BC Thread Tracker!!

[CurlyCoilycourt]

Since this seems to be the season of the Big Chop especially this month I think a support/tracker thread is cool

No rules necessarily just start off by stating your BC date and any other information (Hair type, how long you transitioned, products that works, maybe a picture) etc.....

ANY AND EVERYONE IS WELCOMED TO JOIN!!!!

Also check maybe every 3 months with progress and updates on your hair!!!!!

HHG Ladies!!

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

I would like in...It would be great to share this journey!

I did the BC on 21 July after a 8 1/2 month transition

I'm still playing with products...right now I co-wash with suave coconut and then use giovanni direct leave in and then top it off with some coconut oil. I have a bunch of stuff I want to try, just trying to do one thing at a time.

If I had to guess hair type, I would say 4A/B

Latest pic is my sig

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

My BC is scheduled for Aug 15!!! Cant wait! My last relaxer was Jan so about 8 months or so..

My hair type is a mix of 3C/4a..

Products: Well I am planning trying KCC as soon as I can get ahold of a sample! I bought a sample of Miss jessie and it didnt do anything for me and my hair was hard afterwards. I started co washing a while ago and my hair loved, so it definitely something i am going to keep doing. As soon as I get my hair cut I will post pics.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

BC date: July 28th, 2009
Transition time: almost 6 months, about 1 week shy of 6 months
Hair type: Not to sure, but thinking 3c/4a, mostly 4a but 3 c around the crown??
Products: I want to start using natural products and more homemade products. I have bought an assortment of butters (shea, cocoa, mango, avocado, kokum...) want to see what my hair likes, and a bunch of oils too. going to experiment. I also want to try some sort of curly pudding...most likely KCC because they use more natural ingredients

Products: I'm still experimenting with my newly natural texture. Im so excited I didnt realize that my natural hair was so soft and coily! My mom was surprised also

This is a pic of my hair after being washed and airdried. I combed it out so thats why its so straight. I dunno if im comfortable wearing my hair out yet cuz I look like a cubby faced lil boy. So I have my hair in cornrows at the moment and Im sportin a lacefront wig.

I'm about to go search the forum for tips/ ideas/ product suggestions/ inspiration/ etc for naturals

Haha, don't worry. I have no idea what the heck I'm doing either. We can all learn together I haven't worn my hair out in public yet either. I guess I'm just being shy/self-conscious.

Re: JULY BC Thread Tracker!!

What have you all been doing with your hair since the BC?

Have you been wearing it out?

If you rocked it, what type of responses and comments did you receive?

The first day after I went to work in a wig because it needed to be evened up but after that I wore it out. Most folk were very receptive but I can sense some people giving me the side eye trying to figure out what in the world did I do.

I have actually felt very confident with it and I love it...still trying to come up with style ideas...please share yours as well.
