I'm currently 15 months post relaxer. I hope I can stretch longer but I'll see the next time I wash my hair.

Hi twin NicoleSelah!

I'm 15 months today (66 weeks 2 days)

Started as a regular stretch that became extended and I guess I'm transitioning but still haven't fully decided. Until I actually cut or throw a relaxer in I'll just keep taking care of my hair. I know I don't want to deal with short hair so I'm in this until at least next spring as it makes no sense to me to cut in November when I normally do protective styles in the hard winter. We shall see.

Excuse the water mark but this is what my hair is looking like these days.






I hate cold weather with a passion but am loving wearing wigs and keeping my hair braided -- so easy and convenient.

I will be forced to decide what's next when it warms up since I'm not yet convinced I want to wear wigs in the summer.

What wigs are you wearing? Any favorites? I've never worn one, but am seriously considering it so I can have a little more style during this transition.

Nightingale, I wear halfs & fulls. Visit with us in the wig thread for ideas. I have a good collection -- probably like 10 at this point. I wear realistic looking lengths during the week and short ones on the weekend.

I wear Outre Tammy, FreeTress Creta Girl and Janet Collection Bisa to work most often.

What type of twist? 2 strand or flat twists? flyygirlll2 and how do you keep them from unraveling?

I'm 8 weeks post. I'm hoping to get some crochet braids in in the next couple of weeks and stretch this relaxer.

DivaChyck sorry I forgot to clarify but it's two strand twist. I can't flat twist or cornrow to save my life lol. I will typically seal with a butter on the ends and gather the twists and pin them up into a bun. It does unravel a bit but because I use a butter on the ends it won't completely at least. These twist are actually working for me for the time being because wearing my hair loose with all this new growth is no bueno, it also helps me moisturize my hair and KIM.

Got a pic flyygirlll2. I want to see how small or large your twists are. I tried doing twists like that before but I didn't like the finished look.

divachyk I make them small for the most part since it makes it easier for me to moisturize the new growth I have about 3 inches in some parts and 4 inches in other parts of my hair.
