Hi, I just subscribed to the forum a few days ago and I wanted to share my hair journey so far after finding and lurking on the form since 2011. I started transitioning when I found the tightly curly book on Amazon and started doing wash and gos only and leaving in rinse out conditioners because that is what Terri suggested in her method. I didn’t like transitioning because I really wanted to see my curl pattern and so I big chopped after like 2 or 3 months after my last relaxer. That left me with like 1 or 2 inches of hair, but surprising I liked having a short style and I’m glad that I got the chance of figuring out how to deal with my hair from shorter to longer lengths.
Towards the end of 2011 I got sick of wash and gos, getting frequent SSKs and wetting my hair nearly every day so I stopped doing the tightly curly method and started trying to figure out the methods, tools and products needed to do roller sets, twist outs and braid outs.
In 2012, I mainly focused on doing twist outs because it was simple for me and I liked the look after practicing the method and figuring out that I needed to re-twist every night. I ended up trying out the whole straightening your hair with keratin products thing last year too but using heat dried out my hair too much. So after straightening like 2 or 3 times I stopped. I’m surprised that I didn’t get heat damage because I borrowed my mother-in-law’s straightener and I had no idea what the temperature was set to because it only had numbers up to 5 on it lol
So in 2013 my hair goals are to just leave my hair in twists or braids and put it into a bun or ponytail most of the time because I noticed that even though I love doing twist out styles my ends need to be trimmed too often and I want to retain as much growth as possible. My goal is to make it to BSL this year from almost APL, but ultimately I want to grow my hair to at least waist length. So that’s my story and I’m glad to be here
