When I got the "chop done, the stylist left some relaxed hair in spots mainly in the front. I have been cutting and clipping away. I think I've got it all out and then some. Last night while twisting my hair, I cut more than was necessary. I have vowed to leave the scissors alone.
My daughter is still transitioning. She had her professionally done for back to school. He did a roller set with flat twist in the front. When her curls fell, we pulled the back in two puffs and later one puff. This week, deep conditioned her hair. I am getting better with my styling. Her style for the week: flat two strand twists in the front with two strand twists in the back. I rolled the permed ends with the rod rollers. Next week she'll wear a twist out in the back. She doesn't want to cut her so I'm clipping about 1/2 inch at a time. She now has more natural hair than relaxed. Soon she will be 100%. I can't wait. I feel like I am still transitioning.
To do my twists this time, I put my hair in four sections after a conditioner wash and detangling. This created a part down the middle of my head this time. So I have a different look from the last set of twists. I have been trying to go without heabdands and wraps. I don't want to wear my hair line out. I've never had a problem with a thinning hairline and I don't want to create one now. The twists also keep from smoothing down the front which can be thinning. I am determined to keep my hair healthy and damage free.
I actually have almost two rolls of film to develop. So pics and more pics to come. I have been taking more of my daughter's transition lately. This is her ninth month. I'm hoping at the year mark I can clip the rest of her perm out. We'll see.
