To my Relaxed, Texlaxed and knowledgeable Naturals out there:
I've been reading a lot of people's complaints about stretching their relaxers for long periods (more than 12 weeks) and how it did them more harm than good. I know that i've tried stretching several times since I joined this community and my hair absolutely HATED it. I suspect the breakage and setbacks from stretching kept me at SL for a long time. Thank the good Lord I' now APL, approaching BSL! I had to stop stretching at relax at 12weeks.
Is it just me or is stretching not beneficial? A lot of stylists advise against going beyond 12weeks (of course they may have financial motives). But what about the members on here who have long, healthy, thriving hair and stretch religiously? If that's you pls share tips that made your stretch successful - did you just hide your hair throughout your stretch? I tried cowashing and it was a FAIL!
And if you got setback from your stretch I also wanna hear your thoughts. Would you try it again? How far did you try? What mistakes did you make? Did your stretch strain your hair?
