Planned Transition Challenge

[CoCoRica]

I have never done a challenge. I would love to join! I havent had a relaxer since Sept. My hair is breaking and shedding and from OCT to now, there is a major difference in how my hair use to look. I think I will wear weaves for most of my transition. I will try to due this for at least a year, In between installs I will take pics of my progress.

OP, you are so right, planning is very important It's the main reason why I'm still transitioning @ ~14 months post and I know I will BC somewhere between months 20 and 24. When I'm closer to this time, I will set a date for my BC.

Another key thing is to embrace your hair, all of it - natural and relaxed. If you want to be a long term transitioner, you need to stop thinking of your relaxed ends as a hinderance

Good luck ladies!!!!

ITA!!! Especially the bolded!

OMG!!!! I am so feeling my new growth and i want to try and transition. I will take it week by week since this is the first time i ever attempt this..No BC for me. I think attempting a 18-24 month transition is a good idea (i think)

OMG am i typing this?!?!

Add me! I have recently been thinking of my transition and the PJ in me has me with almost EVERY natural good product on the shelf. Oh lord, my pocketbook! But I've learned from seeing my dd's hair relaxer damage that healthy hair is costly and I am NOT willing to pay with damage and shortened lengths. So basically I joined this journey after reading everything I could read about naturals in order to take care of her hair. Then I started to think, hey I already have a pixie cut, I'm half way there. So here my plan.......I THINK:

1.) Pre-poo overnight with coconut oil or vatika
2.) Co-wash on Wednesday
3.) Ayurvedic wash on Sunday
4.) Flexi-rod set as protective style during week
5.) Only heat is from bonnet hair dryer for deep condish or to dry on rods
6.) BC is planned for Saturday, 9/4--Labor Day weekend (7 mos transition)
7.) Sulphur8, MN on scalp

I need GROWTH, not a big TWA fan--so PLEASE let me have 4 inches of growth, at LEAST!! I am trying NOT to relax the tapered portions, I have found some tips to help me "slick" that down as it grows out, let's hope they work

DD is 7 years old, so her regimen is a longer transition, with a trim every 3 months. She just had one in January, so end of April, we'll do another one.

1.) Pre-poo overnight with coconut oil
2.) Co-wash on Sundays
3.) Curly rollerset or braid protective style during the week


Okay, it's in writing, may as well be signed in blood.

Here we grow!

Off to start our fotki!!
