After feeling like rapunzel under the dryer this is my final result. It 'felt' longer :lol:

I can't wait for nice bounce & length but at least it's healthy.....

I would do anything for all that thick beautiful head of hair. Lucky girl ;-).
 
I fell into my old hair oil which isn't a bad thing but $6 oils aren't in my "no-money-gotta-borrow" budget right now. But I wanna hit almost SL by the time my man comes back, and doo gro gets it done.

Hopefully I will have swang worthy hair by december 19th. No pics. My phone is being stupid and won't let me take any or sometimes it lets me take them but I cant go to my gallery to see them.
 
Lymegreen Beautiful hair!!!

I co washed last nite with my VO5 moisture milks and then moisturized and sealed with EVCO. Put in Bantu knots and wore a knot out today. I love it!

since I'm doing so well in my stretch do you think I could get to 11 and 1/2 weeks without stopping at 10 weeks?

I think you could. I have very coarse hair and I stretched to 20 weeks by co washing, moisturizing and sealing, and GHE/baggying. This helped so much with my new growth. I also didn't comb my new growth I finger combed it.

Im gonna try it I really want to get to 12 weeks if I make 11 &1/2 with little to no problems ima continue to 12
 
I'm trying not to become a PJ but I just seen my sister with a bottle of Mane N Tale conditioner and after I read the bottle and ingredients I really wanted to take hers or go buy my own. It says you can use as a leave in, co wash, or possibly a DC. It looks tempting to me to use as my daily moisturizer. Has anyone tried this as their daily moisturizer or for co washing?? Did you like the results??

Does anyone feel like their hair starts reverting with every wash? I feel like my hair isn't responding to Mizani anymore but it's the only relaxer that's available without a license that works on my hair. The Mizani BB always left me under processed even past the recommended processing time so I use the one for coarse/resistant hair.
 
Due to the fact that my stretch is going sooo well, I plan on going on an 11 month stretch ( my longest stretch ever!!!!) With the aid of box braids and sew ins. I'm currently 16 weeks post and hopefully I'll reach my goal ( mbl) at my next touch up. I'm currently grazing Bsl

I relaxed my hair after and 16 week stretch and DC'd overnight. Now I'm about to roller set and I cannot wait to see my outcome

Make sure you post pics, lady! Glad your stretch went well. I'm 13 weeks today going for 20+. My last stretch was only 15& 1/2 weeks--I definitely want to beat that!
 
Relaxed after 11 weeks today but had to trim an inch. My ends were chewed up and my center was dry and damaged. Not sure I can do stretches past 8-10 weeks because detangling causes too much damage. Gotta tweak my regimen:

- stretch no longer than 10 weeks
- cowash every 2 days and seal with coconut and castor oil
- limit roller sets to twice a month because the roller placement is damaging my center
- bunning 5 days per week to take care of my ends and center
- take 5000 mcg of biotin daily and drinking more water

My goal is MBL by June and WL by December

I'm thinking of switching up my reggie a little bit. More dry DCs, moisturizing in sections, using only one or two oils for prepooing and sealing, oil rinsing....maybe a couple more things
 
Ladies I have a situation my ends always dry crunchy
Since I've relaxed I have cut about 2" I have No split ends. I use Roux PC weekly and i only use sulfate poo 2 every 2 months. I use a good amount of protein on a weekly basis. I M&S daily and DC x3 a week. My hair is only telaxed and the ends are the extremely under processed
Please help
 
My hair was really dry so I cowashed and dced, it didn't work so I kept cowashing and dcing 3 days in a row till it softened up, you might have to keep cowashimg and dcing.

Under-processed ends are tricky, they are the oldest and often the most resistant parts of the hair when it comes to virgin relaxing/tex-laxing. You may not be able to get them to behave like you want without doing some kind of corrective tex-lax. Besides that, when I had underprocessed ends I found that castor oil worked well.
 
I'm only 5 weeks post and I have about an inch and a half of ng. My previous relaxer and trim were 11/23/11 and I relaxed this year on 8/9. I didn't plan on relaxing again until Dec around Christmas, but I think I really need a trim because when I style my bun I lose pieces that are maybe 1cm or so and some that are and 1.25 inches. Does anyone trim when they don't have a fresh relaxer?
