New *2010* Transitioners Support Thread!

I would like to announce that my 12 year old daughter that was natural until about May has decided that she will transition back to natural. She is under the realization that it was a mistake to relaxer her super fine hair and that relaxers are from the debil (her words not mine). Her motivation now is the Jermaine Jackson fro. I am glad that we both agree about this decision.

Trust me, time will fly by. I joined the 2009 thread at 7 weeks post (I'm almost 50 weeks post now) and I can't believe how fast this year went!!!!

Good for you, that sounds like a wonderful manipulation free plan, lol. I'm looking to do the same. I'm takin down my weave the end of Jan, probably will give my hair a weeks break and do Mummy's tutorial for twist-out, then onto Senegalese twists.

Do you plan to keep the same ones in or redo them????

1. How far into your transition are you?
2. What's your transition goal?

1. I'm 1 year and 7 weeks in :grin:

2. My goal is to make it until December! I was supposed to cut my relaxed ends Thanksgiving week. :nono: Couldn't do it cause my indigo henna didn't come on time.

I'm really in need of a new regimen to be honest :look: My hair is crunchy dry and really lacks any kind of life. So another goal is a new simple regimen I can maintain faithfully :look: :lachen:
 
:welcome:

What's your current reggie? How often do you DC? Moisturise? Clarify? Cowash?

wow. i tried to do a twistout with those twists i wore, and it didn't really work out lol. the relaxed part is pretty with waves, ad the natural part is so defined and fat and curly, but together a mess. so i put it in a banana clip, which still isn't all that. i'll post pics in my fotki.
 
I just took some pics of my Senegalese Twists. I'll try to post better pics later. Excuse the goofy grin, I don't like taking pics.

I can't wait until I'm 100% natural. I think this Friday makes 18 weeks for me. I'll go for as long as I can...
 
Oh I just realized this is a new thread, lol...

I plan on tranisitioning for as long as I can, if its 1 year or 3, 4 or 5.. I want health and length before being natural. But if the transition proves to be too much, I will chop all relaxed ends off. I will be 18 weeks post this Friday and I'm ready to be 1 year post, lol.. But not really, this is my last year in my 20's so I'm trying to savor every day until the big 30 next September
 
The people who say months 6-9 of a transition are the worst are not lying. I'm almost 6 months (23 weeks) and my hair is not behaving...lol. I tried bantu knots and one side looked nice but the other looked crazy. My braidouts, which usually are pretty nice, have been becoming real frizzy by the end of the day. Today I have my hair in a bun so I think I'm going to start bunning all week maybe do a braidout for one day (on the weekend).
I need to post some pics - I'm not good with taking them myself.

Thanks for listening, ladies! :grin:
 
Thx for posting. They are very pretty! I love the length...I haven't seen them this long before.

I'm 22 weeks and I have resorted to blow drying once a week. I plan to be a straight hair natural so I am not worried that it may loosen my natural texture. My relaxed hair could take blowdrying once a week so I think my natural hair should be fine. I'll be paying close attention to my hair to check for any adverse effects. That being said the blowdryer and a bun has made things 100% easier.
 
i like the do mummysgirl
