Ended 9 Month Stretch

I finally got a chance to relax my hair after a long stretch.  I was pleased with the results and the health of my hair overall. My hair is definitely thicker than it has ever been, but it's hard to tell when I flat iron it.  I will try to add some pics with it styled later this week since I have a job interview and plan to wear it curled.  I do plan to trim it later this month (most likely after my first wash) so that my hair is even across.  It always grows like this no matter how much I trim it.  However, I have a question...can someone tell me a good rinse or dye to use to cover gray hair?  It's not a lot, but I want it gone lol.  Thanks for any suggestions.  Have a blessed evening!!!

  1. I love your length! Someone recently posted about an all natural dye called Noni. Can't remember who but she had great things to say about it and when I looked it up on Amazon it does look to be pretty safe.

  3. Thanks for posting. It does look thinner, I'm sure it will thicken back up in a few weeks. I wish I could get past APL without cutting. Look forward to more pics.

  7. Hi Special K...thank you. I'm not sure, I think I really like keeping my stretches at 6 months. Most of the time if I go longer it's because I don't have time to relax at the moment. We'll see though. Have a great weekend!!!

  10. You made great progress. I love our length. Successfully stretching 9 months is amazing! My longest stretch was 16 weeks and it was NOT a breeze.

  12. I agree with Jen. Kudos to you for stretching that long. I would have had tons of breakage and probably a huge setback. LOL. Your hair grew a lot. Congrats!

  13. @ DessyGT~thank you. I will be relaxing soon after a 7 month stretch. I actually got about 3-4 inches cut off because of thin ends. Thanks for stopping by :-).
