have my own mixture that i use. i take a spray bottle and add leave in mayo conditioner, olive oil, carrot oil, just a little water, and jasmine. i also use coconut conditioner. it leaves me hair smelling fab and my husband loves it. the key is to use natural oils.
