That sounds tough. I have gone through my followed threads and found a few that you might find useful.

Thread 'HAIRSTYLES FOR TRANSITIONERS (For reference) !!!'

Oct 30, 2009

I know quite a few of us are transitioning and some are thinking of transitioning.

As a transitioner, I know we can get STRESSED when we are stumped for hairstyles. Sometimes we see some styles that we love, we try to them and we end up with ..... !

I have seen some threads where we're asked to share styles but I think we need more...

So Ladies, please share your styles... with pictures of the results (and the process), technique (how-to), products used, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: There's more than one way to achieve a style... so there's nothing wrong...

Thread 'Simple DIY Updos'

Feb 17, 2013

I came across this video on Youtube earlier while looking for some updo styles. Thought I'd share it with you ladies. The first few styles are done on straight hair and then there's a few natural styles as well. Check it out!

Thread '~~~ 101 PROTECTIVE Styles ~~~'

Mar 20, 2008

ETA: It seems Essence has removed or moved most of these photos, so I've updated the links.

I came up with this list some days ago and figured I'd share it with y'all. Pretty please add to the list ... It's not quite one hundred and one (I think) but hopefully it gets there.

****** Thanks to FindingMe, rhlong, Conqueror_aka, Justkiya and others for their great additions. !

Since protective styling helps with length retention, I figure this compilation will be useful for many of us who are trying to reach our length...

Ngl, I made this hair tea today, I reused the herbs and stuff a second time, and was considering doing it a third time cause I didnt wanna throw it out so fast. I was tryna get my money's worth

im prolly gone do it next time anyway lol

I’m really trying to stick to the routine I did last week for wash day, but work is a lot and I’m just burnt out during the week.

I did not hot oil or deep condition with heat :-( I think those are the two things I am missing from a consistency perspective. On Saturdays I literally just sleep and eat.

I must admit I felt kinda special when a palm tree got caught in my hair today

The place where I get my pedicures had new chairs installed. The back massage felt good yesterday and lasted longer than usual but now, one knot in my back is oh so painful. I feel like I’ve been beaten up, especially after my workout this morning.

Amen! Thank you Sis!

I'm almost done taking down my twists, but if my hair gets damp it smells yucky -- I've been using hemp seed oil and ACV to get through the matting. Neither on their own smells good and together....

I just want to be done so I can rinse out my hair and start phase 2 of the detangling process.

 

[Angel of the North]

I haven't seen my hair since early Saturday evening. Been hidden away under a scarf, bag over my ponytail but not in a bun. I think I need to go give it some TLC and get ready for tomorrow.

Here I am, installing mini braids in my hair, after I said my hair too soft for this style, when it’s really that I have low-density. I’m half way through and I’m really excited about it, lol.

I love when our hair gives us nice surprises

I put a ban on buying anything hair related last week, and I've just realised that I actually bought something yesterday......

I needed it though

PJism is a hard habit to stop when you’re on a roll. If you don’t mind, I can place you on the prayer list?

Yes please, and thank you. I need all the help I can get!

ETA: In all honesty, most of my purchases have been tools, ingredients for DIY and equipment. I've been been soooo good with actual products. I actually only really need nasties free moisture DC, balancing DC, and creamy moisturiser/leave in.

We can both pray for you lol

It's appreciated, and very much needed. At the rate I'm going, I'll be needing an intervention alongside the prayers!
