Hi Fotchygirl,
Wash every 2 weeks
Use sulfate shampoo every wash
Clarify / chelate once monthly
Use protein as-needed, about 1-2x a month
Moisturize / Seal daily
Detangle weekly regardless if it's a wash week
Relying on wigs, buns & braids as daily styles
A lot of what I'm doing is detailed on my blog. If you don't mind, check there for additional detail on how I detangle, wash, etc.

I was 8 weeks post yesterday. I wanted to strech for at least 10 weeks, but my new growth wasn't having it. I self relaxed today. I'm pretty pleased with the results and plan to go at least 9 to 10 weeks this time. My next planned relaxer day is May 23rd.

5 weeks post today. I'm flat ironing my hair weekly to maintain my new growth. I got my hair in a little ponytail today. This is to keep my hands out of my hair for the rest of the day. Think I will just continue to do this. Flat iron it and bun/ponytail. I will wig it still when I gotta get jazzy. I'm not trying to fight this new growth.

12 weeks today and succumbing to a relaxer. I can't take the tangles and knots from the postpartum shedding. I'll see what I'm left with afterwards.

Did relax and unfortunately have to cut off about 2 or more inches of ends. They are see- through and raggedy. Fresh start at SL again.

don't feel too bad, I had to go from BSL to neck length. It will grow back better and stronger!

Eight weeks post. New growth around my hair line has gone bezerk in the space of a week so I need to find a way to keep it under control for the next few weeks (at least).

Better to start with fresh healthy ends than hang on to raggedy ones. You'll get your length back. But this time it will be healthier.

Yes, it's still shedding. I feel like I have half the density I had a year ago. The length is there but my density has depleted dramatically.
Hopefully the doctor can tell me what is wrong. Thanks for your prayers. I will keep you posted on what they discover, if any...

Ok, please do Beamodel. Get a 2nd opinion if they don't have answers. Stress & Anemia are two things that come to mind. Pursue all options. Don't let them dismiss you. Try a dermatologist or even Komaza if need be.
ETA: I had some thinning at temples and IMHO dr & dermatologist blew me off because all blood work checked out. They quickly blamed the relaxer. Komaza doesn't automatically assume it's the relaxer....so, you might have to go that route.

I'm 3 weeks post relaxer and my edges already ain't laid. I already have a wave when applying gel. I know it would be a little something but not an actual defined wave!
