Video of my 6 month stretch results

[aquajoyice]

Hi ladies,

I just posted a video on youtube showing my 6 month stretch results. Instead of doing a lot of picture I just put together a video of my flat ironing and doing a trim. I ended my stretch on Oct 17 and I could definitely tell a difference between my new growth and hair that had been texlaxed every 8 weeks. Let me know what you think!!!

I like the way you trim your hair. Your hair is beautiful. What was your protective styles during your stretch? Also was it hard for you to stretch that long?

Thank-you I think I made it more complicated than what it really should have been. Since this was my first stretch past 8 weeks I was expecting this massive amount of new growth to make it difficult. So I began wearing protective styles too early. I started wearing them religiously at 3 months. And now that I think about it I could have wore my hair out more up until the 4th month. My new growth was still manageable. So that's one mistake i wont do again. And another is to detangle more often then what I did towards the end. I had a hard time getting through my new growth during the texlax process. At one point I got really impatient and wasn't carefully detangling and probably lost more hair than I needed too.

My protective styles consisted of a lot of buns, french braids, braid outs, I used Mixed chicks a couple times.... and anything creative that protected my ends and ensured low manipulation.

Yes I can say i'm 100% bra strap for sure. My hair is about half and inch past my bra. So I have some ways to go until I hit MBL

How long's your next stretch gonna be?

Very pretty.
Your length had me fooled there for a minute.
How did the ponytails cause breakage for you? I wear them frequently so now I am concerned.
Are you BSL or MBL?

I wore my pontails really really tight just about everyday. And I wasn't using ouchless ponytail holders. I've learned my lesson and now i'm very careful when wearing my hair up.
My hair is a full BSL, I wont claim MBL until my hair is thickand full at that point. I'm not about scraggly ends getting me there LOL.

What was some of the main products you used for detangling your hair?? I am at the beginning of my 9th weeks and this is the longest I have every stretched in my entire life.
