ok guys- update from last thread:

yes - I feel relieved.
I like being relaxed.
I'm not bone straight either which I like and appreciate.
No regrets.
Maybe one- I wished I never mini chopped - I would have had my length.
I'm neck length now. enough talk here's some pictures of my journey- beginning to end:

I know I was all for you going natural :grin:, but your relaxed hair looks great!!
So shiny and healthy.
I hope it'll be more manageable for you now.

Your hair looks nice! Its all about doing what best suits you and what you feel most comfortable with! I too went a full year and then texlaxed. But Im at it again....can you recall the name of the half wig you are wearing in the first pic? I like! In the midst of my second attempt at transitioning,this could be ideal for me :yep:

thanks- I understand. I believe the next time I go natural, I will keep it short because it was way easier to manage with little new growth and not worry about having a big afro which was what I wanted. But right now at this point in my life I want to have hair-

As for the wig- it's actually a full wig and it's the same wig in the 2nd pic with eco gel on it. It's made by it's a cap weave and it's spiral curl. The third one is made by the same company but it's called afro curl.
