Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up???

[Aggie]

I'll be 23 weeks post this coming weekend. I will try to aim for at least a year and re-access how my hair is doing before I texlax again. But I'll report here on how long this stretch is this time around.

 

[Aggie]

Hows it going!? How are you handling your demarcation line?

OMG! I just realized you changed your screen name. If it wasn't for your avi pic, I woulda totally missed this.

The only other way I would have known it was you is when you start talking about how much you love grease

Relaxed yesterday, eight weeks post which is unusual for me but I had an unusual amount of NG. Will do a longer stretch this time round.

 

[Lymegreen]

I’m going to relax on Wednesday at 8 weeks.

 

[Fotchygirl]

I relaxed again last week Thursday at 8 weeks post after being under processed in December. I got someone to do it for me and coached them through it. It turned out nice and he removed all my texlaxed hair which was causing me tangles.

I relaxed last Friday at 9 weeks post.

What relaxer did you use and are you happy with the results as I know you didn’t like your previous one.

 

[Rozlewis]

10 weeks post and 6 more to go.

 

[MzSwift]

I’ll be 7 weeks post tomorrow. Nine more weeks to go. Next relaxer is on my calendar for May 4th.

It feels good to have my relax days pre-scheduled for the year. Seeing it on my calendar makes it feel more like a goal I’m achieving. It’s also helped me plan trips, etc. No special trips scheduled the week leading up to my relax days.

 

[sunnieb]

11 weeks post. Still aiming for 16 weeks and will reassess.

 

[sunnieb]

Maaann what ya’ll got going on in here! Lol all of this stretching is gonna cause me to have stretch marks! Gotta break out the cocoa butter messing with you ladies! Lol

8 weeks. Going for 12 weeks.

Me too.

After 2 years of texlaxing every 6 weeks, I’ve grown out my hair and am ready to try stretching to 3 months at a time.

The key for me is working at keeping my roots soft, manageable and untangled while so much new growth is coming in.

I just started using Alterna Scalp Stimulator and Alterna Nourising Hair Milk just on my new growth, and that’s really helping a lot. I seal with rosehip, jojoba or grapeseed oil.

I’m hoping this will help with the line of demarcation and help the whole strand stay strong for another month, until I texlax again.

Hhj ladies!

 

[Aggie]

I'm officially 23 weeks post my last texlaxer this weekend and have a minimum of 29 weeks to go. I really want to big chop at the end of this stretch. We shall see how this goes.

 

[lalla]

This is one of the most precise relaxer application I've ever seen.

 

[sunnieb]

12 weeks post and still doing fine.

I'm still using the Affirm Fiberguard. I want to use it up before I switch to something else.

I hear that, I mean it's not exactly cheap. I'm finding the original Affirm to be quite good. I have two kits left so I will repurchase when I do my next touch up.

 

[Aggie]

25 weeks post my last texlaxer today and have at least 53 more weeks to go. I kept increasing it, I'm sorry ladies. I need to get these stringy demi=colored ends off my head before I decide what I will be doing to it moving forward. It could end up being a little longer than that but so far, that's what I've committed to for now. ((crosses fingers)).

Wow so 18 months, are you going to transition Aggie?

I really believe so @LushLox. It will depend on how manageable my hair is at the end of those 18 months however.

I must admit that my roots are still surprisingly soft . I have no idea why. I think I never really gave my natural hair a 100% fighting chance though.

 

[TLC1020]

I'm 8 weeks post, not sure when I'm going to relax because Friday I'm getting braids to give my hair a much need break. I'm tired of wearing my hair down and I'm tired of wearing my hair in a bun, although wearing the bun is my go to protective style.

 

[Lymegreen]

2 weeks post and loving it. Going my hair out to a lob. I got a side part and got rid of the angled back. I’ll relax at 8 weeks.

 

[sunnieb]

13 weeks post. Hoping to make it to June before relaxing again.

@Aggie girl, just gon' on and join the natural threads! We'll miss you!

 

[Sosoothing]

10 weeks post. I'm probably going to braid my hair for at least 6 weeks before I relax again.

 

[Rozlewis]

12 weeks post and 5 more to go.

Aww, thanks hon . I like it in here though. It will keep me on track with the depth of my stretch. I don't want to lose track of that and this thread keeps me on track. I may just stay here for a while longer just in case I change my mind.
