Some pics of my relaxed/transitioning hair I found









^^This is my length check for the first quarter of this year

Thanks LHCF for all of your help and encouragement!! I think the hardest part for me was deciding when to transition. I tried once and got scared and relaxed...but i tried again and never looked back! Crazy part was....i had NO problem chopping it all off!

For my transition...braids, braidouts, ponytails and buns is what got me through. I didn't use any weave or wigs.

I am very happy about my decision and to every single person who helped me so far with my journey...THANK YOU SOOOOO much!!!

I have NO regrets with my decision and i am VERY happy with my hair!

Thanks again!

Thanks

It's freaking me out how fast its growing actually. Its like only a few months ago i wasnt able to do a ponytail at all and now i can. I can now put my twists into a ponytail! I'll be glad when all of the ones in the front fit in one tho I knew my hair grew fast but it seems like when i went natural it grows even faster!
