You have two options. To grow it out or cut off the relaxed hair.
No, you do not have to cut your hair. You can simply stop getting relaxers. To avoid a rough transition, though, you should get sew ins until your transition is complete. If your hair is currently relaxed, then you will need to cut off the relaxed parts. You may grow your hair out of about 4-6 months before cutting the relaxed parts, but if you don't cut it, it will soon break off at the demarcation line (the point where the stronger natural hair meets the more fragile relaxed hair)
The answer is yes & no. No matter if you have natural hair or relaxed hair if you don't take the time to properly care for it will be unhealthy. There are benefits to natural hair and relaxed hair but it really depends on your preference. Choose the option that best for you.
Some people do & some people don't. You can relax your hair if it is natural, or you can leave it natural.
Not necessarily; there are people with natural hair who simply have slow growth & it is actually very possible to have healthy relaxed hair. Growth has to do with genetics, vitamins, & hair care.
You can't. Once it has been chemically relaxed you will have to wait until you have regrowth and just let it all grow out of your hair.
You really cant make relaxed hair curly, you have to have natural curly hair. Don't try anything you can damaged your hair really badly putting to many chemicals in it, trust me I have tried
What I recommend is that you braid your hair in single plaits (weave) that are not too small (ex: micros) and just keep wearing that style for about a year and a half. Then your hair should be more natural than permed. I did not cut my hair, but my friend who wanted to go natural also, did. Right now I have more hair than her and we both have the same texture hair (kinky). You do not need to cut your hair. Don't rush it. Just stop perming it and wash it every month or so. but if you ??will i
Yes, you can get bangs with relaxed hair, but it’s important to consider your hair's texture and health first. Relaxed hair can be more fragile, so ensure your bangs are cut in a way that complements your face shape and works with your hair’s natural movement. Regular maintenance and proper care will help keep your bangs looking great. Consulting a stylist experienced with relaxed hair can provide the best results.
Natural black hair is naturally dry due to the way our hair is made and when chemicals are introduced to the hair it dries it out even further. With that said we now know that our hair needs as much moisture as possible right?Water is moisture and black hair no matter if it's natural or relaxed should be washed every 3 days with a sulfate free shampoo. It should also be conditioned every time you wash as well.For more information on developing your own haircare regimen for relaxed hair please visit this site at related links below.
Some women do & some don't. What matters is what the person wants to do, not what society says. Remember: you are not any less Black if you relax your hair and you are not revolutionary if you wear your hair natural.
you just use color remover i believe.
The hair care needs of women of African descent are unique. In its natural state, black hair is tightly coiled, making it difficult for the scalp’s natural oil (called sebum) to be distributed down the hair’s shaft. Because of this, African-American hair tends to be dry unless healthy hair care techniques are put into practice. The majority of black women in the US chemically straighten their hair using a product known as a relaxer. Relaxers break the hair’s bonds, causing curls to straighten. This weakens hair, so special care should be taken of relaxed hair. Hair should be relaxed no more often than every six to eight weeks. Relaxing more often than this increases the risk of overlapping and accidentally relaxing previously-relaxed hair. This causes damage and increases the possibility of hair loss. Women who choose to wear their hair without chemical straighteners are referred to as naturals. Maintaining healthy natural hair is often easier than keeping relaxed hair healthy, but there are still healthy hair care practices to which one must adhere. Because black women have very curly hair, with curls typically ranging in size from smaller than a pen spring to approximately the size of sidewalk chalk, hair should not be combed when dry. Combing natural hair when it is dry is often an open invitation to frizz and breakage. It is best to only comb naturally curly hair when it is wet and drenched in conditioner. Whether relaxed or natural, black women should choose moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. Ones that specify they are for dry, color-treated, or curly hair work well. How frequently hair is washed is an individual decision. Typically, washing hair daily is not a wise decision whether the hair is relaxed or natural, because it is drying and strips the hair of its natural oils. However, many women with natural hair choose to wash their hair daily with conditioner only. This is moisturizing and does not dry the hair. Shampoo should be used one or twice per week to remove buildup. A water-based moisturizer should be applied daily. Many choose to seal in the moisture with an oil, such as olive or coconut oil.
