How many weeks post are you? Just being nosey

[carribslc]

I'll be 11 weeks post relaxer this week. The new growth and I are wrestling! Thank God for S-Curl.

 

[Brees_hair]

Almost six weeks...hopefully will stretch between 14-16 weeks. The braids will be my savior, and hopefully no set backs. But so far, so good. keeping my fingers crossed.

5 weeks post, I plan on a retouch at 8 weeks since I am seeing a little faster growth for some reason? I have been massaging my scalp with Amla Oil two days prior to my routine shampoo. I will measure from cown to tip after the relaxer to see if it is just my imagination.

1 month 2 weeks and 6 days..

ETA: woops I am such a goof...I am 7 weeks

 

[PearsonS]

17 weeks. Trying to go a full year before deciding if I want to relax again.

Thanks for all of your replies ladies. Yall make me feel like a stretching wimp. I think I am doing it if I go 10 weeks. Maybe I will try to shoot for atleast 13 weeks.

Oh don't feel bad! Last week I was doing some serious comtemplating because my new growth was acting out! I couldn't get it to lay down, it didn't want to behave, I put on the scarf it would bunch up and start screaming at me, "let me out of here gurl!"

June is my pipe dream. Maybe the cassia will be helpful in the stretching...one can hope anyway.

Realistically I'll probably do it in March because I already between 1-2 inches of growth already ( and I don't even know what I did to make that happen!) The no combing for 3-4 days seemed to have worked a little TOO well

so do what you feel is necessary! Sometimes its best to go ahead and relax instead of waiting around.

[OneInAMillion]

21 weeks and still counting...I'm stretching until whenever, no rush.

I'm about 7 weeks post relaxer. I'm trying out this stretching thing for the first time. So far, so good. My ng hasn't given me any real trouble yet.

I'm 4 weeks and 1 day post. I'm trying to build up my stretch time gradually. I'll be relaxing on March 10th at 8 weeks (the weekend before my 21st birthday!!!). My next touch-up will be at 10 weeks (the 3rd weekend in May) before my trip to New York. After that, I want to stretch during the entire summer months and touch-up before fall semester begins.

 

[Treasure2k6]

8 Weeks on this tuesday. I am going to try and stretch beyond my normal 13 weeks. I haven't ahd an issue with new growth just yet....the impatient part of me "Wants to Relax!" LOL

 

[BellaCranberry7]

I'm 13 weeks, but I'm in the great debate about transitioning. I'l probably see how long i can go.

 

[Sosoothing]

This is a little unusual but I dont know how many weeks post I am. I dont remember when I last relaxed but it was last month.
I notice that I am so eager to see how much length I have gained so come 8 weeks, I relax even if I can stretch longer. So Im just going to wait until I have lots of growth that I dont want to deal with.

You got some thick hair. Do you texlax? What relaxer do you use?

Nope. I relax fully(keep the relaxer on for a few mins longer than recommended) but my hair just comes out like that. I used Revlon Lye regular for a long time and it wasnt strong enough for me. I used profective lye regular for the past 3 touch ups and I liked it. I think I will stick with it for now.

 

[MizAvalon]

Wow, I thought that I was really doing something with my little 20 weeks. Some of you ladies are stretching hardcore!

 

[CaramelPrincezz]

I'll be 8 weeks post on Saturday...tryna make it another 8 weeks...erplexed

 

[janeemat]

I will be 11wks Wed. I'm pushing for 12, but I don't know. I'm seriously thinking about getting a relaxer Sat. I don't think that's so bad for a first time stretch. My hair can really tell the diffence.

 

[Radianthealth]

I probably already answered

But now I am 12 weeks post shooting for 24

I will be putting in braids this weekend.

 

[InnerSoul]

I am approximately 3 weeks post...and I won't relax again until the last week in April. I stretch my relaxers to 3 months.. and it has helped my hair get in better condition because of it.
