I stretched my hair out 1month after having a relaxer and put braids in. I have had the braids in for 2mon so I am stretching a total of 4mon now. My question is should I get a relaxer after I take my braids outs before getting my braids redone? I was thinking of not relaxing and just going ahead and puttin in braids for another 2mon. I wasn't sure if this is a good idea because of the potential for breakage between the new growth and the old relaxed hair.

Girl don't be scured! I have 5 full inches of new growth right now and about 12 inches of relaxed hair! I don't have breakage, actually my hair is at it's healthest. MOISTURE IS THE KEY. Keep your braids sprayed daily with a mixture of better braid spray and infusium 23. You'll be fine. I just took out my braids (only after a month) and I hardly had any shedding. I'll post pics of the blow out that I "plan" on doing this weekend. ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |
