So shortly after my 2 year anniversary....I caved. Even as I write this I fight back tears. In July I decided to relax my hair. It was summer and I wanted to be in the pool. I knew that dealing with chlorine and my natural hair would be a struggle, so I decided to relax my hair so that it would be more manageable as it got wet. In September I relaxed my new growth. In October I decided to give myself a bob, so that my hair would grow evenly. Though my hair looked healthy, it kept shedding like crazy. Hair everywhere! I was afraid to put my hair in a ponytail for fear that it would chip off. It was #teamtoomuch. I missed my natural hair's state. Strong and durable. I wanted it back. I decided to cut my hair to about 2 inches hoping that I could put it in twists to muster up some new growth. Being the impulsive person that I am, transitioning is just difficult for me. I like to start fresh watching and feeling my growth. And so that's where I am right now, debating whether I should another big cop, or transition with the 2 inches of hair that I have left. Decisions..
