Well ladies, i finally relaxed. After 6 months of stretching. I just could not take it any longer. This morning my hair was so dry and tangled, no matter what i did the comb just would not budge. I reached my goal of stretching 6 months. I wasn't trying to go longer. I'm very happy with the results. Yaaaa, i can feel my scalp again, lol. Looks like i'm back at BSL, but this time i feel encouraged. This time i'm gonna make waistlength. The 6 months of stretching helped me gain 3 inches. Which means i'm an average grower (1/2 inch per month) The difference is this time my hair is thicker and stronger. I will try for 6 month stretches for as long as i relax (maybe,lol) Although the relaxer touch up was not without some drama (as soon as i applied the relaxer my scalp began to burn) so, i'm texlaxed in some areas, but that's okay. I lost no hair, but i have a bad burn at my hairline (the worse place, i already have issues with my hairline!!) I will revamp my regimen and today starts my new 6 month stretch!!!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement. The 6 month stretch is a
Muther :o)
congrats!I one day would like to stretch for 6 months. I'm on my way to Wl but want to trim a little between here and there. I'm a little new to your blog so I'll go through it to see if I can get any tips. Thanks!

@Jeni,
I didn't think i had the patience, but my hair was too thin from relaxing too often. I got so frustrated many times from the tangling, lol. You can do it too :o)

I usually swtch off from 3 months to 6 months for relaxing my hair. I find that washing/cowashing it every day has really helped get me through. I know it will get easier each time you stretch it.
ReplyDelete@Susan,
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I think 3-6 month stretch are for me too :o)
