Patience is a problem for many Blackfolk. We can't deal w/ transitions, which is why we go ahead and get that touch-up when the fear of more new growth coming in is too unbearable, or we take the drastic measure of cutting down to the new growth, for uniformity. Not cutting my hair at first was a good lesson in patience for me, and a lesson in transitioning, and the time it takes to do so. I would suggest a book from Oprah's Book Club:

What Looks Like Crazy on Any Other Day-Pearl Cleage. It touches on the topic of Blackfolk and transitioning very poignantly.
