Thanks for answering!  Sounds like what you're doing is working for you.  I was just curious about what your end objective.  Congrats on your 1 yr anniversity.  ]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:30:17 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041710.html#10041710 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041666.html#10041666 Author: PRnena

I just want. Long healthy hair. I've gone natural before in 2009 but bleached and shaved it. Last january I big chopped. Then in august I texlaxed but I really don't think it made too much of a difference. I used a 'hair softener' lol. Idk when I'm 'softening' again. But my hair is still really really curly and I most def have a fro. I will post pics at the end of the month. Marking my one year! :D]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:11:01 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041666.html#10041666 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041642.html#10041642 Author: LovilyLocs

PRnena, is your goal to go all natural or are you just trying to stay away from relaxers?  The trim does sound like the way to go.]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:04:50 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041642.html#10041642 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041245.html#10041245 Author: PRnena

I love my texlaxed hair. I did a protien treatment. I found out that I had teeny split ends. I mean teeny. Other than that u can't really tell the difference btween my texlaxed and natural. I barely left the texturizer on long. I'm not transitioning. I think I will texlax again.   I guess I will trim when I get it profesionally straightened. :P]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 09:34:00 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041245.html#10041245 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041209.html#10041209 Author: babyk94

I'm also in the same boat PR how do you feel about your texlaxed hair? I hated mine]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 09:04:53 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041209.html#10041209 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041119.html#10041119 Author: Kocoa

Whenever I see little bits of breakage, it usually means it's time for a protein tx. However, if you are transitioning and on your way to natural, this is pretty normal. My guess is it's happening right at the most vulnerable point too - the juncture between chemically altered and natural hair. If you think it's too soon to cut off the texlaxed ends, you could always keep it in a PS or roller set to minimize the breakage.

As a rule, I usually get my hair trimmed at least once a yr just to get rid of the ratty ends. I generally get my hair trimmed at a salon but that's because I don't trust myself to not jack up my own hair, lol.]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2013 05:48:17 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10041119.html#10041119 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/little-pieces-breaking-off_topic352779_post10039885.html#10039885 Author: PRnena

I'm half texlaxed and half natural. I'm finding little 1/4 inch pieces are breaking off from my ends. Is it time for a trim. I've been on my journey 11 months and haven't trimmed yet. Would it be safe for me to wait til next month to trim? And would it be better to do it myself or get it done at a salon.
