Re: I\'m thinking about transitioning W/O the Big C
My hair was shoulder length. I transitioned for a year. I mostly kept my hair in braids and roller sets. Occasionally, I would press the new growth and wear a wrap. I finally got tired of dealing with the two textures and did the big chop about two weeks ago. I have about 5 -7 inches of hair, which makes for a nice 'fro.
I washed and deep condtioned my hair weekly. Here are some of the products that I used:
Biosilk hydrating shampoo, conditioner, and silk therapy
Silk Elements shampoo, conditioner, mega cholesterol treatment, glossing polish
Fantasia IC leave-in aloe vera conditioner, liquid mousse setting lotion, and gel ice pomade
Neutrogena shampoo, condtioner, hair mask, healing shine serum
elasta qp mango butter, ORS olive oil and shea butter lotion, and wild growth oil.
I usually put the elasta qp mango butter/ORS shea butter lotion on my hair in the morning and use the wild growth hair oil at night and braid my hair into 5 or 6 loose cornrows so my hair will be soft and manageble the next morning.
HTH!
