Having relaxed hair sucks sometimes
Just wanted somewhere to rant:
I love my relaxed hair, have had relaxed hair majority of my life, however it’s so hard to upkeep it sometimes. I don’t relax at home and only go salons. Back home it was fine and I had a long time hair stylist on lock. My hair was growing more than ever, she even took a picture of it to show people her work and that relaxed hair can be health 🥹 Then I moved to a whiter environment and the aloof people who could do relaxers became slim to none. I already struggle doing my hair at home because of the amount of work and got used to just going to a salon. I called around for hours and the most ridiculous price I heard was $284 for a touch up, style and trim, like wtf?!?
It made me understand that I don’t have a much freedom as I want because I will always be concerned about who can do my hair. After 2 months of no styling and just washing at home, it looked horrible. Now I have to drive an hour to get it done every 2-3 weeks 🥲
