type 4A&B relaxed.. how long do u normally stretch??

[guudhair]

12 weeks...went 16 weeks before but had too much breaking/shedding...think it was because of lack of moisture...may try to go that long again when I get my moisture balance in check.

currently I am able to stretch 12-13 weeks. I am dealing with fine 4a/b strands and I don't think I want to try to go longer than that.

I am currently 27 weeks post going for 60 weeks. I say 60 cause I want to make it until Nov. to have a fresh relaxer for Thanksgiving and all the Christmas parties.

I have been using braids and weaves to help with the stretch. When not in braids I have been doning twist outs. I am hoping for BSB or at least APL by then. Henna, Protein treatments, steam treatments and low manipulation are key for me.
