How did you transition?
I transitioned for 15 months by wearing my hair in buns, a faux pony puff, half-cornrow styles, and extension braids.
Did you big chop?
I chopped most of the remaining relaxed ends on Thanksgiving 2006. I had chopped some hair before then, and allowed the relaxed ends to break off because I didn't care about wearing my hair straight.
Wash and set?
No... I'm not big on straight hair.
Wear a weave? (don't plan to do this)
Never tried wigs or weaves, but I'm sure this works for the majority of transitioners.
Did your relaxed hair break off at the demarcation line?
Yes, because I only wanted to take care of my new growth. (I don't advise this only you are 100% sure that you want to be natural and are not planning on wearing straight hair.)
What was your wash/condition schedule and what did you use?
I washed and conditioned when I wanted to; I remember using the old CON green label shampoo, and a variety of Dominican deep conditioners. For moisture, I used S-Curl for a long time.
Have you MASTERED styling your real hair and if so how so you wear it?
Yes. I wear my hair in twists, braid/twists and other -out styles, buns, french rolls, etc. In the future, I would like to try a ponytail roller set, and a (bootleg) Curlformer set.
