How long do you wait to get a relaxer???

[HappilyLiberal]

I voted 3 months (13 weeks) because that is my normal relaxer schedule. But I am currently attempting a 6 month stretch with the option to go 18 months if things are OK at 6 month intervals. After this lengthy stretch I will probably try to move it to a 4 month (17-18 weeks) relaxer schedule.

9 months for me

I cant go any longer than 8 wks now.

I just finished my first 14 week stretch and it was easier that I thought it would be. I'm going for another 14 week stretch to see if that time limit is ok for me. Otherwise, I'll go back to relaxing every 12 weeks.

I usually go 8 to 10 weeks.

BTW: I am pretty new here and trying to learn from you ladies! Thanks

I stretch for 6 months. I'm not going to even LOOK at a relaxer until winter break in December.

Every 12-15 weeks I would say. In the past I've gone anywhere from between 4 to 8 months.

@Toy:Is it because of your length or your hairs thickness? Which by the way is fabulous.
