Hey everyone! Here's my 6 month update.

I'm currently transitioning to natural and protective styling with weaves. I found LHCF in July & started taking better care of my hair. Hope to be full APL soon. :grin:

& I'll be posting a pic of my hair fully blown out/flat iron tomorrow after I get it done.

You can see the pics in my "dec 09 update" album too.

How many weeks/months post are you? Nice progress!

I'm not sure. I started transitioning "by accident" before I found LHCF so I didnt keep track. I stopped relaxing last year and started using texturizers to loosen the curls (I preferred my hair straight) then earlier this year I cut that out too.
 
Great skills and progress.
Would you like to share your regimen?

Sure.

I hardly stick to regimens but usually when I have an install in...
-shampoo every two weeks (prepoo with a conditioner)
-Cowash once or twice in between poos with Aussie moist/mane n tail conditioner
-Deep condition on wash days with ORS replenishing pck/hair mayo
-I use ORS Olive oil creme/unrefined shea butter
/Softsheen Carson Care Free Curl as moisturizers
-Doo gro oil between the braids sometimes


When I take out the install, I give my hair a break (every 2 months)
-prepoo & shampoo once a week
-protein treatment if needed (aphogee 2step)
-Cowash everyday or every other day.
-deep condition twice a week
-moisturize
I only wear my hair in a bun when my install is out.
