Bublnbrnsuga, I have also been transitioning for over a year now, (last touch up, Nov. 17, 2002). I've been getting my hair pressed every 2 weeks or sometimes once a month. I really loved your braid outs, and the natural twist with the clips. Now I guess I don't have to rely on the pressing comb for a cute style.I know and have heard that too much heat styling can be damaging, and I'm about to start a low-heat/no-heat regime for the NEW YEAR. You and I have a very similar hair texture, and looking at your photos has really given me hope on how to style non-pressed hair. THANKS!

Good for you! I am happy you are laying down the pressing comb for a while-definite damage. The first few months seem more challenging because there's an overwhelming amount of permed hair and a small amount of new growth.If you want your hair straightened sometimes,I would recommend you rollerset your hair and try it without setting lotion.
