Lost my long post!!!!!


I'm 50 weeks post. This is my hair's month off :grin: I will put my hair back in braids (no extensions) on the 2nd of January.

Here are some pictures of my hair this week (click on them to see larger images):

(I think this was inspired by Shay72...)


(very sloppy french braids)


(braidout puff from the above french braids, I'm glad I don't have to do 5 cornrows for this all the time)


(My bun today... I can't believe how smooth I got my hair. I airdried in 2 ponytails and left them in overnight. This morning I lightly moisturised and put up in a ponytail... slicked back with a little gel, brushed and laid down with a scarf for 10 minutes. I loved my hair today)



Enjoy your weekend ladies :grin:

So today I'm officially ONE YEAR POST!! :dance7:

I'm so excited, I put a little notification on my cell phone (months ago) to remind me and it totally brightened my day. So this means I'm 2/3 of my 18 month transitioning goal complete.

In celebration I bought myself some new hair products that I'm going to try out tonight! I got the much-raved about EV Coconut Oil, and some J/A/S/O/N moisturizing condish, since I'd like to transition to more natural products in '10.

Congratulations!:congrats::yay::superbanana::clap:
 
I flatironed my hair last night/this morning....(couldn't sleep/stressed)! It was what I needed. I have been in a hair funk lately. I love my hair again. I got a trim too...all smiles from me today. My SO saw a pic and was like, "Babe...who is that? Is that a wig?!"

It's above APL again, short in LHCF world, but I am enjoying just seeing my length versus a bun or failed hair style! It is much fuller and healthy looking than my last FI job.

I hate transitoning hair (yep, I said it :-), but can't wait to be natural. Today is just one of the days I appreciate the versatility of hair!

almost to 52! lol :grin:
 
How did I miss this thread

1. I'm 6 months post and have a thick swatch of NG in the back of my head, so I'm happy cuz for a while it seemed like nothing was happening

2. I just plan to transition until I get the length that I want. I expect that to take at least 2 years. Hopefully with OCT and a good vitamin regimen that I found here, I can reach that a bit sooner. :)
 
1. How far into your transition are you? 6 months
2. What's your transition goal? I don't plan to BC, just slowly trim the ends away.
 
I've been jumping late into these transitioning threads, but I am 5 months into my transition. I plan to transition long enough so that my hair is collarbone length straightened. I have a year and a month to go until that time. Hopefully I can stay strong. When I went natural the first time I transitioned for 5 or 6 months.

Oh how I wish I'd done the same from the beginning!

I just took my first real ng pic so I can see my progress later 2 days ago, and I was just so amazed. I had no idea I had so much natural hair under there! I never really bothered to do the half up-half down thing to see my new growth, I usually just pull at some strands and see how far it's stretching and then quickly bantu knot before it becomes too dry.

I'm so glad I did though, I finally feel my transition paying off. I really suggest you do the same if you haven't already, it'll make you feel all good about your hair. :yep:

Although, I ended up staring at the picture I'll just attach below for so long thinking that it wouldn't be so bad if I did the BC at 18 months that I ended up having this bad dream that I BC'd myself to a TWA and it was all uneven and there were even bald patches showing! :blush: I had to sit up in bed and blink for a while telling myself it was just a dream.
I really shouldn't be taking this hair thing so seriously. :lachen:
