April Fool's Stretch Club/Challenge

⏳ Limited Access:

Ok ladies, here's our thread. Check in if you're wanting to be in on it. We're stretching 'til April 1, 2006.

I'll post some additional parameters for the challenge and stuff later, but now I have to study for my finals.
 
I'm in. I just got my relaxer last week though so stretching until April may not be long enough. I will probably extend it to the end of May right before my friend's wedding.
 
I'm in. I plan to wear braids until my birthday in September. I should have b/w 5-9 inches of hair (depending on how fast I get it to grow). That should be perfect for a texturized bob.

But I'm def going to start for an April stretch...that's 4 months. Then there's 5 more months until September.

cool.
 
I am definitely in. I am trying for April just to give my house a rest. I don't know if I am ready to go natural because I like the bone strait look but I am definitely into transitioning for a while. I will probably relax in April or August but who knows because I am taming my hair.
 
That would put me at 26+ weeks post, but I guess I will have decided by that time if I'm transitioning or not huh? (I may need to invest in a Maxiglide some time soon).

I'm in!
 
This is exactly what I wanted to do. My birthday is in April and I want to give my self at least three healthy inches as a gift to me. Eventually I'll need braids, because I'm two weeks post relaxer and my new growth is already actin a nut.

Yeah definately count a sistah in!
 
Tomorrow will make 9 weeks for me, but I was thinking about relaxing before the end of the year. After that, I'm in. My birthday is in April, so that will be perfect timing...
 
I'm IN! :up: I am a Christmas stretcher and tomorrow, 13 Dec 05 will be my 16-week mark! I am going to retouch no later than Friday (waiting on my Phyto delivery now) and then will go another 16 weeks from this week all the way through to April.
 
Hear ye! Hear ye!

This is a stretch club, but I think that it would do just as well as a challenge. So here goes:


The stretch will last until (at Least April Fool's Day, which is April 1. So you know what that means: Buy plenty of Cond. for CO washed and invest in a Maxglide if you need to have bone straight growth. :lol:


If you live in a harsh winter climate, cover your hair and/or wear lots of protective styles.


:whip: TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER :whip:

Very Little/no junk food coupled with a well balanced meal and excercise.

For you brave souls: We will be using MTG to (possibly) promote growth. Try to keep manipulation and heat to a minimum (no more than twice a week) airdrying would be a plus.

The goal of this challenge is to both stretch our relaxers for 4+ mos. while reaping the benifits of a healthy diet and excercise as it comes through our growth. :yay:

HAPPY STRETCHING!!
 
I'm in...but I will need to relax at the end of this month first, planning to relax on December 23rd or 24th, which will put me at 12 weeks post (which is my first really long stretch).

When I get through my current stretch successfully, I know I'll be up for another one. So from December 24 to April 2 (the day I would relax) is 14 weeks. That would be so great!!!

And I'm an April baby too, so it would be a nice b-day present, my birthday is April 18th, I could wait until then depending on how it's going, which would make it a 16 week stretch!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too. I just relaxed yesterday, so I plan to stretch until mid-May. But I'm in.
 
Hey Ladies,

I'm in...I last relaxed on Oct. 10th, and I was planning on doing a 6-month stretch till April (maybe last week in March, cuz that's my lil trip to Cali :grin: ).

But count me in, I'm stretchin until my hair is comfortably at armpit length!
 
After I finish my Christmas stretch in about a week I'm in. I'll be looking at going 18-19 weeks. It's going to take a lot of hair prayers to get me through that:D
 
heh i would do this one if I wasn't still stretching from September, lol.. Imma try to relax by the end of DEC, could I be in it then??

Count me in too! :yay:

I just got my touch up on Dec. 7th after a 16 week stretch so this falls right in line with my current plans. My next 16 week stretch will last until my b-day on April 7th. (may get bold and go 20 weeks to see if I can get an extra inch for my b-day!!)

That's what I'm saying. My hair is so thick right now. I've gained 1/2 inch (un-relaxed, un-stretched) in the last two months. I was really surprised to see that I had gained any length at all. I thought that it would stay the same until I got it relaxed.
 
This is perfect! Count me in. I was in the Christmas stretch club and havent relaxed yet. I graduate from college in April, so it will be a double treat to see how much my hair has grown and recieve my degree! I should be vey close to bra-strap by that time.
 
I really need this. I'm in. I'm almost 6 weeks post relaxer and this would take me out to 6 months - my longest stretch ever - I've done 20wks before and usually go 4months as a norm. I have seriously been slacking in the hair department since I hit brastrap. My ends are acting up too. SO my plan is to do MTG - airdry 100% of the time - exercise - drink plenty of water. My goal is to make midback this year. I'd like to gain 4inches (after relaxed) by April. I'm keeping hope alive. I may need an inch cut, so I can settle for 3 once it's all said and done. My hair is very fine and it's hard for me to retain length. The longer my hair gets, the thinner it gets at the ends. I may add Surge to the rotation....we'll see. Good luck ladies :wave:
 
dang i just got done doing a 6 month stretch...but im in!! and my birthday is the 1st of April so this will be a SPECIAL stretch...i will be at 23weeks at that time
