Hi Everyone! I am currently 9 months post and I never thought I would get this far. My goal is at least 24 months. I got to about 7 months post last year, relaxed and IMMEDIATELY regretted it. When I put my hand in my hair, all I felt was my head. There were no little curls to play with and I was annoyed,lol. So, THIS time I am really making an effort to stick to it. Around 6 months, I started to give up, so I went to get it flat-ironed. Again, when all I felt was my head, I was SO relieved that it was temporary and my hair would revert. I'm getting frustrated again, so I'm going to flat-iron in 2 weeks and it will either be the Mizani Thermasmooth or BKT. It helps SO MUCH to be able to read about other people's transitioning struggles and achievements.
