ETA: I'm sorry if people misunderstood my original post. By stretching, I mean the elasticity of individual strands, rather than how long you wait in between relaxers.
I am transitioning and my last texlax was in November.
I am currently experiencing horrendous breakage. For some reason I went back to cowashing, which caused me to lose almost an inch of growth. It simply doesn't work for me.
In any case, I think my hair might not be getting sufficient protein, but I'm not sure. It feels dry, stringy, and thin right now, which makes me think it needs more moisture; but it also stretches, which I've read means you need more protein. However, adding protein does not help the stretch and only dries out my hair even more. So my question is: how much is your hair supposed to stretch before breaking? What is a healthy amount of stretch?
Also, my hair does not like protein much, but if it does need it, should I use Aubrey BGP, or get an Aphogee product? I have fine, transitioning, 3 something (I think) hair.
