My Stretching Buddies- How is it going?

[dillard]

I haven't done that yet. I have a can at home too. I will have to dust it off Thanks for the suggestion.

gym, i don't know if i can go any longer....i'm gonna try the coconut milk too, but i just can't comb my hair anymore. AND i'm getting a LOT of breakage now. atleast when i washed on tuesday i did. i was shocked, i never had so much breakage before. i prepoo'd with aphogee 2 minute on dry hair for 15 min. when i washed it out, i saw so much hair coming out. then i washed, again i saw more breakage, then i dc with AO honeysuckle, MORE breakage. if the same thing happens the next 2 washes, i think i will relax next weekend. unless it is something else not related to my stretching erplexed

I feel ya pain. I was just thinking that I might have to relax this coming week. I have more tangles than I like to have. I think that it might be time for me and you.

Wow, I feel like such an amateur while I'm reading these posts. I'm only on my week 4 of stretching, and about to enter the 6 month braid challenge if I can get in to the salon early tomorrow morning and get seated first!
Wish me luck ladies!

But in my 4 weeks I'm already seeing some new growth. I never measure my hair so i cant say how much but it seems to be something. I just started a no heat regimen and will be adding on to my regimen as I learn more about hair care.

Just keep sticking with it. So this time you waited 6 weeks, next time try 7 and the next time try 8. Slow and steady whens the stretching race.

Thank you GymFreak,

I am proud to announce that I did my first prepoo, shampoo, deep condition, and moisturizing/ w sealants yesterday. All I did was taken from different posts I've been able to read through. I'm posting the pic as my avatar.
I plan to do a very long stretch. I'm transitioning to texlaxed.

Hey there
I am not an official stretching buddy, but I wanted to add my regime if I may.

I have been stretching since april, I think I have more new growth than I do relaxed hair. lately I have been keeping my hair in "ole lady" braids
and wearing a wig. I am doing so well I may just stay natural once my TWA gets a little longer and I have the courage to chop off the remaining relaxer.

I have been trimming the relaxed ends a little at time.
