New *2010* Transitioners Support Thread!

Random hair thoughts:

I got a mannequin and my braiding technique is coming along great. If only I could learn to do it on my own hair, I'd be SET!

I think I am gonna bun next week and give my hair a rest. Even though I only use heat on my wash day, I still feel guilty for using heat when I said I'd stop.

My hubby has told me almost daily how healthy and shiny my hair is. The other day he told me "I've never seen your hair look so healthy and full". I was like DANG and I just KNEW my relaxed hair was all that.

I can't believe I am 10 months post!!!!! I didn't think I'd make it past 6 weeks.

Just wanted to update everyone and let you know that I am no longer transitioning. I took out my braid extentions the first wk of August and have been wearing my natural hair out. Then one day I decided to watch youtube on how to do coils. I did and when I did them my ends looked scraggly, so the next thing I knew I was cutting like crazy all of my textlax hair off! Which btw was 2in all over. It feels good, but also not so good at the same time. You know how most of us are wanting to retain that length!

But what the heck I am free of chemicals now and all I have to do is look forward to futrue growth that's 100% mine naturally! Yeah btw just in case you were wondering I've been transitioning since Dec 08 which gave me 20 months of transitioning. I really did try to go all the way till this Dec but I felt they had to go. So overall I am pleased with my ultimate decision to cut!

Officially 26 weeks today! That means I'm halfway through a year!!!! I think my ticker is off or something... These first six months have been filled with happiness and frustration, but I'm still in it to win it! I officially only have 365 more days to go!

I didn't get to log on yesterday to say...

I made ONE YEAR post!!!!

I am kinda style challenged but the journey still wasn't half as hard as I expected it to be. I have no idea when I'll BC. I have no desire to BC or relax right now so I'm gonna keep transitioning. If my transition keeps moving along with no breakage, I think I may make it to 2 years.

So for now I'm just celebrating!

 

[TruMe]

Reminiscing - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

[Imani]

I thinking about going on a personal no heat challenge after this weekend. And not use heat on my hair again until my bday (early February).

I'm scuuuurrrred tho. Lol. I've pretty much just worn my hair straight most of my transition. I'm afraid of breakage due to tangles.

Congrats on making it one year. No turning back now. At least that's how I felt at 1 year.

I have been lurking for quite some time now so I am a Newbie to postin but here are my goals:

1. 5mo
2. 12mo

I think we can start by stating:
1. How far into your transition are you?
2. What's your transition goal?

Thanks! That's exactly how I feel. This started out as a long stretch but the closer I got to 1 year the more I realized there was no point in turning back.
