I am actually in the middle of reading this ebook, and I am leaning more towards transitioning. I never thought my scalp issues could be because of my relaxers.

I'll be exactly 19 months on your chop date. I might do it then.
Yeah... this isn't happening.

Yes my dandruff stopped after I stopped relaxing! It was a crazy revelation because I lost a lot of hair using medicated shampoos for my dandruff when all I had to do was lay off the creamy crack.

My scalp issues continued through the first 10 months of my transition. I think the ACV and/or baking soda washes that I started with MHM stopped them completely. And I only really do them about once a month so I'm amazed. Years and years of flakes are a distant memory.

These 2 carols daughters products have transformed my hair. I was never a huge fan, frankly non of Lisa's products worked for me. But w/ new "better" ingredients, lower prices, new design, and bigger sizes... I couldn't resist.
The GF container, I want to make a DC concoction following MaiCurls.wordpress recipe. The ingredients were not too bad. They went for a more plant-base products so that's a plus.
My hair is oober soft and shiney using these 2 CD products.

finished flat ironning. i did the beautiful textures straightening system for the second time. im now in bed with saran wrap. ( i tried and i guess the wrap is not that good but i will see in the morning) 
it will last at least 2 weeks before i wash. i use almost no products throughout that time. . with this system last time i had no frizz when it was humid outside. hair stayed nice and neat. hope this time too !

Your hair came out great. I saw this at Walgreens today but didn't get it. I'm currently about 5 months post on a long stretch.

coolsista-paris you did a great job with the flat iron!
I just trimmed off another 2 inches. My bonelaxed ends are almost gone. I'm in not rush to get rid of my texlaxed hair. Here's my hair after my stylist flat ironed it. I don't have the patience or skill to try it myself.

Not too sure I'm going to make it, I wanted to transition for at least a year (I'm about 2 weeks from 6 months) but now it's breakage city. My relaxed ends seemed to have broken off completely at the front left of my hair, and it looks like it's happening to the right side as well. I can't seem to keep my new growth moisturized without suffocating my relaxed ends. I don't think I'd be comfortable with such short hair and I'm not a wig/weave kinda girl so. I have a steamer on it's way and some curlformers as well, maybe some new tools will get me out of this funk

I feel the same except I've only been doing this for two months. My hair just can't handle two different dramatic types. In hoping I can make it to 6 months like you. I almost BC'd today. But I only have an inch and a half. I'm also not a wig/weave type of person either. How do you usually wear your hair?

I'm jealous of those who can go any long amounts of time without breaking my hair laughs at me. Seems we're similar my hair always broke the longer I went without relaxing. I hope you make it too. Chopping is so tempting I don't want to do it and then regret it tho :/. Usually my hair is in a loose bun from failed twist and bantu knot outs.. I try not to do ponytails since the scrunchies pulls at my hair. What do you do?

thank you
my friend told me about ors straightening system (cheaper than the one i used yestereay but i know nothing about it). i might try it out in a few months.
il trying to see the difference of flat ironning without any of these.
last time My hair textur was looser when i shampooed after using this. hair was soft and so easy to detangle.
when i clarified the time after,my hair got back to normal . no loosened texture.

maymbe you should give it a try, i have 2 applications with that box. its says to not oversaturate. little goes a long way.
only thing is , in order to maintant the hair stretched, you must wash and condition with the shampoo and conditioner that goes with the kit.

maybe in should try going to a stylist at least once? they might be able to get very bouncy results on my hair.... ive got fine to medium strands...
i also would like to have a really really good flat iron! but dont know what to choose, what to search for...

dc like crazy! maybe try a medium protein once to strengthen.
do you use combs/ brushed. my first 9 months were zero breakage , i mostly finger detangled. manipulation veryyyyy low.
i sometimes put water to my hair and added oil or serum , it stayed moisturized.
i only clipped it up . (loose)

I just realized I made 15 months post last week (I've stopped really keeping track now).
My relaxed ends are hanging in there. My crown and edges still have the most relaxed ends at 4-7 inches. My nape will be natural first, I only have about 2-3 inches of relaxed ends left. With the way I trim off my ends (which I'm due for), it will definitely be the first to lose the straight parts.
My nape has also been concerning me lately though. 3-4 weeks ago I noticed that right at my LOD it's getting super puffy. My natural hair lays fine, the relaxed end lays fine, and then right where they meet it's puffy. Not sure what's happening there...any ideas?

I'm having a hard time with hairstyles at this point. I have just been doing a bun or ponytail rollerset and flat iron the roots. Those 2 seem to be the only thing that work forme right now.
