[brwnskingirl]

Its been about 2 weeks and a half since I got a touch up, how much more longer should I wait to get braids?

I always wait 4 weeks post relaxer to get braids.

 

[brwnskingirl]

damn thats long....I want to keep the braids in at least 2 months.

It just depends on your hair. If you think your hair can handle getting braids now then by all means do it!

before christmas will be about three and a half weeks

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

So when are you going to get the braids done?

 

[brwnskingirl]

Just in time for Christmas. I am sure your hair will be ok! Good Luck!

I would base it on how much new growth you have b/c you don't want to put all that stress on your relaxed hair that has already been weakened (by the relaxer). The point at which your braids start is where the most pressure is, therefore you should try to have your strongest hair there -newgrowth.
