6 weeks till I Big Chop? Here's what my hair is looking like...

Prior to washing, Curl pattern, Nape shrinkage after washing, Braided up!

I have definitely got the hang of transitioning long term, it's funny I have 6 weeks left to BC but I definitely feel I could transition for longer. But knowing my curiosity I doubt I'd be able to past 1 year post relaxer. My nape is basically natural and my relaxed ends are hanging on for dear life (this is b/c my nape is shorter as a relaxer broke off a lot of the length). The braids look so thick! I'm very happy with the condition of my hair and the fact I have not been to a stylist in 11 months. DIY is the best!

I just HAD to do it I had to...

Flat iron my new growth! It's the first time I've done this since the first week of December so it's not too bad. First use of direct heat in 2011. It's a jungle in there...

I actually did a good job compared to the last time, I used my Tresemme Heat Protectant and GHD Salon Styler to straighten. Here's a comparison of the new growth and flat ironed hair

My hair's so thick! (type 4A/4B)

Believe me I'm counting down the days till my corrective relaxer, 15 days and counting! I just received my Caruso roller set in the post today so look out for a future post on that!
