A couple years back I started noticing I was losing my edges. I basically tried everything under the sun, but nothing helped. At that time I was relaxed and I began to notice I would make some progress but then I would get a relaxer and I'd be back to where I started.
I decided after my touch up in March to transition, but my hair became very badly tangled and I let a stylist talk me into getting a relaxer in June. I also got my hair cut into a pixie cut because the knots were impossible to get out. Edges were nonexistent after that touch up so I decided that was it and have not had a relaxer since 6/18 and cut out all the relaxer 9/29 or there abouts.
Since then I just make sure I moisturize and seal twice a day, always sleep in my silk scarf, and deep condition weekly. I also baby my edges. Honestly, this isn't any different than what I was doing when I was relaxed.
The progress is slow but I believe you can see it.

In my Fotki, the first photo is in March after 2nd to last relaxer. Next photo was end of August / beginning of September about 2 months after last relaxer. And the last photo was just the other day. Maybe a week ago.
I have pics of the other side but no current pics of the other side and I'm on my tablet and lazy, but I will update this.
