I just want to be clear, are you referring to vegetable glycerin? Which I'm told is better for your hair.

[Kinkycoils]

Yes, I was referring to veggie glycerin.

Hi! How long do you think a person should transition before u do the big chop.. can cut it off GRADUALLY before actually chopping it all off. Because i have been transitioning for about 4 months. i had a short cut.. like a lil bob the back was tapered, so basically the back of my hair is natural , but the sides and the top still have perm on it. i started to chop some ends off a few days ago, (i couldn't do it all, i got scared) so went to braid it in some corn rows in a bun. what do u think

[Kinkycoils]

You can transition for as long as you want, but gradually cut the ends if you choose to just gradually transition. Personally I think why hang on to those straight crazy ends. Just cut it or get it cut. Your a pretty girl you'll look great!

any health food store if you haven't already found it... make sure its vegetable and not plain glycerin..

Just did my BC. Hair is about an inch and a half or so.. Thanks for the tips.. Where can I find veggie glycerin?

Your hair look great.I haven't had a relaxer in 3 months (just because i haven't felt like putting one in) and now i'm going to keep it that way and transition back to my natural hair.For me personally, i wouldn't do the BC because i know it wouldn't look right on me (imagine Tyra banks with short hair) not a good look...lol

Love your hair! I did the same exact thing to my hair. I'm having trouble keeping the back twisted, they tend to come loose very easily. Any suggestions? Anywho, very beautiful look for you!

I transitioned for three months before I chopped in 2002. I've since chopped my hair 3x just because. Once you do it, it's not as big a deal as you orginal thought.

how long did you transition for?? im scared :(

I'm addictive in going natural as I were when I went for relaxer touch ups!! I got kinky twists in yesterday but at the end of February, they are coming out as well as the last inch of permed ends. I'm sooo ready. Continued blessings to you :)
