Yep, NEWLY NATURAL...BC Here!!!**PICS**

THANKS! It was soft at first and now it's getting kinda hard:blush:, but I keep playing and touching in it, so that may not be helping either. I was tryna rock the big fro like you got, but I gotta work up to that...(I was a lil scurred...) maybe a big ole fluffed out braidout will give me some courage....LOL I'm a hafeta try something else bc the aloe vera by itself doesn't seem to be holding...:lachen:

The Aloe Vera Gel is a very "soft" gel in my experience. It helps with frizz but it's very flexible hold. I asked b/c I haven't completely rinsed my hair out once since I BC'd. I always leave some of my reg. condish in and then seal. I'm too scared to have my hair "naked"

Ohhh myy gooooood! Nuuuuuuuu, my transitioning buddy bit the bullet!!! I'm DYING over here. Here I was trying to hold on for dear life, and then Whimsy B/C'ed and now YOU! (Mook's was scheduled, so the blow was lessened :grin:) I can't believe you! lol. Every time I think about B/Cing, which is pretty often, I think about you and how you'd kill me if I did, and here you done gone and did the thing! :clubu: It looks SOOO good though. I'm so proud :) Gah, how am I going to keep going now... :spinning: :lachen:

I KNOW!!! I was scurred to tell you:lachen: And I was the one tryna convince you NOT to chop. :lachen: Anyway, I will say that I haven't worn my hair down yet bc it starts out hanging down when wet, but as it dries it rises up like dough and so is more "out" than "down." I think if you really want to wear WnGs and you don't want a fro, you may want to wait a few more months. I think in about 3-4 months, my hair will hang more like i'd like it to. Also, the other thing I've found is that my hair grows faster in the back than in the top. I still have some relaxed ends at the top (maybe and inch?), but i don't want to chop them bc I don't want a mullet (I want more of a mushroom) and I don't want to lose any of the length from the back. So maybe these things will keep you on the path we set out on 16 months ago. :grin: Anywhoo, I am still trying to find out what works and what doesn't work and the products I used before are not necessarily working like they did with my transition, so I am at square one all over again. Just some things to think about:yep:

But all in all I am enjoying the new found freedom...(and it is a LOT easier to manage than BSL 16 month post hair...I alsmost feel like I could do it every day...LOL)

After Whimsy cut I knew all the long term transitioners especially the ones feeling the itch ( You, Morenita(sp? sorry), Soleil) would end up BCing by the end of July.:lachen::lachen:

I could see it all coming call it my 6th hair sense.:grin::grin:

:lachen::lachen:Morenita is still hanging on, though but i dunno how long she's gonna last (see above):drunk:
