Let me say it for all to hear - I have survived 8 weeks since my last relaxer and I'm not ready to stop! I am currently finishing up my protein treatment and looking forward to the next week of doing my hair.
I've recently seen the documentary - Food Inc, which has caused me to re-examine what I think is the norm. Maybe some things aren't meant to be. Maybe I shouldn't put chemicals in my hair... Maybe the chemicals hidden in the foods that we eat every day is enough? I'm still thinking this through and seeking guidance on this issue, but I may be persuaded...
I do feel as though I have a new found freedom with being 8 weeks post and not dying for a relaxer. I'm been able to manage by my new haircut. I can wear my hair in ways that are relaxer-proof. I can wear it down and it's light and fluffy. I can wear a pony tail and it's still super cute. I can't even say I've been deep conditioning or even shampooing for the past few weeks. On the weekends I've been busy, so I usually just wait until after my workout on Monday to co-wash. And when blow drying, I haven't even attempted to get my roots as straight as I used to do. I've deemed that it requires WAY too much work, so I just get it dry and flat iron.
I'm hoping that this upcoming week is as manageable as my last several weeks have been. :-)
Stay tuned.
