It's done! I feel at peace lol
I'm sitting under the dryer with Aphogee 2 step in my hair
I forgot how much I hate the smell and feel of it

For a great protein treatment that doesn't have a funky smell you should try Nexxus Emergencee. It smells good and it has great slip to where you can actually comb it through your hair. I highly recommend it!

Finally here are the pics

Although I'm not surprised the shrinkage is crazy. I posted a picture in an earlier post. I'll probably wear a wash and go puff like this as my staple style. I'll try out twistouts and stuff and post pics

ETA I'm so happy!

Gorgeous! Your profile with short hair is striking! Congrats on your BC - you certainly earned it!

Thanks! i'll switch over to that when the Aphogee is done

Have you tried Sabino Moisture Block? I hear a lot of ladies raving about how well it does to prevent reversion. Good luck!

i agree with that

Ok so here's the thing.....I think I may be transitioning but I refuse to even consider cutting my hair till I reach my goal of WL next summer.

Am I still welcome here?

Pretty hair Foxglove! Your coilies are soo pretty!

 

[embracn_my_kee]

Well ... I'm 17 weeks post and this is a first!!! You all are so inspiring. I've been washing my hair once a week and deep conditioning when I do so...

I've also been applying good old Proclaim Coconut Oil Hair and Scalp Conditioner on the front and back of my head before I tie my hair at night and in the morning I hit my ends with Seyani's hair butter....

That's about as deep as my regimen gets....I really can't even decide if there's ONE shampoo/conditioner I like. *shrugs* I'm doing the half a wig thing until I learn at least ONE style from these youtube videos. I'll learn how to braid/twist ONE day. lol

Major congratulations go out to Foxglove and StephElise and all others who are having great success throughout their transition to natural hair.

 

[Stepiphanie]

Congrats on the BC Foxglove!! your hair looks great. I second the Emergencee recommendation as well, so much better then aphogee 2 step, IMO. Congrats again!!

i'm getting senegalese twists next week.
can you wash kanekalon hair? i am using that but i don't want my hair to tangle in it!

im almost 9 months post!

Yes, you can wash Kanekalon hair if you're wearing Senegalese Twists. I cowash and DC frequently and I wear STs.

 

[Platinum]

Congratulations Foxglove!


ETA, I'm 48 weeks post now!

 

[Grand Prix]

Foxglove, your texture is so pretty! I love it!!

 

[wontonfm]

I've been missing for quite sometime.. but as of Tuesday, I made 40 weeks post.. ... but i need to know how do i go about achieving a straight style.. my hair literally reverted w/in seconds.. how can i prevent that?? any advice would be helpful.. and keep up the good work ladies..

My best straight styles have been achieved using either Lacio Lacio or Salerm as a leave-in, a bit of moroccanoil or argan oil while blow drying and then chi silk infusion while flat ironing. I usually spray the KeraCare humidty spray after.

A lot of stuff yes but it works for me

Go FoxGlove! Lookin' good!!!

 

[Foxglove]

Sorry so many pics. I did twists last night for a twist out puff today. I'm so glad I waited this long bc the puff is definitely big enough for me

 

[Sequoia]

Congrats Foxglove! Your hair is beautiful!

 

[LoveCraze]

ITA!! Your puff is a wonderful size to be starting off with. How long was your transition again? 15 months? I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love it!!
@ 15 mths, that should put me in June for a BC. (Subject to change though)

Your hair looks fantastic, Foxglove! That is the perfect length to start out with...I hope I am so lucky!

 

[Scorpimini14720]

I haven't posted in eons, but I am 44 months post today!!!! I never would have thought I could go this long without a relaxer, and although I don't post much, I want you ladies to know that I could not have done it without the support of this website. Thank you

Foxglove, your hair is beautiful and thick. I can't wait to see your progress. I will be tuning in...

Beautiful hair, Foxglove! I am so encouraged by the lengths of ladies hair bc'ing a year and more post. It is very encouraging .

I wasn't able to get home this weekend. I was really looking forward to taking my Senegalese Twists out. Hopefully I'll get home within the next few days.

I am going to BC tomorrow. I am kind of scared, but I am ready to end this transition. I'll update tomorrow. I am one week short of 10 months and I have 3-4.5 inches of hair.
