For Megan "Megz" Lytle,getting off relaxers has been a "hair journey." The spunky beauty vlogger has been relaxing her natural texture for years but recently decided she wanted to embrace the hair she was born with. "I've been relaxing it ever since I was 15," says Megan. "I was like, or 'Wait,I want to wear my hair straight all the time! I don't want to flat-iron it!'" Megan explained who influenced her to accumulate her hair relaxed, saying, or "My family,they're from the South. They're the older generation. They're used to pressing out. So they kind of looked at it as whether your hair isn't curled or straightened, your hair isn't 'done.'" This started her relationship with relaxers, and a treatment she said she thought was "taking care of her hair." Now,Megan has decided to go relaxer-free in an effort to embrace her natural hair texture. "I haven't had a relaxer since January 2016! I have a mini 'fro right now under my protective style. It's a wig. When you're transitioning, you can't manipulate your hair because you have two different textures. So I have curly girl hair . . . and then straight hair. I can't manipulate too much into it because it will crash off, or " says Megan.
