New Growth Help!

[Knedgers]

I am a newbie and was a 3-4 week self relaxer......well I am doing my first stretch and I am 8 weeks post...Things are getting kinda fuzzy up there and I started Mn treatments. My question is what else can i do besides rollersetting. I dont know how to weave or braid, my haris is not long enough to bunn and I would like to try and stretch until christmas.

braidout, twistouts, and scarf method. If you know how to make single braids, you can do a braidout. HTH.

If you can't braid, you can try individual plaits or twists as a wet set with the ends set on rods.

If you are looking to have your ng lay down then at night after yu moisturize use a little light gel and tie it down with a silk/polyester scarf. I am 11 weeks post and that's what I do to get it to lay down. Twists are good too, they look nice but I find them time consuming.

Bantu knots for a curly look if you're style challenged!

Part hair into sections, depending on how many you want.
Take a section and twist it tightly until it coils and you can wrap it around itself into a sort of ball on your head.
In the morning take it out-instant curls!

My description sucks though but its pretty easy and worth it and Im sure someone around here has pics or you can google it.

that's really good for a first stretch. you doubled your normal time! How's your hair doing otherwise...have you noticed any increases in breakage or difficulty keeping it all moisturized?

no difference my hair is fine. its moisturized and not doing to much breaking

The scarf method is a life saver. I'm super chicken about heat and have been stretching my relaxers 8-12 weeks.

Instead of gel I actually use either Elasta QP mango butter or a mix of cholesterol con, a little oil and then tie down my hair.
