How soon could I relax if....

[gymfreak336]

I wash tonight. Right now I am nearly 6 weeks post with alot of underprocessed hair and a good amount of newgrowth. I am able to get my hair soft using porosity control but I have a ton of shedding. I am wondering if I should just go ahead and relax. I was supposed to do a corrective a while ago but I was trying to hold out. I want to co-wash tonight because I have a couple of semi-matted spots and I can only get them fully moisturized by washing. If I do it tonight when is the soonest I can relax or should I just try to push it another 2-3 weeks to be "correct"

I would say no sooner than 3-5 days.

I would say a couple of days, but another member of the forum washed her hair the same day she was to get a relaxer and had no problems.
