I'd say you're already MBL and your way to WL, Girlie!
You think so???

You ladies are an inspiration to me because I want to keep getting my hair relaxed yet still achieve lengths. It seems like we all have relaxer stretching in common to reach goals, but can you all post & tell me how long some of you stretch your relaxer? I am almost going on 13 weeks already and I'm about over all this NG...and I'm only in the middle of the stretch.
Do you get braids or weaves to help you through it?
Does anyone just continue to bun & style your own hair even at 15, 20, or 25 weeks post (and not have tons of breakage and broken combs from the tough texture)? Please respond. TIA
I stretch for 6-7 months and my main styles are braid outs and flexi-rod sets...I don't use braids, weaves etc...
I DC weekly with Silicon Mix and I pre-poo (Suave Coconut) followed by co-washing 1-2x a week...this keeps my new growth moisturized and manageable
My hair type is coarse 4b/a
Thank you! I'm glad to know it can be done. My hair texture is a coarse 4a/b as well. I just don't want to go the next few months looking busted (I relax Sept. 25).
Using the satin scarf to lay down new growth helps alot, and I use my flexirods to create curls too, but my roots are still so puffy. I don't want to blow dry them or flatiron---tryna do no heat
I'm relaxed and past APL. I'm somewhere around BSL/MBL.
If someone could tell me what length they think I am from looking my siggy, that would be much appreciated.
I think I'm quite close to MBL .

Relaxed, MBL...........checking in
You have a beautiful head of hair
i'm not here very often, but i'm here. i almost reached waist length, but i'm going in the wrong direction now. there are many that have done it though...
Agree, beautiful and thick.Likewise
how often do you relax?I'm relaxed (for over 20 years) and past MBL, about 2 more inches to WSL.
what advantage does texlaxing give you over relaxing and how often do you texlax?There are a lot of relaxed and texlaxed women here...Myself
how often do you relax?
i use to relax every 6 weeks . since joining lhcf, i'm learning that stretching can be healthier option. so, i'm "attempting" stretching and it's going pretty good. by the time i relax again (at the salon) i would have made it to about 10 or 11 post. i'll keep adding weeks as i go and hopefully i'll eventually be able to stretch for up to 6 months at a time.
