I think 3 months.
But it's been 1 month and a half since I cut off my permed ends, and went natural, and I haven't full straightened yet.

I last straightened it on New Years day. But my new years resolution is to not flat iron it anymore! I'm soo ready to embrace my curls. It really makes a difference in my outlook too. I want to wear funkier jewelry and eat better food. I love it!

9 hours ago.. I feel bad for damaging my hair, but it was almost straight when I woke up this morning and I didn't have the motivation to try to make i t curl...soo I broke out the flat iron. It only took me FIVE minutes to straighten. It usually takes 20. Sad part is, the same thing happens about once a week. But, the longest I've gone without straightening (not counting the 12 years before I got a flat iron) was like 4 months from like May until August last year. I was just too busy to bother with it.
My hair has decided, not even a year after I embraced it, that it is now gonna be 2a, instead of 2c like it used to be. Oh well, it is less frizzy now anyways.

About 4 days. I'm trying so hard not to straighten it because I really want it to be healthy again but it's sooo hard! (

I haven't straightened my hair in 15 months!

I used to only straighten my bangs not the rest. It was just awful for my hair.

I haven't straightened my hair since late December. I'm pretty proud of myself cause I didn't think it was possible

I'm ashamed to say I betrayed my curly roots and did an at-home keratin treatment about 5 hours ago... My hair is stick straight and allegedly will remain so for 30 days!

2 weeks. I straighten pretty frequently in the winter because I can never get more than one day out of my hair with this dry weather and if it's straight I can keep it for up to a week.

From May to September heat doesn't touch my hair...ever!

About 3 months until thursday. I finally broke down and spent 2.5 hrs straightening it so I could see how long it's gotten. In the 3 months that I super protected it, it grew 2.5 in! Almost an inch a month which is a big improvement from when I straightened once a week and never protected my hair and it grew less than a quarter inch a month. I'm going to try to get it to grow a foot by this Christmas.
