I am currently growing my relaxer out. My last relaxer was May of 06. I currently get my hair straightened with a blowdryer and flat iron by my hair dresser every two weeks. I am debating going back to having a relaxer because my hair seemed like it was more versatile then because my "edges" go back curly within 3-4 days. I don't want to cut my hair and wear a short natural, but I don't know of any natural hair styles for longer hair. My natural hair is about 8-10 inches long. My texture is 4A. Any suggestions?

Since you already have 8-10 inches of natural hair, you could probably cut it now and go all natural. It should be long enough to at least put into a ponytail.
There are a number of styles that you can do with longer hair. Because your hair is a little curlier than 4b, you probably but a good pomade or setting lotion on after washing your hair, and get a nice curly look. You can do twists, and style them in various way, just as you would box braids. You can do flat twists, cornrows, and ponytails. I'd start with the basic 2 strand twist, and explore that option, and go from there. A couple of great websites for natural hair are www.napturalglory.com, www.nappturality.com, and www.blackhairmedia.com Good luck!!

well, it depends on how long you keep the relaxer in before washing it out. and it also doesn't work if you don't get the edges or all of your hair really well. it also depends on which kind of relaxer that you use. i use the kind that looks like a gray tub with a maroon lid. red velvet

grow your hair natural because when u relax it it takes too much care. if your going somewhere special then u flat iron it. but if is a normal day then u could braid it, put in corn rows, buns, or maybe even puffs
