It's I officially official, ladies...the CC is no more, I'm transitioning. Here are some pics from wash day (day 5 after CHI Enviro)

after 1st shampoo
thoroughly detangled...look at that comb!
blow dried
flat ironed 340 degrees
look at my edges...

The biggest differences I noticed immediately are:
1. Smooth transition from NG to relaxed ends-wet and dry
2. Soft but strong feel during and after shampoo
3. Easy blow dry and flat iron
4. Much less hair on the floor
5. My crown area is much softer and smoother and feels wonderful
I'm 19&1/2 weeks post. Next wash day I'm going with a Twistout. I still have about 85-90% relaxed ends...please don't kick me to the curb!

I so happy you finally said the "T" word I'm happy it worked out for you. Your hair came out so smooth and silky.

My last touch up was September 28th (today made 8 weeks). I don't feel like I have much new growth but have noticed shedding and some breakage (tiny hairs in the sink during combing). I went to my stylist today for wash and roller set and she suggested that I come back in 2 weeks (10 weeks) for a touch up. I didn't even mention the breakage and shedding to the stylist. I'm kind of torn on this.

Listen to your hair. When is the last time you did a protein treatment?

thanks, girl. It makes me believe I can actually do it!

Cattypus1, your hair looks great! I think transitioning works when you have a plan. This system is working for you.

thanks, my hair has never been so easy to deal with. It makes me believe I could really do a WNG when my NG gets long enough to get rid of these relaxed ends.

Cattypus1 the treatment turned out great!!! I'm looking forward to reading your continued updates on your transition and growth. How are you planning to maintain it? Was the treatment one time to help you through the transition? I would imagine you'd want to leave your natural tresses untouched.

Thanks, KiWiStyle. My understanding is that it lasts about 4 mos...I don't really know exactly what that means since it looks like I need a touchup when it's wet right now. The feel is different it's smoother and stronger and the demarcation spot is not as defined. Additional treatments are supposed to enhance the strength and smoothness without destroying the natural curl. The treatment was applied from root to tip and it appears to be everything it's advertised to be. All three textures of hair appear to love it but it's only been a week...LOL. I had envisioned never being without a relaxer/texlaxer but I think the benefits of this treatment really allow the best of both worlds for me. Time will tell.

DominicanBrazilian82, I don't use heat often but I am curious which heat protectant are you using. Also, congrats on your 1st home! That's a great feeling.

Rozlewis it's called Donna Bella Finishing Serum (or something like that).

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

So I guess we're buddies in this relaxed buddy thang! I'm gonna take some pics of how laid and thick my hair is coming in. When straightened, there is no difference between my relaxed and natural hair. When wet, that's a whole 'notha story. But I wear my hair straight 99% of the time, so no worries there.

Date night with the hubby at Cooper's Hawk!! I did a pre-poo with coconut oil, shampoo with Nairobi Pamperlizer neutralizing/chelating poo (AWESOMELY MOISTURIZING), 2-minute reconstructor and now I'm steaming with Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner. I'm going to rollerset for a curly set and wear my most BOLD lip, MUAH LADIES!!! Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Don't come back from that date night making little kiwi's...you gettin' all dolled-up and thangs!

 

[SunySydeofLyfe]

Well buddies I must say the demi permanent wella is the way to go, there was little mess in the shower....I mean I usually have to douse the shower with bleach cause the color bleeds everywhere not with this one! And my hair feels soft, the true test will be when I take these flexirods out and check for them roots!!!!

I am hoping this is a winner, cause I am far to young to be greying but I am wise beyond my years!!! lol!!!

Have fun KiWiStyle I am doing a bold lip too! I think I may go all in and do Mac Cyber!!!! VAMP!!!!

Fingers crossed that your hair stays soft and bouncy after your set dries!

MAC Cyber is gorgeous but way to dark for my fair skin. It'll be really nice on your complexion.
