I'm 11 weeks post relaxer - transitioning

[*Happily Me*]

I am soo loving my hair today!

I used to perm every 4 - 6 weeks without fail. This new growth feels kinda foreign, but nice. I keep touching it! The spiral, kinky, curly new growth feels just beautiful and I am loving it!

Thanks for the inspiration ladies! I know that I too can have long and healthy hair.

Congratulations D! You are an inspiration to those just starting out. I'm at almost 8 weeks and I have been struggling. Seeing you still on the path lets me know it will be alright

My last relaxer was around spring break (Late March?) At first I was loving it, but now its not so fun. I still want to get through it though, so I can't wait until June 6 when i get them braided. I plan to keep them braided for two months at a time, with two weeks apart. Hopefully I'll be shoulder length natural soon!

Nubian, you and I are in the same boat...down to the date (Last touch up was during my spring break 03/18/05) People suggested rollerset so I tried my old routine.....still had to comb it. Going to try buying smalling rollers and see how that goes.
What have you been trying?
Keep on keepin on!

D-

Keep it up girl, I'm right on your tail....going into my 11th week of transitioning also. I usually went 12 weeks between touch ups so I don't really feel like I'm "officially" transitioning even though I have new growth Isn't that crazy! I guess I'm just conditioned to deal with it until that 3 month marker so maybe in a couple of weeks I'll start to feel like I'm making progress. Although I'm having fun playing with new styles I just wish I could cornrow my own head...you wouldn't be able to tell me NOTHING!!!!

Take care, keep me posted on your progress...you too Ms!
