Hi friends! 
I used to post regularly in this thread, but I let my subscription run out a few months ago in order to focus on some life stuff... and now I'm so happy to be back!
I'm so proud of all you ladies who are hanging in there, and those who have chopped. Foxglove I was watching you especially because we started transitioning around the same time. It looks great!
My update: I am now 16.5 months post, and loving it. I wore my hair straight for most of the first 14 months, but for the past 2 months or so I decided to try to skip the flat-iron and try out some napptural styles, and I am LOVING the braid-out. Big-ups to GabbanaGirl for the awesome tutorial on that. I started with an ear length cut (from almost BSL, because of damage) and in these past 16.5 months I have grown to about APL that includes two majour trims. My hair is almost completely natural at the nape, It's about 60% natural in the front.
Part of me is DYING to BC, the other is loving the versatility of my hair now. So we'll see...

lol i agree.
That title probably exceeds the character limit for thread titles anyways. 
I didn't get the chance to go to the braid shop while I was home so I broke out the Maxiglide and flatironed my hair. I really like the Maxiglide but I don't want to use heat on a regular basis. I may just get a sew-in or braids when I go home. I told my friend (the one that wanted to touch my hair last week) about the idea of getting a weave or braids, he was like 
...i'm only under 2 months post and i'm scared already...like this would be my first attempt at trying to transition....i don't think i can hang....i'm too comfy with my texlaxed hair.
since my last relaxer and i have been wearing weaves since around october...my guy friend doesnt like weaves at all! like not even a little.
and i would get it cut like every six months to help save my hair!!
it makes me so mad!
i dont plan on wearing weaves forever! i just wanted my hair to grow to a comfortable length before i bc, oh i wish he would subscribe and educate himself on lhcf it would make life so much more simple.:sweet: but its not so bad because i dont see him too often so it only gets brought up once in a blue as he questions...so when are you gonna take that mess out?! 
and i just feel so bad because he doesnt understand this is a stepping stone and not a lifetime! i bet he would be mad if i did a bc and my hair would be waaaaay shorter than it used to be...he'd shut up then i bet!!:hardslap: i just dunno what to do or say. i feel so self conscious with him, that i dont even tell him when im gettin my weave redone or taken out because he would probably get mad or something like that. sigh
