16 years, from 1993-2009. I got my first relaxer at 13 years old. If I knew better I would've never done it.

I was 13 years old(1990) when I first got a relaxer,actually I self relaxed with PCJ. It turned out fine no breaking,no shedding.Of course I did it while my mother was at work.My momma didn't believe in putting chemicals in my hair while I was young. (She was relaxed then and still is)
my last relaxer was in late 2007

WELL first I want to say...
I was relaxed for about 15 or more yrs, I don't remember the first day I got mine. But I stopped relaxing maybe Dec 2007, but was still doing awful things to my hair. Did my BC July 2008 and cut off the relaxer and heat and color damaged hair.
I was natural for about 1 yr 5 months, then just recently relaxed (feb 17) and now I'm transitioning BACK to natural. I realized that BIG hair is ME. And it feels SO GOOD to feel my new growth while washing my hair. I am happy that I decided to relax 1 more time, because it really opened my eyes to so much about me and who I am (different story for a different day lol)

I don't have an exact number, but I picked the 5-10 years option. I got my first relaxer at age 7, but I didn't keep it up and it broke off so bad I went back natural. From 13-18, I had a standing salon appointment. I flipped and flopped between being relaxed and stretch-sitioning for about 18 months. I stopped relaxing in 2006 at 20 and did my BC 3 years ago when I was 21.

I had one when I was 18. I had stopped combing it and was stressed out, so I went to a salon, they picked out my giant 'dread' and relaxed it. My mom and I figured it would be easier to take care of for a while. I never got another one.
