@flyygirlll2
It will be exciting to hear your new techniques, use of products etc....now that you don't have to be bothered any more with Demarcation.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I am excited to see how products work for my overall natural hair now. I'm interested in trying out more stylers. I tried to make a puff and gave up lol. After I saw myself in the mirror, I really had an " Omg wth am I going to do with this hair??" moment.

I also want to try rollersets to see how that goes, hopefully in the Fall when it gets cooler.

Beautiful and lush head of hair!

When I saw that hair in the sink, I was like I know you were passionate about going for three (3) years.

I can't wait to see your styles etc. I know they'll be "On the Flyy Tip"

 

[flyygirlll2]

@MileHighDiva Thanks Hun. I know, I wish I was able to make it to 3 years but at least I made this far. Hopefully I'll be be back in the roller setting thread in the Fall with you ladies

I can't do a nice twist out to save my life. YouTube be playing with my emotions
I'm about to clarify my hair because it looks sooo dry even though it's not. I feel like coloring it now. On the upside, my hair is longer than I thought. The sides are a APL but the back is longer. Shrinkage is a devil for real.

Shrinkage is a definite liar. Looking good. Now is when that regimen becomes real!

I have never had a successful twist out. I just stopped trying.
YouTube will have you thinking you can be an expert at anything not just hair

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

@flyygirlll2 congrats! Your hair is looking right

Ive been natural for 10 years, I cant twistout to save NOTHING.

Actually, Im styled challenged. All I have is a washngo and bun.

This winter I might go over to rollersetting. Im tired of cutting my hair

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Saludable84 I really don't like the shrinkage but it is what it is. Yeah now I have to figure out a new regimen. I'm still going to keep it simple though. I will say washing my hair is soooooo much easier now!

@stephanie75miller Girl, YouTube has me in my feelings right now. But I have to realize what's being shown is probably the result after a few attempts.

@shawnyblazes I'm honestly style challenged too, that's why I lived in twisted up buns during the majority of my transition. I'll try a few more times with different products. Roller setting worked wonderfully when I was fully relaxed. I'd like to try it on my natural hair once it gets cooler.

Ain't that the truth. My twistouts now are wack. I think maybe if I do smaller twists I will have success.

I have a coworker who has nice twist outs and she told me she uses miss Jessie's baby buttercream. I went to target and said I have a bottle of transitioners Magic but I'm not crazy about the ingredients though it gets good reviews for twist outs.

Another girl told me she uses Nairobi setting mousse. The blue one. She did a flat twist that was bomb.

I haven't been here long. How long have you been transitioning? Having your mom help you is a nice touch.

Hi hi!
My last relaxer was November 2013.
I decided to skip touching up in April 2014.

Yeah I figured while I'll have another pair of hands to help out I better take advantage of it

Can't to see it @rileypak

I haven't washed my hair in weeks but thankfully, it's not feeling too dry. Whether I'm ready or not, I will be cutting the rest of my relaxed hair. My husband is going through some major medical issues, we're out of state and we will eventually be staying with friends of friends once he's released from the hospital. I refuse to be clogging up someone else's drain and using up their hot water.

Congrats @flyygirlll2 - love it!

Sorry to hear about your husband hopefully he will have a swift recovery. Can't to see your hair also

 

[GettingKinky]

@divachyk I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's health issues. I hope he is released from the hospital soon and has a smooth recovery.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk

 

[flyygirlll2]

I'm still praying for your DH and hoping he has a full recovery @divachyk

 

[Guinan]

Prayers @divachyk . I pray that your husband makes a speedy recovery.

 

[divachyk]

TY beautiful ladies.

 

[lavaflow99]

I can see why people BC earlier than desired. That line of demarcation is no myth!! It is crazy. Comb goes easy thru the natural hair until it gets to that line then brick wall. Thankfully I only comb/style during wash day (twice a week). Couldn't deal with that daily.

Enjoying this break from wearing weave as I learn more about my hair. Not sure when I will reinstall but definitely before my cruise in October.

81 weeks tomorrow.

Heading into my 23rd month soon.
