I'm going to do it!!!

[leona2025]

So I want WL like right now and I am currently MBL(I think). I have decided I am going to do a long relaxer strech. I relaxed at the end of August and I won't relaxed again until January 1.

I won't do any length checks and use any heat. I will try to only bun and rollerset. When I feel the urge to flat iron I will be in here telling ya'll to help me. As a matter of fact I am taking my flat iron to my mother's house.

When do you plan on relaxing again?

I'm gonna go for another 3 month stretch and using JBCO again while doing it. My last relaxer was August 20.

Good luck, you can definitely do it.

Long Term Stretch Challenge - should be helpful.

leona, you can do it girl !!!! i have a similar goal to yours for the end of the year: next relaxer will be mid December, rollersets and protective styles only, I can only use heat once in this time frame, and no length checks until next relaxer.

by the way....always nice to see another Houston chic on the LHCF

You can do it! Just take one day at a time and it makes the goal more attainable.
The first time I tried to stretch, I kept focusing on the goal date and I ended up relaxing 3 days ahead of time but I felt disappointed in myself. The next time, I just decided to take it one day at a time and learn what my hair needed as it changed over the different months.
I am now 10.5 months post relaxer.

You can do it!! You will be so pleased with your results; be careful though. Long stretches can become addictive!!

Hey ladies thanks for the support. I never really have any problems with my ng and stretching. I will be going along just fine and at about 3 months bam the urge to relax hits and I just do it. My struggle will be the flat iron. I love it like a child, lol.
