I am 10 weeks post today. I normally go between 10 and 12 weeks but what do you do to avoid breagage and excessive shedding if you want to go longer? My hair acts up when I get to a certain point.

I'm 6 weeks. ^^^ This is why I stop stretching. The cons outweighed the pros.

I'll be 6 months post sometime in March. I've decided not to relax anymore since everything I do to my hair doesn't really need a relaxer. I like my texture and hate the thought of relaxing so i'm on my journey to becoming natural.

I'm not transitioning but I am 58 weeks. I've been wearing braids since December 2009. I have another 10/16 months left in my two year stretch.

Because in October 2009 I relaxed my hair and left my precious Phytorelaxer Index II too long. It didn't burn my scalp but it chopped off my hair. I had to cut it and then decided to braid it up because I realized that I didn't like my hair short.

In retrospect, I did the right thing because now my edges are slowly coming in and I was having a hard time getting the left side of my hair to grow evenly. I come to reason that it's because I didn't protect my hair during the relaxing process, I needed to apply profectiv or vaseline on my already relaxed ends. So this past year has been a learning process and next time I'll leave the relaxer on for no more than 20/25 minutes.
