Hey, I'm new to the forum, but i've been wanting to do grow my hair long for a while, but a specific way though.

I'm half black (hatian) and half spanish (chile). My mom has wavy hair because she's on the spanish side, but my dad is hatian. When I grow my hair out, my hair usually grows into an afro, but it's more of a mixed afro not to corse but it's usually pretty curly. I was wondering what is the recommended length I should grow my hair out before thinking about relaxing it so it can be big curly instead of fro like.

I want it to curl something like this

or

one of the two, but notice the size of the curls.

As of right now, ive grown my hair up to 2 inches but, i was wondering what would be a good length to relax to get something like the two pictures.


thanks for any input.

ok the 2 inch growth you speak of is that the curl when it stretch or in regular curl form im going to assume it is in curl form.

i saw the pics ,they have nice curls ,you may not want to straighten your hair  to achieve this look,you will want to textured it ,meaning leaving the relaxer on for 3 to 5 mins

as far as the length ,your on your way there, the hair in those pics look to be about 6 to 7 inches long in curl form

so keep up the good work of growing out your hair, hair tends to grow about a 1/2 inch per month so you dont haveClap long now.
