It all became too much

And so I decided to take matters into my own hands.





I cut off most of the the relaxed ends from the back of my hair. It was fairly difficult, as I was doing it mainly by touch; I did stop short of cutting all of the relaxed hair, although I was very tempted.

I'm not sure of how much of a visual difference it has made, as the ends from the centre and top of my had seem to cover the area that I trimmed. Still, I feel better and that's what matters, right?

Issues

I had my hair tightened yesterday and my hairdresser immediately noticed the little (big to me) problem that has been getting worse lately. My hair has started to bunch a lot at the back; I have done my best to try and straighten them out especially after washing, but it would seem to no avail. So as she tightened she grappled with the mess at the ends and said she would cut the rest of the relaxer out at my next appointment. I don't have this issue at the sides or the front, so I'm guessing it's because the texture of my hair is different at the back. I tried to take a picture to make my troubles clearer but it's not so good! I know lots of you have had similar problems so I will be going through your archives with a fine toothed comb...
