Transitioning ( I have to keep reminding myself b/c alot of my hair looks natural!)

Hopefully I will wear my current braids until the middle of June and then depending on the health of my hair, I will start wearing twistouts and wash n gos.
What's your goal by the end of summer?
I'm trying to avoid BC'ing again until I hit my nappiversary on 1/1/10 but if I get pretty good growth from my braids (SL stretched) I will BC. That will be a cut of about an inch or 2 and put me at EL-NL.

What's your goal by the end of summer?

Whimsy - you are doing a FABULOUS job transitioning!!

Answers:

Natural

Twists or braids mostly and the occasional twist-out/braid-out or puff. May blow out, rollerset or flatiron on special occasions. Twists/braids can be washed or rinsed off without the extra manipulation of having to redo the style.

I probably won't get there by the end of this summer but my ultimate goal is full or pretty darn close to it waistlength at the end of the year.

I am moving to Florida too (next month) so the weather change is also going to be an adjustment for me especially coming from Ohio. It will be interesting to see how my hair does in that weather.

I'm moving to the Jacksonville area, what about you? I live in Cali now so def dry air here. I have been there in the summer the humidity is threw the roof!!

 

[msa]

1. Natural.

2. Celie braids under a wig. I'm going to try keeping the braids in for 2 weeks at a time. Still rinsing and castor oil everyday.

3. This summer I think I'll focus on growing out my front edges, it's like I have a halo around my hairline in the front. I think they're still short because I wet them and then put a head band on them everyday. I'm going to try braiding them in small cornrows and not wetting them as much.

 

[*Michelle*]

I live in Orlando and the humidity here in the summer is crazy! I would suggest that you try braids, braidouts or twistouts, or halfwigs.

For the summer I plan on wearing half wigs and braiding my hair on my Army weekends and training periods.

Yeah, I was gonna do a rollerset next weekend, but I think I will try a braid out. But won't it just get frizzy? I don't do braids and wigs plus it's already gonna be hotter than:heated:...lol!

Whimsy, I'm moving to the Jacksonville area.

Sorry ladies, I don't know how to quote multiple people in one post.

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
I plan to start cowashing for first time and mastering my wash and go's (last summer my wash n go's were H.A.M.) I'm thinking about going lighter for the summer but scared of the damage it may cause.

What's your goal by the end of summer?Nothing big just hope for lots of growth.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My Summer Plans are to continue to Focus on Health before Length. Continue to incorporate practices that assist in Retention.

Continue on my Challenges: Baggying, No Heat, Take Better Care of Your Hair and Step it Up on the Growth Aids III. Keep a Good Solid Regimen consisting of balancing Moisture & Protein and continue with very low Manipulation.

In times past, I usually experience a really good growth spurt in Spring/Summer so hopefully all the Wonderful things I have learned here will just be the Icing on the Cake.oops! I guess I really didn't answer the question. Sorry.
1) Relaxed
2) Wash & Condition and Mold Down (too short to do anything else)
3) Neck Length
