I have had relaxed hair for as long as I can remember and I know growing up my hair was definitely not amazing, one of my earliest bad hair memories was in primary school..
I had a friend who had extremely long shiny hair (can't remember if it was relaxed) and everyday I used to eye her Locks, so after beefing for like forever, I decided that I too wanted shiny hair. So when I got back from school that day I took a bottle of baby oil and literally dumped the whole thing in my hair, the results weren't pretty not only was my hair an "un-shiny" mess but my mother showed me how unhappy she was with my experiment when she came home...
