Relaxed, 4B
Now that my hair is longer I don't mind when I'm several weeks post as the length of my hair balances out the base (not sure if I articulated that properly:ohwell:).

My plan has been to wear wigs the rest of the year as I transition indefinately/or stretch 6 months. I'm painstakingly torn on whether or not a want to remain relaxed or go natural.

The other day I got really sick of and tired of my current wig and it's synthetic rattiness at the ends. I had already cut off a few inches and now those ends were ratting. It's futura fiber so I can revive her but that moment coming home from work snatching it off and throwing it all i wanted to do was feel my hair. So i took my 3 1/2 week old cornrows out to wash moisturize and seal and throw it in a big bun and go fake hair free for a few days...well I'm 14 weeks post right now and if i don't get those cornrows back in and wig back on tonight I'm gonna end up relaxing. My hair is sooo freakin thick i think I'm in for quite the journey even teasing myself with the idea of going natural.

I wish my hair was better.My hair is too short for a nice style naturally which makes me very embarrassed but then when I do the phony bun it only last for a few days then my shrinkage hits and makes the top start drawing up making the bun look a mess.I'm tired of wigs and I don't want to buy anymore ever or for a long time..hair please act right tonight if not my fantasy of shaving it off may happen.

I'm home and the bun is out and Ill just call that feeling earlier a little mini crisis I had to let out because feeling my new growth I'm falling more in love with the idea of seeing more of my natural texture. From the look and feel of it I think I'd be a happy natural. I'll just need lots of moisture. But I'm hyped up about the possibility of transitioning again.

So I'm about to scurl and seal, cornrow and wig it again. I made a scalp oil concoction with evoo, castor, evco some drops of lavendar, clary sage, peppermint and rosemary eo's. I'll oil my scalp with this after its braided. Cornrows are my favorite PS for the accessibility to scalp/frequent oiling and being able to see/measure growth. HHG!

I just prep'ed my hair to be shampooed and looked at the clock to realize how much time will be dedicated to shampooing, dcing, rollersetting, and sitting under the dryer. Needless to say after separating my hair into plaits, I put on my bonnet. I'll have to save this for saturday morning.

Am I the only one that can tell the difference between the hair that got a little more TLC and the much older hair? I have somewhat of a uniform thin-ness towards the last three inches of my hair. I would do another trim but I trimmed about 3 inches off this January and I just got it all back I'd hate to start the year off the same length.

Everybody should try JBCO on their edges even if they're not obviously thinning. Your forehead might not be as big as you think :look:

I gotta start prepooing....and doing everything possible to keep my hair moisturized.

Sometimes I forget how rebellious my hair gets deeper into a stretch....

GoddessMaker practice makes perfect! After I went natural I had to completely learn how to care for this new head of hair I had. YouTube and natural hair blogs are your friend! Trying different styles on weekends or off days are great practice times :) don't forget to be patient and gentle

Idk how many people would be interested or show up lol. I've never made a thread either... The bolded is the only band I really care about since it's my friends. I need to listen to the rest.

hmmm...so vitacost sent me a bottle of ao white camellia shampoo along with 3 of the 4 bottles of conditioner i ordered. i dont know if they ran out of the supply of conditioner and replaced it with shampoo or what, but i dont really feel like switching it for another conditioner, but i'm not sure yet if i want to try the shampoo or not. i mean, it doesnt have any sulfates or any other ingredients i dont want in my hair...i'm thinking of seeing how it works for my next wash session. ((shrugs)) hmmm

I've gotta do a better job at being consistent with my vites and water intake. It seems that if we have OJ or grapefruit juice, I'm on my vitamins. If I have to take 'em with water... :ohwell:. I was doing so well. Guess I'll have to set reminders for myself. :yep:

youwillrise I would let them know. They could possibly send you a replacement conditioner & allow you to keep the shampoo. Just a thought...
