Born 19**, as a natural, my mom was able maintain that until I reached the age of 3 years old. That was when I got my first relaxer.
Well, back in the day, relaxers didn't take to my hair very well, so my mom would also get my hair pressed. The was a wasted effort, cause I would sweat the style out by the time I got home.
The continued until the age of 10 or 11, when I joined a swim team. Since I was swimming every day there was no point in having relaxers or getting my hair done. It was a total disaster, soooo I cut it all off. My first TWA.
I maintained my TWA until the 10th grade. By then, I fell under the influence of peer pressure and started getting my hair relaxed once again. This continued until 1995 when I got married.
I transitioned from relaxed hair to a relaxed mind. I wore braids for about a year (or a weave), then I found a stylist who could not only do some fierce flat twists (into a faketwist bun) but who could also press myt hair without burning the mess out of my scalp.
She did my hair for almost two years. THEN - she moved out of state and I had to start my search again.
