Hey ladies, I'm currently transitioning to natural but when I went through some old threads, a lot of the fotki's have been disabled.

So, for all ladies who have transitioned/are transitioning and have pics/tips, post your fotki's here! Maybe we can get a little collection going on...
 
I'm transitioning. Four months since my last relaxer. I have done a couple of steam treatments at home and that has really helped make my NG very manageable. I plan to transition for 24 months then BC. (ISA)
Pics in my transitioning folder.
 
I made six months post yesterday. I would also like to see others that are going au naturelle without the BC. I would like to stay at BSL while I transition, trimming along the way, probably every 2 months. My fotki album dedicated to this journey: Transitioning to BSL. I would love to hear from others who have done this or have made the decision to do it.
 
Any body around my time ( Nov 07)? I want a transition buddy :sad:
 
Hey ladies, I'm planning on transitioning without the BC. I will make 6 months on saturday and was undecided as to what I wanted to do. But I have now made the decision to go ahead and transition. I havent documented my journey thus far because I wasnt sure but I will from this point on. My last relaxer was 10/07 and things have been going ok. I still havent mastered handling this new growth but I'm sure with the help of others it will get better. The transitioners support thread is a bit much and i dont have the patients to deal read thru it, but if I could find a transitioning buddy I would be delighted. Those of you with fotki's of your journey are definate inspirations and keep me from reverting back to my old ways. Keep up the good work guys
 
A little over a year post, fotki in siggy :grin: I have had 2 medium chops along the way tho.
 
my last relaxer was dec 06....I wish I had documented my transition then, but oh well...

I'm thinking about it now, but just don't have the time.....:ohwell:
 
I don't have a fotki, but so far I haven't BC'd, but I know I will need to. I am using growth aids (i.e. MN, MSM, L-Cysteine, Biotin), and hopefully these will help. Off and on, I use the little bit of MTG I have left, maybe I'll up it:yep:

I stopped relaxing in June 07, so I am nearing one year. It's gotten VERY difficult, and I've had a lot of breakage. Currently, I'm in braids.

I am currently 1 year and 1 month post relaxer. I had a medium chop back in September, but I haven't BC'd yet. Actually, I'm starting to reconsider the whole BC thing. I wanted to BC in September, but I may have to transition longer than I expected.

Girl, if you don't have to BC, don't:nono:

My new growth is sooooooooo different from my relaxed hair, so that's why I may be forced to BC. I've had a lot of breakage over the last month, but my new growth is "growing like a weed," and hopefully that combined with the growth aids I'm using will have me long and strong (hair that is:lol:)

My last relaxer was in June of 07 too. I too am suffering from the same breakage you speak of. It is horrid :wallbash:. I would like to transition longer but my new growth seems to be 4b and my hair was relaxed BONE-straight. The difference is ridiculous. The breakage is based primarily in the back so I've been trimming that area everytime I take my braids out. I've been in braids since December. I've never managed natural hair so I have no idea what i'm doing. In June I might just cut it all off before the damage continues further up the strand and into the natural hair. Good luck love!
 
I don't have a fotki but next month will be 16 months. I may decide to cut the relaxer out if I have enough natural hair to play with.
 
My last relaxer was September 07. For a while, up until last week, I was taking care of my natural hair and learned alot about it. I got a weave to go to the beach and will wear it until the middle or end of May. I still do oil rinses and co-wash, but I've cut down to once a week with the co-washing since we're on Spring Break. I will pick it back up to at least twice a week when I go back to work.
