4a & 4b mix checking in. I'm doing the following this winter:
- upping the DC's
- upping the daily moisturizing and sealing (every AM & PM)
- wearing messy buns and updos to prevent my hair from rubbing against my sweaters
- wearing my silk knit cap to cover my hair when outside (most of the time)
- switching from coconut oil to avocado oil

Checkin' in, one two!!! 
I have SL 4a/4b hair, I just got a fresh trim 4 days ago, and I've already started slippin' with the little bit of regimen I have. But with good reason!!! I was just hired for a job on Friday, I'm starting it on Thursday, so I have to be somewhat moved to a new city 100 miles away by Wednesday. Craziness, huh?
I am so busy right now, but I'm glad I took the time to come on here today b/c it helps remind me to not forget about my hair in the midst of my craziness. Thanks LHCF!!!! :blowkiss:

4a/b checking in....at least I'm pretty sure that's what's going on up there. Lol. Currently 8 wks post and I'm torn between relaxing for New Years, or attempting to stretch into the New Year and jus straighten.

4b relaxed here and I need help!!! I have fine hair and now its shedding all over the place. I usually shed more during the fall/winter and on top of that I just had a baby 3 months ago. I hate to comb my hair or even run my fingers through it.
I need a hair mentor seriously! You ladies have some beautiful, healthy heads of hair and I'm trying to get where you are. I was on the right track, but I'm afraid that by the spring I'll have my work cut out for me.
OMG! I am so in your shoes right now. I'm 4a/4b relaxed (roots are texlaxed) and I just had a baby 3 months ago and I just started shedding a few weeks ago. I normally shed a lot this time of year so I hope that it resolves around the same time it normally does. My hair is super healthy now. I'm back to my low manipulation styles (braidouts, easy updos), deep conditioning and will be doing roller sets.

Do you ladies find it difficult to stretch because of the 4b texture.. Everytime I plan on stretching I get to 7 weeks and I feel like I have to relax. I'm going to try harder this time around. I'm at 5 weeks and I want to stretch till february but I don't know if imma make it. I might break down and relax in two weeks..
Nice to be good company of beautiful heads of hair.

I don't know if I would say I find it difficult, but I learned this year that I do not retain as much growth when I attempt long stretches. I relax at or around 10 weeks, although yesterday I was only 7 weeks post. For me long stretches aren't going to help me reach my goal as quickly as I would like.

I don't...haven't tried the QP mango butter since it came out with the "new" formula either.

I purchased some shea butter that I still haven't used. I may experiment next week.
Thanks for the review!

12 weeks is my goal. Do you retain length when you stretch for 12 weeks?

I surely will!
Only with low manipulating styles; curly rollersets and flexirods for me.

Wow...
It's still many of us that are relaxed and taking very good care of our hair :waytogo:. I have absolutely no intentions of going natural but I will say congrats to those ladies that decide to transition and go natural
.
I am so proud of you ladies I want you to be consistent with the products that work for your hair type and not b/c they work for someone hair texture.
Remember ladies less is best
