All Natural, no BC

[Coffee]

I transitioned for about 19 months without BC'ing. I figured out I am between a 3c - 4a. Now, I have no idea what to do with my hair. Before whenever I went natural, I wore it in a short cut, just wash n go.

Hairtype isn't as important as texture and density. What's your current regimen? And congrats on becoming a newly natural.

1st Rule as a natural: MOISTURE! Stack up on conditioners, conditioners, and more conditioners.

Hey OliveOil, I'm not concerned about hair type, I just never knew what it was until recently . This isn't my first time being natural, probably my 5th.

I co-wash 2 x per week with whatever conditioner I pick u, use a lite protein each time. Steam with whatever mask I pick up, use Lee Stafford Hair Growth Trmt and then Ovation on my scalp. I use a leave in w/oil and air dry. I clarifly 1 x per month.

I henna whenever needed.

pelohello, I haven't tried anything....yet. I just always kept it in a pony tail and kept it covered with a snack baggie. If I went out, I just wore a wig.

Looking good, lots of hair to play with! Have you tried bunning? I'm style challenged, so I either wash n go or bun my hair, every few months I straighten for about a week. Hopefully you have more skills than I do, LOL.

MyangelEyez, my hair has just recently grow out the rest of my relaxed hair, so I haven't had the time to think about anything. I would like to try twists for a bit. I'll just have to do some searching .

Had no idea you were transitioning!

I ain't even gonna come in here asking if you have conditioners you like

 

[Glamorous_chic]

hi, just wanted to know how did you grow out your relaxer without having to cut off the relaxed ends? did you just gradually trim until the relaxer was finally cut out? i transitioned for ~22 months and still had a significant amount of hair i had to cut when i went for my bc. just curious. and congrats!!

Congrats Coffee! I can't see the pic...but I kinda feel like you...once I went natural I had no idea what to do with my hair (once I stopped heat styling). I'm finally starting to figure it out.
