:yep: 9 weeks post today and going strong. I'm shocked my hair hasn't gone on strike yet. I'm used to relaxers every 6-7 weeks, but no more of that for me.


Time to TRANSITION!!!!!!
 
12 wks post today. Relax next Friday. Going the use the last of my Silk Elements with Shea Butter in Mild. Then I'm switching to regular because mild isn't strong enough. I have one weak side; which is the right. It's thinner and doesn't look as good when styled as the left side. It does its own thing and I hate it. You can see that it's thinner then the left side also. :-(
 
12 weeks into a 16 week stretch. Last stretch I tried for 12 weeks and only made it to 9, but this stretch seems so much easier that I'm even contemplating taking it to 24 weeks.:grin: That would be a new record for me, the longest I've ever stretched was 16 weeks.
 
I'm 13 wks on Sunday. I told my mum I want to stretch for 16 wks and she was like go further if your can. She really supports my HHJ, she is the best:luv2:
 
Bach PM'd me and said she's transitioning! Congrats bach. Disregard her message about relaxing next week guys :)

:look:
 
4 weeks post and I'm going for 20 so I can have a fresh relaxer for my 21st!! :party: Never gone this long before- I was just goin to split it into 10 weeks but thought I've surpassed that level now I might aswell go for it.
 
!6 weeks. I texlax only about 7-10 minutes (max, so lightly) and there's not much difference between my new growth and the rest. I have some straight ends in the crown and front I'm slowly cutting out. I am really on the fence about texlaxing again at all. I even bought the relaxer, but otice I get more and more nervous each time I approach the day to apply (I DIY). I think I'm afraid I'll mess up one day, so I think I'll hold out until I decide whether I want to just go on a transition, so TBC.....
 
The last time I relaxed was October 30, 2009.
I am 34 weeks post, that's 8 months and 2 weeks. I will be 9 months which is 36 weeks on July 10, 2010.:grin:
I have 18 more weeks to go until my 1 year transtion. This is the longest that I have ever not permed my hair in my whole life. :blush: I really would like to go for another 2 years, and do not BC at all. By then I should be MBL. I only want to search and destroy when I have to.
The way I have been transtioning is by wearing my hair in circular cornrows under my synthetic wig. The first thing I did was get rid of all the relaxer in the house, and instead of picking up a new relaxer I just pick up more DC's or either by something expensive, like OCT so that way I wouldn't have the money to think about a relaxer. When I want to see my hair straight, I will take down my cornrows and clearify, then protein treat, then DC for moisture, then roller-set, then maybe just blow dry the roots or just flat iron the roots :nono: and then just wrap. That is what I have been doing like every 2 to 3 months, since I started the transtion.
I just started DCing over night, every night since Friday June 26, 2010 :lick: and I am loving it. I will do this for the rest of my 18 weeks because, to me the longer into your transtion the more moisture you need.
