Transitioning without BC'ing Support Thread

My wash days are so much easier and quicker. What took me so long to remove the relaxed hair. Even when fully relaxed, my wash days were so much longer since my hair tangled so badly. My hair no longer tangles badly, thank goodness. And, I no longer have to pre-wash detangle because shower detangling is a breeze.

This the exact thing I experienced. My hair is easy to detangle now.

How long does your braidout last? What do you do at night to preserve it?

My braid out usually lasts about a week. However, sometimes I will wash after 3 days and do a different style. Anyway when I wear a braid out, I re-twist my hair every night into Ceily Braids and add my oil mixture. Back when I had my braids out done at the salon, somehow I made them last 2 weeks and did not re-twist. Now that I do my own hair, I don't leave them in as long.
 
@sarumoki, Komaza said I was never low porosity, I have normal to high porosity. I really felt like my hair behaved like low porosity though. However, I stopped struggling with my hair in general after my hair analysis. I shampoo every wash day now and use protein as needed. Those two simple things changed the health of my hair tremendously.
 
I trimmed some more ends. Trimming is addicting. Never thought I'd say that. I still have a few more relaxed ends left from where I was too conservative when I big chopped. I'm ready to get my hair shaped up but I haven't figured out what style I want. I'm unsure if I want to shape it in a bob or get some really cute cut.

Great! Steadily snipping away I'm basically fully natural. I am 26 months Post.

I need to do a little trim. I was about to ask if any one does the Lun-ar Calendar?

I was wondering what those dates were?

WOW! Great job!

I have heard about trimming on the lunar calendar cycle, but I have never tried it. I found this:

Spring Equinox March 21-22-23
Summer Solstice June 20-21-22
Fall Equinox September 22-23-24
Winter Solstice December 19-20-21

HTH! Will you post pictures of your curls and coils when you BC?
 
@IDareT'sHair, thank you for the tag. I will incorporate it for 2017. I can remember my great-grandmother believing in this rest her beautiful soul. She used a Farmers Almanac if memory serves correct. I know some people like to joke the idea but if it was good enough for my great-grandmother, then it's good enough for me.
 
Transitioning again, I'm going into my 7th month since my last relaxer. I don't plan on transitioning for as long as I did last time (a year in a half). I have my hair cut into a short haircut so its not going to take as long to grow out the relaxed ends.
