TRANSITION OVER! 11-22-14
I definitely have a lot of damage, so I finally found a stylist named Anne Marie to do my hair. I got a nice surprise when I shared with her my hair goals for the future. I told her about my goal to go natural and grow out my hair. She and I planned to do several chop sessions. Her analysis was the same as mine. I do not need a relaxer to have beautiful hair. My damage was extensive, though and I had to cut my hair from below SL to mid neck level.
The sad truth is that I still have more damaged hair to cut, but to keep my transition going, I asked my stylist to cut it into a cute style as I grow my hair. I will be getting pictures as soon as I can. She did a blow out/flat iron on my hair. She used the Fantasia IC heat serum as a heat protectant. This wash, cut, and style only cost me 40$.
I was pleasanttly surprised that she was a knowledgeable stylist who knows how to handle textured styles. She is a white woman, but she has skills! She can even cornrow and I am 
because my hair looks so much more healthy. My transition will continue and I don't have to stress myself out about my hair anymore. I am in good hands! She styled it into the cute Rhinanna bob style where my nape is tapered. I feel so cute!

that's what makes lots of women stop transitioning and go back to the relaxer... they don't feel as pretty. 
The Aphoghee helped with the shedding, but the damaged hair remained. My transition is still on schedule. According to my stylist, I have 2" of natural hair. It's too cold to do a full BC, at least for me, it is.
It looks better, but I still have 3" of damaged hair.
