I know ya'll are probably sick of me and my 568 challenges
but I love being in challenges cause, well, they're a challenge! That and my hair always benefits
So the rules of this challenge are:
Rule #1-Add 4-6 weeks to your usual stretch time
I normally go six weeks. My last relaxer was on
June 21st.
Rule #2-Post how long you normally stretch and how long you'll be stretching for this challenge. Also post the date that you'll be getting your relaxer after the stretch
I am shooting for 13 weeks this time. I am trying to move to a four relaxers a year schedule with my last relaxer of the calendar year being approximately 2 weeks before Christmas. So, this time I am going for 13 weeks and next time I will do 12. After that I will switch back to 13 weeks. My next relaxer date should be
September 20th.
Rule #3-If you need any help with stretching, ask questions here or in the "Relaxer Stretchers Support Thread" or something like that
I am planning to do my turbie twist steam treatment once a week, continue to rollerset, and put as little stress on my hair as possible.
Rule #4-Don't join if ya can't hang! If you drop out of the challenge, you will be banned from LHCF forever!!!! J/k! (or am I? )
One thing that could interfere with this challenge is that I am on the (academic) job market this year. I can't go on interviews with jacked up hair. So, if I have an interview and I am toward the end of my stretch period, I may have to relax my hair.
And, if you get me kicked off LHCF, I am coming to your house and help my little friend pour your Bee Mine down the sink!
