4b's who stretch longer than 6-8 weeks, what products are you using?

[meka]

Im about 10 or 12 weeks post. I only stretched b/c I was in braids. I can't afford to get my hair re-braided right now and I don't want to relax it just yet. So what styles are you ladies doing and what products are you using to help your stretch?

Low manipulation, Cantu Shea butter on the demarcation line, continue to cowash every 3 days (apply condish like a relaxer and rinse, no scrubbing the scalp)

I have dry, brillo pad 4b hair. When I stretch, I like to use s-curl. It's the only thing that truly loosens my curl pattern and softens my hair. I also like garnier fructis sleek and shine leave- in conditioner. It's good at defining your curl pattern as well as hydrating the hair. The only downside is; product buildup with frequent use, and cones.

Both of these products helped me to retain length while stretching. As for styling, I wear my hair in single braids under a wig. If you don't like wigs, these products are great for twist outs and braid-outs.
