Exactly 4 weeks post relaxer today. I just finished my first 10 week stretch and pushing for 12wks this time. My relaxer months are January, April, July and October.
Going into 13 weeks and I swear this happened by accident. I thought I would be doing big things if I waited 10 weeks and here I am considering another 7 without a weave. What am I thinking??
8 weeks and struggling! my new growth is about 1inch long and coarse. I'll only be able to make another week as i'm beginning to see breakage from coming from the new growth to the relaxed hair. I haven't been using the steam room at the gym to do my deep conditions and so this has limited my stretch.
I'm going to relax again. I put in the braids because I experienced a setback while relaxing. I didn't want to wear short hair so I decided to wear box braids for two years until it grows back.
