1. How far into your transition are you? 24 weeks/6 months
2. What's your transition goal? 12 months 15 months if I'm patient.
 
Checking In: I will be 30 weeks post relaxer on Saturday! I have been fighting the urge to BC. So, on Tuesday night I got some cornrows put in an effort to hide my hair for a while. By the time I take them out, I'm sure the urge to chop will have subsided. Although, on Monday night I did dust my ends a bit. In fact, I may have trimmed them, I think I took off about two inches and still need more trimming. I am no longer APL, but that's ok. I'm sure I'll get back to APL and beyond when my hair is in it's natural state.


I have attached pics of my hair after I washed and blow dried Monday and pics of my cornrows.

Almost 8 months post. Woot Woot!!!

I've bunned all week long and I've loved every minute of it. My mom is coming tomorrow and she's gonna braid my hair so I can wear a braidout next week. I am exicited!!!!!!!!!!! I really need to learn to braid with my 31 year old self. Blame shame. :lachen:
 
Hi ladies,

I'm still going strong with my routine of baggying every night and applying my favorite leave-ins 3xs a week. My hair has remained moisturized throughout the week. I am just trying to enjoy my hair and learn what my natural hair loves. The nape section that I BCed is now just past 6.5 inches, which is right on track with my .5 inch per month growth.

My BC urge has finally subsided...for now.

Just wondering....is your ticker wrong or did you make a typo?
 
^^^^ you will just stay focused, be patient, and stalk :hide: all of the beautiful natural heads on fotki, LHCF, etc (hey it keeps me motivated)

No its right I have 5 months left until I am 1 year relaxer free.. I guess it should be worded differently but I wanted a countdown one but didn't have any luck finding the right one..

OH lol tickerfactory has a countdown one it should be under events. I made one for my big chop day....actually yours is counting down I think it's just worded wrong. Dah well. As long as you know what it means lol

Oh I am. I have Fotkis saved in my favorite that I get to drool over all the time. :lachen: I have to say that at 2 months, I'm looking forward to the journey. The little curlies are popping up all over the place. I think that once I hit the 9 month mark, I'll be able to decide when to BC. When did you decide on the BC date?

Once dry my curl pattern is tight coils. I'm 4A. I thought I might be a 3C/4A while transitioning but once natural determined I'm all 4A. I :love: my hair. I have never said this about my hair in my 37 years until I bc'd.

when I first started my transition I intially set my BC date at 1 year post, but as the time passed I figured it's not so bad once I figured out what to do with my hair. So at about 7/8 mths post I decided 18mths would be my BC date; however, I definitely feel I can do longer.
