I'm not stretching... transitioning... 40 weeks (10 months)
into my transition.
Low Manipulation is KEY!!!
I can't stress that enough.
Biggest lesson I ever learned on LHCF.
ITA w/bolded. Tommorrow makes 18 weeks for me. I am on my second 6-month stretch. So far so good. Six more weeks to go.
* First 11 weeks or so, I would prepoo, DC, rinse w/Capilo Sole and Cinnamon rinse, rollerset, silk wrap...weekly.
* Remaining weeks, I prepoo, DC, rinse w/Capilo rinse, airdry 80%, lightly blow-dry on cool, flat-iron...biweekly.
* I like this new schedule. Its the best way to manage NG. Once it gets too bushy, I handle my hair less and less.
* When I get to a certain length, I want to try braid-outs, twist-outs, wash-n-gos.
* I also have yet to master that sleek "salon look" which is the last thing to make me the BOMB DIYer.
