how do you manage to get your roots straight. I'm currently 14 weeks post relaxer and I rollerset my hair a couple of days ago and when I combed it out, let's just say my hair is now in a bun.

These pics are actually two weeks post but I thought I'd post anyways. I relaxed after a six month stretch (another failed attempt to transition lol ). I also got my hair cut into layers ( i dislike straight hair). I cut my APL hair to neck length in Oct 2010 so I'm very pleased with the length Ive retained for about a years worth of growth. I hope to be full APL by January 2012.
 
simplyconfident gorgeous hair! I love your layers!

sunnieb thanks and yes so worth the wait. Your hair is beautiful lady

nickpoopie I'm just 1 week post but I'm getting lots of requests of how I do my roller sets and smooth my roots with no flat iron nor blowdryer. Soooooo when I'm 8 weeks post I'll do a thread with pics & instructions. I hope this is ok and you can wait. If not PM me lady.
 
@sunnieb - looking good! Great progess.

I CANNOT wait until I get my TU. I still have a few weeks yet before I can get to the salon. When I TU, I'll be around week 13 or 14 when I normally TU around week 10. :spinning: The additional stretch has been unintentional. Work demands followed by personal trips = unintentional stretch.

@bebezazueta - plz tag me when you do the tutorial

You have beautiful hair, definitely hope to get where you are.
 
bebezazueta - Thank you! I don't really style my hair after I relax. I'm sitting here with 2 bantu knots in right now. I'll take it down and let that be my "after" pic. And tag me on your tutorial! :)

divachyk - you are so sweet! Thanks!

Nix08 - I acutally hit BSL with this relaxer, but I'm not claiming it yet. I still need to trim, so I'm not sure if I'll still be BSL when I'm done. My goal is relaxed tailbone! :lick:
 
Here's my hair right now. I took the two bantu knots out and fluffed:

I tried to do pin curls last night, but they ALL fell out! :nono: I only had the knots in for about an hour, but I gotta leave soon. :ohwell:

Checking in! Relaxing this weekend and I can't wait! I will be 9 weeks post and really crossing my fingers that I can make my goal of APL. If not this relaxed then my next. I am still undecided on whether to bonelax because I enjoy the fullness I get from uneerprocessing. Anyway I've attached a pic of my new growth, I think I have roughly an inch??

Currently 15 weeks post trying to decide if I'm going to make it to 20 weeks post. Either way I know that I have a couple more weeks before I relax so I will definitely be back with pics
 
This is an old pic (my last salon relaxer in dec 2010) but I wanted to share

@ojemba BEAUTIFUL!!! You wear your bra low. You're BSL almost MBL. KEEP GROWING!! ;-)

hair4romheaven Thank you so much.

WOW you really think so? I've been so discouraged it seem like everytime i'm approaching covering my bra I get a trim. I started to refer to my goal as BSB beacause that never changes and I've seen so many variations of how ladies wear there bra, I was confused.
 
Here is mine. I got a relaxer last Wednesday by dontspeakdefeat.The only thing I will be adjusting is this experimenting with new stuff (color) and my diet. I got some color in the front and I now have some breakage :ohwell:. I also had a terrible flat ironing experience. I will cut it off as I go but I could not part with it this time. I must up my water and take my vits. I also plan on eating better :yep:
