2008 Transitioners: CHECK IN HERE!

[FindingMe]

I'm just over 4 months at 17 weeks...having no major issue yet...KNOCK ON WOOD Braid-outs are my best friend...I wear them in some form or fashion everyday

 

[Eisani]

I'm having withdrawals...this is exactly why I didn't want to give it an official title because I know me. As soon as that happens, I want to do the opposite. I really wanna texlax. BAD. Maybe just my edges/nape? Yo no se...

 

[Nuelle]

My last relaxer was on March 1st, which means that I'm about 21 weeks post. I don't know what I'm going to do once the semester starts.

 

[Napp]

almost 4 months. so far its good. i think if i transition for more than 10 months this time then I will be able to work and accept my hair better this time around. right now i feel my NG is so pretty. i wouldve never texted if i knew it would come out the way it did.

Checking in

Checkin in Next week will make a year and 4 months. I admit I'm tired of wearing a bun or half wig. If I can make it to the fall, I'll be good. I plan on wearing my hair straight once a month from October-April (rollerset/flat iron), then cutting the relaxed ends. I'll be 2 yrs at that point.

 

[douglala]

13 months!!!!!!!

The last few months have been HARD!!! But I've recently figured out my problem (hard water at my new 'home') so hopefully it gets better from here.

The hard water situation triggered some serious withdrawal symptoms. I think about relaxing weekly now.

Hi, I'm doing much better the last few weeks...I'm 28 weeks post...?Jan 08...Caramel Treatments and ayurveda products are making this much better for me...

 

[KnottyGurl]

22 weeks tomorrow

 

[Channie]

12 weeks post here.

Had I transitioned when I was supposed to, I'd be a year into this.

I don't know how long I'm transitioning for now. I did the BC 2 years ago and I'm trying not to go that route again... *le sigh*

 

[RENIBELL]

8 months into my transition, its been soo hard, had lots of brakage, cause i used lots of heat. hanging in there though, dont plan to big chop anytime soon

 

[BrooklynSouth]

No relaxer since March '08 but I refuse to count weeks just yet.....don't want to scare myself.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I'm in this one, but I don't know what I'm doing. I just know I have to get rid of my bonelaxed hair. I hope to transition for a long time this time because I do not want a twa. I am 4 weeks post right now.

You're going natural again? Or opting for texlaxed hair?

 

[Mwenye_Heri]

I am newbie and transitioning. I am 24 weeks post. But I don't know if I want to keep transitioning, do the big chop or what.

 

[aramaticart]

I'm 12 months post today! I haven't used any heat since December. I've been using half-wigs and sew-ins. Tomorrow, I'm getting my hair straightened as a little treat and to check my length.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Opting to texlax because my hair is too strait. I wish I could handle natural hair, but I can't. Texlax is the next best thing.
