[vikkisecret]

Hi Kizzy,

I know exactly what you are going through. My last relaxer that got I strecthed it to 9 weeks when I usuall do one every 6 weeks . ( That was before I joined LHCF). Anywhoo it kind of rough and i absolutley couldn't atnd it anymore so I had to relax.For now on I am going to try to strecthmy relaxer to 12 weeks. You'll see way more new growth if you wait longer. I Know it hard but try keep your hair as moisturized as possible. Good Luck!

Hey ladies I see I am not alone either I am at 10 weeks and I guess it isn't so bad b/c I have these braids but every time I look in the mirror and see the new growth I am ready to take these things out then I look at everyone's pictures with there hair down and I want more length so the next time I wear my hair down atleast I will have a inch or 2 I am taking my hair down April 2 and just let it breathe for a week then I am -relaxing April 9 which will put me at 19 weeks and then I will get my hair done April 16 the day I leave for Vegas....I hope I can stick with it its hard very hard but I want some length my hair is already very healthy dammit I just want some LENGTH...I hope everyone makes it to there goal and dang it doesnt make it any better that I have the thickest unruly 4b hair in the world.

I'm going to Vegas that next week. I am also waiting until then to get my touchup.

I'm at 9wks and aiming to re-touch btwn 20-24wks. I'm also constantly checking my calender. For me weeks 8-9 are the worse but once I get over these weeks I am ok.

I am new to stretching as well, I was frustrated last week but Its getting a little easier to manage my hair. I have learned that you have to be gentle with your hair and that has helped a lot. Conditioning and moisturizing are saving my sanity right now. Next week is week 9. I am trying to go to 12wks. Hang in there ladies!!!

You are right the cornrows are really working for me at the moment and they still give me a chance to look after my hair. I am gonna see how I feel at 12 weeks. I think its just beacause this is my first stretch I am so anxious
