My normal stretch is 12 weeks - right now I'm at week 20 and I'll get a touch up before Xmas. I could not go past 8 weeks without braids because my 4B hair is hair to manage without breakage.
This year I have managed to stretch 12-14 wks. My last relaxer will be the end of Nov or sometimes early in Dec. This will be my 4th relaxer for the year. This is basically where I want to be, at least for the time being. I don't do braids, so this will be my max.
