Is anyone stretching their relaxer? I need a buddy for the long haul
Hi,
Because of timing and conflicts I'll have to stretch my relaxer until June (21 weeks!). I'm a bit scared to be honest, but it's either that or touching up my hair twice --once after 10 weeks and another after 11 weeks. I know that sound pretty good, but when I got my touch up this past Monday after 11 weeks I really didn't have alot of growth. I mean it's weird, I could hard comb through my hair but when you look at the actually new growth it was barely and inch. My hairdresser overlapped and I really don't think she could have avoided doing so. Anyway I have a plan, but motivation will play a huge factor so if anyone is stretching their relaxer for a long while...
My 21 week Super Stretch Challenge plan
Week 1: loose buns (1 week)
Weeks 02 - 05: 24/7 baggy challenge (4 weeks)
Weeks 06 - 11: Braids with extensions #1 (6 weeks)
Weeks 12 - 16: Braids with extensions #2 (5 weeks)
Weeks 17 - 21: Braids with extensions #3 (5 weeks)
