I can't believe it, but it has been 1 year since I last got a relaxer put in.
YEEHAW!
At 4 months post, I put in braids.
I took them out 3 and a half months later, and was left with tangles after I put conditioner in it overnight. Welp!
Anyway, I followed that up with crochet braids and have kept that up over the last 4 and a half months.
I would like to go another year without a relaxer but I'm not going to make any promises.
Instead, I'll take it one day at a time.
