Hi ladies... Jacklaxed chick here transitioning to bonelaxed lye.... Im currently 15 weeks post and on a mission to reach my first 5-6 month stretch.(If I dont cave in and succumb at 16 weeks
) I started off with ORS no-lye, then switched over to ORS lye, but for my last relaxer I used Alter Ego Linage Lye
... It left my hair so deliciously moist and straight Ive fallen in love. I think ill stick to this relaxer.
My texture is 4a/b babyfine, wispy, and very very fragile. Its slightly annoying cause I have a hard time figuring out protein and moisture balance. I do think I finally found my first, least damaging, protective style/moisturize & seal combo. It sucks that it has to be large individual braids bunned under a wig, but the main advantage is I get to moisturize and seal properly using my multi-ingredient concoctions.
Oh and I also wanted to know who has Hair OCD? I swear I think im the only one, especially with all the ladies here that stretch for sooooo long. Im trying my best not to relax! Its so bad im thinking of getting my nails did to hinder me from relaxing.
My dream is to stretch for 8-9 months until my birthday in feb, but im thinking of relaxing in december... making it 5 months. Then I thought about doing a 6 month stretch for this wedding ive been invited to next summer. THEN I thought of a one year stretch
But I know that would drive me crazy! How do you ladies get past the holidays during a stretch? Or your birthday.... I dont think I can?
