Bump, bump, ladies!! :grin:

I'm going to need help for the entire 2008! I am relaxing this weekend and want to stretch every 12 wks for the entire year...I normally go every 7-9 wks, depending on vits, ng, etc.

So can all of you hold my hand pretty please? :look:

I normally go 10 weeks. Been trying to get to 12 weeks for the longest so for the entire year, I'm going to stretch to 12 weeks also. I just relaxed my hair Dec 4th, so I'm going to shoot for March 4th. I will be picking up these products the ladies are talking about and see how it goes. I really want to be midback by the end of 08:grin:

Cool! :yay:

My target date is March 21st. We'll see how it goes...:cool:
 
Artemis I'm stretching t'il the weekend before Valentine's Day - I'm on the VDay HYH challenge. That will be about 15 weeks for me, the longest I've ever gone! I usu do 8 - 9 weeks. I hope to be below APL by then.

You can do it! I'm at 8.5 weeks now and normally am craving the cream by now. But washing twice a week and keeping the NG soft and moist is helping tremendously. :grin:

I am 8wks now too, but I will definitely be relaxing this weekend. Next yr I won't back down though. All these products I own, something better help me get through this :cool:
 
I'll be relaxing next week @ 16 weeks (my longest stretch so far). After that, it'll go back to my regular 12 week schedule. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. :)

I think I am with you silverlotus. I went 16 weeks and I really dont think I will do that again. 12 weeks works fine for me with no problems.

Right now I am around 6 weeks or so. I should be looking to relax sometime in Feb.
 
I wish I had known about this thread earlier, my three month stretch will end mid January.. This week I make 9 weeks post and it haven't been so bad.. For New Years Eve I will be doing a braidout to hide my newgrowth, so far I just been moisturizing, sealing and bunning seven days a week..:yep:
 
I'll be 2 weeks post tomorrow and I also want to stretch, but for at least 16 weeks, but if I make it to 15 weeks I'll be more than happy so I'll be your stretch buddy too. I am alo in the wig challenge and the Bootcamp Challenge so I'll be wearing wigs/weaves to help me through my stretches. I would like to join the HYH challenge for 2008 but I don't see one started yet.

Don't stress it. you will get thru it with a good protecive style and co washes. Im now 29 weeks in twists. I will be taking them down this weeken and prep for two weeks before my t up. I cannit wait to do a good DC with honey and all the good stuff.
 
I'll be your buddy! I stretch for three months all the time. The next time I get a relaxer will be on March 1st 2008. Somethings that really help me are wide toothed combs and only combing my hair one or two times a week when it's wet with conditioner in it. If you do comb your hair while it's dry and you have a lot of new growth, only comb the relaxed ends, not the NG. It'll be a hot, tangly mess otherwise and a lot of breakage might ensue. If you want, you can PM me anytime you want for support.
 
Yay, I'm glad there are so many of us who are down for this. I ended up relaxing today to get it over with, and cannot to see how much thickness I gain from stretching :D
