Shrinkage - why I'm transitioning for at least 18 months

[MummysGirl]

We can do it!
Exactly, lol my hair will never look like hers, mine and hers = not similar, lol

I'm right with you, at least 9mo to go.

BUT http://public.fotki.com/lifesacatwalk/the-big-chop-/ makes me want to wait 18 more months but...... my hair will never look like that anyway...

Thank you so much

I am jealous of your transitioning skillz!!

Your hair is always so pretty! Yes, shrinkage is amazing and shocking.

Congrats on committing to sticking it out! I am definitely transitioning for at least 18 months. I love looking at your fotki and attempting to get my braid/twist outs to look like yours, you do such a wonderful job styling your hair so I am sure the next 9 months should be a breeze. Your hair looks fabulous by the way, HHG!!

If you can go this long, then 9 more months should be a breeze.

Girl, I applaud you so much for sticking it out. I definitely didn't...lol. I was more impatient than anything else. I was just ready to be fully natural already, and my relaxed ends were giving me too much trouble, so chopping was great for me in that way. I can relate to the shrinkage, but I've actually fallen in love with all the curls that comes with the shrinkage. You'll love it too.....when you finally showcase all that natural hair after your BC. Good luck lady on continuing to your goal. I know you can do it. You have this transition stuff down.

I really like your texture, it looks kind of like a natural jherl curl

Thank you I'll be coming back to this thread for reassurance if I'm having a bad hair day!
I'm so glad there are many of us transitiong at the same time with similar goals!
Please feel free to ask questions.

Thanks buddy. You look sooo beautiful with your BC, I've told you many times
I know when I BC I'll fall even more in love with my natural hair, I just don't want to have little hair to frame my big (but beautiful ) head.

lol, I tried to transition for a long time so that shrinkage wouldn't defeat me either. And I still look like I have a twa if I don't do backflips to stretch it out before it dries. >.< sometimes its hard to tell when you're transitioning

Lol! I know I'll have to be stretching my hair to dry. I'm hoping I have enough hair at 18 months so I can start my natural journey.
