Relax or not to Relax is the question?

Well okay my dh comes home 12/21 and I was waiting to get a relaxer then. Well 12/5 is my b-day and I am rocking about 1 1.5 inches of new growth. A friend looked at me 2day and was like I can stand ur head. Well I am thinkg about getting a relaxer to night. I am thinking of taking my time and just using the dr. mircles or silk elements.

Wat do yall think will be good? Do you think between now and 12/21 I will get another inche of growth or it really will not matter?

I'd say wait, stretch as long as you can!

If you have 1.5 inches of NG that indicates to me that you've been stretching for a good amount of time. I'd say keep going, but maybe my opinion is a little biased.

...unless you notice any excessive breaking, shedding, etc., anything that will more than likely be defeating the purpose of your stretch. That's when you should relax. But if everything is all good and you don't mind going farther, why not?

If you can stretch long go for it. Don't worry about what others say. You on a person mission for yourself. You can also flatiron your hair and that can squeeze another week or two with your stretch.

I guess transitioning changed my perspective. I think 1 1/2" NG is not a lot. I think you should try to stretch a bit more to keep your hair healthy. If you do relax...please show us the pics! HHG!

I agree with this. Since its ur bday you should flat iron the ng, and relax closer to when ur dh comes home.
