I've been looking around and talking to different people about who could do my BC. I've even looked at shops in DC and MD. And then I thought, "One of the faculty members here recently cut off her relaxed ends and her hair texture is probably similar to mine." And so I called this morning to ask her who cut her hair. She responded, "Me." I'm so relieved and excited. My search is over. I asked her if she would be willing to cut mine and she said sure. She's going out of town this weekend, so I told her that I would probably touch base with her next week. I'm still trying to make sure that I am ready, but the truth is probably that I'll never be all the way ready. I'll always be a little nervous, apprehensive, anxious. However, one thing is absolute and that is...I do not plan to relax my hair again.
I never thought about the toxins and chemicals involved. This is a good article on the issue.
