Relaxed Hair journey post – 5 years wasted… (July 15, 2009)

Why couldn’t I have found Hairlista (Hairlicious) and the other forums when I was natural??? I would not have relaxed my texturized hair… I now have almost 100% straight but thin hair and now realizing that my hair should be texlaxed (75%) not relaxed. I have to “start over” again… I will not do the BC again though. I did a BC in 2004 thinking my hair will benefit from a break from the relaxers. This only made me realize that I had no clue how to take care of my 4a/4b hair. I re-relaxed in 2006 (my hair was texturized back then) and I only found the hair care forums in 2009. What a waste… Now I am starting to know how to take care of my hair and only wish I didn’t waste so much time. If I had started on my journey in 2004, after my BC (boy short); where would I be today, 5 years later? Oh well… That’s life…
