Thanks girlies for all your wonder support!
I just want to show you guys where my length is for
this December 2009 compared to September 2009.
I'm so happy that my hair is growing. I hope next year
that when i do my final length check it will be passed
my chin. I can't find my starting pic I took in June
during the hide your hair challenge but my hair was
indeed lacking length.
16 moths post.
*Please don't mind my silly face, just came back from
the gym that day*

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE ON THEIR BC or
THEIR JOURNEY THUS FAR!!!!!

Are you ready or tired of dealing with the relax ends? Don't rush and BC if you want more length hang in there find some protective styles. I'm at 62 weeks post and have 2" of relax ends in the front. I could cut them but I want a good hold on my buns/pony. Since it cold where I'm at protective styling for a couple of more months and waiting for some more growth is worth it.

 

[MummysGirl]

vainღ♥♡jane when did you BC the last time you went natural (how many months post relaxer)? Like ltown's said, try to go as long as possible

 

[seraphinelle]

I needed to come into this thread.

I'm tempted to relax.

The only thing stopping me right now is the fact that I don't trust anyone in this country to do it.

Ok, stop, take a deep breathe and back away SLOWLY. In times of frustration it's never a good idea to make a drastic change. Besides you're my transitioning buddy. Why don't you hide your hair, give it some time and then make a clear decision.

 

[seraphinelle]

I definitely need to hide my hair. But not sure with what.

I don't like braids where they only braid so far, because it's knotted around your own hair.

I think I may just go with a weave, to be honest, that will keep me occupied for at least a month.

Yes, try a weave or cornrow your hair and put on a half wig. That way you won't have to deal with your hair for a while also. That's what I'm doing right now. It will definitely cut down on frustration. HTH

 

[plastic]

thank you everyone ... and it is very true what people say ... you don't really know your hair texture until you cut it off and use the right products.

I hope everyone has a great transition period ... and I'll see y'll over on the other side ..

 

[msbettyboop]

I was looking for tresemes today when I came across Tigi bed head reconstructor. It smelt soooooooooo nice and I was about to drop it into my basket when I saw the $22 price tag. Before I buy this and discover it’s useless, I’d like to hear some reviews first. Has anyone tried it before? Is it marvelous enough for the $22 price tag? TIA

 

[seraphinelle]

Ok, I am going to wash and condition my hair on Saturday night, and then get it weaved on Sunday.

Thank you Neek!

No relaxing.
Have you looked into wigs yet?



VJane (sp?) I think you should hold out
as long as possible, before BC.. wasn't having
not enough length one of the reason why you didn't
like your first BC?

lurking...and subscribing..It's almost been three months since the last creamy crk..might as well!

 

[CaliDiamond]

Oh yeah! I forgot..my goal is chemical free hair.

 

[c0urtkneee]

newbie coming out of lurking as well. :]
my last relaxer was in August. &this will
be my second time attempting to transition.

 

[preciouslove0x]

ive been through old threads but i still dont understand how people wash in braids without them coming loose in the shower. i even tried the little girl barettes at the ends but that was way too much of a hassle... whats ur technique??

Just have to say that to anybody not washing in sections, please start doing so RIGHT NOW!! You have no idea how easy and enjoyable (yes ENJOYABLE!!) wash days can be until you start washing in sections!!

i am just tired of dealing with these two textures together and trying to detangle them. i am going to try some detangling sprays and conditioners and see if i can't get over this hump. ♥

yep. and i already know if i bc in feb i won't be completely happy with the length, cuz when i relaxed last year i was 11 months post. 1 month is not gonna make a difference in length. i'm gonna keep trying to work with this hair but i'm not gonna be happy about it all the time. ♥

i did 3 sections on each side of my head, 6 in all. Did loose braids and then used ponytail holders and tightly wrapped it around the ends, i had to do it tight cause when my hair gets wet it just slides out of the holder. I've tried the barettes and they didnt work for me but the holders worked well.

I used 1 holder on each side, so 3 plaits in each holder and then i washed with it just like that, rinsed like that, pulled the braids out and added condish, braided them back up and put the holder back in.

HTH, if you still dont get it, i'll post pics the next time i do it so you can see what i mean.

I am so tempted to cut a piece of hair in my crown area like StephElise. I probably will .
