Before I found this site, I never heard of the terms "stretching" or "transitioning". I would just get a texlax 2 or 3 times/yr. After discovering LHCF, I realized that I had no need for relaxers - so now I'm transitioning to natural. It's been 6 months since my last texlax and I've experienced no problems.
For the next year I have decided not to make any commitments, so right now I am Relaxed... considering transitioning... definitely stretching... going to see how it goes
