[sunnieb]

Not enough newgrowth to think about relaxing anytime soon.

 

[KERC1974]

10 weeks post relaxer. I may relax at 12 weeks.

 

[Nayeli]

[Beamodel]

38 weeks post relaxer

 

[Rozlewis]

11 weeks and about 8 more to go.

 

[lavaflow99]

33 weeks and probably getting a weave in the next week or two to give myself a break and think about what I want to do next with my hair.

 

[sunnieb]

8 weeks post and still easy peasy.

 

[Fotchygirl]

12 weeks post today, time flies when you put your hair under a weave. Don't know when I'll relax, I'll decide in 2 weeks time when I take down the weave.

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

10 days.....

 

[mochalocks]

Only a few hours post. I relaxed my hair after one month.
- I'm so ready for this pixie cut to grow out now too.

 

[sunnieb]

9 weeks post and feeling it a little.

It's my own fault. I didn't do a mid-week cowash so it felt like I was combing through carpet this morning.

I'll do my regular clarify/moisture shampoo/moisture dc tonight and all should be well again.

 

[Nayeli]

7 weeks past Friday. DC'ed yesterday. Seriously, seriously contemplating color after my next relaxer. When I start getting bored like this anything can happen (from pixie cut to going natural).

I'll be 9 weeks post tomorrow too. My last self relax I underprocessed but I'm dealing with it little by little and have to keep reminding myself the the NG and underprocessed portion needs extra moisture. I would love to go a little longer so I'm considering a weave for 11 weeks. Refreshing it 2x within that period.

@tomnikids3

We have a winner! Got it yesterday and relaxed. Hands down, the best relaxer I've ever done at home. I even let it air dry and it still looks like I went to a salon. I'm so glad I read your post.

Thanks!

Lineage has been sitting in my cart for a couple weeks as well. I really want to try it for my next relaxer hoping that it will give me great results. If not I'll go back to using my oldie but goodie Motions.

 

[Rozlewis]

12 weeks post and 6 more weeks to go.

 

[Rozlewis]

14 weeks post. I had planned to go to 18 but this new growth is too much. It looks like about 2 inches and I have 4z hair so I am struggling. I will be relaxing next weekend at 15 weeks.

 

[Beamodel]

41 weeks post relaxer

 

[geekyjade]

last relaxer 9/13 (actually it was a corrective relaxer)
will stretch 12-16 weeks

 

[sunnieb]

11 weeks post.

I'm thinking of relaxing Thanksgiving week if all goes well.

 

[Fotchygirl]

Will be 15 weeks post this coming Tuesday. I washed and dc'd today after taking down the weave and didn't encounter any problems so I think I'll put in another weave for 8 more weeks and relax in December.

 

[Babygrowth]

21 weeks post. 3 more days til I relax. Pre-parted and twisted today. Can't wait.

 

[Nayeli]

Made my appointment for October 24, at 12 wks. I'm over this stretch already. Wish I could relax tomorrow but my stylist stays booked.

 

[Lilmama1011]

7 weeks and 3 days. Relaxing at 10 to 12 weeks. I always say I will shorten it to 10 weeka and end up doing my normal 12

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I don't remember when my last relaxer was, but it was some time between last September and January. I get a little fuzzy on how I cared for my hair after January but I started my Braidlocs in June and I'll be relaxing almost as soon as I can take these Bradelocs down. I'm just about 90% done, and I have a significant amount of new-growth lol. Possibly 3-4 inches of new-growth.

 

[Nayeli]

Bumped up my relaxer appt. to Monday. Can't wait.

 

[PureSilver]

I'm 11 weeks, will be 12 on Monday, not sure when i'll relax.

 

[sunnieb]

12 weeks post

 

[sunnieb]

14 weeks post. Still thinking of relaxing Thanksgiving week if my hair let's me.

 

[tequilad28]

19 weeks post. About to get that creamy crack all up in NG tmrw!

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

1 week and 1 day. I'm still debating on if I should fix the front part of my hair since it's a drastically different texture then the rest of my hair.
