Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

I killed the rests of perm hair i had in my ends .. so im ready to not trim untill January the 1 or beyonf ... i jut want to take good care of my ends so they look pretty nice. Any suggestions?

My main thing is to moisturize..i noticed that i do have some scab hair on the ends due to the transition from relaxed to natural so its fuzzy or curls differently!!!

I had the same thing. You couldn't really tell from the pics, but I could tell in working with it every day, so I cut it I kept cutting until I felt like I had most of it off...

Short of trimming those ends off, I dunno what to do for them

I think I've heard of folks doing this before...whole head, i mean I think i read they do it overnight and just wrap the whole head in a plastic cap covered by a silk scarf and went to sleep...

I went through the same thing when I BC'd and now that I'm transitioning again, its the same way. Soft right after water gets on it but once it dries, its hard hard hard. Now if I do twists or any other real style to my hair, my hair is soft all the time. Its really weird....I do DC treatments, cowashing, moisturizing & vinegar rinses. I'm just accepting this as the texture of my hair when dry

Thanks! I did the CurlyNikki as well pretty much my whole transition!

When your hair is fully transitioned, you will LOVE the fact that you can just coil the ends of your twists with your fingers and you don't need perm rods or anything. Plus my hair is MUCH softer and shinier when I dry in twists than a WnG

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

Hey I guess I'll join this forum too since I'm on the line at June 30th

I BCed on June 30th.
I just cowash every 3 days to every other day & DC 2 times a week natural,
MN Mix, lots of vits and water, I just started doing the indian mixes.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

I do the baggie over my whole head at night in the morning I put coconut oil and then add another sealing like EVOO or S curl... soft all day long!

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

I have done the whole head baggy overnight and it was great for my WNG the next day. I find I can keep my moisture level up more if I alternate stretched styles with loose styles and making sure my protein/moisture is balanced. I know some ppl believe naturals don't need protein, but I have found that it really helps my hair. Also my hair needed to rest once the BC since the relaxed hair was an added stress to my natural hair.

I tried a new style this week in an effort to keep doing stretched styles. Also I'm worried that wearing my hair off face with head bands and such that I was going to damage my hair by having it rubbed by this same area over and over. So I did flat twist (my fave) with twists on the ends and in the back. I'm going to rock a twist out tonight at the Philly Meet Up grin:). I'll take photos and post them in my Fotki this weekend.

Thanks! I think my hair likes protein, too. I did a cholesterol BC and my hair was smooth afterwards...That's also a GREAT point about the stress of the relaxed hair as I know my hair was heavy and BSL, so I think my hair needs to rest now that I have cut it

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

Girl, I know I should've, but I'd definitely have to cut a inch off all over, and I don't know what that would look like on me...lol. I'll grow some more hair, and then chop off that inch. It'll be easier to deal with.

I've been rocking this twist out since Sunday. It lasted great for two days, but last night I had to retwist in big twists, and it came out great today. I took pics. I'll update my siggy soon.
