How'd you handle the line of demarcation?
very carefully. I didn't have any breakage or damage. Just keep the area moisturized.

I don't know
I will say that I am in no rush to relax it again because the products I have been using lately have made such a big difference. I will probably just stretch longer at least for the time being. I am going to try to make it until August or September for my next relaxer.

Well whatever you decide to do, you know you have my support. I will definitely encourage the longer relaxer stretches for sure. I just completed a 21 week stretch so I know the feeeling. I was trying to get to 26 weeks but my hair simply was not behaving like I'd hoped it would and I didn't want to risk losing all that growth progress I gained.
Sometimes, you just have to know when to act and which action to take that's in your hair's best interest at that time. This is where we often go wrong and as a result risk losing more than we've gained

Ain't that the truth
Thanks for the support.I think I am more prepared this time around. I have gotten into a groove with my regime and I want to see where it will go. Now that my hair can be easily pulled up, I have more styling options. Also, this last relaxer and using ovation has improved my hair texture and feel. I think I can make it. I will just keep going until I am risking the bolded. Then I will relax.
I guess I did. Sorta. This was before I knew the word "transitioning" or even the concept. My intention wasn't necessarily to stop perming, it was just more costly to go to the salon and we could press at home and we were mainly a press-and-curl family anyway. So I just stopped perming and started pressing. Then I got braids. At some point my hair was all natural. But it wasn't until I stopped straightening regular that "my hair started growing out nappier," as I told my mother at the time. The natural hair before was my trained texture, the later texture was my non-trained one.

the first 9 months i did religiously...got dominican blowouts and flatironed. i didnt know how much new growth i had until i went to brazil for 2 weeks in january and even after i got back i continued the heat. this ended in april or so when i began wearing my hair curly more often but i have flat ironed maybe 3x since then and had one unexpected (read: free) blowout.
