I was 36 weeks Sunday and I am at that point where I know what to do to my hair..... I am just bored with it! Hopefully this will pass soon or I will be BC sooner than I wanted!
 
I'm 17 weeks post this weekend. I really regret relaxing back in April. I would have been 42 weeks now.:sad: Still hanging in with the Senegalese Twists.:grin:

lol, I thought it was just me. I'm a little over 7 months and I had to call my mom to tell her thanks for doing my hair when I was young! I also had flashbacks of my grandma straightening my hair between her legs saying "hold still girl."
 
Hey all! I made it to one year relaxer free!!!:dance7:

I have almost all the relaxer cut out too...just a few straight ends on top. My longest layer is SL stretched! I can't believe how much my hair has grown in a year. I'm so happy!! :king:
 
I'm at 10 months tried cornrows twice but my curlies keep popping out and my hair looks too frizzy. So I'll just stick to what was working pony/buns until my one year mark this Oct.
 
I don't have a date set to cut the rest. I'll probably just search for straight ends once in awhile. Most of what's left is on the crown and my hair doesn't have much of a curl pattern there so it's actually difficult to tell what's relaxed anymore. The whole bottom half of my head is relaxer free.

Congrats! Any problems or regrets?
 
Took out my curly afro weave. It's too hot for it. Went and had BKT done. Not happy about dollars spent but I am happy with my hair....for now:rolleyes:

So happy for you!

Are you going for the two
year stretch?
 
my hair is just so...easy...to deal with right now. its scaring me. lol. i just cowash, bun and keep it moving. and i feel like the curls are becoming more defined as time goes on. i credit it to my pantene. =)

'tis all for now
 
Nearing two months post so nothing exciting here. What I'm interested in is month 7. My longest stretch has been 6 months.
 
Happy Transition ladies, hang in there for those who are less than a year of transitioning. There will be good/bad days but the end results will be relaxer FREE! 6 more weeks and it will be a year for me and I'm not bc I just need 4 more inches of new growth before I can get rid of the relaxer ends.
 
I've decided to put myself back in this challenge. I had all intentions of continuing my relaxed journey, but I could not bring myself to buy a relaxer or get a touch up when I got my hair color at the salon.:rolleyes: I think my mind has made the choice for me.:lachen: My body is just now catching up. I will use heat moderately to continue my transition. I also found some new you tube videos to inspire me onwards. I think I just needed to take some time and figure it out for myself.

Congratulations!!!
 
omg. i freakin hate my hair!! this is the worst flatiron job i've ever done. ugh. i had a lot of breakage. mostly from knots in my hair. i haven't been getting all the shed hairs apparently and there were huge knots. i just ripped them out. i don't care. i'm ready to chop this hair to the white meat. i know for a fact now that I WILL NEVER RELAX AGAIN! gosh, i miss the days when i could cowash everyday, and run my fingers through my hair like it was NOTHIN. i can't do that anymore without feeling like my hands got stuck in a bear trap.​
