3 months already? wow, time flies! I remember when you left a message in the transitioners thread about your decision to transition. I can't believe it's been 3 months already! KUTGW!
I cowash my hair 3-4 times a week, when it's in the braids (no extensions), I don't have to do much to my hair. When it's loose, I usually cornrow or flattwist it after cowashing and/or DC'ing. Some days I get lazy and leave the cornrows/flat twists in - especially on days I work out with them still in and rinse my hair after, I just use a headband or scarf to make them look pretty. Usually, though, I wear the braidouts/twistouts.
I'm going to try to keep my next set of braids for 3 weeks (I'm going to do them on Saturday), I usually have them in for 2 weeks. This will mean less manipulation and less time spent on my hair
And I'll leave my hair out for only a week (instead of the usual 2 weeks)... I'll see.

I have implemented some things into my routine that will really help as time goes on. Thanks to the ladies in the "Use One, Buy One Challenge". One simple thing that has made a huge difference is plaiting my hair up at night. I just put in 4 plaits and I am good to know. Who knew, right? It has made detangling a lot easier. I have to remember that one of things they say helps when transitioning is to treat your hair as if it is natural although you are not yet.
MummysGirl--How many times a week do you do your hair?
for me! 
. I am 41 years young today, lol.

I will be 24 weeks post tomorrow and I have no idea what to do to my hair. Money's tight right now so I won't be able to go to the braid shop for a while. I'm scared to take my braids out because this a critical time for me...I usually get frustrated and end my transition around 26 weeks.
I'm finally taking out my Senegalese Twists so now I have to decide what styles I'm going to try for the next few weeks.
