Looking good! Have you considered a wig while your hair grows or getting a cute pixie? Straightening it can damage it as it grows and make it more difficult to grow out. Also with your face shape (mine is similar), try aside part instead of the down the middle parting.

Thanks for the advice. I nvr thought of the pixie cut cus ive always wanted long hair tht I could cover my boobs with. Ive been straightening my hair for years. I take really good care of it afterwards with lots of conditioning and scalp hair food things. I use anti damage and replenishing shampoo and conditioner and I massage my scalp. I also don't use any heat treatments. Im considering sewn in extensions. Ive looked them up and found tht its much safer than glue on ones. Still working on the walk and voice. I gt an appointment on the 30th for a physical then ill het a hormone test so I can begin blocking testosterone and taking estrogen. Im so excited.

Well the thing about heat tools is that frequent use will cause damage regardless of how much you condition. It's the ends that become damaged, so you need a heat protectant. Also what's your hair type? Sew-in weaves are generally used on coarse hair. It your hair is fine or too soft it won't last. :/
