I believe they were very close! Mine was on October 8, 2008. Also, have you tried wet bunning? I can't make a bun on my hair once it's dry, but if I do it right out of the shower i am able to twist it and pin the ends under. I've been wearing my hair in a bun since I chopped at 17 months post, so I'm positive you can do it as well!

Mine was October 19th, cool!

I haven't tried that.. Only with a ponytail holder and then try to twist..:look:
Kinda makes sense how that doesn't work. Lol, I was seriously thinking to myself how you could bun at 17.5 months, but I couldn't! :grin:
 
I love your hair...I am currently transitioning and have been for 10 months...I was going to make it a one year transition, but now I am considering a longer one
 
Your hair is beautiful at that length!! Enjoy that wonderful shape before it gets longer and you miss it!

Shall I just get on with the pics?

Ohh all that hair! Over 7 inches in some places, but it was totally worth it.

Completely dry. I hadn't airdried my hair loose for the last year and a half, my dry texture is such a surprise to me!

So I rewet and bantu knotted for the night and wore my very first pony puff today! I just couldn't believe how fluffy it was! I expected something so much coarser.

I'm so glad I went through with it! My plan was to go 'till 20 months, but I figured, that half an inch won't matter much.. :grin:

Ladies from the transitioners thread, thank you so much for all the support and advice!
I can honestly say I enjoyed my transition and I'm happy I was a long termer, I don't feel overwhelmed and while it's too bad I can't make a bun, there's so many styles I can try (and if I fail I can pull it back into this pony).

Teehee! :D

GORGE!!!!!:grin:!!!!
 
OMG! Thank you sooo much. This is exactly what I needed.
I was planning to transition for 17 months (I am 9 months-post now) but I was just thinking of BC'ing earlier at the 12-month mark in August. Now I think I will continue on for the next 8 months because of this thread. Thanks for the inspiration!
 
your...hair...looks...GREAT!!! Love it, love it, LOVE IT! I can't wait to make 18 months so I can BC. I hope I have that much length.
 
Thank you so much!! :huggle:
I finally wore it out today, natural texture and everything. I was soo nervous and kept patting it lol, but as the day went by I got so many compliments, even from my family, so now I definitely feel more confident and I'm so glad I made this choice to go natural! :grin:
 
Beautiful, gorgeous, outrageously pretty head of hair! Congratulations to making it to the end of your transition. Enjoy your natural curls, work it and flaunt it girl! HHJ
