How long did you transition before you BC'd?

[Honey-Dip]

Hi ladies, I am a newbie and I have been transitioning for 7 months now. I am thinking of doing the BC after one year. What did you do? Please share pics if you have some! Thanks!!!!

 

[Kurly K]

i only transitioned for 6 months and then i bc...lots of pics in fotki no pw needed

I transitioned for about 3 months.

I cut about 3 inches off back in February 08 . If you chop now, you're going to have enough hair to have various styles. The first couple months, the only style I was able to do was finger coils.

5 months!

11 months, I couldn't even make it to a full year *smh*

pics are in my fotki

I guess I shouldn't be answering this question since I haven't BCed yet or ever plan to. I don't know the exact date that I stopped relaxing (prehair boards), but I think it's going on two years and I'm still transitioning.

About six months but more like 5 1/2. I had 3 inches of new growth when I did chop. Pics in fotki.

14 months. My plan was to transition for 18 months, but for the health of my hair, I chopped early.

 

[1QTPie]

I didn't. I went my usual 4-5 months between relaxer touchups. Only instead of relaxing, I cut it off. I had a good 4 inches of growth, I cut it down to 2.

12 months...but idk the exact date of my last relaxer, i just know it was june 07

 

[productjunkie814]

I wanted to wait at least 6 months, but I couldn't do it and chopped after 3 months. Password in profileerplexed

4 months...pic in siggy and fotki.

I have been transitioning for 14 months. My last relaxer was April 17 2007
My plan is to transition for 2 years but that is starting to look like an unrealistic goal.

With the help of Denver Girl, I plan to make it all the way to December 2008.
Then it will be time to re-evaluate and possibly chop.

My photos are in my album.

Do you have any hair photos to post? I'd love to see your hair.

 

[DMJ's Mom]

I transitioned for 4 months give or take a couple weeks

 

[Ebony Majesty]

eighteen months
wish I did the BC earlier

 

[LadyEuphoria007]

I cut after about 5 to 6 months.

Then I cut again after the first month.

Then again after the second month.


I'm not cutting anymore!

 

[TaraDyan]

I'll be chopping in September ... which will make it an 18-month transition for me.

 

[adf23]

Chopping in April- will make 2 yrs!

 

[Honey-Dip]

Bumping for more responses please.

 

[SouthernTease]

I'm still transitioning... 17 Months...
I want length first... so no BC anytime soon.

Beautiful hair ST....you'll do an end trim eventually{?}..did you trim all along?

13 months, but the original plan was 18 months. I did one mini chop for some raggedy thin relaxed ends about 6 months post. I have the pics in my fotki

 

[DozenRoses99]

I transitioned for 22.5 months. I wanted to wait 2 years exactly, but I didn't see the point of holding onto the few relaxed ends that I had any longer (I did mini-chops every couple of months to slowly build up to the BC and also it was easier to maintain).

My fotki is in my profile
