'trim' as in the rest of those flimsy ends????

 

[seraphinelle]

I'm 4 months post. I don't know what my end date will be. I guess when my natural hair is at a length I am most comfortable dealing with.

Mother and younger sister are also going natural.

Big pictures? How big do you want them to be? I thought the ones in my siggy were big enough.

 

[seraphinelle]

Allandra, was there a reason why you did a long transition?

Allandra, was there a reason why you did a long transition?

I did a long transition because I was used to having long hair. On top of that, I have crazy shrinkage as you can see by my siggy pics.

 

[growinglong777]

50 weeks post and counting, will post some pics soon next week as soon as I can!

Way to go.

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

Allandra, your hair is beautiful.

I will be one year post in three weeks! Wahoo! Aiming for 18 months. Gonna get some senegalese twists on my anniversary

Your hair looks beautiful in both siggy pics. I have crazy shrinkage too and based on what I see from you I think 2 years is my best option too.

 

[LaReyna756]

It's been awhile since I checked in. (I have to post something, so I can look at my siggy and see how long it's been since I relaxed.) I logged on today, because I'm thinking about relaxing... I don't know what to do.

I will be 80 weeks post (19 months) on the October 11th 2009 and still have no plans to BC anytime soon. Protective styling by way of wigs have made this journey painless. Hang in there everyone and keep on growing strong!

 

[keykee]

I am not really sure how long its been since the last relaxer.. at least 5-6 months. I am getting through the bit of breakage.. trying not to comb as much.. the roots are soooooo thick. Roller setting and ORS replenishing conditioner is what is helping me get through this.. for now. I can't wait to BC... but.. I am going to try to ride this out through the winter. Hopefully BC.. hmm maybe in the spring. I cannot wait to see what my natural hair is going to be like.

Well, we know everyone's hair is different. My hair doesn't shrink like this in the front / sides (only in the back).

Cool. You're doing good.

How much new new growth do you have? How much relaxed ends do you have?

 

[Ltown]

True! they are big enough!

 

[Allandra]

True! they are big enough!

Cool. You know I was just sayin'.

 

[Allandra]

I rescheduled my hair appointment since I got my FHI Runway flat iron this week. I plan on using it tonight or tomorrow morning (under the dryer now doing a roller set now).

 

[cocoaluv]

I did a mini chop today and put some braids in my hair because I can not handle the two textures. I went from almost BSL to just above shoulder length. This is a huge step for me!!!!
