This is how I got to 6 months....I know products have changed and it will probably be easier than it was when my mom was fighting with my hair as a child but it makes no sense to transition if I'm going to be fighting my poof wearing it straight all of the time. Decisions,decisions indeed!

This is the only thing about going natural that makes me anxious. I would love to be a straight haired natural 100% of the time but then I think about the summer months and stressing about the puffiness and it bothers me.

I am still "transitioning" in the sense that I'm letting my hair have a break and I'm not relaxing any time soon. If anything, it'll be in September when I'm 7 months post. Hoping to gain 2 inches of growth between now and then.

Will texlax at 20 weeks post. I experienced breakage when I stretched 6 mos, so I'm aiming for 5 this time.

I'm in the same boat…I'm not exactly sure how many weeks post I am but I'm pretty sure my last relaxer was sometime in December so….like 26 weeks or so…Right now I'm just stretching indefinitely. I'm using sew ins as my protective style until I reach waist length (December 2015)….my hair flat irons really well so, for now I'll just keep stretching and flat ironing the leave out 1x a week.
