Before finding LHCF how long was your stretch?

[Misshairdiva]

Before lhcf my stretch was... as soon as I'd see new growth!

 

[sharifeh]

my stretch ranged from 8-9 weeks pre-lhcf
now i do at least 10 but that's quite difficult

 

[Mercie]

Before LHCF I already knew that it was best not to do relaxers so often.
So, I would do relaxers every 4-6 months depending on how much I needed it and if I had braids in my hair.

 

[dachsies_rule!]

Before LHCF, i relaxed at 5 weeks and at 7 weeks i looked a HAM! I'm going for my first stretch now...i'm at 8 weeks, trying to go for 10.

 

[Lovestyr]

I used to stetch 8 weeks max prior to LHCF... But Now I stretch a min of 12 weeks...my beautician hates it but , she will be ok I am a great tipper ....lol I try to get my relaxers three times a year, and it has done wonders for me in my hair journey.

 

[Aggie]

I'd say about 10-12 weeks for me. Only ocassionally I would end up stretching 14-16 weeks when I got lazy and didn't feel like dealing with my hair.

 

[fattyfatfat]

My stretch was 4 weeks but now I can stretch for 8 weeks. Next time Im going to try 9wks.

 

[asubeauty]

Before LHCF I got relaxers every 5 weeks. After LHCF it became 10-12 weeks, and now I'm transitioning.

 

[Lanea87]

I was about the same that I do now. 3-6 months.......

 

[SouthernBeauty]

Before lhcf I stretched for about 4 months but didnt know how to take care of my hair..... so it still broke off!

When i saw a wave it was time to relax.

 

[Britt]

Before finding LHCF my longest stretch was 18wks...

I was always a stretcher, I use to relax every 4 months

 

[fattyfatfat]

I have to be a stronger hair stretcher! Anything past 8wks and my hair will look a MESS! My next stretch will end sometime in October, I'll see if I can do it until November.

 

[chikachic817]

Before it was every 6 weeks. The longest it went was 8 weeks before my last relaxer but that wasn't on purpose. Now I am at 8 weeks and am trying to stretch for 12.

 

[silvergirl]

when i used to relax, prior to lhcf it was every 3 months.

 

[aquajoyice]

I didn't stretch before LHCF. I was always afraid of suffering major breakage and always relaxed every 4-6 weeks.

 

[NeeSee]

Before LHCF, I still would stretch 4 and 5 months at a time per the request of my beautician that I had at the time.

 

[A.Marie]

I used to go every 6 weeks. Just recently, I started stretching for 12 weeks.

 

[longhairlover]

My longest stretch was about a year or a month sort of, i've always been into healthy hair care, with lhcf it was just nice to find a whole community built on hair. I learned at a young age how to care for my hair because my mom was a hair stylist and spending soooo much time in salons you learn alot.

I haven't stretched a year yet during lhcf maybe about 7 months approx stretching takes alot of will power, conditioning etc.

 

[~NanCeBoTwin~]

I selected 10-12, even though I never made it to 12 weeks often, my norm was 9-10 weeks....but I just did my first stretch and made it to 33 weeks, from now on I'm doing 24 week stretches...

 

[LushLox]

I took a weird about turn with my stretching. When I first started relaxing my hair I did it every three months sometimes four; my hair was thick and healthy then. All of a sudden I started relaxing every 8 weeks, not quite sure why that happened. Anyway with the increased relaxing I started to loose the thickness over time, which is why I've started incorporating stretching again. The density of my hair has really improved due to the stretching.

 

[moonglowdiva]

What I was doing really wasn't a stretch. I was just going about 9 weeks between relaxers because I could wash my hair and my ng would be managable so I didn't need to relax.

 

[shasha8685]

I didn't stretch. Relaxed every 4/5 weeks like clockwork.

Now I stretch 13 weeks

 

[bbdgirl]

7 weeks was my magic number. 6wks was too soon but eight, OMG, I thought all my hair would fall out if I waited.
Now I do 14-16wks standing on my head, like nothing!

Thanks LHCF!!!

MY goal is 3 relaxers a year only

When i saw a wave it was time to relax.

Okaaay!! I thought I was saying something.

Toy---I am in love with your hair.
