Cherrelle won! I do not know what happened this time around but Cherrelle is not feeling this stretching situation. I am currently 18 weeks post and there is no way I should have this much hair drama this early in my stretch. The longest I’ve ever stretched was 26 weeks but when I think about it, I was wearing wigs most of the time. I am still wearing wigs now but not as much.
I do not have a ton of new growth and I may have about 2.5″ since January. Which is about normal, .5″ per month. It’s not that my hair is doing super crazy things or anything out of the norm: no breakage, shedding, fairy knots, etc. My new growth is exceptionally thick this time around. I don’t know what happened but I can barely see my scalp through all of my curls.
By the way, it seems that my curls have loosened a little more. My natural texture is a 3C but now it seems to be 3B in the back and 3A in the front. Yes, I can tell my texture by having the texlaxed ends. Anywho, I am noticing more frizz in my hair lately. My hair is not coarse, just frizzy as all get out. I look like a wet poodle with curly roots. I can’t take it!
Cherrelle is not cooperating with my decision to stretch until my birthday in September and I am tired of the frustration and arguing with her to act right. No, really…we argue and get into brawls on wash day. I am telling y’all she has called me out of my name and everything, just disrespectful. I am tired of the hair drama so I decided to be the bigger person and just do what she wants me to do.
I am going to texlax next weekend and be done with it. If you are wondering why I am not texlaxing this week, here is a post about my texlax preparation. I have to start getting her ready the week before and she will be ready to go next Saturday.
I still haven’t made up my mind about cutting Cherrelle but knowing me, I will whip out the shears and go to work on a whim. Stay tuned to see how the process turns out next weekend. I will say, I am leaning more toward cutting her up to Waist Length but with me, you never know.
Have you had any recent hair drama? Should I cut Cherrelle or let her grow?

That’s hilarious, I love how you describe your hair like a person. I seriously feel the same way about my hair too. Just does whatever she likes, whenever. But I’ve had her more under-control, as of recent. Good luck with your texlax next week!

Oh yes, my hair is feisty and has her own persona. LOL My texlax turned out great.
