Congrats MG! Your hair looks great!

I cant wait until I'm there! 6 more months will put me just before xmas. My hair is giving me no problems, so I foresee the next 6 months zooming by!
 
The two textures were pissing me off and I didn't want to press again (I pressed and the AC died the same day:nono: Dang Murphy's Law:nono:) so I put in a set of yarn braids. I'll be keeping these in for a year using Nonie's method of rebraiding each braid as they grow out to prevent breakage and build up:yep:

Thanks so much Ladies... I'll create my BC thread today, I wore my hair like this to the gym:


I planned to play in my hair a lot this weekend but I'm really tired today so I might be boring and put it in small twists for the week. Whatever I do, I'll share of course :grin:

^^^ I'm doing ok I guess.....VERY impatient. I don't want to rush life lol but I wish May 2011 would hurry up so I can chop orrrrrr if I can find someway to speed up my growth I can chop by the end of the year lol

Other than that everything is cool. I'm not having a hard time. Sticking to low-manipulation. Braidouts, ponies and buns are my best friends!
 
Coming by to upload some photos of my hair style that I did this morning before going to church. I think it's a twistout, but I'm not sure because I didn't do flat twists. I got up this morning at around 6 in order to do this style before going to the 10:45 service at church. I washed my hair with Organic Root Stimulator Aloe Shampoo (shampooed in 4 braids), then with Aveda Dry Remedy, Deep Conditioner with Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Pack. After I rinsed out the Deep conditioner, I parted my hair into 4 sections and added She Scentit Coco Creme Leave In Conditioner, sprayed with She Scentit Moisture Mist Leave in Conditioner. Then took one section at a time, making 4 twists in each section and then securing with small rollers. Then I sat under my Pibbs 514 dryer for about 45 minutes (I wanted to make sure it was completed dry before going to church, if it had been night time, I would have air dried overnight). I think I've found my transition style for the summer, that is until I get some cornrows put in. Only thing I don't like is that my hair looks like it could use a little more sheen or moisture, not sure why it looks a little dry. Pictures are attached.

divinefavor, perhaps a little bit of oil after you apply your leave-in but before you apply your cream would give you the shine/sheen that you're looking for.
 
My sister-in-law gave me some Miss Jessie's Creme de la Creme shampoo and some Baby Buttercreme. I can't wait to use it this weekend and I'll be 47 weeks post! :yay: :lick:
 
I made it to 1 year of transitioning. :dance7:

I never thought I would love my natural hair like this :love3:

I never could have made it without the support of you ladies :bighug:

I added a couple of pics in my Fotki (Month 12 album) of my braidout today, my bun this past Friday, and my natural vs relaxed hair comparision.:drunk:

I BIG CHOPPED!!!
:grin::grin::grin:

I ended my transition today at 10.5 months and I couldn't be happier. I took a ton of pictures and I'll be back later to post them!

I wanna thank all you lovely ladies for the support and inspiration!
 
Just checking in. I made 13 months yesterday. Seeing MG's chop at 18 months kind of makes me want to chop in 5 months, but I look at how long my hair is now and I don't want to lose the length, lol.

Either way in 5 more months I'll decide.
 
OH MY. OH MY. OH MY.

I THOUGHT I WASN'T MAKING MUCH PROGRESS.

I THOUGHT MY HAIR WAS GROWING MEGA SLOWLY SO I NEVER BOTHERED TO GET A TAPE MEASURE OUT.

ALL I DO IS MOAN ABOUT TANGLY, DRY HAIR, THIN HAIR:violin::whyme:

I JUST MEASURED MY NEW GROWTH.........

I HAVE 6 INCHES IN ALMOST 11 MONTH (26 JUNE WILL BE EXACTLY 11 MONTHS)

I THOUGHT I'D MEASURE BECAUSE AS I WAS DETANGLING I SUDDENLY REALISED MY DEMARCATION LINE WAS LOWER AS IN NOT SO NEAR TO MY HEAD.

I'M A HAPPY BUNNY :dance7:
 
13 months post!!! My hair is a little more than 6 inches long in the back after my mini-BC. I still have a lot of relaxed hair in my crown and front area though. I will trim again at 15 months.

Product Rave: Suave Almond and Shea Conditioner. I love this stuff! It almost seems like it should be a leave-in. My hair detangled with ease and felt soooo soft. I will use this as my pre-poo and cowash condish.

Method Rave: Baggying at night. This has been a major success so far. I moisturize my hair with Qhemets AOHC and OHHB three times a week and use moisturizing spritz every day and baggy at night. My hair stays moisturized all day. I still cowash once per week, and DC with a protein and moisturizing conditioner on wash day.
