LOL! I get relaxers every 8 weeks. Be sure that next time you go, only get a touch-up, not a full relaxer. A touch-up will straigten your roots, and not do anything to the previously relaxed hair. Some hairdressers may assume when you say relaxer that you mean your whole head relaxed and not just the new growth.

Ingredients:
Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Fragrance.

It does say to keep away from fire flame or smoking, but I am a smoker who ignores the warnings and will use hair spray in the bathroom while smoking, lol.

Whoami, your hair sounds like my sister-in-laws, she cut hers very short and it looks fabulous now. She does go for a cut every 5 weeks though and she drys it completely immediately following a wash.

omg 1/2, please be careful. fluff, i think relaxers work differently on caucasian hair as opposed to a/a hair. so im not sure if the touch-up thing applies. speaking of which i need to touch-up my own hair, which i do myself.

My hair is as black as a crow's butt. About a year and a half ago the husband starts in on the grey hair. It never really bothered me, I thought oh well adds character and all that crap. So I decided to highlight it. It was beautiful, my hairdresser put in honey colored highlights BUT the grey still showed. So next time I decide to go lighter with the highlights. It looked great, everyone said it took off 10 years! So I go again and get talked into going totally bleached. This worked for one month. I thought I was going to go nuts. I would actually have dreams and my hair would be black in them! I went back and she dyed it dark dark brown, it took 2 hours. Now I have a black ring around my head where my roots are. She can kiss it I'm dying it black myself next time. And the hubby better not EVEN say one word about grey hair.

So I got it out of my system and I'm all good and everything. Amazingly my hair is in great shape. I use RX Transpose shampoo and RX Super Protein Pac conditioner by Jheri Redding.

LOL Half! Geez, be careful! (I just have the funniest image right now...)

Square, I would love to have Porta de Rossi's hair too. It looks nice and thick, but smooth at the same time.

Really, Square??? Mkay. But, wouldn't that be damaging to apply the relaxer over the already relaxed hair? It seems like that would overprocess the hair.

Too funny. I've always had ugly hair. It's fine, thick, and flips in all the wrong places. I recently started highlighting and that seems to add some body, and I think I've found a stylist that can work with this mop.

My mother and I were in the long hair/tangles battle when I was a little girl. At age six, it was cut off to a pixie. It went from mid-back to above my jawline; I cried until daddy came home. After a couple days of no hair battles with mom, I realized this was a great new do. And mind you, all my friends had long hair, so I was pretty attached to it. Most moms don't like me when I say it, sorry, but I say just cut it. Maybe a couple inches at a time though. A pixie was pretty dramatic. It's just not worth a daughter's misery.

Northstar - when I was 7 yrs old my mom cut my long to my waist hair into a pixie. It was very traumatic for me and my father - I thought he would kill my mother.

Wow on the pixie. My step father also had my waist long hair cut into a pixie. I thought my mother would kill him. It was very traumatic for me as well. I was 9 at the time.

My hair sounds very much like Neko's, except it is even longer. It comes all the way down to the small of my back, with long layers around my face. Its color ranges from brown to many shades of golden blond. It probably needs to be trimmed, but I love it and hate to get it cut. Most of my male friends love it and have a cow when I mention the word "haircut."

When I left my ex-husband seven years ago, I got it cut off to shoulder length and flipped it at the ends. My female friends liked it like that. It was very liberating to cut it at the time because it was a symbolic haircut, but as the years passed and it grew again, I have come to realize that I really love having long hair. It makes me feel sexy. Since I am not at all happy with my body, I feel like I can at least enjoy my hair! :)

Here's my two cents ... I only relax my roots every 6-8 weeks or so. It is possible to overprocess it, causes it to become very dry and brittle. I've been salt and pepper since I was 18, so it's too late for me to do anything to it ...

Northstar, LOL. You reminded me of my mom. She had LONG hair as a girl and when I say LONG, I mean LONNNNGGGGG. :) Her mother would put in three braids and then braid the three braids and it was still long enough that my mother could sit on the plait. Well one summer she went to spend her holidays with her mother's sister (this was in Austria).... the aunt immediately became disgusted at the amount of time it took every day to comb out my mother's hair, wash it, braid it, etc. So she cut it to her shoulders and my grandmother spent decades before she would speak to her sister again. Mom says she just kept her mouth shut but she was secretly happy about the haircut. LOL

With my girls, I don't really care whether they have long or short hair.... I just sorta gear it towards the type of hair they have. You can see all our mixed heritage on their heads {G} My oldest has jet-black bone straight but course hair which doesn't tangle so much as mat. She wears it short and layered(btn her ears and shoulders). My middle one is a brunette with very wiry, wavy hair and lots of cowliks. If I cut it short, it would be a nightmare... she needs it long to weigh it down but not so long that the tangles get out of control (couple inches below shoulders and all the same length). My youngest has very straight, soft, thin blond hair which would never look good short because there is no curl or wave whatsover in it. She wears hers very long (almost waist length) with bangs.

My one 'thing' with the girls hair was always that it should be at LEAST long enough to stick in an elastic when we were in a rush until they were old enough to care for their own dos. LOL

I actually have a picture
I had 3 more but I think this is the best one..

You can't really see the amount of highlights I get/have but my hair turns almost blond in the summer.
The only problem with my hair I have is I have very bad split ends. You can probably see them in the picture.
I think I want to do something about them but what?

Do you have naturally straight hair?

Oh.....about split ends....

I ain't know this at first *shakes head in shame* but split ends mean that the ends are actually split, like there are two strands of hair on the ends of one strand. I was getting trims every 8 weeks for nothing because my hairdresser obviously didn't pay attention in school! Grrrrrrr.......

Anywayz, is that the case? If not, I would give the ends treatments, like special conditioners, hot oil, etc., and then see what happens.

As you can see, I hate trims. I REFUSE to get another until next year perhaps, if ever. I don't care how bad my hair looks. I had long hair when I was younger and I NEVER got trims them. I had my last on in August.

Yep. That's my hair after letting in air dry and brushing it once or twice in between.

I'm thinkiong it's just that my hair breaks off half way so i gets shorter hairs than the rest i think.
And a few slpit ends.
