I haven't had a relaxer in 7 weeks and my breakage I had about two weeks ago has tapered off thanks to Jerseygirls regime and the dudley rebuiler tip. I am so proud of my self, I feel like dancing /images/graemlins/bdance.gif. I am going to get a relaxer this week so I can be cute for my first day at my new school. For me the key to streching the relaxer was protein treatments to stop the breakage. I had to use more of them and I went through a tube of ors a week starting about 3 weeks ago. That had made all of the difference. I am going to try to wait 9 weeks next time.
