I'm starting my HCJ over again I relaxed my hair in 2011 and I'm already sick of it i miss thick hair, I cut my hair from BSL to APL and I plan on not cutting again until my natural hair reaches at least APL, I wish I never relaxed again, I hate starting over. But I'm excited and cannot wait to see my natural hair again!

Your natural hair was gorgeous! I think you're already helping me get over my craving for creamy crack right now.

i took pics today for the njoy challenge, so i figured i'd share them over in this thread too.... freshly washed and conditioned hair, no product (except for the ponytail - i used some leave-in before i put it up)....

pretty! I would have to place rollers or rods on the ends..... I would be tempted to cut the ends.....

Hi ladies! Got my hair straightened yesterday for a trim. To be honest...I'm missing my relaxer straight hair now. I think I'm better off avoiding getting my hair straightened if I'm going to make it through this transition. Anywho, here are the pics:

Beautiful hair and smile! I don't even look at old pics of my relaxed hair. I stay on Instagram looking for natural hair porn.

What ratio do you use in your ACV rinse? I have seborrheic dermatitis (which supposedly led (or still leading to) my hair loss) so it might not work. I do remember liking ACV rinses years ago when I first tried them but not sure why I stopped.

daviine I usually use1/4 cup acv to 2 cups water.

Well that was a waste of time! Smh....

Sorry your twistout didnt turn out well. What product did you use on it and did you set it on wet or dry hair? For me the products made all the difference, as well as perm rodding the ends. Keep practicing! As far as the breakage...I had the same problem but Ive noticed after doing a protein tx Im hardly losing any manipulating it. Im going to have to stay on top of protein it seems if I want to hang on to these ends long term.

Done with the process and I was so lazy and didnt feel like jumping in and out the shower that I just washed my hair in the sink.

It looks great!

Doesn't it feel good to know you can get relaxer straight hair without a relaxer though?

havilland · Sep 3, 2012

i am so mad at my hair right now and she and i are not speaking!

my ponytails always come out cute when i airdry them. of course i could care less when i am going to work if my hair looks good. but yesterday when we have somewhere to go, with people, real people, my hair acted an arse! she just pouted and frizzed and made me ashamed to be out with her!

i almost came home and relaxed my hair....thank God it was like midnight and i do not have any relaxer in the house that i would actually put on my hair. i have an old jar of Bantu....and ain't no way i'm putting that mess in my hair.....

le sigh......bad day in transition land.

Has anyone done mini braids and left them in for at least 4 weeks? Did they matt up on you?

It does feel great! To be honest, I didn't think my hair would get this straight once I started transitioning. I can't believe how well my hair is holding up.

I have with my own hair and I left them in for just about 4 weeks. My hair was actually easier to get through, as I took them out, but then again my hair isn't as thick as yours!

I have a sew in weave and i cut off my relaxed ends on my leave out. I will go ahead and cut the relaxed ends when i take out the sew in.

chrisanddonniesmommy · Sep 3, 2012

Hey, Ladies! I'm still here in lurking mode. I did a trim on my remaining relaxed ends yesterday. It's getting to the point where it's a more difficult to differentiate. So, I will leave that trim as the last one of 2012. I really feel that May 2013 (my third year of transition date) will be my last month. If I have any relaxed ends left, they are gone in one final swoop.

Keep up the good work and patience!

I'm still in the mix. Changed my Reggie and its. Working great.

MsDee14 · Sep 4, 2012

9.5 months post and I finally think I have a decent amount of new-growth. Still much more relaxed ends though!

Wow! That's a lot of new growth!!!

I think I'm a slow grower. Not sure bc I felt my hair grew fast when I was relaxed. Maybe bc I wasn't monitoring the growth. I just wanna BC already!

CandiceC · Sep 4, 2012

I'm 38 weeks post today. Or 9.5 months. Can't wait to get these kinky twists next week.

ResultsMayVary · Sep 4, 2012

11 months in and people are right, it gets much easier.
Most of the relaxed ends in the back are gone so I'm no longer dealing with scraggly ends. :grin:
