STRETCHING TIPS FOR SHORT HAIR

[DDTexlaxed]

I am thinking about stretching for 12 weeks, but I don't know how my hair will react. It is cut into a bob and my nape is shaved short. I don't know how it will look and react. Can someone give me some stretching tips for short hair? I can definitely stretch longer when it gets longer.

keep your roots flat ironed. If you use moderate heat you should be OK.

Or could you just gel/slick your hair down in the back so you won't have to be bothered with styling it?

Or maybe you want to just install a weave until you have a little more hair in the back?

Rollerset.

Invest in a good conditioner for co-washing.

Invest in a growth aid.

I'm going to be wrapping my hair, mostly. I am trying to figure out how to keep my hair happy and healthy.Co washing made my hair mushy when I was natural. I'll try it again to see if my relaxed hair likes it.

I would say try everyone's suggestions and I understand that you want to do what's best for your hair...

but sometimes the best isn't always the best for you, you know?

Not to be discouraging at all, but that's a pretty difficult style to manage with a lot of new growth. Just keep in mind that you can always stretch when you're longer

Before I decided to just go au natural, I co-washed and used growth aids. Also, I invested in a wig and phony ponytails.
