One Year Length Check Relaxed to Transitioning

[MissMusic]

A year ago I got my last relaxer, and I thought I would share my progress.

I am continuing to transition by way of the Crown and Glory Method. I thought I would cut my hair at the end of this year, but with the length retention I have achieved transitioning, this may just become a long transition. Regardless, this year in hair has been good to me, my hair touches BSL. I flat ironed my hair in the later shots, but my natural hair is so very resistant to heat, so that is as flat as it would get with a flat iron.

Wow, you've had great growth/retention. When I decided to bc after 5 months of transitioning, there wasn't that much to chop. I think the relaxed ends had already committed suicide before the scissors could reach them.

Congratulations! You've done a great job retaining your length. *drops head in shame for not retaining as much*
