Im growing my permed/relaxed hair back into its natural state. Anything tips?

I was (forced) to chemically straighten my hair 2 years ago and Im not pleased. I graduate June 2011 and Im planning stop relaxing it then. I dont want to cut it and I dont want tons of breakage. I NEED GUIDIANCE! If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share =]]

Well I would say it seems like you want to transition to natural over a long period of time.

I would recommend if you havent already, stop using heat on your hair: blow dryers, flat irons, and etc.

Next, find support either online, or build a support group.

hope this helps.
I agree with everything Genoa said. Lessin' on the heat. Make sure you keep you hair conditioned and I'd recommend trying to find a stylist to help you trim the permed ends off little by little. Deep conditioning and/or Hot oil treatments. Keep us updated on what you're going through.

You should go to youtube and find video tutorials about "transitioning". We could give you a bunch of tips but you really need styling ideas and SEEING how women do things is the best advice of all.
