I'm tempting to gradually give up 100% protective styling, and I keep seeing references to ladies saying they keep their hair stretched. Like in the recent Naptural85 thread. When I give up PS'ing I don't want to just wear a puff. I want more elongated looks. Questions, please!
- How are you "keeping" it stretched? I'd like to try the curlformers.
- How often are you washing/wetting your hair and resulting in you having to re-stretch? I'm very worried about overmanipulation and all of a sudden having a ton of SSK or midshaft splits, worn ends...all the things I've been trying to avoid by PS.
- How are you maintaining the stretched styles? Pineappling? Bunched into a satin bonnet?
- Do you feel like your hair is progressing in length and health keeping it stretched, or are you willing/or have to sacrifice those things for style?
