Checking in again, 51 weeks post and it's going great.
I am over my "I hate my hair' episode.
Every now and again I get hair-depressed, so I flatironed my hair.
HATED IT! I washed my hair and fell in love with it again.
So, I'm staying on the narrow path and going for year 2!!!

Oct 20th will be my one yr. anniversary.
This is like the 5th time that I've transitioned. I actually cut all of my relaxer out. Couldn't stand the 2 different textures. Keep in mind that I'm transitioning w/ a half wig. Easier for me to do it this way.
MegaTek sure has helped my hair grow back a lot quicker. Its already to the bottom of my neck with no relaxer.

Newbie her to the transitioners forum. (Silent lurker) I am currently 17 weeks post and so far this is the longest I have transitioned. The 1st time I went natural i transitioned for 3 mos and BC. I plan to transition for 1.5 to 2 years or till my natural hair is apl stretched. Currently rockn a net weave but I am itchin for somethin different. What styles have you ladies been using to get u thru such long transitions?
Hmmm...are your straightening very often? I'm at 11 1/2 mos and it's getting interesting. Do you look specifically for products containing keratin? What are some examples? I'm just trying to fight the urge to texlax again.

I was referring to the formaldehyde free, much weaker version of the BKT. I've posted on most of those threads about how wonderful it is. If ur itching to relax - its the best compromise - same feeling of texlax accept it only lasts two months. You never lose any curl definition, but straightening is a breeze. i dont straighten often though - maybe once every month or two. When it comes to actual shampoo and conditioner, i just apply conditioner like a relaxer and it seems to be working.... but come to think of it - i really do like a conditioner that has keratin in it - Joico.

Not sure if I posted here before, so I might be checking in again . I'm about 14-15 months post, and I plan on doing the BC once it gets warmer. For now, I'll be doing sew-ins/wigs/etc.

I decided a couple a months ago to transition to natural. I'm currently 26 weeks post. I'm not sure when I want to BC.

I'm currently 22 wks post and it hasn't been that bad. Due to a surgery a lot of my hair has shed so I don't have to deal with the thickness that I had when I transitioned 2 years ago. (HELL!) Hopefully the hair will start to grow back so I can get my beloved afro. I usually comb once a week and wear buns or cornrows under a fall. That seems to be the easiest way because I also hit the gym everyday.
