Is it true if I stop getting relaxers in my hair, my hair will break off? I don't want to relax it anymore?

I've been getting relaxers for a while, but I heard the only way to get it out is to cut ur hair and start over...is this true? Or can I just stop?Is it true if I stop getting relaxers in my hair, my hair will break off? I don't want to relax it anymore?
Your new growth is the strongest part of your hair, so your relaxed ends will break off at the new growth if you don't take care of your hair or manipulate it too much. SO, yes, your hair can break off at the new growth if you stop relaxing.





Now, relaxers are permanent. The hair you relax will never revert to your natural hair. If you want to go natural then you have to stop relaxing and eventually cut off all the relaxed hair. You don't have to cut it off all at once - you can grow it out and trim your hair little-by-little until all the relaxed hair is gone (That's called transitioning). Or, you can just go ahead and cut off your hair at the new growth (that's called the BC).





There's a lot of information about transitioning to natural over the Internet via websites, youtube, and message boards.

You do not have to cut off all your hair you can grow it out and get it trimed. It will be more likely to break but if you take proper care of it your hair will be fine.





Transitioning from relaxed to natural? How long it'll take depends on your hair's length and condition.





What's the best way to transition your hair?





Going back to natural: If you're willing to get a short cut, you'll cut a lot of time off the transition period but you do not have to cut your hair. Keep in mind, as your natural hair grows out, there will be stress on the line of demarcation, which is the point where the natural curl that's growing out meets the relaxed hair. What's essential: Mist hair with water to determine the line of demarcation between natural roots and relaxed hair. Never put stress on the line of demarcation!


If your relaxed hair is damaged, consider a loose weave, braids or twist when transitioning





To minimize the stress:


*Keep hair well-moisturized


Don't use excessive heat to straighten the natural hair,do not use lots of heat to straighten natural curl to try and match relaxed hair. Ask your hairdresser to give you a style that makes the two textures look more similar, like braids, two-strand twists or a straw set. They can make the two textures look similar, while hair grows out


Treat your hair gently, don't pull and tug on it or rub too vigorously with a towel when you dry it. Gently blot-dry your hair, use Leave-In Conditioner and comb very gently, using a wide-toothed comb and working from the ends up in small increments. Deep condition every time you shampoo. Keep hair well moisturized and use a moisturizer ( I like Motions Hair and Scalp Daily Moisturizing Hairdressing) before and after styling.Use hard plastic rollers; spongy ones absorb moisture from your hair. Always use a wide-toothed comb and soft brush to reduce breakage. If your hair does break ask your stylist for options, including one of the new short cuts





Try Motions and Aphogee products they are the best when transitioning.
Stop using then and let your hair grow out. U've only used the relaxer on the part of your hair you had. unfortunatley, you have to wait.





Trim off little by little if you don't want to go bald or very short...
