Hi, I am transitioning and only 9.5 weeks post but I've never had really short hair to play with... My plan is to transition for at least a year but I was wondering, "What if I BC at 6/7 months?"...

So please if you BC'd around 6/7 months post or earlier, please post pics...

TIA!

I BC'd in 05 @ 6/7 months:



This pic was taken during the chop (by my dad, who was 1000% against me cutting my long hair off...but then came and lent a hand when he saw me snipping away hehe) i still had some relaxed bits to chop off on the top, but the back was pretty much done at this point.


(please note, i am no longer natural, i am now transitioning again so don't get confused by the siggie n stats there)

Your natural hair is really nice. Wow... you've been transitioning since 2007?

I BC'd around 6-7 months. This is maybe a week or two after.


wow! that's some growth for 6 months (I love your hair and blog by the way)...I wonder if shrinkage has anything to do with why my hair now still looks like its only 3 months post relaxer...:perplexed

It just look like a lot because it was picked out. I only had about 3-3.5 inches. Here's another picture 2 (?) months later with shrinkage:

Thank you!!!!

Yes, August 2007, going for at least 24 months but hopefully till 12/31/09

What's your goal?

My goal is 1-1.5 years but I have a feeling in December, I'll just throw in the towel and BC.

Well done - you've been transitioning for a longgggg time!

You can definitely make it that long.

I honestly didn't think I could do it.... after the 7th/8th month, it was just...easy.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Well my original plan was to do a 6 month to a year transition, but after 3 1/2 months (just over 15 weeks to be exact) I couldn't take it anymore! So, on Feb. 16th I BC'D and I'm lovin' it! :yep:

I was going to wait a few months to share after I have some progress, but oh well, maybe this will encourage you anyway... or someone like so many of the ladies encouraged me.

You think so? Wow thanks! Oh and you are very welcome. When I can figure out how to do it, I'm going to list my regimen in my album. I loooove the products I'm using!

I BC'd after 3 months of transitioning



This puff was taken in November





It's a little bit longer now...long enough to kind of plop to the side when I do a puff, lol

I did - would not do it again.

It grew fast, but overall I do not think it was a good look on me :nono:

This was right after BC - at 6 mos...
