I remember when I received my first relaxer, I was about 8 years old. I was so flattered with my hair! It seem two times as longer, straight was great to me! Over the years that greatness (that I once had begin to) deteriorated. My hair became damaged and flattened from relaxers. I tried several times to transition to natural but I seemed to always give in to “the Creamy Crack”. It was addictive as the substance it was compared to. I could not manage the two textures of natural hair and relaxed hair while transitioning, the only way out was to have the “Big Chop.” A “Big Chop” is when you cut all of your relaxed hair… and I had a very low cut. Returning back to “ my natural roots” is the best thing I’ve done so
