9 Months Post Relaxer

how much hair should u have at this stage in terms of inches

The average person grows about half an inch a month(this is what the experts say, there are always there unique individuals that grow less or more. God made us all different) So, given that you should have about 4.5 inches of new growth.HTH

I will be 9 months post relaxer tomorrow..YAYY!!!

Oh ok ok cool you did the big chop? wow... cool is that your hair natural in the pic? I really dont know how much growth I have but I'm not focusing on that...I think I might change my transition from 16 months to 2 years

Yes, I did the BC and in the pic I was relaxed. good luck with your transitioning journey!

I am 9 months into my second transitioning today. I have about 5 1/4 inches of new growth.

I know im not the only one into the 9 month of transition HELLO lol

Made it to nine months. Currently, in braids.

I'm 9 mths post relaxer today... I'm so excited. I mini-chopped yesterday, I found some adorable curls. I don'n think I'll be able to wait much longer for my BC. I wanted to wait until April, because I'm going south. But I want to cut next month instead. Wish me luck.

I am finally able to do a puff !

Here are my BC pics 12/28/09. to August.2010.

Ooo. Your hair looks all natural

January 23, 2011 marks 9 months off of the creamy crack - LOL! I never thought that I would make it this far. Although it is not easy, I do not believe that I will ever return to the perm.

I originally planned the BC for my 1 year anniversary (April 23rd), but I am experiencing extreme indecisiveness....some days I do not believe I have enough new growth to cut the remaining perm out and others, I am ready to get it over...see what my totally natural hair will bring. I really do not know what to do....HELP!

Hi DannyCurl,

Have you made any decisions regarding your BC? Truthfully speaking, I don't know if I will ever be ready to do it...which is why I should just do it! The problem is whenever I decide to take a leap of "faith," it doesn't necessarily turn out as expected....and not in a good way! LOL!

Lately, I have been doing 2 strand twists and rolling them... This style is helping me to feel somewhat comfortable with the limbo stage!

I am currently nine months going on 10 months in march. My last relaxer was in may 16, 2010. So far I have had 3 inches a growth since I measured it earlier this month. I am so excited about my translation. I have been feeling braidouts lately. Earlier in my transition I was doing roller sets, flexirods, Bantu knots and occasional straightening. But my I just do braid and twistouts and flat twist protective styles. I try to wash and condition every week and just started learning to deep condition about a month ago. I have also created a spray on leave in condition which consists of raw shea butter oil, vitamin e oil, albertos vow strawberries and cream moisture milks conditioner and some water in a spray bottle, which my hair loves. my current profile pic is my hair In a braidout w/ small rollers on the ends. That's how that look was achieved. Will post my current pic for my 10 mo anniversary soon. Happy growing

And I need to remeasure my new growth. May not be accurate lol

Hey guys I am 9 months and 2 days post-relaxer! I am loving it! I recently got my hair straighten, but I'm about to do another twist out on it! I love my curly fro!

Greetings All, I'm also into my 9th month of transition and luv'n my kink's, coils, curls, & waves.. I want to thank all you ladies for your support & your much needed tips. I don't have a planed date for my BC; but I'll know when the time is rite. I've worn my hair in an A-line Bob for years now which makes cutting weekly just a normal thing. I only have relaxed ends on about 1/4 of the top half of my head now. I'm just not ready for a TWA. I can't help but get excited about the day I'll be all natural. Thanks again for the encouragement

Hello to all my Curly Natural Beauties!! I'm new, brand spanking new to the site. ( just 5 minutes)LOL. It's been 9 months since my last relaxer and for the first time my hair is being to break at the line of demarkation. The only thing new tha I am doing is Henna. I did my first Henna in Feb'11 then another just yesterday. In that month, my hair has shed a great deal. So much so tha I am about to just go ahead and do the BC. Yet that was not the plan from the beginning. Can someone give me some advice on what I could be doing wrong or what I should try before I take that plunge and BC? Thanks in advance.
Miracles & Blessings!
