The End of My Journey

[bellebebe]

If they saw how time-consuming it was to handle, they wouldn't buy it! It just takes too much of my time, and now I'm looking like a member of the Duggar family when I wear it straight.

The problem is that I still have CRAZY shrinkage, so when it's curly, it's APL. I like the length when it's curly, but it's too much when it's straight.

I would LOVE to see your crazy shrinkage.

Beautiful! Awe shrinkage...I thought I could grow my hair to BSL curly and be around TL straight without looking nuts...I may have to rethink that.

Your braidout is lovely!

Thanks so much for sharing your hair journey. I'm sure I'll respond in the same manner as the ladies whom have reached their goal. It seems a bit like Forrest Gump when he "just stop running" it was over just like reaching the end of a hair journey -lol. Your hair is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your regimen.

You have a great sense of humor with the Duggar comment.

I was going to say that I look like a Pentecostal, but I didn't want to offend anyone. I totally understand why they wear all those buns. I told a friend that I was going to go from Duggar to vixen in 2013. I need a new look.

what length did you start? did you ever BC?

I never did a real big chop. I transitioned for several years before I found the hair boards. I just thought I was growing the relaxer out. I didn't know I was "transitioning." I rollerset my hair and flat-ironed the roots to grow it out. When I finally cut the last of the relaxer, I was shoulder length.

how many years into the transition were you?

I feel you on the time stuff. I came to the forum never past shoulder length, grew it out to just past BSL and cut it to neck length. It became a lot of time to wash/condition/rollerset weekly. I'm now back at APL and will let it grow out a little longer, but not much.

Gorgeous locks. I'm all for cutting coloring etc. I find that when u finally figure out what u need to do in order to maintain long heathy hair, you aren't as hesitant to cut/chop/color do whatever. It will grow right back if u decide to grow it out again that's exactly how I am with my hair, which is basically the only reason why I never made it past BSL
