I wanted to believe that, but when I looked at the pictures as she took them, I was close to BSL in certain parts. I was sad to see them go, but I know it will grow now.

So you want to join us for a couple of months? LOL!!!

Any tips out of the ordinary?

Yes mam I want to join! :grin:

No real tips other than protective styling. I'm going to get another sew-in for the summer so maybe I'll be able to keep the length I gain this time. I've found that ignoring my hair by having it put away works really well for me. :yep:

I hope to get to BSL by the end of the year. Thanks for the encouragement ladies!

I've been transitioning for about 8months now and can no longer take the 2diff textures. I am going to BC next week. Just in case I didn't like if I got a lace front today lol. But my question was after you BC'd about how long did it take for you to get SL/CBL?

I got my hair done Friday:

And this Is Ms. Jackie lol

I transitioned for 10 to NL/EL and was SL in 6 months or so. I'm CBL now and a little over 1 year post BC

Wow 6months! That's great. Thx so much for letting me know. I'm scared to cut my hair because it's never been very short. But I know its necessary and it'll grow. I'm going to still lurk in this thread cause I really enjoy it and have learned a lot but idk about getting APL this yr after I BC. Good luck to everybody else tho.

Week 3 of braids. I am trying to track my growth.

I didn't realize I had that much gray.

Sorry again if it looks strange.

Thx for your insight BronxJazzy! I know everybody's hair journey is different but it's stories like these that help me feel more prepared to BC. Thx again.

I'm going out on sat for my birthday so I wanted to think up a style that I can wear. I braided the side of it and left the rest out in a braidout. What do you guys think? Should I wear this style or find something else to do with my hair?

Loreal has a cleansing conditioner. I washed with it last night and LOVE It! Gonna buy more bottles. Then I used my curl formers. It's my first set.

The curls are too tight and I'm not crazy about it.

Can you pull on them. Or pull them back with a barrette to let them stretch out a bit?

I did my length check, not much to see there. And I posted an old fro pic a few months ago. Besides that I don't do many hair pics.
