I have decided to transition from relaxed hair to natural hair after some struggle getting back my relaxed to a healthy stage. The breakage was a lot, so I had to to come to terms with it, and I have been thinking about growing natural for a long time.

I think you unnecessarily trimmed off too much of your hair, and you trimmed it excessively with each sew in removal. Your breakage/damage was just the perimeter, but the rest of your hair was fine. The perimeter would catch back up eventually. I had crown breakage last year, where the hair broke down to 2 inches but the rest of my hair was long. No way I was going to cut all my hair to the length of the crown breakage. With time, the crown grew back on its own, to the same length as the healthy hair

I see your point. But I'm happy with my decision, and as they say its just hair. Eventually it will be long again and if I want to be relaxed again, I can.

That's amazing - I wish there were more stories shared in the black hair community about people letting broken sections of hair catch up. I don't think big chops are the only solution.

@ambrosia1917 5 ай бұрын

@@meemee24739 totally agree! black women are the only ones who big chop when there's major damage because of our comfort getting fake hair

Try Moroccan Hair Moisture shampoo and hair mask. It is a excellent product. Can only get it in salon. I stopped buying store bought shampoo. Quality not as good.

Same!!!. I stopped relaxers in june 2022 and was natural for a year and relaxed again in july 2023. I am regretting now because my relaxed hair is breaking off and debating whether to go natural again but sad about losing all the length. I'm currently at 2 months post relaxer trying to stop the breakage. My plan is to go one more month trying to get my hair back to health. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to natural and this time stick to it.... Hopefully :)

And tell your stylist to use the lightest relaxer they have that’s what I had to do my stylist was like putting the strongest stuff she had on my hair because my hair is thick and it all broke in the middle but I started using k18 and it stopped breaking I wish I used it sooner because I lost a shit ton of hair

Why can't one transition from relaxed to natural without loosing length. I'm seriously researching on ways to transition without loosing length

@samminu 2 ай бұрын

Because the roots get so thick that it is hard for the relaxed hair to hold on.

I'm glad you are restarting your healthy hair journey by going natural, but what happened to your hair that led to the breakage and excessive shedding. I saw that you had hair extensions/sew-ins but you kept a good hair routine that kept your hair healthy. So what happened? I was surprised that this happened to you because I started using hair glossers from your videos.

@samminu 4 ай бұрын

I over-processed it by filming a video of how I relaxed my hair. I was struggling with the video with the right angles and also not keeping in the relaxer too long. I used to regret that video, but I am ok with it now because I would not have done my transitioning now.

I wish you the best of luck on your hair journey, but DONT big chop!!!! It's possible to rehab hair (have you tried aphogee 2-STEP (not 2-min)?) and natural hair is susceptible to heat and mechanical damage.
