Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up???

7 weeks post. I skipped my weekly dc yesterday, so I'll make up for it tonight.

Not being hair lazy is the only way I can successfully stretch my relaxers.
I just learned I gotta pre detangle and oil prepoo! And I need a rinse out conditioner for added slip, or a new shower filter. I will probably get both to be on the safe side.
 
Ive been having a breakage issue with my last couple relaxers. First It was linange now its ors . i guess my hair is too weak or my porosity is too high to handle a relaxer anymore at this point.
Have you tried Porosity Control? It may get that under control. I used it when my mother overprocessed and was combing the relaxer through about 5 years ago. It helped my hair get back on track. You can get it from Sally's. My SO bought me the shampoo, conditioner, and the treatment. I also used Queen Helene garlic shampoo for awhile too.

Thanks for the suggestion luv.I have french stabilizer but i will find porosity control & try it. Ive been wanting to try the garlic poo too for those days where i have shedding. Im going natural to see if i can get some strength & length. My new growth was coming in soo thick and nice before i went & relaxed it smh

Are you gonna do mini chops, or a big one?

Ditto on the 7 weeks.

I am on vacation for 2 weeks and had big plans to make sure I did a mid-week wash and it has not happened. I have been consistently washing and DC'ing once a week but I planned to increase that. Oh well.
 
I'm pretty sure I need a protein treatment. Welp, gotta wait until Friday then.
Welp, I didn't wait until Friday :lachen:

I think my hair looks really awesome. Probably the best I have ever done it. Thanks to LHCF, it's soft and I'm even trimming (it's on pause until I get some new flat.irons) and y'all know how I feel about using scissors lmao.

I do plan on doing a hard protein treatment in a few days time though. I'm not taking any chances :look:
 
13 weeks post today and 2 more minimum to go. I do feel like I could use a touch up now though but I made up my mind to wait. I'll just keep the protein treatments going until then. Besides I'm hendigoing my hair this weekend so that should also help with keeping my strands strong until then.
 
9 weeks post today. Still doing ok and not sure how long I'm going to stretch. Pretty much when I can't take it anymore, so we'll see!

@Rozlewis how's your hair holding up? :)

Hi @sunnieb

Glad to hear you are doing ok. I am doing pretty good too. I think these roller sets have been helping me maintain. In addition, I start my mid-week cowash and I will be living in the southern tease bun. I think I will still to a 16 week stretch to minimize issues.
 
I'm over I week post, but I'm going for 12 weeks. My relaxer touchup date is 4/2/2017. I hope I can make it since I'm my roots are texlaxed now. I won't take any chances though, so if I start struggling, I don't have nothing to prove to push through.
Me too :lachen:If it gets too rough, I have enough relaxer (I scoop it out into a chemical bowl to mix) to hit that newgrowth. I will not be stretching to eternity. My patience isn't set up like that anymore.
