Ain't it funny

[curlilocs]

For the transitioners amongst us...

When you made your decision to transition did you notice a remarkable change in the way you looked at your new growth? I know two textures can be hard to deal with but I am just giddy with delight at all those waves I'm feeling at the roots! What was I thinking??? At any rate, I think it's funny how our views change about our hair when we change the direction to which we want to maintain it. What was once considered to be a pain is now a lovely thing...just had to vent

I agree. I was always intimidated to go natural but now I embrace it. I can't wait to be fully natural!!

I feel you even though I am relaxed. At 8 weeks post relaxer, I can't keep my hands out of my roots! I love the texture of my new growth, but I just prefer straight hair.

I used to think that way too, that's why I couldn't stop living the lye...pun intended...but i figure that I can flat iron every now and again and still get a temporary sleek straight look, but i always go back to curls. Besides the older I get the curlier my hair seems to be getting. It's getting harder and harder to relax my hair straight and I've tried super! It takes a lot of heat too! It loves water and will not hesitate to soak up any humidity in the atmosphere. I'm tired girl...can't fight it anymore!

My hair is getting bigger and bigger by the minute. I just hope it doesn't get any bigger.

Wow!! I was just thinking that... It is funny because now I love the look and feel of my new growth. It's amazing how things turn out when you adjust the way you look at things...All about perspective.

I know I changed the way I looked at my new growth. I remember when I used to relax my hair regularly, I never got to see my real hair texture weeks after relaxing my hair. In other words, the new growth would look the same as my relaxed hair except nappier. As I let it grow out, I was amazed at the tiny spirals I would see and feel in my hair. So I was so curious to see what I would look like with a head full of natural hair. Well, I couldnt take transitioning w/o the BC any longer so I just chopped all my relaxed hair off after 7 months.

I'm planning on transitioning for a year. I may do the BC soooner. I used to keep my hair really short but now that I have some length...and Iworked hard for that length...I'm not ready to let it go...and my head is so big , anywho, we shall see.......

At this point in the game I can flat iron it straight....down the road, who knows. I'm going to invest in a Solano Sapphire. I have a stylist in my home town who can get my hair BONE RELAXER STRAIGHT with that Sapphire, with 13 weeks of new growth!!! I was a stretcher! I have an appointment with him in June and I can hardly wait!
