whosthatcurl LOL! I refuse to admit it!
I do know I'm going to do a bit of cut and color this upcoming week. I just have not figured out when I will texlax and my hair is behaving.
Let me blame it on divachyk

yall stop. I'm not yet transitioning. Never say never though. Honestly, my rationale for how I ended up 6 months post has shifted multiple times. First, I was trying to get my hair to a healthier state because my Komaza analysis was very eye opening. Then, I started wearing wigs to gain a few more weeks for stretching but wigs took me to a new high. As of late, I've been pressing with stretching simply because my hair is doing good so why rock the boat. Up outta nowhere then boom, my sister was diagnosed with scarring alopecia and is forced to go natural. She has had some adjustment issues to wearing wigs so I've been hitting the wigs even harder to support her cause. Fast forward through alladat, I'm at 6 months post. I'll definitely relax when the going gets tough. If by chance that never occurs, I will be forced to make some decisions.
ETA: thank yall for the love & support. But, I have way more relaxed than natural or texlaxed.

Omgness, I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis for your sister. No matter the decision, I'll support you 100%. I'll pray for your sister. You still have luscious new growth

A fast 3 weeks post although it feels like 8 weeks post in some areas (thanks to Megatek mix and sulfur oil), at least 12 weeks to go

I am 6 weeks and 1 day post. My hair is thicker than usual I think because I did a couple of weeks of inversion using peppermint oil.
I hope to make it to 12 weeks.
When I do relax, I will self relax with MBB Normal.

60 weeks (15 months) tomorrow. Will keep hanging out over here because all those choppers over in the long term transitioners thread have my fingers reaching for scissors.
PSA for those having detangling issues: I bought Kinky Curly Knot Today and used with my last wash. With just a quarter size amount on each section (4) my hair detangled like butter with a hot knife. My relaxed hair is prone to tangling not my new growth so I'm thinking this may help those that are having issues at 6-8 week point.
