Right now Im at 12 weeks but if I dont transition, Ill probably go twice a year. Sounds kinda crazy but I have to see how it turns out. You know, I used to touch up every six weeks and I cant for the life of me figure out WHY my own common sense didnt tell me that it was not necessary and even damaging.
I am sooooo glad I found this board. Every time I look at the inches of healthy, shiny natural hair, I think to myself that I cannot believe that I was always rushing to straighten it out, never giving my hair a chance to freaking breathe. Now I cannot wait to see how much more healthy hair will grow out, as I figure out just what to do to keep it healthy.
