So. I’ve made it to 28 weeks post in the cold, dreary, snowy climate of massachusetts.
8/10 I’m relaxing this friday/saturday (depends on the parties, my homework, etc.)
My hair has been ALRIGHT but I think it’s too moisturized, which scares me because you’re supposed to have strong protein-rich hair before a relaxer. However, I didn’t have enough Aphogee 2 minute to do a reconstructor before the relaxer and don’t have ANY clarifying shampoo with me here..*sigh*
Luckily, my dad just sent me some of my Nexxus Keraphix but he couldn’t find any of the ORS Aloe Shampoo I had (I wonder where it went..)
I have two options: wait a couple more weeks to relax my hair or relax my hair this week.
I could wait so that my hair can have the strength and preparation it needs to be healthily relaxed..or I could relax this week because what the hell, my hair is pretty healthy already..
To tell you the truth, I don’t really want to relax for the sake of my scalp..looking back on my past entries in the blog (think three years ago) I see that I had bad scalp burns and the scalp pain JUST went away a couple weeks ago..I kid you not, I was dealing with scalp pain in certain spots for years…and here I’m just gonna relax it to hurt my scalp again? *sigh*
I have to think long and hard about it..the only reason I’m itching to relax is because I want to showcase my hair because certain people seem to think that I don’t have any because I have wigs. Which is absurd because I used to wear my hair straightened alot earlier in the fall semester. Oh well..
it’s funny because most people are discouraging me from relaxing my hair..lol. good friends.
