Focusing on DIY healthy hair care techniques and growth~plus a little makeup for good measure!
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
Good for you. I'm glad you found your stretching point. I have stretched up to 6 mos, but b/c I have no desie to transition anymore I felt it was a little unecessary given all the potential damage and extreme sensitivity of my relaxed hair. It required so much more TLC than I expected. Luckily, I didn't have breakage, but I vowed 12+ only during the summer/increased cowashing. I stretch 8-12 now.
Yeah I decided I better cut it off at 10-12 weeks because 14 was a little much for me. I didn't have any breakage, but I think it was too time consuming to manage for me. I agree maybe summer is a better time to stretch longer because I can do more washing.
