soo...this is my hair now. i BC'd november 1st.
it was kinda rounded off though from wearing my scarf, so it looks shorter than it actually is.
Gorgeous, gorgeous hair! You look great!
Lucie, girl, you're so brave, but your hair looks gorgeous!

Hey lady! We're looking forward to having you here. When you're ready, you'll know it. You may have doubts and fears about what's to come after the BC, but when you're ready to make that leap, you'll know it deep within. Good luck!

I was too inspired, too curious, to sick of looking busted, I bc:ed earlier than planned. Unfortuantely the busted didn't go away quite as I had expected.
Before: WnG on transitioning hair 1-2 weeks prior
Bc:ed done. Dry hair.
Dry hair fluffed:
The busted part:
My top has NO curls.
It has a compact, shocked, doing-nothing texture.
I really don't know what to do with it.
It just kind of sits there.
I really should get it cut but I trust no one here in Stockholm with curly hair so I have to wait until I can get to London, NYC or Ca.
I'm happy, really happy that I bc:ed but I'm dissapointed in the lack of curls on top.
Trusted ponytail is in effect until further notice.
I just ordered som KCCC and am hoping for a miracle..

Nina! I left you some comments on your FOTKI as well
My hair does the same thing. I have a definite lack of curls/coils in the canopy. The hair underneath coils beautifully in opposition. I found that braidouts work the best for me to unify the curl pattern so that everything kind of matches 
Also, it does get better I think the longer your hair gets. When I first shingled my hair, I was like "I am not going to like the top..." but it actually has gotten better as I've gotten more length.Click pics to see larger:
See, it used to kinda lay flat when I first BC'd:
Now it still kinda lays flat, but with more length, I have more fullness, so it works fine:
I also discovered that the wavy kinks were great for bangs which i am in
with right about now....

Hello ladies. I am so EXCITED to be joining you!! I've lurked in this thread for so long and now I can finally post. I transitioned for about 8 and a half months and bc'd 2 days ago. I have a bc thread but I plan to post more pics in here this weekend.
So proud to be a part of this group.

Hey everybody. I have finally straightned my hair to see how long it actually. It's been growing since august of 2009. So here it is...
Great job lady! Great length! I'd love to straighten my hair as well, but I'm so afraid of heat damage. I'll work up the nerve one day.
Congrats on your BC lady! I'll have to go check out your thread. How are you liking it so far?
When are you thinking of doing your BC? I can't wait to have you here!

My hair was the same. It looked kinky straight and then it formed really loose waves sometimes. But once I settled into being natural it started to come around. It's like it was in shock for the first few weeks lol.
Protein treatments help reinforce the texture, but use with caution until you know if you hair is protein sensitive or not.
For my wash n goes, plopping really helped bring out the texture. Braid outs and twist outs on the crown as FM suggested are good too.

Thank you for the advice.
I have been using AO GBP. I tryed KCCC and I did actually get some kind of curls on top but I'm still a flathead. I liked KCCC but my hair felt to coated and hard. I'm usually a coconut oil and go person so it'll take getting used to. I'm style challenged but tryed a twistout and ended up looking like Buckwheat.
Once this hard winter is over I'm going to experiment with more procedures.
I am so loving my natural texture and can't keep my hands outta my head.

Welcome lady! Congrats on your BC! How are you enjoying it so far?

I am LOVING IT!!! My hair is weird though. Very front and top middle has no curl pattern that I can see. Its more or less straight
erplexed. I don't thinks its heat damage because I only blow dried/flat ironed once during my transition and my hair reverted nicely after that. I'm hoping with some deep conditioning it will work itself out. Welcome Mahogany66!!!!

I have the exact same curl pattern up front. I wonder why this is so common. I can see it getting curlier as it grows though, so that's better. I'm so glad you're loving it! Keep us updated!

I'm so glad to hear that yours is getting curlier. You know you're right, I do hear a lot of people saying they have this same problem. That is so odd.

Hey Ladies!! I haven't posted in here for a while so I thought I'd give you some updates. First I'm a little past my 1 year anniversay (March 15--yeah!!) so I took my braids out (from my braid challenge) and will straighten tonight. But I wanted to post some pics of what my hair looks like now with all my braids taken out.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
