Hi Ladies -

This is my second go at this and regret not reading this site the first time. I think I would have done much better.

So it has been 9 weeks since my last perm and I'm not getting another. I cut my hair short last time a few weeks after a perm and just let my new hair grow in natural and kept it that way. I think the BC effect was difficult for me and so now with my hair just below my ears I don't want to BC again. I think I'm going to try the straw set route for a few weeks. I was considering micro braids but don't want to risk breakage around the edges. We'll see how the transition goes. I may end up BC'ing sooner than I'd like, but I do plan on getting braids later this fall if the length is not where I want it by then.

Praying all goes well....so far I've learned A LOT thanks to the experiences of the ladies on this site.....thanks so much.
