Family Features: Healthy Relaxed Hair

You know those women who can do anything to their hair and it still retains length? They could probably set their hair on fire and have it survive. My aunt is one of those lucky women. When I visited her a few weeks ago, I took this picture of her hair.

Family Features: Healthy Relaxed Hair

My aunt has one of the thickest heads of hair I have ever seen.  She is Type 4 and relaxes her hair. Her hair is mostly thick/coarse type 4, except for her nape which has silky/fine strands. I should have taken a picture of the edges, because it shows that hair type is not always the same all over your head.

Her ends make me want to reach for the scissors and cut 5" LOL.

(ETA: I meant that her ends make me want to cut my hair..sorry for the confusion).
