Name some thing you found out you cant do when your stretching

[Lilmama1011]

That you can easily do with a fresh relaxer? I will start off first, I found out that I can't do a roller set and wrap my hair, it will be breakage city for me (i actually didn't attempt it and its pretty obvious i shouldn't)What ever state it dries in I'm stuck with it until I re wet it, your go....

I can wash my hair without detangling when I have a fresh relaxer. After 2 months post, I have to cut that out.

 

[havilland]

rollerset and or wrap, definitely a nono!

go a week without washing or wetting my hair

protective style longer than a week

go without detangling every 4 days or so.

With a fresh relaxer, I can...

-rollerset easily
-skip blowdrying my roots (or using any direct heat at all)
-fingercomb
-French braid my hair easily
-whip my hair back and forth

With a fresh relaxer, I don't have to...

-moisturize as frequently
-tie my hair down to make the roots like flat
-use a bunch of oils
-moisture my new growth (don't have any w/ a fresh relaxer)
-detangle (my hair doesn't tangle when freshly relaxed)

I must wash my hair in sections
DCing before shampooing works best for me
I must detangle before washing

I guess I didn't read the OP.

So I can't wash my hair loose
I can't DC after Shampooing
and I can't detangle after washing.

Def no sleek buns or ponytails w/o slicking my edges down and tying it with a scarf.

Cannot rollerset w/o either getting my roots blown out or trying to flat iron it.

If I do get my hair straightened, my wrap will only likely look nice for a few days until the roots start to revert.

Comb my hair wet, wrap. Once my new growth start coming out, I only do co washes and DC on dry hair. I also do acvs 2x/month to keep my scalp clean.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Can't use leave-ins and expect to get a comb thru.
Can't comb while wet - must air dry.
Can't wear 2 side plaitts under my wigs - gotta have a total of 16 little ones.
CANNOT use shampoo. I should've put this first! Gotta use conditioner until my next relaxer.
Can't use watery moisturizers - must be thick & creamy.
Can't go beyond a week w/o detangling. smh

Freshly relaxed:

sleek ponies and buns
Cowashing is quick and easy
I can part my hair with a comb
Hairpins slide through easily
I have to use my clips at a certain angle otnerwise they slide right out
Impromptu hair whipping is required

After about 10 weeks post:

big, fat, bunalicious buns
I sit a stare at my hair in the mirror for a few minutes to get psyched up to wash
My newgrowth breaks combs, so finger detangling only
Have to be very careful with hairpins because they can break my tangly newgrowth

i can't stretch! my natural texture is so coily, that the line between the relaxed and new growth is so fragile. i can only go 10-12 weeks at the most.
