I stretch for 6-7 months and my main styles are braid outs and flexi-rod sets...I don't use braids, weaves etc...
I DC weekly with Silicon Mix
and I pre-poo (Suave Coconut) followed by co-washing 1-2x a week...this keeps my new growth moisturized and manageable My hair type is coarse 4b/a

Thank you! I'm glad to know it can be done. My hair texture is a coarse 4a/b as well. I just don't want to go the next few months looking busted (I relax Sept. 25).
Using the satin scarf to lay down new growth helps alot, and I use my flexirods to create curls too, but my roots are still so puffy. I don't want to blow dry them or flatiron---tryna do no heat

I use Hairveda's Whipped Gelly to tame my roots, braid outs, and textured styles (I put a little on each section I braid or flexi-rod...on wet/damp hair)

I'm relaxed and past APL. I'm somewhere around BSL/MBL.
If someone could tell me what length they think I am from looking my siggy, that would be much appreciated.
I think I'm quite close to MBL.
Ummm....I would say you're close to WL. You're DEFINITELY MBL now.
I'd say you're already MBL and your way to WL, Girlie!
You think so???
Yes ma'am. MBL you are!!!

Well technically it took me 10.5 months - however my journey started because I had scalp burns and extreme overprocessing from a poorly applied and incorrectly neutralized relaxer service at a salon. So initially my hair wasn't growing much, it was just regaining health. I think you can do it much faster than I was able to achieve it if your starting point is a healthy NL....as is always said "health comes before length."

how often do you relax?
i use to relax every 6 weeks
. since joining lhcf, i'm learning that stretching can be healthier option. so, i'm "attempting" stretching and it's going pretty good. by the time i relax again (at the salon) i would have made it to about 10 or 11 post. i'll keep adding weeks as i go and hopefully i'll eventually be able to stretch for up to 6 months at a time.what advantage does texlaxing give you over relaxing and how often do you texlax?

I relax every 8-9 weeks, that's as long as i can deal with the NG.
Before LHCF i relaxed every 5 weeks and i can notice a difference in retaining my length with stretching.

I'm relaxed and BSL on way to MBL. wear protective styles and moisturize your ends!! retention is the hardest part. your hair will grow on its own!

Ladies, have any of you visited the salon for your relaxer and only wanted a blow out afterwards and no flat ironing? I want to tell my stylist in September that I only want her to blow dry me straight after she touches me up. The flat ironing leaves me with that yucky too-straight feeling.

Checking in too. I was very close to BSL in that last sig pic, but because of a salon setback I'm back to about 2 inches below APL.
Happy Growing!
