I really want to stretch 12 weeks but I'm on my 8th week and it's gettin hard to get a comb through. I usually get a relaxer every 8 weeks so I could definitely justify a relaxer right now but I have more nw in areas than others. I guess I want a nice amount of ng all over. What do you think? What do you do?
 
Hey Mocha5, I am also trying to stretch to 12 wks. I am now on week 8 with 2 inches of newgrowth(an inch and a half in other areas) It is getting really really difficult to comb my hair...so I'm thinking that I will just go ahead and relax tomorrow. I would say an atleast an inch all over is a good amount of newgrowth. My newgrowth is so thick though that I would be doing more damage by not relaxing. I keep hearing snap,crackle,pop when I try to comb my hair(no breakage though) and trying not to comb it is really impossible. If you can handle your newgrowth I would say hold out on a relaxer, but if you can't then I would just go ahead and relax to avoid unnecessary breakage at the demarcation line;)

LOL, Niikkipoo, I'm hearing that same snap, crackle thing. And I'm like "oooh!" LOL. It actually kinda hurts too. Unfortunately, I just realized that Week 8 for me is actually the 14th so I still have a week. So are you texlaxing?
