Update: 6 Month Stretch Result

[saratess]

Well ladies I got my relaxer today and I must say I was nervous and thought that I would have hair falling out everywhere. However, that was not the case and it turned out better than expected. I had about 3-5 inches of new growth in various places and I did not need a trim at all (thanks to my moisturizing routine). I must say I still do not like a fresh relaxer but I can deal. I have pics in my fotki. Thanks for the encouragement ladies!

Thanks Ladies:

My moisturizing routine was the basic oiling of the ends every night with EQ mango butter and every so often with ORS olive oil. I also stopped using the curling irons or flat irons and only set under a dryer maybe 4 times within 6 months. I think the no heat helped alot with the shine. I also deep conditioned about every 3 weeks with olive oil and honey. The relaxer I used was Affirm.
