Week 23 Post | Texture Shots


As my hair continues to grow, I can now finally see the difference between my tex-laxed hair and my new growth.

It has taken me up to 5 months post relaxer to see the difference.

The back of my head has a tight kinky texture

The back of my hair is a tightly coiled




The crown has a more defined zig-zag pattern

The blue line is where my tex-laxed meets my NG


The sides and the front of my hair also has a kink but much looser than then back of my head

Very loose coil

My ‘curl’ pattern is a 4C

Transition| Week 0-21 Post


This week has marked the start of my 5th month (21 weeks) into my transition. Having been able to stretch my relaxer up to 23 weeks, this is really just as good as stretching my relaxer.

I have not really been experimenting a great deal with my hair at all. It is currently at a very weird length, and I cannot do much with it except twist outs. Everything else requires lots of gel and hair pins.

At this stage as my tex-lax hair is very 'under-processed'; I cannot tell how much new growth I have, it almost feels like am at 9-12 weeks post relaxer.

I am currently using 3 products on my hair, 2 products from Lush, a honey shampoo bar 'Honey I washed my hair' and a Hair moisturiser 'R&B Moisturiser' which I got in Paris, however, these are also stocked in London. This has been the most expensive natural based moisturiser I have got, and I really hope my hair loves me for it.



My new goodies!



My all time favourite conditioner removes the same ORS Replenshing Conditioner, and ORS HaiRepair Conditioner.



The plan for the next 20 weeks, is it get a professional haircut, currently, my hair is here, there, everywhere, with my DIY attempts are cutting it a few weeks ago.

I find I have stray hairs in all directions that I am constantly cutting off my hair almost every fortnight. So, I  am currently on operation 'find a stylist in London' or long term proactive style my hair.

Looking around it really does look like so many people are on transitions and BCing everywhere.
