Can I transition with blowouts? I plan on getting blowouts every 2 weeks. When my NG becomes to much to bear, I will try briadouts, pincurls, and maybe half wigs.

I need suggestions!!!!!!!!

Do you plan to be a straight natural? meaning you will wear your hair straight mostly or entirely. If so, then you can transition with blow outs. If not, then I will not use heat so much because you can get heat damage and destroy your curl pattern.
 
Hello ladies!

Everyone here is an inspiration. I have decided to transition. As you can see from my ticker, I am not as far post as some of the ladies in this group but I hope to keep pushing - transitioning is a test of will (seriously).

At first, I decided that I would transition without the big chop. I got a dominican blowout and my hair started to break (asked for advise a while ago about that in another post). I just got a press and my relaxed ends have stated to break. I am having quite a few setbacks but I am in it to win it so I believe I will actually big chop in 18 months (not sure how big the chop with be as my natural hair seems to be going like a wildfire, lol).

Thank you for the inspiration ladies! I will be posting often as I need the support. :grin:

i did the bc today yal. my relaxed ends were so tangled and knotted, and in my attempt to detangle, i ripped out so many huge knots and could see the ends breaking, so i decided to bc. i slathered condish on my dry hair, let my natural hair curl up, then snipped off the relaxed ends. here is the first section. ♥

Is it too late to join? I am only 3 weeks post but I've only been relaxed for about 10 months. I want to go for it again without a bc. I am going to just transition for a loooooong time and lose the relaxed ends along the way.
 
:welcome: It's never too late to join :grin:

Thanks everyone. I am hoping that with support I won't relax again. I just used my kitchentician skills on a natural head (mixture of 3c/4a/b) and I was like if I can do this child's hair then I should be able to do my own. I think I was traumatized after the BC last time plus I was not moisturizing. I think that if I deep condition weekly (prepoo) then I won't be in the same situation. I didn't know about the comb chase method either. That's how I did the little girl's hair and man oh man it was gorgeous and her hair was not even in the best shape.

I believe that I can make APL this year so I know I'm definetely going to continue to be a long-term transitioner.
 
I got bored with the twists so I took them out.
