I'm about 4 months post and plan is to stretch until 6 months in March. So far everything is going better than I expected. In the past stretches failed but what I'm doing differently this time is heat straightening my roots and wearing my hair straight 100% of the time rather than my old method of no heat with conditioner washes and buns. Surprisingly heat is working for me. Since i'll have 6 months worth of new growth when I relax I'm debating if I should go to the hairdresser with my hair previously straightened to make the touch up easier or should I go with it washed and air dried so the different textures will be more visible. The problem with the latter is that my hair tangles easily so I know detangling will be a disaster if I let her touch up with all that growth. If I go straightened though, I might end up underprocessed because the new growth isn't as visible. What do you long time stretchers do?
