Ladies, thank you! I've transition 4x in my lifetime and BC than cave in and relax because I can't change my hair style or sweat out and can't style short hair. I'm barely SL but I've been nipping off that relaxer slowly but it was everyone support here that help me get to this point! THANK YOU

Okay ladies, I need some help. What can I use to slick my hair back for a bun or ponytail that will give it definition and shine? Right now after I wash/co-wash I add my leave in, moisturizer, then the IC Sparkelites gel, tie my hair up in a scarf add some oil after it's dry. By the end of the day my hair looks dry and by day 2 the Sahara!!! Luckily it just LOOKS dry but that is still not cute. I think it may be the gel??? Any thoughts, tips?

I cosign on the Ecostyler gel. It's the only gel that will lay down my edges. At night I moisturize with water, S-Curl, a little castor oil on my edges and nape, and then use the gel to smooth everything down. I use a scarf and in the morning I lightly smooth on some GVP Silk Remedy and a little John Frieda to give it some shine.

To slick my hair back I use the Clear Eco Styler gel. Then I might rub a little essential oil on top just for fragrance. If you find it to be drying, try using curl activator first and then the gel. Stays nice and soft and it makes my waves pop!

Ditto, I switched from KCCC and Fantasia IC gel to Eco styler clear and the helmethead/sahara situation was cured

It will be a year since my last relaxer on saturday. I can't believe how fast time flies. I plan to henna, steam, rollerset and flatiron my roots then.

Your hair is Beeauuutiful, Stephiberry! I thought I was just stretching my texlax these 5 months, but you wonderful transitioning ladies have inspired me to go natural. All the lovely pics in this thread have been really helpful. Y'all pray for me (and my hair).

Thanks ladies!!!! I have picked up and put down curl activator so many times it's ridiculous. I'll be picking up some S-Curl (oh my DH is going to have a ball with that) and some Ecostyler this weekend!

Can't wait to see! That siggy pic kinda gives us a glimpse into the future though.
Question though: What styles can you not wait to try as a natural, ladies?
The first style I want to do is some juicy two-strand twists!!
I'm looking forward to doing a wash and go and wearing it out (vs. wearing it in a ponytail) with a headband (of course when the weather permits).Can't wait to see! That siggy pic kinda gives us a glimpse into the future though.

I'm doing okay. I usually relax my hair around 26-27 weeks but I'm totally committed to transitioning now.

My first post ever I had my last relaxer June 2, 2009. Currently I have braids in my hair. Just wanted to check in. My goal is to make it until 2013 on my transition wish me luck.

Good Luck! My dream goal is 2012 so maybe we should settle into this forum together and get real comfy.
