Made it to eighteen and a half weeks, but between my accident, school, and work I just had to relax it. My new growth was taking too much time and effort.
6, but it feels like more! In some areas I think I already have about an inch of NG! I don't bother measuring, so IDK. But I'm going to wait until I'm at least 10 weeks post before I relax.
15 weeks post, I am have started researching for what my relaxer will be. I am going to start doing it myself. Wish me luck ladies!
ETA: a lot of wow factor, reading how long some of you ladies have not relaxed! Keep up your good work! I assume those over a year post are transitioning? Pretty cool seeing the numbers in weeks.
Last week I hit 8-weeks post relaxer, which was my regular relaxer time. I am transitioning since I've had breakage at my crown (scarring alopecia) and at my edges (alopecia areata).
for my stylist began charging me her pressing fee.. ($55!). I go every other week.
Need to start practicing some styles that do no require heat. I am trying to avoid wrapping because I've had some breakage because of it. I've been pincurling, but I hate how short it makes my barely shoulder-length hair look (makes me look neck length). Plus the curls can look really wacky depending on how I sleep, so I end up using heat to correct.
14 Weeks post, wanted to do a 6 month stretch, but I self-relaxed the last time
and I think I was a bit under processed, or over texlaxed lol, because when I flatiron
my hair its just on big puff and I cant even detangle properly which in turn is causing slight breakage...so looks like I'll be relaxing again soon.
question: Would you relax the ng and the under processed/texlaxed or just
ng? So confusing
16 wks post right now. Longest I've gone was 18 wks. Not sure when I'll relax, just taking it week by week but I'm going to at least go to 20 wks. Everything is manageable except for this lousy palm sized section right where the back of my head meets my pillow, lol...
