^I guess I my obsession loosened as my transitioning pressed on. While I still think about my curls/kinks, I'm busy with my job and my family duties. So, at least, I have other reasons to not obsess (I'm too busy, lol). I still get HIH syndrome and I have to force myself to stop, though. The obsession isn't as bad as it was when I began my transition.
Checking in! I'm 59 weeks and 2 days post relaxer! I still can't believe I have made it this far. Part of me is ready to BC, but part of me wants more length. I haven't had a trim since April (I think), so it's probably about that time. I am going to try and get another 2 inches cut off and I should be minutes from being natural by then.
I have been maintaining by flatironing every 7-10 days. Instead of using Sabino for my flatironing, I used Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer this time, and I had some breakage and my hair doesn't feel as nice. I'm not sure why this happened, but I won't be doing that again. I'm sick of wearing straight styles now. Any good styles (not buns) for someone this far along in their transition? My hair is APL.
New beginnings, I promise you I am not following you.
I was coming in here to bid you all a farewell too.
I plan to relax. I'm not sure when, but I'm not in any particular rush to relax or not. I just know that for me and my hair, I'll fare much better continuing to relax and maintain healthy hair.
noooooo don't leave us! Jk but how much have you thought about this? Last night you seemed really frustrated that you haven't found a good simple routine or remedied your itchy scalp. Maybe I can help? I just don't want you to give in out of frustration!Ladies, I've come to say goodbye to this thread...I don't think I'm ready for transitioning. I will be relaxing (or maybe heat training), in November. I will miss you all!![]()
I will continue with my no heat and hiding my hair, so if you're in those threads, I will see you in that neck of the woods!
I've decided recently to transition for 18-24 months. I hope that my NG will be at least SL by then...HOPEFULLY!![]()
