Relax or Flat Iron ever 2-3 weeks

[26INCHHAIR]

I am thinking about transitioning, my last relaxer was in August 2007. I was wondering If it would just be smarter (healthier for my hair) to try to grow out my relaxer and wash/deep condition my hair every 2 weeks and flat iron it then or to just get a relaxer. I am really getting sick of the relaxed hair because its weaker not because I dont like my hair being straight often. I would just hope that flat ironing every 2 weeks would not be damaging to my new growth hair. BTW Im a 3c 4a.

The longest stretch I have ever done was 8 months.....

Please Help Ladies!!!!!!

I can't wait to wash after a week, I can never really make it to two weeks without some serious scratching going on. That's why I decided to texlax. I get the best of both worlds. I texlax four times a year, I flat iron lightly and blow dry lightly after each wash. My hair still gets really pretty and straight - just like I want it.

I would not suggest waiting two weeks to wash your hair, unless your scalp doesn't mind. For me...it's like torture.
