It is about time I have a hair post.
I have not had a permanent relaxed hairstyle in about ten years. My final relaxer appointment was in November of 1999. I started my journey with roller sets. I graduated to single strand twists. For a few years, I enjoyed double strand twists. Those became too expensive to maintain while I searched for a house and I moved to the afro-puff. My hair broke off after a bad coloring job (professional) and I maintained the afro-puff for a few years. Now, I am exploring flat ironed hair in the winter and double strand twists in the summer. I am having a ball. I don't know what I will do with my hair next and I love the flexibility.
I referenced several books back in 1999 before I made this decision.

| No LyeThe book just reaffirmed my decision. |
I know longer have any of these books. I have given them all away to people who wanted to explore life after the relaxer.
BTW it is a little creepy that Amazon.com has my ordering history cataloging that far back.

I would not suggest investing a lot into these types of books. The books tend to chronicle the experiences of the author and the author's friends. The advice is not always the best and the product recommendations should be taken as a suggestions.
More later.
From 1997 to 2010.
Hmm, the slideshow is not here.
