Ok so I am now 12.5 weeks post relaxer. This is the first time I have stretched so long and I have tremendous growth. I am also using now Indian products, alma oil and vatika oils. Last nite after washing I was twisting the back and it is reaching over my shoulder to APL, this is great. When I relax next week I am sure I will be past APL.
I have found the key to washing my hair while stretching, I wash in quarters. Divide my hair in four (two on each side) and do each separately. I have been CW a lot so I deep condition on dry hair in quarters and then after I put the oil on the roots of each section without taking them down. I then take down each section, one at a time and rinse and condition each section and twist again. After I am finished each section I go back to the first and rinse and detangle and retwist. I do that to each and when finished wrap in a towel. I then on each section at a time I moisture and seal with vatika oil and comb each section, bun or roller set. In the last few weeks I have been bunning and wearing pony tail or wig. This is my final week of stretching. I will post pics and comparison shots next week. Washing this way, twice a week I am not shedding or breaking. losing so little hair it is unbelievable. I never thought I could do it.
