Hi...I decided to go natural about 2 months ago.(Currantly living in Austria ,Europe... there ainīt no hairdressers dealing with African American textured hair....fortunally moving to the US soon!)
I really donīt know what to do with my hair , but I know I wanna get rid of my relaxed hair.(Used to do perms by myself, which was one of the biggest mistakes!)
I have about 1 1/2- 1 3/4 inches new growth since I started out in late August(my hair grows very fast, so I donīt have problems growing my hair, itīs just so dry and brittle!!)
So my quesion is :Should I just chop off my relaxed hair or wait until I get more newgrowth?
I was thinking about trimming it myself and wear a sewn - in weave.(I was also thinking about starting the relaxing process again as soon I get more new growth,this time using the naturalaxer to make it softer, not all the way straight!)I have had my hair long all my life and I canīt imagine myself wearing my hair out SHORT!
And I do no longer opt for braids, they made my hair soooo weak and thinned out my eadges badly by pulling my roots out!

What do u think....any suggestions????

Iīd appreciate your respond!

What is wrong with wearing your hair ultra-short.Some of the most beautiful black women I have ever seen have short twa's!
My own wife is a mixed race woman(white/black mix), who wears her hair ultra-short, and sometimes shaves her head smooth and bald like some lady fashion models do,(and many women in Africa do, and some women in the U.S. as well), and she looks great with makeup, long dangle earrings and a sexy dress! When a woman has short hair or a shaved head you can really see her feminine features, it looks sexy and dynamic on a woman, very chic and fashionable!
Try going ultra-short, and contrary to the myth many men love that look on a woman, whether you are in Europe, Africa, or the U.S., the race of the man or woman doesn't matter, many men like women with cute attractive short hair styles!
Best of luck darling!

I just got back to the message board and read your response...sorry to say that but it's real crap!
I just moved to the States a couple of months ago.
I researched on a lot of hair care tips on the net and found some hair care products and vitamins that work wonders for me.
My hair is soft,strong and very shiny now and it grows 1 3/4 -2 inches every 4 weeks...sounds good haa..?
I can tell u have an obsession on "BOLD HEADED WOMEN"..
Bold or short ..well ...whatever u call it doesn't work for everyone, and especially not for me!
So Stop telling women on the board to shave their heads off!
And bye the way......what's yo'do have....short or bold..
