How long does it take you to witness new growth post relaxer

[teezee22]

4 weeks for me

 

[C@ssandr@]

It depends. I voted 4 weeks since that's typical. With my vitamins, the earliest was a week...could not believe it.

 

[Prinncipality]

usually at week 5 or 6

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

i notice by the 4th-5th week range. It drives me crazy sometimes, lol.

 

[destine2grow]

I don't notice until 4 wks. I will be 8 wks post and the sides and nape of my hair does not have a lot of new growth.

 

[JMH1908]

I'd say about between 2-4 weeks depending on the time of the year..I grow faster in the summer..

My newgrowth starts poppin' at 1 week post relaxer. This is why I thought it was ok to get a relaxer every 4 weeks. I mean, hey there's newgrowth relax it!

I also think this is why I really didn't like my hair until it was about 2 weeks post. Somehow my overprocessed strands would rebound and give me my thickness back by then. Boy I'm lucky to still have hair on my head!

 

[poookie]

i feel little new growth bumps after 2 weeks post.

 

[bestblackgirl]

About 5 weeks post

 

[determined_to_grow]

about 3 1/2 weeks... Grrrr

 

[prisytomboy]

between 2-3....I voted 3 weeks....if I didn't know any better I would say my relaxed wear out...

 

[*CherryPie*]

about 2 weeks.

 

[SmilingElephant]

3 weeks for me...thats when i have to break out the Mane n Tale detangler spray!!

 

[ceebee3]

Wow, you all have some fast growing hair! I don't notice new growth until 8 weeks post, and even then it's really not much.

 

[*Muffin*]

That one was a tricky one. Usually within 2 weeks I can feel the beginning "bumps" of my coils coming in, but I don't actually "see" it coming in until 4 weeks.

 

[CurlTalk]

Two weeks flat

 

[CaliDiamond]

b-u-m-p-i-n-g

 

[beans4reezy]

For me, in about six weeks I see NG.

 

[yardgirl]

I'm exactly one week post and I've used my MT mix on 4 of the past 7 days. I can feel the texture difference on my crown. These teeny weeny waves. Not even 1/16th of an inch but I can tell. Typically nothing happens until the 3 week mark.

 

[aquafinawetwet]

i think it took me about 6 weeks that's when i realized

 

[melissa-bee]

Seriously about 8 weeks. I must be ill.

 

[bellebebe]

About 2 weeks.

 

[hiphoprocker]

im almost at two weeks post right now and new growth is very minimum at best lol. i think i can feel the tiniest little crinkle but nothing to write home about. it does seem like it takes some time. i can definitely feel the difference between weeks 6 and 7 for example but not really between weeks 1 and 2. i think i've read that the stress of the relaxer process might halt new growth right after a touch up but then new growth comes back with a vengeance!!

 

[bestblackgirl]

That's when I usually notice new growth too.

 

[Tolle]

About 4 weeks.

 

[Ashleescheveux]

About 3-4 weeks

I think how soon you notice your regrowth coming in is dependant on your curl pattern - 4bs are more likely to notice growth earlier than somone with type 3 hair because the type 3's hair may grow straight for the first 1/4 inch before it curls up. I also think some people confuse underprocessed hair with new growth. When I'm relaxed bon straight I notice growth at 3-4 weeks, but as I purposely underprocessed my relaxer at my last touch up, it will be harder to notice it this time.

I used to notice the new growth at around 5 weeks post. Now that I am taking Phyto Cap Energy I noticed it at 3 weeks post.

Now if only I would retain ...

I don't know. It sneaks up on me. One minute it's sleek, then next it's a forest.
