I BC'ed today and started a thread. You guys I was SHOCKED at how thick my hair was under the relaxed hair! Shrinkage is a beast.... In two weeks I will have 6 months of growth. I'm glad that I did this when I did, I'm in the process of learning my hair. I will begin a low to no manipulation reggie but I wanted to leave it out for a week or two just to say hello.
I was sooo happy to feel all the coils (I recorded a video which I'll edit and upload on my youtube channel - of me checking my hair was back to normal ) It feels very soft and fluffy and it's obviously because it's *very* clean because I haven't clarified in a long long time.
Congratulation, another 2010 transitioner finish too!

Thanks GrandPrix!!!!
I washed it on Monday and I'm soooo happy I had no heat damage, I was so worried
How're you? How's your hair now?
I start with the back and bring it over to my chest on either side and trim it in a straight horizontal line to make sure it's the same length (this maintains my natural v-shape).
Then I do the front, which I can see in the mirror and pull it down towards my face and also upwards to take a good look at the state of my ends before I trim. For the middle, I rely on the mirror and pull each section outwards in the same direction to maintain an even enough look..
Does that help? I hope so.
) and it will take me a full 10 minutes just to pull it back into a bun or ponytail because I have to be so careful with it with the amount of ng I have now. If I hurry I'll only pull at it (breakage) and I'll make it all frizzy and mess up the set.
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. ♥

I'd say - don't worry too much about it 
..I've been denying it for some time (*maybe if I DC and close my eyes long enough, it'll go awayy*), but I think I might have heat damage from my salon visit.
I've had this patch of hair that's been ridiculously loose from the start, at the crown and further to the front, but now it's turned into frizzy waves with no curl.
It starts at the roots and the waves are uniform all the way down. Somebody, please tell me it's my relaxed hair weighing it down and it'll pop once I cut?
Someone who's my hair twin (or sister) and whose last relaxer was a day away from mine BC'd earlier this month
Now, I'm wondering what my hair will look like if I BC'd earlier than 20 months (Like... May/June - 17/18 months)
But I'm reminding myself why I chose to transition for longer:
1. I need more length (I plan to do twists and pixie braids when I'm natural and I want them to be able to fit into a ponytail)
2. I'm having no problems with my transition...
BTW, I have a new youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNcFEdV4dj4
