Thanks!
I'm still hanging on. I see my natural waves/curls and they are beautiful, but I need my hair much longer before I'm satisfied. Plus now I have a set back because I went to a salon and the lady cut my hair to even it out...now I'm at NL :(
 
9 weeks today. Relaxing next Sunday. I lost hair trying to stretch beyond that before.

You are not a lone. I also am going through a set back. I am trying to get the left side of my hair to grow back as well as stop my relax ends from breaking off. However I am transtioning but I am tired of seeing the break off and making my hair harder to style.

Checking in - 23 weeks! But wishing I had more new growth than I do :( Not even two inches.

My hair grows slow too and it doesn't help that I am anemic and having been struggling with keeping it under control. I know right now I am having some health issues which is making it harder but I am determine to be natural and to get my problem area to grow and be healthy.

Also would like to say that I will be 33 weeks post on Saturday.
 
I'm 8 weeks post. This is my first time trying to stretch. I want to stretch until I have my baby at the end of August. But we shall see.

Hang in there, I too was going to transition but after 5 months I missed my relaxed hair and ended up getting a relaxer and I've regretted it since. This is my second attempt and I'm determined to make it through.


I did this too... but now I am six months post.
 
23 weeks post but I am finally getting my relaxer tomorrow. Praying that I haven't caused any damage.

I'm wishing you the best for your relaxer! I'm 23 weeks post as well. This is my longest stretch ever, and I am starting to get paranoid.
 
4 weeks !!!! Imma try another 4-6 weeks. My is doing well since I picked up these great tips from lhcf'ers. ThankSS Yall
 
10 weeks post, aiming for 12 weeks, i'll see then if I go beyong that.
 
Probably 6 months ish. I haven't really been keeping track but definitely around there somewhere.
 
13 weeks today was going for 10 but decided to wait until i got close to this event i will be attending
 
7 wks, going for 8 at least. This is the point where I normally struggle but wearing this phony pony is really helping me stretch. I know, 7-8 wks isn't much of a stretch but it is for me LOL.
 
Week 11 of a 12 week stretch. And I can't wait to relax! :yep:

7 weeks today but it feels like it's been much longer! I'm trying to make it to 12 weeks.

Pookaloo your hair in your siggy is awesome :yep: looks like its on natural hair tho, I would not have know you were relaxed, it's so full and bodified :grin:
 
I was 30 weeks as of yesterday and got my relaxer. I usually stretch for that long with no problem, but I think this time with my graduation and Boards I didn't pay enough attention to it, because I have so much shedding and pretty much ZERO progress after this relaxer :ohwell:

All the newgrowth is thick and full, even after relaxing, but the relaxed ends are really pitiful. I need to be more attentive with my stretch next time, or maybe reduce the length of time because this seems like a step backwards for me.
