0 Weeks. Just relaxed today.

From now on I think I'll stretch every six months rather than a year. I swear my new growth was planning a coup. Like it's almost as if it got thicker over the weekend. I was scraping the container of the 2nd box of relaxer and thought for one horrible second that I would need a third.

So my next touchup will be 12/2014.

Sorry, about twice a week and I deep condition each time. I shampoo once a week.

27 weeks yesterday. Throwing some braids or twists in this week until half marathon is done so this unplanned stretch will continue through the fall.

I'm 5 months post today! This stretch has been so successful. I'm getting two-strand twists extensions next week.

I am going on over 11 months post relaxer... And no, I'm not transitioning. At least not on purpose I've just been lazy about relaxing and wearing weaves here and there.


Now that it's basically been a year, I'm wondering if I should texlax or just cut it off and go natural. I was natural for 8 years in the past. If I'm ever going to go natural again, it may as well be after a year-long stretch.

However, another part of me wants to see my hair texlaxed and draping at this new length!! Decisions, decisions...

This is how I got to 6 months....I know products have changed and it will probably be easier than it was when my mom was fighting with my hair as a child but it makes no sense to transition if I'm going to be fighting my poof wearing it straight all of the time. Decisions,decisions indeed!

I'm 7 weeks in. 17 more weeks to go. I have so much new growth so I hope I can make it. Joico moisture balm has been my saving grace.

I am 9 weeks post. Plan on relaxing hair next week. Way too much new growth for me. First time stretching. Usually I relax every 6-7 weeks but going for 10 weeks. I use the ORS No Lye relaxer. Been using that for years and don't plan on changing.

28 weeks on Tuesday. I'm hoping to stretch a full year if I can stand it. Right now it's been a stretch for healthy hair but now it's hide from the humidity in a weave.
