New *2009* Transitioners Support Thread!

Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to seeing pictures.
Whelp... today I said the hell with it and B/C'ed!! I'm still in shock. It was a spur of the moment decision. I'll post pics tomorrow when I have time to take some. :duck:

Oh, and I blame FindingMe for this!!! :look::look:

I'm happy with it. It's liberating! :yep:
 
My goodness is there always this many bc's in the summer? Someone else just bc'd. It is all inspiring. It is one of the many reasons I decided to transition.

Yes there have been quite a few BCs this summer and they are very inspiring. They also are getting me excited about mine one day.
 
I'm still dealing with a sore scalp (I'm almost 14 weeks post).:crying3: This usually happens around this time when I used to stretch relaxers. Hopefully the soreness will end soon.

scalp massages w/warm oil help. So does peppermint EO mixed into poo, conditioner or final hair rinse. When my scalp gets sore, I do a warm oil massage with CoCasta oil, let sit for an hour then wash w/Tea Tree castile soap mixed w/conditioner, condition, then do a final rinse w/peppermint EO, rosemary and distilled water. I usually feel better afterward.
 
Update!

Hey Ladies,

So I was a little bored at one moment on Sunday and decided to big chop the back half of my head. I have to say it is a good length and I am happy with it, can't wait for it to grow out more. The top and sides are not where I want it to be just yet so I will hold out with that until my full year mark in November.

Take a look at the attached photos and you will see what I am talking about, LOL at the scraggles:lachen: I am adjusting but this humidity is a killer.:spinning:

Congratulations to all the new BC'ers and new Transitioners:grin:

As of Sunday I was 33 weeks post! I am still going strong and I plan to update my ticker at 35 weeks!
 
Is there anyone left?
Was this planned several BCs in one day?
I'm I the only one who is going for the 2 year mark...

Scissors looks good right now..:ohwell:
 
I'm 43 weeks still transitioning! It must be the warm weather and easier to sport natural do is why everyone BC!
 
Hey everyone! I tried transitioning about 4 years back and failed so here I'm again. My last relaxer was about 8 weeks ago so I'm starting off fresh. Any tips anyone?
 
CONGRATULATIONS buddy (I feel all alone now! Just kidding... a little). I love your hair!
HHG!!!!! I'm looking forward to updates as you continue your hair journey all natural.

I BCed today. I don't know how to post pics yet, but I'll make a post with pics as soon as I figure that out!

As with anything dealing with hair it doesn't apply to everyone...but in general, having your moisture game together is the most important. It helps against breakage, helps make detangling easier, and promotes growth. Of course you can overmoisturize, but in general that is my number one rule...moisturize...followed by paying special attention to the line of demarcation, low maintenance and staying patient.

HTH.

Also, CONGRATS to all of the recent BCers :bouncy:...Y'all make me feel like a punk for not beign ready :lachen:, but I'm "yet holding on" as the old folks say.

I'm still here Skiggle, 20 months and 2 weeks deep :look: I'm shooting for 24-28 months before I cut anything else.
 
Skiggle and others, HOLD ON. Don't fall to the BC temptation UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY READY!!! You don't want to regret snipping!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU

AND CONGRATS TO ALL THE BCers!!!!
 
i am currently DCing for the first time with Pantene 5 Minute Strengthening Mask and so far....LOVE it. It smells real nice and gave me great slip. I mixed the container with some cocout oil for added benefits. I am slowly becoming a Pantene girl. I already found the mousse I wanna try for out styles and the serum and cream I am gonna use to straighten. And their Curls Conditioner is the best cowash and leave-in I have ever used. The only non-Pantene product I am gonna own is my beloved Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo.
