Hi, I’m new to transitioning. I made my decision Dec. 4th 2009 not to get retouched. I’m currently trying products to help with my dry hair. I currently have just been frenchbraiding my hair after washing and wearing wigs to work. I am about to turn 52 and I work as a nurse. I wrestled with the decision to go natural for so long. I kept thinking about all the length of time I have been putting chemicals on my hair, possibly for over 30 years. Thats just too long. I came across you site while reviewing kinky curly products. I have a couple of questions. What is oil rinsing? Do you state your date of transitioning from the time you last had a touch up or fromwhen you were suppose to get your touch up? I love your site. I’ve been clued to the computer for about 3 hours just reading. Thanks so much for taking the time to inform and enlighten. I’m also trying to get use to blogs and etc. Thanks again for all your info.
Thanks for the info, your hair looks so healthy and beautiful. I can’t wait til I’m at that point. At what point would you say you started to see your curl pattern?
Thanks for you web site. I’ve been natural for 1 1/2 and love it. I do miss having straight hair at times and just simply flat iron it. I’m surprised how long it stays straight. Right now it’s winter time in Chicago, so I don’t have to worry about humidty. I’m going to cruz your site for more information. I’m struggling with dryness and have been using Carol’s Daughter, but it’s very expensive. Do you have any insight to the Kinky Kurl hair product? Your hair looks georgous and very healthy.
Shirley, my texture was always there. It was enhanced by moisture and styling techniques.

Shirley, I have a post on oil rinsing here:

The day I BC’d in April 08 was when I count myself as being fully natural. I start the date of transition when I got my last perm.
