Much love to you EnExitStageLeft!! I miss my pixie, but I will not cut my hair again! My dd and I are trying to get to APL by summer of 2015.
KiWiStyle, So glad you're back!! Congrats on your decision to transition to natural. I keep flipping back and forth about transitioning. My last stretch was 6 months and it went well. I just got so tired of it and I gave in to the creamy crack. Pray for me! So tired of going back and forth. Right now, I'm 9 weeks post and not sure when I'll relax. You need to PM me. How was your big bday party?
Shout out to Cattypus1, you did it and I love your hair.
shortdub78, I'm still here. I'll hang out with you, for a while

shortdub78 I saw your name and was like oh snap, how did I forget my ChiTown girl!! Hey what's going on with you? I know you were concerned about your baby weight, how's that going? What's new and different with your hair now?

Thanks girl GettingKinky and congrats on transitioning to natural!! I cut several inches off my bonelaxee ends on Monday to have a clean and even beginning. I do miss it already but its still enough (barely) to do my inverted French braid as a protective style. I called my mom to ask what my hair texture was like as a child and she said, " it was soft nappy...not tha t hard and rough nappy". LOL, needless to say I still don't know what my natural texture is like.

shortdub78 I'll pray for you girl but honestly we need to pray for each other because the thought of just stretching crossed my mind several times. The party was great, not what I had initially had in mind but it was perfect! I'll PM you.

Hey, you'll make it back to APL in no time! Do you have any PS plans? Are you going to transition with roller sets?
I'm at NL now. Trying to get to SL by January 2015. I cut it all off this past January b/c I wanted a fresh look and I had some damage at the nape from a weave I took out Dec. 2013. I'm back to wearing wigs. Also, I love crochet braids! I'm thinking about taking it 6 months at a time. I've been on this relaxed/natural roller coaster for over 2 years

xu93texas I have ways loved the fullness of your hair, I'm jealous! I can understand the rollercoaster but its like that sometimes to commit to such a daunting task. I have no plans but I should probably start doing roller sets because I'm walking around looking crazy.
ETA: WHOA, HOLD UP! Thats a lot of growth in only 6 months!!! You go girl!!!

Wigs girl. Not trying to do too much with the new growth. I got two that I wear. Come see us in the hide your hair challenge.

I wish I could do wigs regularly. My hairline is extremely sensitive and I sweat in my head so wigs are a no go for me. As the weather gets Cooler, I might start doing my satin wig cap underneath a beanie when I go out...I'm pretty much at home now so I don't have to have professional hair everyday.

I'm looking forward to getting those straight plates to see if they are able to stretch while keeping the curl pattern.

natural for good
Enjoying my transition thus far. 9-months post and still counting towards that 2year mark. It helps alot to hide away my hair for long periods of time. did these braids on Saturday, and hoping to keep them 'til mid-october.

I am one year and 2 weeks post. I don't even deal with my hair at all and I dont think I will for another 2years. Right now im in a kinky straight weave and I will keep this up until I dont feel bald with all the shrinkage. My hair feels like its ear length
I need to do better in my deep conditioning routine and find my hair vitamins. Mbl needs to come asap

I put my hair in about 8 plaits after adding my leave in then let my hair air dry and I was so surprised at how much it stretched my hair. There was no need to blow dry after I brushed each section with my new paddle brush. I didn't need to straighten it either but I decided to flat iron it so I could trim my ends and use my split ender. Banding was taking too long for me and I wasn't very good now that I have more growth. The only bad thing about air drying in plaits is you can't leave the house for quite a few hours lol. Hopefully this will keep me away from heat after my trim.
