12 Weeks Post Relaxer

My hair is sprouting like wildfire! But...I'm managing thank heavens. I've been sealing it every night and it does wonders with the texture and 2 hair types that I have now. It itches sooooo much lol. 3 months down 6 more to go! I'm only transitioning for 9 months...afterwards I'll do the BC and wear some sort of braids!

Your hair is in MUCH better condition than mine! I'm doing my first wash after removing (old) braids tomorrow. To make matters even worse, I'm using brand new products! My crazy self didn't look them up before I purchased them either. I'll give a review on them tomorrow. Sigh, wish me (my hair)luck. My hair gets Nap Pee, girl! I am so scared to get this wet! LOL
We can do this!!! Share tips, give advice, and comments (especially me while I go through withdrawal!)

i have a sew in, and all the hair that is braided is virgin hair now, never colored or permed, and omg, your hair looks so comb-able lol, mine is so thick and long that its ridiculous. word to relaxers, i love them, but since i dont wear my hair, it seems pointless(except when its getting combed out.) you definately dont need it doll, looking good.

it's so worth it... i have like 3 different textures going on but its still so much better... i was gettin relaxers since 11years old and in Dec of 2006 i got my LAST one... it took a while to grow out but i started doing twist sets on myself during the transition (try miss jessie's curly pudding, www.missjessies.com) i also had a sew in for a minute and did cornrows alot... looking good tho--keep it up, you'll never go back to the "creamy crack" (got that from my girl cocoa luv)
