2013: Transition Accomplished!

A certain someone home on winter break has been commandeering the laptop, so I'm finally logging on to post the final results of my transition to natural!

I had originally planned to take 2 years to transition via extensions but decided to cut it a year short last month after seeing the progress my hair has made. I've come a long way!

Here's a few snapshots of my hair this year:


This was last month getting my last extensions taken down, remaining relaxed hair cut out and my natural hair blown dry, pressed (edges) and flat ironed:



I'm very thankful to Reggie and his team at The Hair Lounge that the health of my hair was maintained especially my edges. I've seen so many women post-extensions that have no hairline to speak of and this was definitely a concern of mine. Hooray for edges!

Here's a video of two natural styles provided by The Hair Lounge and by Romel at Blow-Out (formerly Image is Everything) - I reviewed both salons here:



Thank you for following along on my hair journey, and I look forward to experimenting with more styles and techniques throughout 2014!
