Beautiful! Your thread came right on time since I just chopped to shoulder length in preparation for my transition. Thanks so much for sharing. I plan to be a long term "transitioner" as well.

How often and how much did you trim during your transition?

glad i can help. 6 months in, i cut about 2-3 inches off. 1 year in, i cut another 2-3 inches off. then i cut 1 inch every month for the next 3 months. then i cut sparatically over the course of the next year until now, all natural!

Currently, I mostly cowash and bun. Thats it. I use Suave Almond and Shea Butter to cowash, GVP detangler as leave-in, and seal my ends with avocado butter. then I add some olive eco styler gel to the front and bun. I use a scarf to lay it down overnight. On weekends, I break from bunning. Now that I can wash and go, i cowash, use the same leave in, and then use the eco styler as the sole styler, skipping the avocado butter. I clarify when i feel build-up with ors creamy aloe shampoo and dc with gvp detangler and coconut oil. i think thats it.

beautiful...did you trim during the transition

This is so inspirational. I am all natural in the nape area of my head but still have relaxed ends on the sides, crown and front. I REFUSE to chop them off because I want as much growth as possible and plus if I do chop it off, my hair will have no shape. I wear mostly spirals and rod sets so the relaxed ends just blend in. My hair as never been this healthy and it is now almost shoulder length (in the back). I hadn't seen shoulder length since the year 2000!

Thanks for posting and I'll be checking out your fotki.
