I am having a hard time with stretching my relaxers and am more worried about breakage from stretching than anything. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? Please share.
i would roller set, bun, and use the loc/lol/loco method to moisturize and seal my hair (liquid-oil-cream, liquid or liquid-oil-leave in, liquid-oil-cream-oil). i would also deep condition with a conditioner that contained moisture and protein, reconstructors.
S curl was too sticky for me. My hair seems to like cowashing when I'm stretching, anything to keep ng moisturized.
This is what I am doing and is working, wig'ing it, LOL , braid my own hair in about 20 to 30 braids, I wash and DC in braids 1 time a week, then week 2 oil my hair and add cassia over night wash it out and DC add
Leave ins m&s and rebraid, moistures morning and night, air drying is easy in braids, detengle 1 time every 2 weeks when hair is dry with moisturise on it, low malipuletion is the key. !! Am 17 weeks post and I don't even know it,!!

When I first started stretching I was dealing with breakage and dryness. But Sylver2 scarf method helped me out 100000%.
I would defintely wash and dry using the scarf method and throughout the week I would put my hair in flat twist or corn rows to stretch out the new growth.
I prefer stretching my new growth appose to frequent co-washing for my long term stretches. The more I co-wash the more I have to deal with my tightly curled new growth. But trial and error is best. My 2nd round of stretching was much easier.
How does the scarf method work? I haven't heard of this.
