How long do you stretch your relaxer?

[femalegold]

Thank you Ladies!! I've noticed that most of you with pictures who stretch 1-4 times a year, your hair is thick and healthy. I'm going to try it. I'm only on week 8 but I'm hoping to last till the end of Dec.

Lately I have been stretching my relaxer for 5 mo. It's doing wonders for my hair, but that is the longest that i have been able to stretch so far

I'm trying to get to 12 weeks for the first time and I'm on week 9.
I'm thinking about relaxing next week at 10 because I'm having a tuff time trying to keep the new growth tamed but I'm taking it week by week. I dont want to do more harm than good.

last time I went 14 or 15 weeks. I know I didnt make four months. I started shedding like crazy.

This time I plan to go at least 12 weeks but no more than 14.
So every 3 months or so is my goal.

I dont want to relax no more than 4 times a year.

I'm still trying to get my schedule down, but my last stretch was for 3 months,then I relaxed 06/06. I've been stretching since. Hopefully, I'll be able to hold out until December for my first 6 month stretch!
