I'm nearly 18 months into my transition. My goal is 2 years minimum (June 2011)...if I can last longer, I may try to make it. I'd like my natural hair to be APL stretched *fingers crossed* before I BC.

Seems like we are on the same wave length.. On both questions

COngrats..

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

My goal is to transition at least until 18 months post but preferably until mbl or wl natural

 

[lizzyb168]

Wishing everyone success in their transition in 2011!

Dont give up and remember the long beautiful natural hair u will have once u decide its time to big chop!

 

[Imani]

16.5 months post

I don't have a goal, just gradually trimming them away. My hair is cut in a layered inverted bob. The back is shorter and has no relaxed hair left. The top and sides have a couple of inches left.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Yay Ladies!!!! I was a long-term transitioner myself (2 plus years) so I applaud you for going hard!!!! Happy Hair Growing!!!!

Any tips to remind us?

 

[brg240]

Brg240, I can't wait to see your transitioning pics again...!!! It's amazing how much natural and relaxed hair you have.

thank you so much I'll probably be taking some pics at the end of the month.

Thanks and lets do this weight thing together.. I really need some motivation

sure and good luck, i think I'm going to start spending more time in the health and fitness forum. I often don't feel motivated but I have an image i'm striving for so I'll press on.

 

[Ms. Martina]

1.) I am a little over 6 months post(last relaxer was on 6/7/10)

2.) I plan to at least make it to my 12 month mark before doing a BC. However, I have been thinking of going 18 months lately....idk. I'm getting so anxious though, so waiting an additional 6 months might not be an option. Heck, I'm barely patient enough to wait until my 12 month mark

I have been cutting test patches so I can see what my hair will look like when it is natural. So far...I like it! It's tempting me to cut it all off, but I must stay strong!

 

[Foxglove]

Just wanted to come in and congratulate all the transitioners. Good luck in 2011!

1. How far into the transition are you? I'm 19 weeks post

2. Whats your transition goal? the longest I can go, but the minimum being 18 months.

 

[Ijanei]

1. How far into the transition are you?
on the 27th of Dec will be 7months in

2. Whats your transition goal?
I plan to reach 18 months then BC (depends on the length of my hair though)

 

[MsWowFactor]

We can start off like always:
1. How far into the transition are you?18 mo
2. Whats your transition goal? all natural mbl.

Just to follow up from my post from this moring in the old thread, i decided to try a new salon today after not going to the hair dresser since July. I am happy with the results. I am getting sick of doing my own hair. Not sure if I will go once or twice a month. I want to continue with my own treatments. She commented on how healthy my hair was. She was surprised since I dont go to a hair dresser on a regular basis.

After she did it I could appreciate my hair a little more because I just cant get my hair to swang like they can. I think I put to much product but I can't help it. Anyway I could really see a difference. It is longer than what I thought and healthy so I guess I have been doing a better job than what I thought.

1. How far into the transition are you? One year next Wednesday
2. Whats your transition goal? 18 months to 2 years. Or when I get to APL stretched

Nothing is set in stone tho. But since this transition had been going smoothly, I might keep transitioning until all the relaxed bits fall off
