I've been growing out my hair since last October through PSing. I agree with you ladies. My natural hair is well behaved. But these relaxed ends......WHEW!!!
The good thing, prior to transitiioning, is that my stylist messed up m bob cut and made it wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to short.
So 80% of my hair is natural now.
But I have a tub of Linnage Lye Relaxer, in the event I can't deal with my hair anymore. I will forego natural hair and become a TEXLAXED!

I cut the relaxed part of a little hidden section of my hair and my new growth just curled up so beautifully......
I just need my new growth to get to a length that I wouldn't mind it being at (I'm thinking SL). It's a little past EL now......

How long did you translation? And where are the pictures of the hair still on your head?

I just randomly chopped off 11 inches of hair from a spot in the middle of my head. It was fun and I can see how easy it would be to get caught up and BC on a whim. But the 8 inches left on my head is way too short for me too feel comfortable. I'm almost 18 months post and I'm starting to think that even 36 months won't be enough for me to feel comfortable.

Thanks @flyygirlll2 and @GettingKinky . if I had to do it again would use a setting lotion or foam wrap. Did a strawset on a friend with motions foam wrap. The results were soft and muah!!

Last week I went to a concert and saw someone with my same texture rocking a wash and go. I've neverrrrr seen someone IRL that I would consider my hair twin. Her hair was very long because her wash n go fell to apl. I was so amazed lol. Now I'm considering trying a wash n go when this transition is over. I just always felt like it wouldn't look right on me nor my hair.
I'll officially be 24 months post at the end of this month. Majority of my hair is natural but I won't be chopping yet. My new goal is 30 months.

Hey lady! It's been a long time, glad to see you're still transitioning!
I chopped around 18 months and I was okay because it was enough hair to bun. I didn't start wearing my hair out until I was almost waist length stretched, and I kind of regret it. Bunning definitely allowed my hair to retain length quickly, but I have no memories or pictures of my shorter hair.
If your transition isn't bothering you than keep on going!

Hi there!! It has been a long time. Are you still roller setting?
The transition isn't really bothering me I just always wear my hair in a pony tail. I think I can stick it out a few more years.

I definitely fell of the roller setting train, but I'm back now. I was doing wet twist outs and wearing my hair down this year because I really never wear my hair down and I wanted to enjoy it!
Now I'm back to roller setting because it's getting colder and I like the smooth look. My hair is longer and I want it to look long, as vain as that is. Have you done a set in a while?

I haven't set in forever. I pretty much always wear my hair in a braidout ponytail except for the week after I get my hair colored and flatironed (every 8 weeks). I'm not really so into my hair anymore. Maybe once my transition is over and I start wearing it out more I will get back into it.

How long does it take you to detangle your hair?
I have midback length hair. I am not sure how much new growth I have because I stopped tracking it long ago. I'd guess it's somewhere around 8 inches since I average 1/2" a month. It takes forever to detangle my hair but I guess I shouldn't be complaining because I'm wearing wigs and my hair remains braided up for weeks. It's a beautiful thing not having to deal with hair on the daily but I pay for it come wash day with having to remove weeks and weeks worth of shed hairs.

@divachyk I'm MBL as well and it takes me 2 hours to detangle my hair 
I only comb when I have to wash which lately has been every 2 weeks due to laziness and dreading a marathon wash day. My hair tends to shed quite a bit regardless though, so I typically have a ball of hair when I detangle.

@divachyk These long arse detangling sessions really have me questioning if I want to continue doing this for another year and a half
@flyygirlll2 I'm washing once a month right now so I will just deal with it (and of course complain along the way) until I can't take it any more. I now see why ladies big chop.

My detangle sessions are always quick once I have conditioner with slip and my wide tooth comb. Only encounter drama when I run out of condish.

If it weren't for my daily workouts I think I would be a straight hair natural once my transition is over. I love how sleek and smooth it feels after being flat ironed.

Today it has been exactly 4 years since I stopped bonelaxing and started texlaxing.
In 3 days it will be 1.5 years since I stopped relaxing period.
The last 2-3 inches of my hair were tangling pretty badly so I got them cut off. Why when I showed my stylist the 2-3 inches I wanted cut off did she say " oh an inch". She has no idea how much an inch is.
