Okay ladies I am officially 5 months post relaxer!!! Woo hoo I just got finished washing my hair and I got so tired of my relaxed ends that I've almost cut them off completely! Yes I cut it! Needless to to say if I really knew what I was doing I'd probably be completely natural tonite. Yes my hair is uneven but I still have enough hair to grab and put in bantu knots. It is great to really start seeing my natural curls now. Since my hair is curling up so much I've decided to use the Granier Fructis Curl Cream tonight to see what the effects will be in the morning. When I was cutting the relaxed ends all I could hear in me head was the song "I see you true colors shining through..." Even though I really don't know how to cut my hair it felt soooo good to see those relaxed ends in the sink. LOL I'll upload a pic tomorrow so you ladies can see the results. I almost have a TWA. Til tomorrow ladies. Smooches!

Hi guys I hit my 5th month of transitioning jan. 1st. I started tranisitioning and was just getting blow outs once a month but decided due to fear of heat damage not to get it anymore so my last blow out was dec.1. I got a weave and kept in in ffor about 2 weeks but got sick of it and took it out. The first time i actually washed my hair without applying any heat to it was christmas day. I washed it twice that week because the products i used made my hair fill dirty and i didnt like it. This time my hair doesnt feel dirty, but ive been trying braid outs and twist outs. The problem is although my permed hair feels soft and mositured by new growth feels dry and brittle. has anyone else had this problem and if so did you find a solution. I'm really trying to make my hair all around soft and mositurized.

Do you deep condition your hair?

I just tried a carrot cholestrol deep condition the other day but after my hair dried it made my hair feel worst than before...it always made my hair feel so soft but this time it had the opposite affect

Hey ladies! Hit the 5th month mark a little over a week ago and it feels awesome. There's this sense of accomplishment like none other before, so there's definitely no turning back now. Last night I trimmed about an inch off and did a twist-out on wet hair after a much needed protein treatment and deep condish. These are the results(in my avi). Now I just need it to last a few days in this interesting(smh) texas weather.

Hey ladies! I'm new to this site and so glad I found it. Anyway...I am 5 months post relaxer, and I was so lost on what to do with my hair. I tried my first braidout 2 days ago, and it turned out great.

ladies... this 5 month mark is simply great for me... im really getting the itch to cut my hair after my last wash I took the time to really look at my hair and curls. I have so many and a few different kinds from waves to spirls to tight coils.. im loving it.. Im so happy that I decided to go natural! I know this sounds like a rant I'm just so in love with my hair. I hope everyone gets to have that "ahh I love my hair" moment[url=[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]][url=[/url[url=[url=https://servimg.com/view/16055155/6][You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]]

I am 5 months into my transistion...I am in the military and I have to wear my hair pulled up above my collar. Any suggestions on hairstyles? Also I work out most mornings and I found that my roots get very dry and tangled by the end of the week? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I am starting to feel like this is going to be too much for me to handle

I'm 5 months into my transition and LOVING it ! I see how my natural hair looks at this point coz I have a cutting problem loll I'm anxious to see what texture I have .. so far it looks like 4b/c >.> lol considering my dad and mom's hair i thought I'd have at least 3a? But I LOVE my hair anyway! lol .. I can't wait until I'm past a year .. I hope I can hold out without cutting it.
