I was supposed to get my hair touched up next monday but my hair dresser just called and canceled. So I guess I'll be strectching another week. I have no problem stretching I just really wanted to see my progress. The last pic in the album is of what I do a night to perserve the set it also takes the poofiness out and make my hair a lot sleeker. I'll post more pics to show the after math in the morning... if I remember.

Edit: Added pics from this morning!

[PinkPebbles]

You did a great job!

 

[nikki2229]

Your hair is pretty.
It looks like you have stretching down to a science and that you could go longer if you chose to.
You also have a lot of new growth so I'm sure you'll see alot of growth when you relax.

Thank you. I don't have any problems stretching, after all I did transtion for over a year when I was going natural. But I'm just itching for that "creamy crack". I think I have about 1.5 inches of new growth which is funny to me because just 2 or so weeks ago I was complaining about how I barely had an inch. I think my hair has been growing faster since I started my new multi-vitamin. Puritan's Pride Women Mega Vit.

Mostly I air dry my hair in a bun or in 2-3 twists usually after a co-wash. Sometimes I just leave it down to air dry after detangling and it drys pretty straight. I perfer rollersets though because I love wearing my hair straight and down. Here's the link to my reggie: http://simplyalex-simplyalex.blogspot.com/2008/10/hair-regimen.html

Notes:





I wash and deep condition my hair once every 5-7 days.

I may co-wash in between when wearing a bun or twistout.

I moisturize the last 4-5'' of my hair nightly before I go to bed.

I clearify once a month.

I relax once every 3 months with Affirm normal stregth.

I use Aphogee 2-Step Treatment once every 8 weeks.

Routine:

1. Detangle hair in 6 or more sections first using fingers then a large tooth comb. Braid or clip up each section afterwards.

How do you manage your new growth so many weeks post?T
This stretch around, I challenge myself to rollerset weekly but after about 8 or 9 weeks, my ng becomes soo hard to deal with...
