isn't this counter productive though? like doing the "big chop" and getting a relaxer shortly after? this is what i mean by constantly manipulating hair instead of just letting it grow. that doesn't mean walking around with an unkempt afro either.
shyt is just mind boggling when you put it in perspective. you'd think black men had a different hair texture than black women if you were completely foreign to the situation.
Growing your hair out from a big chop is THE pits. Honestly I'd rather just get my 2 all over with a soft edge than have this in between business. There is big difference in short natural hair and short relaxed hair. HUGE difference.
