how do you manage to get your roots straight. I'm currently 14 weeks post relaxer and I rollerset my hair a couple of days ago and when I combed it out, let's just say my hair is now in a bun.

 

[simplyconfident]

These pics are actually two weeks post but I thought I'd post anyways. I relaxed after a six month stretch (another failed attempt to transition lol ). I also got my hair cut into layers ( i dislike straight hair). I cut my APL hair to neck length in Oct 2010 so I'm very pleased with the length Ive retained for about a years worth of growth. I hope to be full APL by January 2012.

 

[bebezazueta]

simplyconfident gorgeous hair! I love your layers!

sunnieb thanks and yes so worth the wait. Your hair is beautiful lady

nickpoopie I'm just 1 week post but I'm getting lots of requests of how I do my roller sets and smooth my roots with no flat iron nor blowdryer. Soooooo when I'm 8 weeks post I'll do a thread with pics & instructions. I hope this is ok and you can wait. If not PM me lady.

 

[divachyk]

@sunnieb - looking good! Great progess.

I CANNOT wait until I get my TU. I still have a few weeks yet before I can get to the salon. When I TU, I'll be around week 13 or 14 when I normally TU around week 10. The additional stretch has been unintentional. Work demands followed by personal trips = unintentional stretch.

@bebezazueta - plz tag me when you do the tutorial

Very lovely sunnieb!!! What's your goal length by the way? You're BSL now right?

You have beautiful hair, definitely hope to get where you are.

Please stop making me want layers!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!

 

[sunnieb]

bebezazueta - Thank you! I don't really style my hair after I relax. I'm sitting here with 2 bantu knots in right now. I'll take it down and let that be my "after" pic. And tag me on your tutorial!

divachyk - you are so sweet! Thanks!

Nix08 - I acutally hit BSL with this relaxer, but I'm not claiming it yet. I still need to trim, so I'm not sure if I'll still be BSL when I'm done. My goal is relaxed tailbone!

 

[sunnieb]

Here's my hair right now. I took the two bantu knots out and fluffed:



I tried to do pin curls last night, but they ALL fell out! I only had the knots in for about an hour, but I gotta leave soon.

disgtgyal can't wait to see your results!

I must say having to go back to neck length, I'm not that excited to relax especially knowing that I have about three more inches to chop off before I have full healthy ends

BabyImaStarr - I don't see your relaxer pics in here.......

 

[belletropjolie]

Checking in! Relaxing this weekend and I can't wait! I will be 9 weeks post and really crossing my fingers that I can make my goal of APL. If not this relaxed then my next. I am still undecided on whether to bonelax because I enjoy the fullness I get from uneerprocessing. Anyway I've attached a pic of my new growth, I think I have roughly an inch??

 

[nickpoopie]

Currently 15 weeks post trying to decide if I'm going to make it to 20 weeks post. Either way I know that I have a couple more weeks before I relax so I will definitely be back with pics

hair4romheaven Thank you so much.

WOW you really think so? I've been so discouraged it seem like everytime i'm approaching covering my bra I get a trim. I started to refer to my goal as BSB beacause that never changes and I've seen so many variations of how ladies wear there bra, I was confused.

Here is mine. I got a relaxer last Wednesday by dontspeakdefeat.The only thing I will be adjusting is this experimenting with new stuff (color) and my diet. I got some color in the front and I now have some breakage . I also had a terrible flat ironing experience. I will cut it off as I go but I could not part with it this time. I must up my water and take my vits. I also plan on eating better

 

[MsDee14]

tasha7239 Your hair is beautiful!

 

[bebezazueta]

tasha7239 wow! She did an excellent job on your relaxer. Your hair is so thick and shiny. Looks like you doing a good job growing it too. Thanks for sharing!
