I'm 20 weeks post right now. I was going for 24 weeks when I started but I have a company party on the 8th of September and a wedding the 17th so this is my last week stretching. Next time I'm going for 24 or 26 weeks hopefully I don't have any major events to deter me.
I am 2 weeks and 2 days post and my roots are wavy, maybe I telaxed or could it be that I just rollerset/wrapped my hair and didn't use any heat?? who knows. It's hard for me to stretch since my hair is so short and there aren't too many styles I can wear to cover up my newgrowth, especially in the nape area since I am tapered in the back, or slightly tapered, when it grows out it's very curly and hard to lay down
I will be 12 weeks post this friday and I am aiming for 24 weeks (I've never stretched that long before...the longest I've gone is 7-8 weeks). I'm half way there ....If I can't make it, I'll try to go for 16 or 20 weeks . But I'm determined!!
Nawl, been there done that... I'm doing C&G this year and I just didn't see the point of relaxing when I was going to braid it again in 6 weeks. Also I was never exposed to the touchups every 6 weeks thing. We've always stretched even tho we didn't call it that.
I could have swore I was about 2 months, but when I checked my collendar I'm already 14wks +, I'll be 15wks on fri. which seem to have come along mighty quick. I think w/the extra days in the summer months made that 16wks come quick I didn't plan on relaxing til Oct. 1.
