			<description><![CDATA[ <!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="font-family:georgia;">For awhile.<br>
<br>
This is a protective style for me... It's very time consuming, but the results overall are so worth it!  I believe it will also contribute to those who are on other challenges like the no heat or no trimming challenges.<br>
<br>
I notice that when I keep up with rollersetting, it keeps my ends perfect!  I also don't need to flat iron or blow dry.  </span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> ]]></description>

This is big for me because I like my flat iron and it is hard to get hair straight without heat.  My hair is also thick and 4b in texture.  But, I had my hair relaxed with Motions and done in a flexirod set under the dryer on the 17th and I saw how good my hair could look without heat  and how much breakage my stylist said I had so I was like ok time to lay off of the heat.

<br>
I am doing a personal MTG Challenge.  I plan on growing at least 10  inches of hair by March/April of 2007.  So I am embarking on a 6 mth relaxer stretch.  Right now I am 5 weeks so I have quite a while to go.<br>
<br>
I am looking to get advice from those who have done the stretches for months at a time.  What tips can you give me?<br>
<br>
Any advice helps, thanks in advance.<br>
