Getting back to natural... without the BIG CHOP! (A preteen's journey)

Introducing my youngest daughter, DW (12 years old)--

For the past 10 months, I have been transitioning DW from relaxed to natural.  I decided it was time to stop relaxing!  I have been natural for many years, and my oldest daughter, Asia from www.youtube.com/girlsloveglamour, has been natural since 2010 (transitioned for a year).  DW was ready for the journey, but had no desire to cut her hair off in a drastic big chop.  My plan is to transition her over a period of 24 months with regular trims.

This feels like a brand new journey because her natural hair texture is different from Asia's.  As a matter of fact, we all have different textures.   I like that though--  It is exciting finding different products that work with our different hair types!

This picture was taken at the 6 month mark.  Her official transition start date was April 1, 2012.
