^^^Grow Zkitty!!! How far into your transition are you now???

hey girl! i am currently 68 weeks into my transition! I will be dealing with my own hair at least a week or so before i put them back in braids for the remainder of my transition.
 
obviously Im in a slow growth period.
**sigh**

my 1 year natcha-versary is in 15 weeks YAY
 
I'm still on track for Dec 2011! I even got me a pretty pink ruler to keep up with my progress. I'm so pumped. I'm sooo glad I decided to transition, my hair really does seem to be doing much better than it did relaxed. I only have about 3 inches of relaxed ends left up top.

I'll be going back into kinky twists in a couple of weeks. I was pretty lax about using heat whenever I wanted and wearing it out for the 1st year of transitioning. But now, that I got my eyes on APL, I'm buckling down for the next 16 months. I got my game face on!
 
hey i wanted to know if anyone had luck with getting a bun even though they were not apl yet? i am like 2 inches away from apl but im also transitioning. just curious
 
I've seen a few ladies with NL and SL lenght hair pull off a cute high bun so I'm sure with you being close to APL, you can do it as well.
 
my name is not on the list and i really wanna be part of the class. I pm'ed you.

checking in
i think i made SL (don't know dor sure til i relax in january) and i have 5 inches til apl so mabe a year from now so i should make APL by september 2011 give or take a month.
 
I can get a bun but I like my buns pretty big so I make mine using a phony pony. This gives me a chance to not touch my ends so I just put my hair in a baggy under the bun to keep ends moisturized I am also transitioning. I can also get a cute bun by roller setting and pinning my hair up into a cute bun.

OP, Can name please be added 2. I also pm'd u.

Thanks

Til the cows come home. I've had several trims, and one big cut from a foolish stylist back in April, so I really don't have much relaxed hair left at all. The back half is all natural. And about 3 inches of relaxed ends left up top.

I was really taking a look at how choppy my back layers are yesterday and its gonna be extremely hard for all those layers to make APL in 2011. Some of them need like almost 8 inches to make APL.
 
College life is really takes a toll on my hair. I just don't have the time to take care of it like I should. I'm trying but I'm experiencing more breakage than usual. I guess I really have to get a regimen going that works into my schedule.

YAY :reddancer: thanks

checking in:
i am "bunning" (ponytail with ends tucked in) basically 24/7. I am getting very bored with my hair and i am getting the urge to relax (2 months and maybe 2 weeks or 1 post) and i have a mini afro thing going on and my buns are not looking too good. I have things to take care of, so i can't buy weaves/wigs as of now :sad:

what else can i do guys?

^^i'll try it, i just always thought my hair is too short for a twist/braid out. Always thought you had to be @ least APL for it to look good

HI, i'm checking in.

I'm trying something different with my hair. For some odd reason, last weekend I started wetting my hair everytime I would shower and then bun it when it's damped. So I have been doing that all week but i also included a light protein moisturizer and oil.

hey ladies! i got my hair out of the braids and into something.. because my hair is soooo thick beyond belief :nono:getting it into a real serios ponytail would cause to much pulling and tugging:blush:. so i just used a stretchy headband and got what i could get into the headband. it works for now but there are times in want to take it out and touch my scalp. so here r two pics.

hey ladies...

i have been taking a swimming class at school and i hate when my hair gets wet. is there any way to prevent damage from the water that doesn't involved washing all the time because my hair is a hot mess when its wet. i was thinking of just getting braids and putting on a swim cap... any suggestions???

thanks...
 
Hey everyone, I did a search and destroy and omg but I'm glad I did it. Now I just have to baby my hair with the juice and I think I'll make it

There are plenty of threads about this on the forum. Just use the search function :)

I have read in those threads that women put conditioner in there are and wet their hair before they get in the pool
