I'm removing myself from this challenge. I am not ready to transition like I thought I was. Maybe in the future.

How are you guys air drying? I have been using flat twist but I think that this is cause excessive breakage. I can't wash and go because my hair will really tangle. BTW I henna'd again and finally got some good results! yea!

I airdry in a french braid, cornrows or flat twists now... I only started doing that 2 weeks ago. Before that I was airdrying in a ponytail for 30 mins then letting hair down to airdry completely with a headband/scarf holding my hair back.

Congrats! Boring is good, IMO. Better than having issues dealing with two textures, that can be very eventful! HHG

Thanks girlie. I don't have much relaxed hair left, so I'm sure it'll all be gone at my 2 year transitioning mark.

I agree it can get boring especially if you like me and can't do those twist/braid out. I'm style challenge during my transition I'm only rocking pony tails. But hey you don't have any damage and that is great!

possibly the smartest thing I have ever done in regards to my hair is box braid most of it up. I didn't do tiny ones as I would not have the patience to put them in or take them out but having these 25 or so braids in my head has made this week a breeze. I can wash, condition or deep condition with no manipulation whatsoever. I can moisturize and seal without feeling as if I am missing a spot. Since I still have access to my hair I can easily see what condition my it is in and can still play a little in my new growth. My hair stays detangled and the relaxed ends are protected. It really only takes 2 minutes to do my hair to leave the house now.
I still have hangups though. I do not feel confident in my half wig yet. Sometimes I would like to run out the house without even the wig and more like just running my fingers through my hair like I used to do. Since I have a blunt cut the ends of my braids unravel a bit, luckily the rest of the braid stays though so can't really gripe about that.

I love box braids! They are now part of my transition regime. I do them for 2 weeks, and leave my hair out for 2 weeks (I do my braidouts and twistouts during these times).
I cowash 3 times a week with them in and they still look good! DC'ing and moisturising is so easy too. Sometimes I put everything up in a ponytail or do this:
I don't leave them down though, I don't think I have enough thickness.
About the blunt ends, maybe put the braids in when your hair is slightly damp so it can dry and stay braided at the ends?
HHG!

I am 8 MONTHS (35 weeks) post relaxer!
According to my new transition plans, I have between 7 and 10 months left in my transition.
Things are going well... I am used to dealing with both textures now. My hair is usually in one of the 3 hairstyles in my siggy. Currently I'm in my box braids (no extensions) and will have them in for 2 weeks.
My hair looks like this today:

Thanks! I really don't have much of the relaxed ends left. I've been chopping along the way and I may have an inch or so in the back, maybe 2 inches in the middle sections. It's hard to tell because I texturized my hair so the ends of my are are still very curly.

congratulations mummysgirl, you make transitioning seem so easy...your hair looks good
I tried doing box braids a couple of months and they didn't turn out so good...But on Monday I'm either getting kinky twist or micros. Hopefully they last for at least 2 months. I'm so tired of doing my hair. The only way I can wear at work is in a bun but 2 hours into the workday my edges are a mess. Can't wait!!

This transition is really getting to me. I will be 10 months of the 26th. I am bored with buns, seems like I am shedding like the dickens. I cant do braid outs or twist outs because it is so humid, by the time I get to the car, they fall. I am thinking about getting kinky twists.

Congrats MummysGirl for getting to 8 months. I look at your twistouts and braidouts and say I cant wait until mine thicken up like that. I must say you were probably the inspiration for box braiding my head so thank you! Because I can never make anything easy for myself, I just happen to not like it as a hairstyle for my face, but it works perfectly for the half wig with all these benefits. I especially like having the visual and physical access to my actual hair as opposed to when a weave or braid with extensions are in.
