Relaxer after 17week stretch!!

[lexielex]

Well I relaxed! Instead of doing it myself like usual I let a stylist handle 17 weeks of new growth. She did very well except she wanted me to cut back to my shoulders!!! Ummm I don't think so...I did let go of some scraggly looking ends though I love the results next stretch a full five months Here's the pics
The last pic is before the relaxer at 16 weeks.

nice congrats! stretches are tough to do in the summer months, and good you went to a stylist that was trustworthy, sometimes with relaxing so much newgrowth it's easy to underprocess or over process.

Devils advocate here.. I don't think the that long stretch was worth it..I don't see much improvement. I only say this because for some people stretching may cause more damage and deter that progress you search for. Maybe you can try a slightly shorter strectch compare.

Much Improvement from what point?
I cut off about 1/2 inch of ends that needed to go, so to me it was worth it. I had no problem stretching had no breakage and only relaxed because I have an event coming up. Otherwise I would still be going.....I did the stretch just so I can have more new growth so when I cut those ends I wouldn't be like that's too much.

I see growth from Feb to Sept. Keep up the good work.
Personally I had a disaster when I tried to stretch for 5 months. I think I wasn't as careful with my hair as I should've been, tho'.

Please post the results of your next stretch!

Low mani styles really come in handy when stretching. I had no problem. I recently posted pics of how my left side grew out so really it's an update to that thread.
