Transitioning without BC'ing Support Thread

Still want to maintain an Air Drying Regi through the remainder of the Summer.

My Hair is still nice and moisturized from yesterday.

Will do this right up to 09/24 (x2 years post)


Wow, I would love to be able to make it to 2 year transition. How long do you plan to transition? Sept 20th will make my 1 year mark...I think I can go longer but some times I get an itch to cut!lol
 
@Benuontherise
I always snip a little here & there. But not sure how long I'll last though.

There are several posters in this thread already past the two year mark.

Not sure why I keep thinking 24 months something magical is going to happen? I kept saying 24 months, but now that it's almost here, I'm not sure?

I'm already mentally looking past the holidays.


Okay that's great, yea I do like a 1 1/2 in every season but my husband gives me the evil eye when I talk about dc'ing, lol. I have been considering just leaving my relaxed ends on as I just do maintenance trims/or mini chops since I was only Texlaxed before there isn't a huge texture difference. Most of the reason why i consider cutting was because I thought I was having a lot of breakage. I rather have short hair then scraggly hair. But I think I have a good regimen going now to make it last.
 
Lol thanks @rileypak

I have a question for everyone especially those who bun.

How do you successfully get your hair in a bun? My buns are smooth on the edges etc but the middle part isn't. My hair gets pretty tangled up and not smooth at all. Like I can see a hump in my head when I do a bun.
 
@Beamodel
Are you trying to bun on wet or dry hair?

Honestly for me, the only way I get my non-twisted hair into a ponytail or bun with a smooth-ish crown is if I do so on soaking wet hair. Otherwise I have to dampen my crown really good to get it carefully stretched out and laid down.

I'm interested to hear how others handle it too...:scratchchin:

@Beamodel, @rileypak, @IDareT'sHair (thank you for the compliment T),

I dampen my crown, do my bun and apply gel from edges to the ponytail holder (either wetline or ecostyler olive oil). I sometimes will add oil on top of the gel for a little bit of shine.

I leave my bun in for the entire week if I can. When the gel wears off and frizz creeps in, I will usually dampen the crown (with keeping my hair in the bun) and slap on more gel to hold me over until the week is out.

The bun part of my hair is pretty cooperative. I either do a donut bun with an actual donut or form my own hair in what looks like a donut. I always set my hair at night so by morning, it's nice and smooth and ready for whatever throughout the week. My hair is frizzier when I try to bun in the morning. There is not enough scarf time between doing my hair and arriving to my destination to ensure a sleek and lasting look.

(sorry for the novel)
