The longest I stretched my relaxer this year has been 10 weeks. It is going very well so far and I intend to continue for an undetermined amount of time.

The longest I have ever stretched my relaxer was for 12 weeks. Now, I'm transitioning to natural...no more relaxers for me!
 
^^^Oh my goodness, are you trying to go natural or what. That's a long time. Tell me girl, how did you maintain?
 
My last relaxer was September 12, so I'm at the 12 weeks mark. It was easy up until this point...now it seems like my new growth is ganging up on me! Can't wait for a touch up next week.

im transitioning as well. what's helped me to prevent breakage is avoiding excessive combing/brushing & heat, and keeping it moisturized. ;)

By only combing while wet/damp and making sure the roots are well moisturized (I use unbraid spray and WGO for that). I'm finding MNT conditioner makes it easier to comb through wet or damp hair. HTH!
 
The longest I've gone this year was from March to Sept. I wore braids during this time to give my hair a break from relaxers. I usually relax every twelve weeks. I'm do for a touch up soon. I just get cornrows from about week 8 to get me through to week 12. Doing this has helped me retain length.
 
14 weeks. From now on, I have decided to relax every 12 weeks, though, for a total of 4 touch-ups a year. This seems to be the best point for me--not too much breakage and maximum benefits :).
 
Right now I am on week 13. I have 3 more weeks before I relax again. My last relaxer was Sept. 16.
 
the longest for me this year was 9 months. I had in a weave March and took that down in May and have been wearing braids since then, I had my last relaxer of the year last weekend and getting more braids this weekend so I am trying to relaxer my hair 2-3 times a year.
 
I am in my longest stretch now, which is 4 mon. :antlers: I am trying to extend to 6 mon. Earlier this year I was doing 3 mon. stretches. :)
 
I stretch every 13 weeks. The longest this year was 16 weeks but that wasn't on purpose.
 
10 weeks. I tried to hold out longer, but my hair started shedding like a bad fur coat
 
I texturized touched up twice this year. The first time in March 04' and the second time October 04'. So the first time was 5 months, and the second time was 7 months. Since I relaxed my hair after being fully natural for two years, I knew that I could go for a very long time without relaxing.
