Originally I was trying to not relax while pregnant so I was wigging it and now I'm in a weave. With it being hidden it doesn't bother me. But I want to wear my own hair again and my SO wants to see it too so I'm ending the stretch earlier. Hopefully I'm at the length I want to be or I will continue to stretch and trim as I go. After this my stretches will not go past 4 months because the amount of new growth will be easier to handle.
I hope this relaxer is all that we hope it to be. I didn't know they had one for fine/medium hair. I need that too!

oh i see. i remember i went natural while being pregnant. braids braids all along. i gave birth and big chopped a month after giving birth. hubby did my bc lol.

ive got new growth and i hope i wont mess up my relaxer in april. i might do the half and half method. and do twists with clips.

concerning the ors, yup i guess its just normal but it says for fine to medium hair :

Yeah I bc'd the first time and hated it! Lol! This time is not so bad but I'm ok with relaxing. I will have braids for giving birth tho! I have seen that relaxer before! The twists with clips method is awesome! Its a little more difficult with shorter hair but I love it!
 
Y'all make me feel like a loser for relaxer but I refuse to do any long term styling and the increased growth caught up to me at once. I was like :nono: I cannot do this. I could have held out for 4 more weeks, but between no energy to rollerset and no energy to air dry, something had to give. Y'all know I keep a stash handy, so I just threw the towel in.

I think I can make it til July without another relaxer though.

No honey! If I didn't already buy my hair for this sew in I would have been relaxed. I ran out of supplies so I said poot it lets do this sew in. Can you imagine what its going to be like trying to relax at 10months post!? Ridiculous!

Cattypus1, I like it! How far are you into transitioning now? Your hair is so smooth and shiny.

Thank you, I'm 32 weeks post. I had my first Chi Enviro professionally done 3 months ago and I did another Chi treatment myself about 6 & 1/2 weeks ago. Chi is my friend. I wish I had done it earlier but I was kind of iffy about transitioning. I didn't think I could live without a relaxer.
 
Happy birthday to my e-sister Nix08!!!

I may try the design essentials treatment one day. Right now I am working on putting some Senegalese twists in my hair. This is my first doing something like this.

i will let my SIL know about that. she is looking into that DE treatment soon.

yeah i decided to give it a go. i was asking around for prices and just couldn't part with the money. i really pumped myself up to do them myself. so far, so good!

i had a pack of braiding hair laying around, so i decided to practice. i did several on the most difficult parts of my hair to see if i could get the hang of it. i also tried the twist in method. i didn't feel they were secure enough, so i decided to braid the hair in first, then start twisting. i forgot the name of the hair i used, but it was $1.99 a pack. i wanted the $5.99 pack, but they were out of the color i wanted. the hair tangles a bit, so next time i will search around for the more expensive kanekalon hair.

i take a lot of breaks, since i got the kids. i do it in the bathroom, since i need to really see what is going on.

Thank you so much! If I could I would! I just got out the hospital today. That is why I had to make sure my hair was done. I knew I would be down for awhile. I had my gallbladder removed.
