i was really liking my new growth but the urge to touchup over came me and i bought a jar of my fave (revlon realistic) and got to work. sorry
frown.gif
but....i was in heaven with my touchup!!!! i am now officially on the rave for the results you can get from stretching out your relaxer
smile.gif
i had an inch and a quarter of new growth(13.5 weeks--hey, i'm a slow grower what can i say
wink.gif
) and it was SO SOFT after i blowdried!!!! i mean SOFT!!!!
grin.gif
my husband who doesnt notice anything walked up and touched my roots that i just touched up while i was in the mirror preening and he was like 'wow, your roots are so shiny and soft!!! i felt soooo guilty for touching them up but i just couldnt take not seeing how much closer i was to brastrap. anyway i added pics to my album, i can actually tell that it's grown this time

Don't feel guilty about this. The most important thing is that you like your hair and the results that you have with stretching out the relaxer.:)
 
Re: I caved!! i touched up--off the wagon she goes

Hey please dont feel bad!! Its your decision and i am so happy with your results! i am 12 weeks post relaxer and i honestly think i can go longer... once again thanks to a certain PJ

Yes, Jainygirl, don't feel bad! The most important thing is that you're happy! Were you trying to transition?? I know it's going to be rough for me too. My hair grows fast, so it's only been 6 weeks and I have an inch and boy is it fighting with the relaxed hair for more ground (my head)! So I'm trying to keep trimming a little all over each month. That trimming really seems to help and I don't know why since I'm trimming the ends and that part has nothing to do with the place where the relaxed and natural hair meet. But don't feel bad, I'm glad your hubby likes it too! That always makes a girl feel super sexy! So good for you!

Hey Jainygirl,

You reached your 1st goal of brastrap length! It's lookin' good and thick and healthy. Congratulations!
 
Congrats Jainygirl. You are now officially brastrap. Your hair really took off in those 13 weeks. Looks like you got a good 2inches. Keep it up and you'll be wiastlength by the end of the year

thanks ladies --i started out to stretch my relaxer then i wanted to transition. i dont regret stretching it out or touching up my hair eventually. this is the 1st time i REALLY got to see what my natural hair looks like (me likey
grin.gif
) so i consider that a small victory in itself. also like i said it also helped me to stop going thru the "watching grass grow syndrome" that Ms Kenesha discussed in another post by stretching my relaxer ( i was sooo feeling you about the grass thing girl
wink.gif
) i think mentally it gave me a new lease on this hair growing thing----jainygirl
 
Jainy, your hair looks so nice! And you are at bra-strap now. I'm sure your hair thanked you for the extended time between touch-ups and no that you know you can do it, you can do it more often.

I can definitely see the difference in growth.
go ahead with you bad self girl, you'll be waistlenght in no time!

Jainygirl, your hair looks great! I have a question, I was at 12 weeks post and getting so much breakage, how did you do it?
 
I am glad that you are happy with your results, I will be relaxing tonight after 10 weeks. Maybe next time I will make it to 12 weeks.
