Does Anyone Know About Brazilian Hair Treatments?

Let me stop and pray that this come out of my mouth the right way) (Lord, I come to you asking you, please dont let me put my foot in my mouth and if I do, please add some chocolate syrup so that at least it will taste good, amen...ok

Girl I know that was funny but sometimes I really do pray before responding. Folks can be sensitive.

LaVerne that was so sweet.   I can be sensitive at times but that doesn't bother me because you are trying to help me with love. My mom is basically 75% white and she would get a white folks perm on her hair but I always thought that I had nappy hair. I really don't know why I went natural 14 yrs ago. I guess I started reading books by black authors and I was trying to prove my "blackness" by having natural hair. That is a psychological problem, not a hair problem. I've been going to a beauty school because my beautician moved and I didn't trust people with my hair. I would basically get 4 inches trimmed from my hair twice a year and that's it. Now I find a good salon but now I'm out of touch with what to do with my hair.

Thank you for your research and kind response. Love ya LaVerne.

Neena, LaVerne just jogged something loose in my memory.
OK so I'm only half black but once I had a relaxer type product put on my hair that was formulated for white hair. It was much less harsh than a regular relaxer and didn't straighten my hair so much as it just relaxed the curl in it so it laid better. Might be something to think about.

A friend of mine has been using a texture softener and she really likes it.  It doesn't have chemicals in it and she finds it in the relaxer aisle at Wal-Mart.  It's made by "Just For Me"  Here is the picture:

Thank you, I could really use this. I have been natural since November, but I cut my hair really short in May or June I can not remember, but I need something to help tame some of my ultra tight curls... Thank you...

You're welcome!  Let me know how it works out.

As a stylist who has been in the biz for over 20 years and done research on this I would wait until it has been tested and tried... at least a year or so from now. Check out www. behind the chair .com under the forum section and read all about it!

Thanks for all of the advice. It's greatly appreciated.
