Well....I clipped my ends again. Let's be real..I cut my hair out of frustration today. I'm never going to reach shoulder length or even my goal of APL if I keep doing this. I didn't cut much and I have 6 more weeks left in my stretch but I did feel really good when I was done

I'm not trimming until I reach APL. My stylist said I should come in in November for a trim but that ain't gonna happen.

Trimming is ok. I cut my BSL hair back to APL in July and I love it! My hair curls easier and appears thicker.

I would rather take an extra 2 years to get to WL than to get there and have scraggely ends. If it appears that my hair can't get that long without thinning ends, I will maintain the current length I have and KIM.

A good rule of thumb is to look at your ends weekly to see how they are progressing. Comb your hair down, get out your hand-held mirror and look see how they look from the back while looking in a big mirror. You can maintain nice ends by keeping a watchful eye.

I made the mistake of going months without looking at my ends and paid the price.

This is true. I forgot to mention that I do dust as needed after my last big trim which keeps the splits in check.

I've covered my hair in coconut oil and leave in & I'm baggying and off to bed!
Tomorrow, protein treatment and hopefully I'll have sexy weekend hair.

Is the protein step after rinsing relaxed supposed to be hard like emergencee and aphogee 2 min or a regular 1 like Ors replenishing?

Anyone only relax your hair every 10-12 weeks and still maintaining thickness?? I've been seeing a lot of ladies with long and thick hair that only stretch 12 weeks tops so I'm wondering if relaxing beyond that is necessary.

I did that for years but couldn't get past a certain length. My hair is naturally super thick and corse though........

I stretched 12-14 weeks for a while and I know that's what contributed to maintaining my thickness. I stretch longer now simply because I can with no adverse affects.

I'll be 12 weeks post on Saturday. This is my second ever stretch. The last one ended at 15 & 1/2 weeks because I couldn't stand it any longer. This time I'm better prepared and I've been taking much better care of my hair. I'm beginning to see a difference in the thickness but its not noticeable enough to make styling look better yet but I'm optimistic about the stretch because this time it seems easier. I was planning on a 20-week stretch ending in December but I may go the full six months depends on how crazy I get to looking...LOL

I do relax every 8,10 or 11 weeks (it'll be 11 weeks this time) but only because I fit it around my husband's schedule. I usually relax (not bone straight any longer) and do maintain thickness. I prefer not to stretch for more than 12 weeks though.

Anyone use Aphogee Shampoo for Damaged hair?

 

[sckri23]

Ok I'm washing tonight because I'm going horse back riding tomorrow.


Edit: (10:04 pm) flat ironed instead, I strayed from my regi 3 times already but I'm determined to stick to it. Might adjust some things tho.

I relax anywhere from 8-12 with no issues and thickness compromise KiWiStyle

We are relaxer twins....I relaxed today. I was only about ten weeks.

I relaxed last nite with ORS no lye and I got great results. However being that I was 20 weeks post my new growth was pure madness and I ran out of relaxer right at the last portion of my last quadrant. So I have one little section of underprocessed hair but it still looks great. My hair did get much more thicker though and I blame that on stretching longer than normal. I plan on stretching another 20 weeks to compare again.
