How many times this year will you relax?

[WhipEffectz1]

I want to relax only two times this year but because I will be six months next month in April and would be do for one in October but I would want one in December for the holidays. With that said, what is everybody's goal for relaxers as far as numbers go?

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

2 times.

 

[Mitre]

2 times. My first attempt was 5mths 2week.

 

[WhipEffectz1]

2 times. My first attempt was 5mths 2week.

That was still pretty good.

Sweet Ambrosia, have you always relaxed twice a year?

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

Sweet Ambrosia, have you always relaxed twice a year?

Nope.
I've been relaxing twice a year since 2004.
Before then i use to relax every 2-3 months.

 

[jaded_faerie]

so far ive only relaxed once and i plan on having only 1 this year.

 

[Isis]

Well, twice per year does sound good. However, I've been doing it every 13 weeks which is 4 times per year.

 

[Poohbear]

zero times!

 

[SherryLove]

twice a year --- my next relaxer is scheduled for some time in august ......

 

[esoterica]

i relaxed back in january and hopefully thats my only one this year!

 

[luv04]

well after 10 weeks i did relax this year i waited. i had planned on strecthing it out longer but i hope for only 2-3 . i think that is obtainable and it can be done with strecthing it out. so wish me luck and happy growing ladies..

 

[Allandra]

I always get a relaxer touch up three times a year (every four months). My schedule is January, May and September.

 

[UmSumayyah]

I'm thinking of going to every 13 weeks, which is 4 times.

 

[LaNecia]

I'm planning on retouching only 3 times this year. Ferbuary, June & October.

Good luck ladies!!

This is my plan as well.

 

[simplycee]

In 2004 I relaxed March, Sept and the end of Dec. I'm planning to relax 4 times this year (every 3 months) but it might be less if I wear braids again this summer.

 

[kombov_dymond]

I think 4 times is plenty. SherryL, how do you do it only twice?

 

[bocagirl]

Seven times

 

[chocolate01]

I don't plan on relaxing at all this year

 

[WesternEyes]

Every 4 months is my scheduele, but i think i'm going to try every 6 months which would make it twice a year. When i space out my relaxers this long i don't have as much breakage and dryness of my hair.

 

[mochamadness]

I'll relax 3 times this year.

 

[brownhaired_bonanza]

I'm not really good with math or anything, but I get relaxers every 8 weeks, so that equals 2 months, and there's 12 months in a year... so I get about 6 touch-ups annually. I think that's about right.

Does your hair suffer any from the 8 week schedule. I am considering quitting the 10-12 week wait for an 8 week one.

I had planned on relaxing only 4-5 times max.

 

[Tami]

I plan to relax 4 times, every 12 weeks!

 

[Neroli]

Last year I relaxed 4 times, approximately every 12 weeks. This year I want to relax only 3 times and stretch an extra 12 weeks by wearing braids during the summer.

 

[brownhaired_bonanza]

Does your hair suffer any from the 8 week schedule?

No. I've always gotten my hair relaxed in that time period. If I go longer I'll experience breakage. I don't think my hair could handle the stretching thing.

 

[karezone]

Which relaxer do you use?

Can you pm me your regimen?

 

[myco]

Every 12 weeks - 4x this year.

 

[PaperDoll]

[missvi]
