How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I'm almost at 10 months. I'd love to hear how long everyone else has been transitioning.
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
Hello Napturally Curly,
CONGRATULATIONS on your 10 month journey. My daughter has been transitioning 11 months. I did not transition, I did the BC.

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
Congrats to you all on your transitioning! I transitioned for 11months before trimming off my permed ends. My plan was a to go a year but after seeing all the beautiful TWA's on twitter and other forums, I trimmed a month early.
Great job ladies!

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I transitioned for about 14 month. When ever I would 2 strand twist my hair I would trim off my relaxed ends. Then when I would get it straighten I would get more of my hair trimmed. I see a lot of Ladies who did the BC and I wish I was brave enough to do that at the time. But oh well. I am soooo in love w/being natural.

WOW! You guys really have the patience for transitioning! That is great! It took a lot for me to transition... I think I did it for 4 months... and even then I wasn't dealing with my hair I just got braids

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I transitioned for about 2 months. I had planned on going longer, but it was hard with so much new growth coming in. I kept feeling tempted to relax it.
So I chopped it off to keep me from relaxing.

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I lasted 10 months but I just had entirely too much growth to continue. Kudos to ladies that lasted longer!!

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
It´s been 4 months since I started transitioning and sometimes I dream that I just cut my hair down to the new growth lol
I won´t actually I wanna transition for a year and then see if I ´ll cut it off and rock my hair or continue to transition ...but so far I can say patience is none of the qualities I owe ^^

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
Wow, looks like 16 months is the record so far. Just like nmjharris, I cut a little bit every time I do my two strand twists. So I'm about about 50/50 now with percentage of natural and relaxed hair. Still don't know how long I will transition but for me it's gotten easier. Thank goodness for protective styles. Been wearing a lot of twists and beanies for protective styles. Thank goodness beanies are in style! I'm gathering quite the collection!!
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
If I wasnt so compulsive I would have transitioned but I was so eager to see my curl pattern, just to find out I dont even have a curl pattern! Just a ball of cotton!

LOL! Really? It looks like you have a curl pattern in your videos? That's OK girl, I have the same kind of hair so I will be rocking my cotton right along with ya!
8 month transitioner
I have been transitioning for 8 months. Although it can be difficult at times, I am learning how to care for my hair everyday. I recently cut about 3 inches ofF. I am about 75% natural. (yeah!!) This is my second mini chop. I will continue to do this until I am all natural. I dont think I'm brave enough to BC. I am getting impatient tho.

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I've been transitioning for 9 months. That plan is to bc on my birthday in April.
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I've been transitioning for 12 months. I have about 3 inches of perm left. I plan to do the LC (little chop) next month! I wanted to do the BC but my hubby wasn't hearing that!!
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I transitioned for 6 months I was going to transtion for a year but my natural hair won that battle. lol That last bit of relaxer on my head looked so bad it just had to go. I was getting tired of dealing with the two textures anyway.

How many inches will you cut off in your little chop?
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I've been transitioning since 7/27/2010 ... about 6 months.
It's getting tough, but I haven't mustered up the courage to BC.

Me either and I'm 10 months in. That's OK, take your time girl. It's YOUR journey.
Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I wanted to transition for a year and do the BC in November after I took my braids out last week and washed my hair I couldnt take the two different textures anymore so I did the BC myself at home it was so liberating!!!

Re: How Long Have You Been Transitioning?
I transitioned for six month with Micros. I was eager to BC because of the amount of growth that I saw when I would take the braids down to have them redone.
