Ok, so I have not relaxed my hair in about 8 months. It hasn't been that difficult considering the fact that I have been protective styling and haven't actually worn my hair out in the entire 8 months. I recently took out the cornrows I'd been wearing for about 3 weeks and came face to face with 4 inches of thick, coarse, kinky new growth.
I plan to get my relaxer this week. In the meantime I am wearing mostly buns. I have to keep manipulation as low as possible because the line of demarcation (where the new growth meets the relaxed growth) is susceptible to breakage. Here are some styles I am wearing:
My high bun
Front flat twists and bun
Excuse the poor lighting and lack of makeup....um what can I say, it was a lazy Sunday afternoon...
Kisses,
