Long aid is awesome isn't it
Yes I love that it leaves my hair feeling moist and not hard
Long aid is awesome isn't it
it just occurred to me that i have 3 inches of hair all over my head. if i wanted to transition and cut off my relaxed ends, i'd just have to wait until December. that's not too long....So I really could be SL natural by April of next year. It doesn't seem AS far away when I put it that way.
also, i've had my twists in for a month this saturday. could i go another month or two or should i be careful?
I would go no more than 6 weeks and then increase by a week or two with your install next time. That way you can gradually see how it goes.....
havilland, that's what i was thinking but my fear is that my hair will look messy if it's not done. i can't afford another install for a while so i'm worried what to do with my hair in the meantime.
This is me too! Reniece told me to go natural like 3 years ago AND offered to do my hair at a severely discounted rate so that she could use me as a guinea pig to learn natural hair techniques and i said "NO..."nono:
i still regret that dumbness! i could have 3 years of natural hair growth and probably be close to waist length, but i sacrificed that for a relaxer touch up...... soooooo dumb!
So I went to the salon on Thursday and got a flat iron plus got an inch trimmed off. This should take care of what was left of the relaxed ends in the back and a good amount left in the front. When I wash next I think whatever relaxed ends are left I am going to finish cutting off, for some reason I am ready to be done with it already. But I am already claiming being natural since there isn't really anything left to transition with. All I can say is I wish I knew all this information back when I was younger and was natural I may have never relaxed. Anywho I'm so excited to be starting a new hair journey as a natural this time. Now time to get back to waist length!
Welcome to team "natural"!!!!
I am happy to be done with it too. Those last few ends don't mean a thing to me and they shouldn't to you either. Congrats!
I washed my hair on MOnday and saw that I had some heat damage. I was getting lazy and trying to do like others and wash my hair once a month, blowdry, and flat iron. That's not working so I'm going back to weekly washing and rollersetting. I cut off the few heat damaged ends so I think now and I am done with my transtion. I don't have enough relaxed ends left to call it a transition. I cut off all straight peices I saw as well. It's been a good ride ladies. I transitioned for 2 years 1 month and 1 week. LOL. I now have to figure out how I will wear my natural hair weekly. NO more direct heat for a while so we'll see. My hair is fine but very thick. I thought it was thin but the flat iron and blowdrying made it appear that way. MY rollerset was thick and lush. My hair is a little past my shoulders now. My shrunken hair is right below my ears.
So today I decided to do a wash n go but I out the front up. The shrinkage is ridiculous here is a pic
Girl!!! Shrinkage gets me depressed sometimes!
What prods did u use on your wash n go?
Yes...I get depressed also it's crazy, I just want a lil bit of hang time. But I used a eco styler gel and long aid activator gel
I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only time I get "hang" is in a ponytail. I can't imagine wearing a wash n go at this length. I am 2-3 years away I think.....
me too, yesterday confirmed that I will not be wearing wash n gos. It's sad because I really want to wear them
