My mom is conditioned to think relaxed hair is better than natural. Three of her sisters (my aunts) have natural hair they never relaxed or colored in their life. My mom's hair has suffered during the past couple of years due to relaxing and using metal clips as pony tail holders. She still won't realize how damaging the chemicals are to her hair. When I was doing my first transition this year before I relaxed in April, she was so heated when I said I was going to BC. She begged me every day to get a relaxer. I think my mom's hair texture and mine shouldn't even be relaxed in the first place. My dad actually wishes we go natural because our hair was beautiful in its natural state
