thinking about stretching longer...

[ms.gafeney]

I was going to do a relaxer in two weeks after stretching since nov., but the urge to take my kinky twist out (pic in my fotki) and continue to stretch until april (with a sew in) has hit me. i have some questions, if i do this, how should i proceed? should i do a protien treatment and then put the weave in? or something else....

Only if your hair needs it. If not, just DC and go on with the weave.

I'm in the same boat. Right now i'm about 13 weeks post relaxer and might stretch till April/May. I was going to DC and then get braids. In the mean time I've been doing braid outs and pincurl/bantu sets to keep the texture looking even.

This is how I feel. I'm current;y on a looong relaxer stretch, about 19 weeks post now, and I been getting along great w/o having to relax. I think if your hair is fine and you can deal with the new growth, then it should be ok not to relax just yet.

I'd like to think I could stretch that long.

I'll try for 13 weeks, LOL, try only 4 relaxers a year, then move up to 3 relaxers.

Y'all are doing so well!
