I want to do this, but I am scared of how everything will turn out. I have transitioned before (relaxed to natural) but the diff. is that I cut off most of the relaxed ends. I have never just cut it all off at once. What would you suggest? I am home for the summer, so I would not have to worry about other people seeing my head shaved, but at the same time I don’t think I would feel very feminine.
My hair has been natural before, but I get frustrated with it bc I don’t know how to properly handle it and I just give in to relaxers. When it is in its natural state, I can’t treat it like kinky afro textured hair, bc it is wavy/curly but coarse at the same time. Therefore, I can’t go a long time w/o washing it. My hair is also too fine to do twists and things of this nature designed for kinkier hair.
I have also tried the no shampoo method in which one washes their hair with conditioner, but it cause my hair to come out. What would you do?
Nature girl: I think that you misundestood what I meant. I meant natural as in the hair texture I was born with. See, I have relaxed it and made it straight due to chemical treatment. Now, I want to go back to my roots so to speak and the easiest way to do this would be to get rid of the chemically treated hair. Even though you misunderstood thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Yvonne, I seriously think it is past your bed time, lol. I am pretty sure you have school in the morning so go to sleep!
