My long term transition update and challenges.
October 13, 2013
The bottom half of my hair and edges are currently 62
weeks post relaxer while my crown is 37 weeks post relaxer. I have a
lot of new growth and have been facing some challenges with my
transitioning hair. It was breaking a lot and had crazy tangles which
were just driving me crazy.

| 61 weeks of new growth at the back |
I knew I had to change something in my hair care
routine but just did not know what. After looking online for sometime
I decided to try out something new. I sectioned my hair into six
parts and de tangled these with my fingers and then proceeded to
apply the herbal essences hello hydration conditioner mixed with a
little olive oil on each section. I then covered my head with plastic
bag and let the conditioner sit on for at least 1Hour. The results
were just amazing!
The conditioner really did a great job de tangling
and softening my hair. For the first time in weeks there was very
little hair breakage and combing was just a breeze. I did not shampoo
my hair after that but it still felt moisturised, clean and easy to
manage. After rinsing the conditioner out I just put my hair in
twelve braids and then I rock a braid out or a braid out bun for the
rest of the week. To blend in the relaxed ends with the new growth I curl the ends with perm rods. It has been about four weeks since I started the
new routine and I am glad that I tried it out. I will be shampooing
my hair only once a month with a sulphate shampoo from now on.

Gahl Tip: Feel free to try out something new if
whatever you have been doing to your hair is not working like you
would like it to. sometimes just a small change will make a whole lot
of difference.

Your hair looks great. My hair tangles badly which is one reason I feel I am unable to stretch for longer periods, let alone transition. I am considering texlax though so I'll be looking to you for transitioning tips.
