*giggle* I want my newbie thread too

[Fab_Nikki]

My name is Nikki. I wanted to start my own "newbie thread" since I am all up here welcoming all the reformed lurkers and I am still a semi-lurker myself. I'd been lurking for quite some time and joined awhile ago. I am truly addicted already.

I am transitioning, with my last relaxer being November 2009. I don't ever want to go back to them either. I am still trying to get a regimen together but I am having a blast trying new products. Co-washing is the BESTEST (yes bestest) thing ever, on the weekends.

I just signed up for fotki yesterday and have some pics I'd like to share.
I have no idea what my hair type is, and I hope you ladies might be able to help me, once I post my pics. I look forward to talking and sharing my journey with you all.

LOL I am shy *not*. I think it was because I was still in limbo about what I wanted to do with my hair. I was a subscribed lurker too. LOL I paid to lurk for awhile. LOL Thank you for the welcome

Welcome!!!
Hows ur transition going and how long are you going for?

Thank you Whimsy! My transition is going ok. I did my first protected style (Sew-in with alittle hair left out) and after it was taken out I noticed my left side temple area is VERY THIN. So I am trying to baby those thin areas using Doo-Gro and oils (is that too much?)

At that same appointment I had the stylist cut more of my relaxed ends off (into a bob) but am now regretting it because I can't bun or do a decent bantu knot. I have started co-washing on the weekends and I LOOOOVE it. However during the week I am wearing it straight for work. I work in corporate america and I feel some kind of way about wearing a short ponytail everyday.

I have no set time for my transition. Everyday I feel like the next might be the end of my transition but I don't want to regret chopping too early. I have a round, chubby face so I am skeptical about a TWA on ME. So, today, tomorrow OR a year from now I might B.C. Any suggestions?

You can't ask me one question and get a short answer.
