dumb question for type 3 relaxed heads

[me-T]

how do/did you know when it was time for a touch up?

 

[tatiana]

easy, i just waited a minimum of 3 months.
sometimes longer I did not have a set touch up schedule.
my ng was duller, wavier, and frizzier

I'd usually get a touch-up every three months or so.

When the roots would get wavy. Im a 4a\3c with fine hair sometimes I would only touch up when I felt like it after about 6 mos. This is before I was on the boards or even knew about stretching I could get my hair very straight just by wrapping then flat ironing so sometimes quite a bit of time would pass before I relaxed again.

I used to get touchups every 4 months when I lived in Florida. The new growth at the hairline would get frizzy/fuzzy looking by month 3 or thereabouts. Otherwise, my hair used to get quite straight with roller setting.

When I moved to lower-humidity Europe, I relaxed once a year - in the summer - as my hair frizzed up less.

That's one of the reasons I stopped relaxing (I only did it twice though ). I couldn't really see any difference between the new growth and the relaxed hair and it still took me 45 mins-1 hour to straighten it after washing.
It was pointless to me...

When I was relax and due my roots were wavy and it would not wrap good.
