Hello! Today marks four weeks post relalxer. At this point, I am starting to notice a little budding of NG. I am attempting to stretch for 16 weeks. I belive that I am can really do it this time. I have noticed that at 10 weeks, I have very little NG to relax. I am going to attempt this long stretch in hopes of reaching BSL this year. I am so excited about actually reaching goals this year. I have been in this grazing APL rut for too long.
What will get me to greater lengths this year? I believe that I have figured out a couple of things that are going to push me to where I need to be.
1, I am going to attempt more braid outs. I have found products that can make my braid out last longer.
2, I am going to increase my vitamin intake. I have slacked off this year because I didn't want the vitmains and the medicine for my flu/pnuemonia to counteract, so I let my vitamins fall off for right now. I will promptly pick up on them tonight.
3, I am going to attempt rollersetting for a couple of months. I have seen such great results with roller setting for long periods of time.
4, I am going to increase the amount of castor oil I will be using.
The sad part about this is that I believe that I would have had great length this year already if it wasn't for the setback I suffered at the salon. I see where there are long strands of hair that were finally emerging from the length that it has seen for so long. I believe that the patch of hair that was snatched out at the hands of the stylist would have been at a much greater length. Instead, it is much shorter than a lot of other strands in my head, and I have been nursing it back to health.
Hopefully, I can continue to create diverse styles that will keep me from looking boring. I will attempt another style next week. It will be a little similar to this style that I currently rocking but the twist style will be different. I believe that I will have another style in my hair by next Tuesday. I have been rocking this style for about two days now. I am trying to hold on to it for another three days. After five days, I plan to wash and do it again.
Well, thank you for reading. I plan to have more posts for you to read very soon.

What new products are you using for your braidouts? I think I'm going to give braidout another try as well. I plan to relax after I give birth (7 months post relaxer). I figure braidouts will help blend my new growth.I just have to find the right products and techniques. Good luck on your stretch! Sounds like you have a good plan.
ReplyDeleteThank you both for your comments.
ReplyDelete@Blutiful Blaq - congrats on the bun, lol, soror. Right now, I have quite a few products that I am going to try with my braidouts. One will be Cantu Leave in with a small amount of Aloe Vera. Another product combo will be foam lotion with barely diluted setting lotion. Another combo will be my creamy leave in of my choice and a small amount of aloe vera. I hope this can help you. When are you due???
Well please share your experience with the products you use. I'm really gonna attempt to master this style. Thank you Soror! I'm due June 23rd. It will be here before I know it.
