Hola Luvs
I have been thinking about relaxing my new growth sooner than later...I have stretched for 4 months (close to five) in the previous year /s. This is good but I think to retain my length/growth (from last year epic breakage situation :( ) I should probably relax sooner than later ...until my hair is ready/able to stretch again... I am at least 7 weeks post relaxer .. So, it would be now or later...
What are your thoughts? Think I should take the plunge or hold fast?
Thoughts and comments welcomed!
Muahz!

That's the million dollar question: when or even if you should relax.
ReplyDeleteKLP dices: I've noticed that the two biggest reasons I get the urge to forgo stretching is because (1) I start to see breakage at the line of demarcation (the place where your relaxed hair meets your unrelaxed hair) or (2) I feel that I need to use heat to blend my two textures.
To curb breakage, once I'm 5-6 weeks post relaxer, I add a little more protein into my wash days to fortify my hair.
To blend my two textures, I start experimenting with different braids, buns, and other protective styles that don't require me to have my roots flat and sleek. Hey--if you can't beat it; you might as well roll with it!
Hold fast if you can make it!
I am going to hold fast! I will prob spiral my hair next wash and I will def add more protien.
