Salon update

Since my last post, I've walked the Austin Heart Walk (3.1 miles) and 2-strand twist my hair and the morning of the event, I untwist and pinned them back.  When I twisted my hair it was not wet nor did I add any products.

8wks into the transition

My last relaxer was in Aug. 2012 after I committed to participate in the Austin Marathon (1/2 marathon) on Feb. 17th, 2013.

My first style was a roller set with some twist on my left side as that's the shorter since I cut it in the summer, really cute but didn't think I was going to transition to natural.  That style lasted for 1 1/2 wks.  I finally washed my own hair and twisted it with 2 strands and that lasted for 2 wks as well.

My key so far is to get a style that doesn't have to be maintained daily.  My flat irons are still rolled up, this is great news.  I use coconut oil, HCO and leave in conditioner and wear a hair bonnet in the evening.

Not having a relaxer at its due time seems strange but doable at this point.  My coils seems small, I'm anxious to see what they look like in 6 months.
