Supporting you on this stretch. Wish I could join in, but long stretches don't work as well for me. Too many tangles 😢. But you got this! Keep us posted ❤
Awe thanks Dena I know you are on your hair journey too base on your last update so thou different I will also be supporting you too. As you and I know sticking to what works best is always the better choice. Thanks for your support and I will sure to share updates of this new hair journey. All the best now🙌we got this.
You have got this girl😊. I have started stretching my relaxer to 16wks or 3 relaxers in a year. I find cornrows for under wig works better for me as no combing or manipulation at all while the hair is cornrowed.
Be careful of those hidden proteins in some of these hair care products. There's some that only have moisture ingredients. But then there's some that have moisture ingredients.along with hidden proteins like wheat protein and vegetable protein that could possibly be breaking your hair off.
I'm so glad I'm not alone with taking a break from relaxers. My last touch up was July 2023 and so far so good. Looking forward to seeing how you do with the new phase of your journey.
My hair is currently 2 weeks post relaxer, I usually get a touch up every 4 months and its been going good. But I decided to stretch it further......that's why I'm gladly jumping onto this challenge with sis, let's see how it goes❤
Thanks for sharing, I am excited to see how much your hair will grow, and I wish I could join the journey but stretching does not work 4 me anymore. I normally stretch my relaxer for 3 months, during covid my hair grew a lot and I have been doing it ever since, now my hair breaks like crazy especially more so when I am in the 3rd month too many tangles and differences in hair texture for me, I have decided to relax every 2 months and get back on supplements to correct any internal factors that could be contributing to my breakage. all the best to us as we get our hair on track 😃
You have to do what is best for your hair. I totally understand not stretching beyond your hairs capacity. Three months was a good stretch too, but if two months work then stick with that. Continue to keep up with your supplements and all the best.
I want to join you on this relaxer hair journey, but when is 10 week my hair start to get tangled, breaks and shed, i am currently 4 weeks post relaxer , i will have love to get my hair thicker, because is abit weak
Well my suggestion for you if you want to join in on this relaxer routine is to be willing to cut your hair. Here’s why if your hair gets tangled after 10 weeks it means that your hair is locking protein. However, what you could do if you are able to, you could stretch your relaxer with the intention of starting over. So at the end of this journey you would cut most of the weak hair off and over a period of time you will only have nice healthy hair. If not I would not recommend this routine for you.
Yes relax your hair. My hair is about three weeks post relaxer. It would be easier for you starting off fresh and we are still at the first part of the month. Welcome to this journey.
