Finally starting to get some hang time! My shrinkage won't let me be great :( I'm very pleased with how my hair is growing in. The shape still looks pretty good, which is what I wanted. Left pic is from July and the right pic is from December. I usually get .5 inches a month. I want to start taking a supplement.

Joining y'all in two days!!!!

Question: I transitioned using sew ins but now I'm worried I heat damaged my leave out. I wet it this evening and used some coconut oil on a piece and while it feels fuller and curlier at the base it's still very much straight. What do I do?? My hair appt for the BC is on Saturday. Do you think a full wash and condition will correct it?

I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!! Guys I can't believe I have a TWA, Lol! I love it...my texture is what it is and I can't change it but I feel really good about it! Im so excited about imparting more moisture by starting the MHM. I tried one of DD hair flowers but i wasnt feeling it, i don't think o know where to put it, lol...it just looked like I placed a flower on my head for no apparent reason at all. xu93texas shortdub78

It went well, so not what I expected from her website and FB page and my hair felt dry but overall it went well...oh yeah and a bit over priced. Sent from my SM-N900V using LHCF

Yes, these stylists are over priced. I paid a pretty penny the first time I BC. This time around my husband helped me cut it.

Thank you all so very much! It means a lot to have your support and encouraging words. I feel really good about my decision to BC early in my transition, I cannot imagine the shock of handling and learning my texture with 10 plus inches of hair.

How do you keep your curls to the front of your hair. I know it's a weird question and maybe I'm phrasing it wrong. But I try to shingle my hair so that the curls stay in the front; like a bang. But it always separates into my natural part which is a center part.

As my TWA has grown detangling has become a nightmare. I couldn't understand how people cleansed their hair in twists and still got it clean...I don't cleanse in twists but I detangle and plait with my DC still in before I rinse. That has made a huge difference in the detangling process, the size of the hair ball and the amount of time it takes to do it.
I forgot to add that I didn't even need a leave-in. I totally didn't even remember that until just now!

Y'all I'm super excited. I can finally put my hair in a struggle hair clip and I now need to section my hair when washing my hair :yay:

Sometimes it's the little things. I'm super excited to do an official length check for the new year. I'm still debating on what length challenge to join; if any. I plan on cutting it alittle more to shape it into some type of style and plus one side is significantly longer than the other.

i'm finding that if i lightly blow dry my hair, cornrow, then spritz with water and seal, i get fewer knots. i get no knots in the front/top of hair because that's the part i leave out--styling each day and twisting at night.

i have to say the half wig really helps....especially on those days when i contemplate giving up.

I'm starting to think that I am going to be in this thread for a long time. Anytime I am near water my hair automatically morphs into a TWA...

I straightened my hurr and i'm happy with my growth so far. I so wish that my curly hair was the same length as my straight hair. I did trim alittle to give my twa some shape. Im thinking about cutting my bangs; we'll see.

Beautiful hair!... Your hair is growing fast! How long was your hair when you BC?
