Finally got to my photo resizer. Just sum pics of various hairstyles I've been trying out. The one style I'm happy about is my bun. The one pic with the twistout I used goddess curls curl gele-c. I don't know if y'all remember me writing about how the gel wasn't too good for a wng, so this time I tried it for my twistout. It worked out wonderfully! !

I don't mind either way. I'll probably be posting in both. I plan on joining apl 2016 at some point next year even if I don't get to apl next year.
I will keep up with all the ladies that have graduated the SL thread though.

Another milestone. So I went to tuck and roll. My hair is really s hrinky so gotta use bobby pins. Like a lot. But today, having no time, grabbed it up, tucked and was able to use my hair candy comb with no pins! Finally! I can even make a struggle bun.
major milestone. I know it feels good.

I'm wearing a twist out today. It's not ugly but its not cute either. Due to shrinkage my crown isn't even close to my ears and the bottom layer comes mid ear. So its thus awkward look.
I guess I should be glad that at least it's no longer a fro look. But I'm back to flat twist for a while until I get some more inches. I will try it again in December.

Bought some Tressume undone conditioner. There 2 for 10 at CVS. The CVS that I went to only had one bottle, so I'm gonna try the one near my house and see if they have another bottle. I'll make sure I save my receipt.
Still wearing my bun. I plan on washing my hair on Sunday.

got my crochet twists..it looks good but too thick..i'll have to take some hair out i guess 
Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I will definitely be in the SL challenge for 2016 because I will be gradually trimming my ends thoughtout my transition.
I will probably be in braids or twist for the rest of the year because 1) it's going to start getting coldddddd and 2) I'm want to keep my hands out of my hair to avoid breakage at this stage of my transition.

Bent. Not Broken.
Shrinkage. 
it makes my hair impossible to pull up unless stretched somehow. Even then...
@faithVA I also wore a twist out where I made reeeeaallly small twists and sat under the dryer then took them out. Well that amounted to an ear length twa look. I kept it for 2 days but no. Just looked reeeeeaaally awkward
Guess I'll stick to fat twists for a more stretched look when I TO.

Yeah it looks awkward. I have seen people pull off short twist outs but it just doesn't work with my big head.Shrinkage.

Finally washed using ACV. Back to styling my hair in flat twist. I did a pull test and I have a ways before the section I want will reach SL. It looks like probably sometime between April and June.
With the cool weather I think I'm just going to stick with flat twist throughout the winter. I will wear a curly style for special occasions and for length check pictures. I hope around March my length will be suitable for trying some other styles.
I want to put my hair into box braids for December but I'm not sure I have the patience to do it myself. And I'm not sure I trust someone else to do it.

Still in the game, creeping towards the goal. I've added rhassoul clay and cleansing conditioners as my main ways of cleaning my hair. I think I'll see results in the long run. Short term issues with figuring out how to keep my hair from feeling weighed down after cleansing without shampoo. A work in progress.
Also.
I'm VERY excited to use Olaplex.....it's going to be delivered today and I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

What's your rhassoul clay mixture? I've also added cleansing conditioners to my reggie. I alternate every other with ACV and the cleansing conditioner; however I want to go back to using clay for cleansing. I think the clay has so many benefits to the hair.
I use this .......

Loving it. It's very runny and I think most people like it a bit thicker (?)

I'm new to clay, but I love how my hair feels and behaves afterwards. I think I chose a good brand too. Shipping is super fast, but pricey. I was recommended to only use it a few times per month, so I picked up her Ayurvedic co-wash too. I can use that more frequently.
I'm relaxed, btw.

That rhassoul mix looks good but it has a lot of oils in it. It's probably what's giving you that weighed down feeling. Maybe try using it diluted to see if it gives you a different feel.

You will do the APL challenge? Great! :yippee: Yes I'm going to do the SL 2016 challenge.
We can roll them out at the same time if you want. That way those that are joining both challenges can just do a double post at the same time.
Or not
I'm glad that most of us are staying together.
Yes. That along with my habit of wanting to deep condition afterwards, then use a leave-in on top of it.

Yeah that can do it. Eventually it can lead to your hair feeling dried out as well. Glad your on top of it.
