I won't say never. I'm an accidental transitioner. In 2009, I tried BKT. And after the first application, I decided to stop relaxing since BKT gave me the same result. Since then, I've just been bunning, using 1/2 wigs, etc during the week for work and my hair feels good. On the weekend I play around a bit with natural styles but since I have two textures, I really haven't done much. Also, the hair on the top of my head is really quite a different texture than the rest and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I always relaxed that portion for a shorter period of time due to the texture but I had no idea there was such a difference.
Anyway...
Since I was relaxing while on this board, my hair wasn't doing poorly. I'd learned enough about types of relaxers, moisture, protein, etc that my hair was the healthiest it had ever been. I hadn't had any burns, etc in years and years. But it does feel better now. I'm going to just keep using protective styles, etc until August when I reach the 2 year anniversary of my last relaxer. Then, maybe I'll cut off what's left of the relaxed hair... or... who knows.
