Girl, your hair is FIERCE! What an inspiring hair transformation. This is what I needed to see today to keep me going on my transitioning healthy hair journey. :spinning::spinning::spinning:

If I can pick your brain; do you remember what your regimen was during the beginning of your transitioning period?? And how long did it take you to get from nl to sl?? TIA

Thank you :grin: For the first six months of my transition I was intending to stretch for 6 months and blow dried and flat ironed my hair every week. After chickening out of the relaxer i decided to slowly cut out the heat; for the next 6 months I blow dried every week. During the first 2 years of my transition i was very consistent with the six weeks in braids and 6 weeks out. When my hair was out it was always in buns. I didn't attempt to air dry until i had more natural hair than relaxed.

It took 6 months to get from nl to sl. Then a year from so to APL.

Thank you so much for answering my question. That's what I was thinking as well, 6 months. :grin:
 
Hubba, hubba, the pic with the side braid - I wanna "feel up" your puff! LOL. Beautiful hair, great growth.
 
@nissi When I straightened my hair this time I pre-pooed, washed and DC'd as normal, except I used a clarifying shampoo. I then sprayed joico kpak liquid reconstructor in my hair then did the usual of putting my hair into 8 detangled twists; I also put a drop of joico kpak hair serum on each section before twisting.

I left my hair to dry a little for a couple of hours then blow dried each section individually and retwisted. I than flat ironed each section using the comb chase method and a babyliss pro 230 steam straightener. Keeping my hair in twists throughout the process has really prevented tangles and a painful blowdry.

I am speechless. Just gorgeous. This is what I call a complete transformation.
