What do you think?

To relax our not to relax? that is the real question. I often find that some parents get very frustrated with their child's curly or overly curly hair and don't really know what to do with it. They think that relaxing their child hair is an easy fix to their problem of not knowing what to do, or how to care for their child's natural hair. I for one, can say that a relaxer is not always the answer. In my own opinion, relaxers actually do more damage to the hair. The hair seems to be harder and more brittle over time. Once you get a relaxer you have to stay up on it, otherwise you will have 2 contrasting textures when new growth comes in, which will only lead to breakage. It will become easier to care for natural hair if you do a trial and error period. Find out what works verses what does not work and keep your child's hair moisturized and conditioned....daily. Soo curly vs. straight, I say keep the curly. It's more versitile which equals more styles which equals creativity. What do you think?
