And today ain't one of those days when I will.
But, I do have some pics of my new growth. This is my fourth transition. As you all know, I tend to punk out when the going gets tough. This time around, I'm going for it. If I don't make it, you all are apt to permanently banning me from looking at natural fotkis, threads, websites, whatever. I'm not going through this again.
I 've been using Mega-Tek for quite some time(I think I started in late July). I trimmed my hair myself and started wearing wigs, braids and weaves to get through the hot summers. What a lifesaver, might I add! I've gotten so much growth and I don't have to spend so much time with rollers.
I usually rub mega-tek between the parts in the braids twice a day for at least 3 days a week. I try to take my Iron pills as often as possible to stop the shedding (I am an Iron-deficient Anemic).
I'm still in love with BT Grease. I'm going to purchase another bottle since the winter cold is coming in and I know it will keep my hair moisturizes. Nonetheless, this winter I am double-teaming my scalp with Mega-Tek and BT.
I want to straightening my hair January 10 (my b-day) with a pressing session or blowout/flat-iron. By this time, I would've been transitioning for over 6 mos. and it will be do-or-die for me. I'm going to finally decide on this day if natural is the way to go or go back to relaxing.
There are a couple of people I want to thank. Lavendar really inspired me with her relaxed hair. She's pretty much achieved my desired look, as far as thickness and shine.
Ediese: Your tread on the weaves dos and don'ts seemed rudimentary to some, but unfortunately.... I didn't know about the detangling the hair before getting it wet. I have a serious problem with knots and breakage. In fact, I have lost so much hair off my nape because of it. I started detangling with a brush before wash day and using a comb or brush on my sopping wet hair. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
