Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
I think sometimes we aren't organized and focused with our transitions and maybe that's why some of us end up relaxing again and again so.....
This challenge is a personal one, there are only two rules.
1. Create a detailed plan to transition.
2. Keep us updated after each cut (pics are nice too)
I have had four failed transitions but this time I am serious because I cut three inches off the top and two inches off the back of MY FULL MBL hair in January. I have never been able to cut in my previous transition attempts, just stretching, I was too focused on length, but my true goal is long, healthy, natural hair. HHG!
I will take pics for fotki along the way.
Last relaxer December 28,2009
START MBL fresh relaxer -13" in top half 14" strands all over most of head and a 10" bang. Crown to tip 25 inches.
January 2010
1st MINI CHOP 3" off top & bang & 2" off the back.(Shag hair cut i.e. Farrah Fawcett)
Result:
No Natural hair.
Top half- 10"
BANGS-7"
Back half-12"
Crown to tip 23 inches.
February 2010
RESULT:
1 inch of natural hair on most of head, bangs are growing slower about 1/2 inch natural in bang area.

MY SIMPLE PLAN-Trim one inch every other month and basically pretend I am already natural in my styling and hair care regimen
