I'm Transitioning!

So I have decided to transition...again. LOL. I have stocked several natural blogs, fotki's, hairboards, you name it ive stocked it. I am now armed with an abundance of info.

I transitioned 3 times in the past and the last time getting to about 18months and 100% natural and guess what I went and got a relaxer. This time I am armed with alot more knowledge about products and most importantly "my" hair. I am confident that I will make it this time. My goal is to transition for a minimum of 18 months before cutting all relaxer ends off. I will cut little by little just to keep breakage at a minimum. So fare I have been wearing rollerset, rodset, and braid/twist outs. Hopefully by the end of the year I can start wearing donut buns :-)

I am also thinking about getting micros. I accidently transitioned with micros in highschool and some college but did not know what to do with my hair after I took my braids out. Now that I think about it I could have been natural for about 3-5 years only if I had not that creamy crack back in my hair!

Well this time I am going to be patient and I want to be 100% natural in 2 years

My Goal:
1. No BC (Big chop) before 18 months of new growth
2. No Direct Heat by 6 months and on.
3. No Chemicals
4. No Breakage
5. Trim 1 inch every 3-4 months only

Last Relaxer: April 8, 2009
Currently: 3 Months Post (12 weeks)

Wash Day

So I started a new regi. I wanted to simplify the products that I use and stop buying so many new things. So I repurchased Hair One which is Sally's Generice Version of Wen. Hair One can be used for everything but I added the cholesterol for a light protein. So this is what I done.

-Clarified my hair with Baking Soda and Water to give my hair a fresh start so that my rpoducts can absorb better.
-Washed my hair with Hair One while in the shower and let it sit for teh duration of my shower.
-Deep Condictioned (DC) with LeKair Cholesterol Plus for 20min w/o heat as a light protein treatment.
-Used Hair One as my leave in and Air Dried
-Once Airdried I Greased Scalp EVCO (Extra Virgin Coconut Oil)
-Moisturized w/ Silkening Childs and made 2 plaits for a braid out in the morning.

Well in the morning I lightly spritz with water and took down the braids and rocked a beautiful braidout. So happy!!!

Flexi Rod

So I luv Curls but have never tried a Flexi Rod Set. So I went to my local BSS and found some. They were in packs of 6 for $5 not too bad. I bought a total of 5 packs which turned out to be enough for the front so I had to get creative thats when I thought about straws. I luved the results. The curls were perfect and they held for 4 days and now I will be washing out tonight. This will be my summer low Manipulation style! I will post picks next week once I do another set and details of the products that I used.

Co-Wash

I did a co-wash yesterday after my workout with my favorite V05 Kiwi Cleansing Conditioner. This conditioner does not leave my hair sticky like the moisture milk line but it washes away clean and it smell heavenly also its on .99. Cant beat that. After the co-wash I spaid my Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor along with my braid Spray. My hair has been really loving this combination. Oh forgot to say I am in Kinky twist right now. I will be taking them out this weekend to do a good Deep Conditioning.
