I stretched my relaxer for 12 weeks. Well, actually 11 weeks 6 days, but that is close enough. My stylist relaxed my hair Thursday. I was suppose to use phyto, but i chickened out. Maybe I will use it in July. I was surprised to see how much it had grown. I would like to take pictures so that I can track my progress from here, but I don't have an album and I have never downloaded pics. Can someone help me? I was thinking of signing up with Fotki, but as far as downloading pics that is where I will need help.
Guess What?

Welll done on stretching, 12 weeks is a reallll long time. I recently signed up with Fotki, its really simple and easy to use, not as complicated as i thought. And its free! LOL! Do you have a digi cam or camera phone? What i usually do is send my camera phone pics to my email, then save them on my hard drive. From there its real easy to set up an album using fotki. Go to the fotki website, and sign up and follow the instructions.
Hope this helps! My album is nothing spectacular, but maybe one of the other ladies with extensive alnums on this board can help u further.

Stretching your relaxer for the first time is a great accomplishment 
!!! The first time I went to 12 weeks was super tough, but now I stretch to 16-17 weeks with no effort.
As far as the downloading pictures go, once you join fotki, they will pretty much walk you through that process. When you go to add to ablum it's pretty self explainatory, but if you have any problems just pm me and I will see if I can help. Once again Congrats on your stretch!!!

Hi BW1, Congrats on stretching 12 weeks, that's great! And good luck with the fotki account--I love having a fotki album and I bet you will too. If you have a digital camera it should come with all the tools you need to transfer pics to your computer and like Melswifey said fotki really walks you through the steps pretty easily. I was very intimidated at first but was shocked at how easy it was to do it.

Congrats! For the first time, it is the pits. Stretching for the first time was the absolute WORST for me.. I was always glaring at my scalp watching every millimeter of unrelaxed hair grow and feeling like a tortured soul.
Yes, it was that deep, LOL.
For my first time, I went from January 6 to March 18 (when I went on Spring Break I said "That's IT! I AM RELAXING!") and used Phyto.. and as expensive as that mess was I will most certainly be stretching for another three months (at least) to save money if nothing else! LOL
But...I've learned that it's so much healthier for your hair.. it was just another great tip I learned from the girls here.
