New *2010* Transitioners Support Thread!

^^^ :bighug: thanks so much Nikki, Girl I would have totally forgotten will put this in my calendar for thursdays. :)
 
:ohsnap: I'm have BC thoughts again. Where the heck did this come from????

As I stated last week, I wore my hair flat-ironed all week. Last night I did my usually weekly hair maintenance routine. Now I am back to my thoughts of "what do I do with this". I didn't feel like braiding, didn't want to set it, didn't want to twist, I just didnt want to.....ANYTHING. lol

So.....I started "clipping". At this point I have no idea how the back of my hair will look the next time I decide to flat iron. I cut so much off. LOL My little pony tail was lopsided this morning because I have NO relaxed ends on the left side BUT quite a bit on the right. LOL *sigh* I don't know what to do.

I think its time to take more "naked hair pics" to get all of your thoughts. *le sigh*
Thanks for reading my rant. LMAO
 
I just got up and power walked with the dog this morning and co-washed with my beloved Oyin Honey Hemp....ya'll....i believe this is my staple conditioner FOREVER.....i can co-wash with it, deep condition with it AND use it as a leave-in and i think come Black Friday i want that 32oz bottle so that it'll last longer. I forgot how many weeks i am but i know i'll be 6 months post on the 12th.

I'm still enjoying my transition:yep:
 
Hey what's you guys o to everyday hair style?

Mine is.....plaiting my hair up at nite in 2 or 4 plaits and rolling up the ends and scarf it up. Then when i take it down the next day i can rock my curly braidout ponytail and i've been using my Goody barrette like the one Kimmaytube uses in her vids....i bought mine at Target, not LuvNaturals:nono:...:laugh:. and i use the Goody Stay Put headbands to help my bangs stay back.

I moisturize the nite i do my plaits and the next day i spray my edges with water and slick em down with some EcoStyler Gel....i like the Olive oil one....ponytail, headband and go.

I've noticed that my edges don't need as much slicking as they used to when i was relaxed....they finally blend with my hair!!!:laugh:.....that means my hair wasn't meant to be relaxed in the FIRST place!!!:laugh:

I'm 11 months post tomorow everyone. Hair is braided up so I'm not dealing with it. Probably keep these in til Thanksgiving, do a good wash and such. Probably straighten because I need to trim then I'll be back in braids until Christmas

My go to hair style is usually braidouts but since i'm braided up i dont have to worry for now. But yup, usually I do 4 braids at night and then the next morning fluff it out for a cute braidout.

You are so silly for the first bolded :lol:

One thing I've noticed about my edges is that they're really easy to lay down! Before I was using a motions pomade and scraping them back with a HARD (and I mean HARD) brush. Now I lay them down with water, jojoba oil and my fingers.

And I'm in braids for now so I just shake and go!

At night I braid my hair in 2 braids and put a scarf on. Sometimes I baggy and then put the scarf on. The next day I put my hair into a ponytail (using a little bit of Elasta QP Design foam and lightly brush), roll the ends under and pin into a high bun. I use Eco Styler around the edges. I put a scarf on until I leave the house.
 
Hi Everyone!

Well, I've been trolling around this thread for about 3 weeks now and I've decided to push up the floor boards and come out. I decided to transition about 3 weeks ago but I want come out and make it official. So here I am.

I'd like to get one of those ticker thingys that a lot of people have but I'm not sure what I should put down as my start date. My last relaxer was in May 10 but I did get a texturizer in August, so what am I, 5 months post or 2 months post? (Can you tell I'm a newbie?)

I haven't gone through all the posts yet but I'm loving the hair porn and the great suggestions, advice and the sharing of frustrations and triumphs!

I hope to be fully natural, without the bc, in I don't know...as long as it takes for my natural hair to be chin length?...how's that?

If you can transition for at least 1 year (14 months post relaxer), then you should be chin length when you BC.

I was 14 months post when I BC'ed and I had decent length.

Welcome to the thread! You would be 2 months post since you used chemicals in August.
 
Ohhh boy I'm counting down til Tuesday when these braids come out. Idk which oil I should use to detangle with. I normally soak my braids in EVOO that works pretty well, but I wonder if there's anything better out there. Any suggestions ladies?
 
Lol! I might go to my local BSS on my lunch break tomorrow to see if they have a bottle for me to pick up. But I'm gonna have to fight the urge to go into the wig section. I'm so weak right now!
 
Yeah that's cute! But I want cheap lol how old are you btw if you dont mind. Your other pics make you look very young but the one you posted you look upper 20s/30s.....and whose grave were you violating lol
