When Transitioning Goes W R O N G ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !


I remember it just like it was yesterday. It still makes me a bit sad to reminisce about it. On September 6, 2012 I lost just about all of my hair. [YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD BE PULLING AN AMBER ROSE RIGHT NOW]. For the longest time, I found myself blaming the braids for EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING. I regretted how it made my hair feel and look. My hair is very much damaged to the core. I have short pieces and long pieces all over my head. What I came to realize was that I took my braids out when I was exactly a little over three months. When I did my research again a few days ago, month three and four are the months where you experience the MOST breakage. [LET’S JUST SAY I EXPERIENCED THE MOST BREAKAGE AND THEN SOME]. My demarcation line where my natural hair met my relaxed hair got real. It made it much worst since they greeted each other under braids. That was probably not a good time to get braids while transitioning because month three and four are the toughest months. I know several of you are probably wondering, “Well what did she do afterwards? How is she maintaining her hair now?” Well here is what I’ve done….. I came up with several solutions to solving this problem. I was going to cut it all off and sport a short curly fro, get a nice short bob, or just let it deal and grow back out healthy and natural. I’ve decided to put the scissors down and let my hair grow out. [I MEAN IT’S ALREADY NECK LENGTH ANYWAY]. I think I have a pretty good length where my natural should grow out in about a year and a half. For month five and six I think I will sport the curly look that’s when my detangling process will be pretty tough. On a brighter note your girl is maintaining and I am not letting something so simple like hair ruin me. It’s just hair and it will grow back. Thanks for stopping byJ!!!!!
 

SN: If you decided to wear braids while transitioning WITHOUT the BC I prefer no type of braids unless it’s your real hair during Month 3 and 4 these two months are where it gets tough.
