Looking for a buddy too...

I am exactly 1 week post and an will be stretching 10 weeks at a time this year. Used to stretch 12 to 16 weeks, but I want to see if this works better to avoid breakage when stretching. Switched to Mizani lye relaxer with greaaat results. Very soft, bouncy, and shiny hair.:grin:
I cut off all my progress from last year (I was an inch away from BSL:nono:)
I am....again 2 inches away from APL. Want to make it to BSL by September 31, and MBL by December 31. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the responses. I will see what it looks like at 12 weeks. I bought some Tressemme Naturals today to mix with my prepoo and I plan to be proactive in moisturizing my new growth every night or every other night with a mix of water, African Pride Olive Oil Moisturizer, S Curl and JBCO. Maybe this will help me last longer. We Will See :drunk:

Good luck, Yoli! I've got two buddies (shortdub78 and KiWiStyle). We are all within a week or so of each other, I touched-up last Saturday and Kiwi on Thursday and Shortdub about a week before me. I use Mizani lye also...love it! Planning on a 12 week stretch. You're welcome to join us if you don't already have a buddy...the more the merrier!

Cherry89 - I missed your update! You know I'm right there with you in bunning. I'm really loving my hair being tucked away and protected. I plan to bun this weekend too. I've also finally gotten back on track with taking my vitamins everyday.

How's the rest of Team 18 weeks doing? We are about to enter our 6th week, so hopefully all is still going smooth.

I am doing quite well too. I have resumed my NJOY's Hair Concoction, applying 2x's per week with nighttime baggying. I am hoping to get my updates/progress pics out this weekend. Its long overdue after our december relaxer. :ohwell:

Got some NG here that's beginning to need my precious S-Curl/Jojoba oil spritz to stay calm. LOL. Looking forward to making BSL this year!! Yup - 2013 is gonna be the year of my hair goals. How 'bout you all???

sunnieb, lol. I'm loving these buns.. its getting pretty boring though..ughhh. But its really helping with retaining. Maybe if I switch up and do a bang and add some accesories.. Lol

We don't really have a set schedule but we're on here pretty regularly reporting progress,setbacks or just general hair drama. I just finished a 6-month stretch but I won't be stretching that long again-not on purpose anyway :). Welcome aboard.
 
divachyk do you workout in the morning or afternoon? I switched back to afternoon workouts and it's been easier keeping my hair in check. I do cowash at least twice a week and dc once a week, so I'm constantly rinsing out the sweat.

Cherry89 Yes, bunning gets boring to me too, but I'm sticking to it! I don't like bangs on me anymore. I do need to work on accessorizing them more.

Im 3 months post, coming up to 4months.

Im stretching till May, so roughly 6-7 months.

Ive started dusting every 6 weeks and believe me it helps with my shedding. Ive just washed currently dc'ing then will air dry and most prob put in some mini twists.

Are we buddy's brown eyed girl???

mummy0f2boyz, sorry I'm late yes let's buddy up!
 
Ok, I think my buddies and I have missed each other. I am just over 3 weeks post and trying to figure out how to keep my roots moisturised. My weekly regimen deep condition w/cleanser twice per week and co-wash twice per week depending on when these days fall. I think I need to bring out the Shea butter moisturizer after my wash tomorrow and see if that will make a difference.
The plan is to relax after 8 weeks and keep adding a week each stretch until I'm at 12.

So how we gonna keep up with each other?
We should do some type of schedule as to when to do updates/lenght checks.
Any ideas?

We really haven't had a schedule, just pop in when ever you like to babble, update, ask/answer questions, basically just sharing. I only do length checks the day of relaxers and at challenge check-ins because I get anxious.

I agree with Kiwi that we don't really schedule anything. I'm in a couple of challenges that require check-ins and I know Kiwi and Shortdub are in some as well. I kind of like the informality of our little group of buddies, we seem to keep up with each other quite well. I love the sharing and girlfriend-like interaction. With that said, I'm on here at least once a day, as much as I hate to admit that--LOL. In my defense, I'm tethered to my laptop via my job. I have no objection to a check-in schedule, maybe weekly wash/DC days and/or touch-up days or something like that.
