This week I tried my hair in 2 pony tails this week and the reversion wasn't so bad (only around the edges) but I only lifted so I didn't sweat too much. I'll have to try a scarf next time I straighten my hair in 8 weeks.

Thanks. It is possible that once my transition is over and I can wear a wash n go or a braidout I may not worry about wearing my hair straight. When my hair isn't straight I don't miss it, but when it is straight I realize how much I really like it.

Thanks! It is way easy. I could do it without a mirror in a few minutes. Lol. Pony, sock ring, spread hair, tighter pony over.Thanks! I love your bun too - if only I could get the sock bun thing down.

What am I doing?
The immediately after (please excuse the conditioner in my hair):
I couldn't take the 2 textures anymore. I transitioned for 13 months. I'm still gonna protective style with wigs until I get a little more length.

Thanks so much everyone!
I had to get adjusted to my hair. It hasn't been this short in a long time! I also forgot that my hair grows out before it grows down. I'm loving my hair though!

13 Months post... Last night I was going to cut just the back of my hair to see what it would look like... I ended up cutting it with the exception of the front... some long "bangs" so I could still somehow style my hair.. does that mean I'm still transitioning even tho I've cut out all the relaxer everywhere else?

It's been 21 months since my last relaxer. At least 15 more to go until I'm fully natural. Maybe more. I hate cutting off hair.

I'm 21 months post too @GettingKinky! I have a long while before fully natural. My crown is growing at the slowest speed possible. The rest of my hair seems to be doing good.

It's been two years, four months, and eight days since my last relaxer (I finally got an app to keep track of it

Longtime lurker of this thread... Thought I would transition indefinitely or at least 2-3 years, NOPE! At about 1 yr and 9 months post I chopped off my relaxed ends (Back in Sept/Oct 2015), so glad I did. I absolutely love my natural hair. No looking back.
My hair has grown a great deal, even my crown which is the most fragile on my head and was always breaking off.
The back of my hair is about mbl, the sides apl and the front comes down past my chin. Hopefully, this year I can get back to wl (in the back) and I would love to get my sides to hang around my breast (they never been that long).
I think I'm 3c/4a...

I'm 10.5 months post relaxer now for mst of my head.. i did a wee part in the front for a leave out for my wedding back in august. So technically i'm past my longest stretch before a big chop since the first time I went natural I BC at 10 months. Unlike the first time I stayed weaved up. This time around I rarely had a weave. I just look a mess.. haha. hats at work since i work in an operating room its no problem and a mess at home. Oddly enough wash day isnt so hard. Still hanging in there

@Saludable84, I don't have that issue. My hair gobbles that stuff up. Which did you use? How did you use it? Maybe we can brainstorm something.

Hi Ladies! I was a natural who transitioned for about 2 1/2 years...I just wanted to send you some positive vibes.
I know how frustrating the dueling textures can be! @Saludable84 are you saying that your hair was wet for a month due to the Shea Moisture products?

No, sorry. A week. It never fully tried and I had to clarify with a wash, rinse and repeat. I never have to do that. I'm using them up, but mostly using them to bun.Hi Ladies! I was a natural who transitioned for about 2 1/2 years...I just wanted to send you some positive vibes.
