Transitioning without BC'ing Support Thread

I will be going to Quebec city for the holidays. My sister is supposed to find me a braider that could do kinky twists in my hair. So I will try to have my hair braided as soon as I arrived over there. So for the holidays, I will be braided ( if she finds someone...)

Wow poutchi it's been nine months? Time sure is flying! Are you still bkting? Also, I'm on my phone so can't send pms but we haven't talked in a while can you pm me about the roommate situation?
 
I watched a few of Taren's videos on her YT channel last night and it has me even more excited to transition to natural than ever!!! :yep: :woot:
 
hey ladies!!!!!!!!!! i've been weaved up the entire year so I don't ever really have anything to input in this thread but on Friday I will be 17 mos post and I am taking down my sew-in and flat ironing, or maybe just doing a braid out depending on how I feel. SO EXCITED!!

I have no desire to cut my hair, especially now in the winter time, the summer was the only time I was tempted so I will at least be making it to the 2 year mark b4 I cut the remaining relaxed ends.

Me! Me! Me! :bouncegre

I plan to henna, DC and flat iron. I want to do a couple of length check photos too for the end of the year (on both wet and dry hair). I haven't flat ironed/henna'd since June (avatar pic) and I'm anxious to see my progress. :yep:
 
I just DC'd, did a minor 1" trim, and rebraided my hair the other night...so I will be doing my usual...rocking a fly wig and calling it a day! I get so tired and busy during the holidays that the LAST thing I wanna think about is trying to spend 3 hrs straightening my hair just to see the same ol' people. Anywho, I have several new wigs to break in, so that will be fun. Currently 16.5 months post, still chuggin' along!
 
Hey everybody:wave:

I just wanted to share that i'm am 30 weeks post as of today!!!:woot:

I'm SO happy that i've mad it this far and everything is STILL going smooth....i find if i just stick with the same routine of sectioning off my hair every single time i deal with it....it just makes it super easy to deal with.

Problem? I need bigger clips to section off my hair....i hate when i don't pay attention when i'm shopping....i should've looked for the larger clips:nono:
 
:dance7::dance7::dance7:For all of you that celebrated major milestones recently these are for you!

My daughter is going to give me a "hair hook-up" as a Christmas present so I'll have my pictures to post New Year's day.
 
One year... You guys should stop rubbing it in our faces seriously... I am jealous here lol. But anyway wowsers! One year is quite something without a relaxer. But I am getting there to, little by little.
I should have never relaxed my first 6 months stretch... bad bad bad decision Poutchi...

Thank you! I thought the same thing. If I didn't relax in May, I would've been one year next month. Ugh!!! But, hey, better late than never, right?

Well, that's the b.s. I keep telling myself to get over the jealousy, :lachen:
 
I decided to join this challenge. I miss my natural hair; the last time I was natural I bc'd and that was Nov. 07 until March 09. Thus time I will transition for 3 years before I chop off the ends. (If the Lord says the same)
 
OMG omg omg omg ya'll.....i'ma post pics another day pretty soon but i put a lil gel on ma nape and i got some pretty spirals!!!!:thud: They look 3c-ish:yep: I only tried it on a really small area.
 
i'm in! i neeeeed this thread. i do not want to big chop.

i am currently texlaxed with about 3-4 inches of new growth.

last full relaxer was april 2010 and i cut three inches of hair off to strengthen up my ends.

i am going to see how going natural affects my hair, since stretching has made a positive difference, i figure why not?

but i am determined to not have to chop any more hair.

off to read every previous post in this thread........:look:
 
I am almost sure I am BC'ing before the end of the year. I want to learn how to style and manage my hair so by the time summer and 2 years post comes in June I know what i am doing. I will still be wearing my wigs to PS in the meantime.
