Whats hiding under your relaxers?

March 10, 2012 "BC"
6 months post her last relaxer

This weekend I helped my friend cut out her relaxer "BC" it had been six months since her last relaxer and she was ready. She was very nervous because with the two hair textures, her relaxed ends and the new growth, she thought her hair would be just a big ball of nappy mess. I knew for me self that wasn't true because of my own experience. I know that having two hair textures are hard to deal with, once you have more than a inch of new growth. What starts to happen is your relax ends will get tangled in your new growth causing very unmanageable knots and breakage. So that's usually the reason women give up going natural because they think it will be just so unmanageable. They never get to see whats under the relaxer I'm glad my friend did it and was able to see her beautiful hair texture.

Soon as I put her under the water I seen her curls no product on her hair or anything. She thought her hair was just "nappy" she had naturally curly hair. A whole head full of shiny curls just waiting to burst out...Not that you should go natural just for curly hair. However its important that we understand our hair and exactly what we have and working with. My friend has been relaxing her hair so long she never new her hair was naturally curly and that is the beauty of going natural to me. Its going to take her some time to get use to it but I'm sure she wont have a problem with it since she can rock anything. This time next year her fro is going to be as long as mine if not longer and those curls are going to be banging. March 10, 2012 marks the day of Tiffany "BC" I think I'm more excited for her than she is. I wish her the best on her journey as a natural and her "TWA" is perfect for the summer.
