Benefits of long term transition
I have experience numbers of benefits of being a long term transitioner .
The most common benefits among all us long term transitioners is that we get to keep our long hair while we transition . Not everyone is ok with rocking short hair especially when you have never had short hair . Hair is a girl favorite accessories :) .
Also I have gotten to know my hair and its like and dislike because I am a long term transitioner . I have seen my hair type and I see what my hair can do ... For example , I have learned that I cannot used hard protein regularly, my hair will go crazy . I will now only used my homemade protein treatment every six months to a year . I really get to understand my hair during this journey .
In the beginning I was just curious and never fully committed so I was not ready to part with straight hair I wanted to play around and if I should change my mind at anytime I would still have my hair length . So basically you can jump ship any time (just saying ) lol .

You can try out new products during this time , its he best time to experiment . The trail and error stage , and it helps to build stability . With so many information at your finger tips , your transition can go by without you even noticing . Also the fact that you have to be extra gentle when long term transitioning , when you become fully natural it may be more like a walk in the park for you since you no longer have to deal with two textures .
In regards to retaining ends , your new growth is basically protected most of the time by your relax ends .
