I thought I would start another one,because the old one is too long,I am not Transitioning but my Daughter is, so I need support on that as well!
How long has your daughter been transitioning?
I am 38 weeks post and transitioning from texlaxed to natural. My last "texlax" session was in March 08. I texlaxed to 25% straight so my texlaxed hair and natural hair aren't too different in textures. I still have about 1 inch of bone straight hair left on the ends.
The experience has been going pretty well *no jinx*. I have been wearing sew-ins with curly synthetic hair for 3-4 weeks at a time. I bun when I'm not in a sew-in. I flat iron once every 3-4 months to check progress and dust no more than .25'' tri-annually.
I don't plan on doing a BC...just gradually trim til I reach my goal.
Keeping it simple!
I'm not even sure anymore . It's like certain parts of my hair doesn't appear to have any (my right side), then there are other parts where I still have straight ends...just a ball of confusion! My right has always been curlier than my left and the back, so maybe that's why. Am I making it too difficult?Transitioners: How much relaxed hair do you have left (if any)?
I use henna, it doesn't matter if you have two textures. I think it's actually beneficial as a transitioner. There are a LOT of naturals/transitioners who use henna . The henna and adding a dash of MT to my moisturizing DC's has actually helped me a lot with my breakage. It's very minimal now.By the way, do any transitioners use Henna? I ordered the Cassia from Mehandi.com and then realized I think only relaxed heads are using Henna. I can't really remember. Anyway, I was wondering if it matters that I have 2 textures.
Last night while detangling I noticed that my new growth is pretty strong. It's the relaxed ends that are weak and fragile. They snap like twigs so I try to be very careful.
Any advice??
how do you ladies plan on wearing your hair once you're fully natural?
im going back and forth about transitioning but i dont really see myself rockin the curly look lol.
I'll probably be like my avatar, twists (If I can get them to look right), buns and WnG's-much like now. I'll straighten when the mood hits me. I don't see myself really changing up my styles too much. I like to wear creative updo's and the like already so...I just think natural hair gives you more options.how do you ladies plan on wearing your hair once you're fully natural?
