I'll be six months post on april 3rd, and I'm seriously considering BC-ing. I'd planned to wear braids most of this year anyway, so I'm kinda like what difference will it make, and why hang on to these relaxed ends....? I dunno...I need to stop watching BC vids on Youtube:look:.

Those bc vids will get you every time :yep:. I cut a little bit in the front of my hair bc I just couldn't picture how that would look :look:. Just as with the other snips I :love: it. March and warmer weather will be here soon and I will be a cowashing fool again. I can't wait.
 
hiding my hair while in school and working has done me well
im taking these twists down in 2 weeks
and then bunning for 1 week
and twistouts/braidouts/bantu knots for 2 weeks
and then twists/braids again

this is the best way for me. if i have to do my hair daily, i would have gotten a touch-up by now cuz my hair doesn't want to agree/tangles :perplexed
 
:sleeping: :afro:Last night, I had a dream that I had bc'd and finally had all natural hair.

I'll be straightening my hair next week. Maybe my dream will become reality :look:...
 
My classmate told me today that my hair is always different. Come to think of it in the last 5-6 weeks I've had my senegalese twists, my gelled bun, my reddish kinky twists, and the micros
 
I did a bantu knot out for the past 2 days. But my hair gets all tangly, and my hair hates tangles! But rollersetting is just too much work at this point. So I will be getting braids soon.
 
im getting a sew in saturday....im 5 months n im too busy in college to experiment what works well with my hair...so i think sew in it is!!! honestly otherwise i might take a dive into the creamy crack :ohwell:
 
I still have not decided what I want to do to my hair for the spring/summer. I know I want to give it a break but I can't decide if I want braids or a sew in. I'm leaning towards the latter.

i'm still just wearing my hair straight all the time at the salon with steam treatments. I just bought a bunch of stuff so I can attempt to do it myself at home. I visit the salon every week, trying to cut it down to every 2 to 3 weeks. So I bought...

-A Hana elite flat iron
-A cheap stand up steamer
-An FHI professional blow dryer

I'm still in search for a serious deep moisturizing conditioner. The one they use at my salon is their own personal product concoction and not for retail sale. not yet anyway.
 
I've been baggying every night, even with the Senegalese Twists. My NG is so soft, it's almost scary. I'm thinking about giving my hair a break after I remove this set of ST's next month. Then, I'll probably install the ST's again or try a sew-in. I really like the Kinky-Curly hair that Ediese was wearing in her last thread with pics.:yep:
 
Man - I wish I could get twists or a sew-in or wear a half-wig to hide my hair but my job environment is fairly conservative. :perplexed

Oh well-- I guess I'll be bunning and doing braidouts for the next year or so. :look:

Why wouldn't you be able to wear sewn-ins or half wigs in a conservative environment? I also work for a very conservative company(black suits, stockings and all), and I often wear sewn ins and half wigs with no problems.
 
i'm loving my twistout right now. my hair is so silky and soft and springy lol. i like this coconut oil too. i can't wait to wash my hair tomorrow with this Hair One and see how that works. then i wanna experiment some more with styling. :lol: ♥
 
Ladies who hide their hair throughout their transition.. How do you manage! :lol:

Yesterday I washed after having it straight for 9 days and I was so glad to see my tiny coilies again. I stood in front of the mirror shaking my head from side to side to see how they bounced. :lachen:
I missed them. :infatuated:
 
I know what you mean!!! I even have a video showing me touching & playing in my new growth after my 1st wash/DC when I straightened. I love playing in my hair :grin:

:up: Both vids are great. Very informative and well-executed. The only thing I might do is speed up certain sections (i.e. twisting/undoing twists) where it's not essential that the viewer see the process in a precise manner in real time. The results are great! Your hair looks fully natural - so uniform and thick!

Girl, I'm about to go stir-crazy. I've had these cornrows in for almost a month and twirling the buckshots in my nape is the most I've gotten to play with my hair. Even though I know the end of the month is fast approaching, it can't come soon enough! :lol:

My concern is wearing something that does not look authentic. I would more likely wear a sew-in or half wig that looked real enough by my standards. I just haven't seen any that have impressed me.
