I like to relax from week 12 to 16, but it very hard to stretch after 12 weeks

You have probably relaxed by now, but to answer your question anyway; I relax every 12-16 weeks. But mostly I try to listen to what my hair needs at the time. Because breakage is not better than the principle of stretching.
Also I texlax, I have heard alot of rave reviews on ORS and all I really do to texlax is add oil, 1 tbsp of either coconut or olive or both and 1/2 oz of Chi Silk infusion. I get good texlax results using this method.

I relax every twelve weeks. I think waiting this long is great for the health of my hair. It doesn't seem as fine and 'horrid' as my stylist made it seem.

You have really pretty thick hair
I've never heard of adding Chi to the relaxer, i will try this next time, because your hair looks lovely!

Oh and I relax every 12 to 16 weeks.. Im trying for a 16 week stretch this time, i went for 12 weeks last time and I am 4 weeks post..

I relax every 12-18 weeks. Just came off a 26 week stretch in March.

Every inch to 1.5 inches which is approximately every 14 to 16 weeks. There's a huge difference between the managability of my hair between 14 and 16 weeks, so last time was 14 weeks. My last relaxer was the last week in May, so the next time will probably be the first week in September right before school starts.

I relax every 16 weeks so 3 times a year. I am currently 18 weeks post relaxer. I am overdue I know. I find this scedule to be more benefical for me.:ha:

About every 16 weeks.

 

[prospurr4]

Approximately every 13 weeks. I love doing only 4 touchups a year.

 

[beana]

i relax every 10-12 weeks. I rarely do it as often as 10 weeks, 12 weeks has become the norm for my hair.

In 2009 4x's for the year....every 13weeks. In 2010 and going forward, 3x's for the year. Every 17/18 weeks.

I voted every 8-10 weeks. I usually touch-up my texlax around week 9 tho. I will be stretching my touch-ups to 4 x a year in 2010.
