your welcome. Im stretching now because I won't have the money to go to my stylist on the 16th. Im currently 7 weeks post. Im holding on to the money to pay my bills. This won't be the first time I've stretched. The last time I didn't do enough protein treatments and it costed me a lot of breakage. Not this time, Im doing a protein treatment every week. I also have Cantu shea butter leave in cream and chi keratin mist to help with that.

Yeah, if you do protein treatments regularly, you should be fine. Coconut Oil is also good to use because it helps to strengthen your hair.

thank you, Im gonna try that this time. I seal with coconut oil daily, and Im in the coconut oil challenge on Hairlista so I should be good to go. Every other day I put Cantu shea butter leave in on my new growth. That has been helping. When I don't wanna smell the shea butter, I spray the keratin mist on my new growth, and sometimes throughout my hair. I rotate between the two.
