Hi ladies! I am 41 weeks and 1 day post relaxer! I thought I was going to relax back in June for my birthday but I didn't. This is the longest I have ever stretched!
I am currently 3 weeks post and starting to feel lots of new growth. My biggest challenge is trying to get past the typical 8 week relaxer schedule. This is truly an improvement over my every six week fall/winter schedule and every four week summer relaxer schedule. It's a wonder that I have any hair on my head!! I find that my breakage increases after 8 weeks. I am determined to try it this fall/winter, just need to find something to deal with this type 4 dense new growth (but fine strand hair) that does not result in a setback.
I'm 4 weeks post today and I am stretching to 17 weeks post. I want to try for a year, but I dont think i am ready or have the resources yet. So im going to go until the last week of december
11 weeks exactly today, stretching to 12 weeks. I've got only about 0.5" of new growth and will be trimming .5-1.5" of split ends (hair is different lengths all over from severe breakage a few months ago). That will be the official starting point for my hair journey.
Only 7 weeks but it feels like more- which I'm taking as a blessing because it means I have some good growth. Let's hope my ends cooperate so I can retain it! I was going to try and wait 13 weeks but think I may take the plunge a lot earlier...my 30th birthday is coming up soon and unless I weave it up or something I refuse to fight this NG while trying to look fly for my week long celebration.

I'm 6 months post relaxer & did a mini BC yesterday! I just want the option of curls back for bad hair days! I'm going to attempt a twist out & I'm hoping my relaxed ends on the top cooperate.......
