To achieve full APL hair for sure, and hopefully BSL by December 2010
5. What is your hair reggie?
Rollerset and DC twice a week. I sometimes bun during the week, and flat-iron no more than once per month. I hope to eliminate flat-ironing completely by relaxing every 8 weeks instead of stretching in 2010.

We seem to have the same goals and our hair is about the same length.
I even wanna relax sooner cause I cause more damage with stretching.

5. What is your hair reggie?
Shampoo, condition, deep condition, cornrow, wig.
Once a month I use a protein treatment, and love the 2-minute Aphogee treatment for those times I just feel I need it. Also use Amla Hair Oil inbetween the cornrows on the scalp and massage.
