| Hey all! I'm still new to the transition process. But so far, its been really fun! I have co-washed daily and used infusium 23 and fructis long n strong leave in before putting it in a bun. When dry I use a little olive oil on the new growth. No heat. My hair has never been so soft! I can't stop touching it. I have about an inch and 1/2 in the front and almost three inches in the crown and in the back. There is a difference in the growth though. In the front and back area it is a tight wave pattern, ("s") in the other crown and middle it is a much larger wave pattern ("s"). I dont know why some spots are growing faster than the others or why the difference in texture, but i won't complain. I've been taking a multivitamin and biotin for about two months now. I can't wait to be all natural! |

I don't think I could ever wash my hair everyday. It takes way too long too dry. The only time it would be dry is at night. Unless I washed it every night instead. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

I run college track so I have to run everyday. I don't like to have funky and sweaty hair, so washing it everyday is great to me. In a few weeks I'm putting my hair in braids again though. |

Congrats on your journey to natural! I like Fructis also. I'm using Dove now and it's real good. ------------- |

I tried dove, although I did like the results and scent, it made my hair stay wet all day...it never dried. I had to return to suave. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

I noticed that too cmesweet! Maybe that's why mine took all day to dry. I love the scent though.
