I'm only 2 weeks four days since my last relaxer. I have no idea when I'm getting another touch up. It will probably be in another 8 weeks or so

Currently 9 weeks 4 days. I am aiming for 16 weeks
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

5 weeks and some days. i am getting a touchup on the 12th next month.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I went 10 weeks this time. My stylist will not give relaxer before 10 weeks.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I try to relax my hair no more then 4 times a year. Trying to do it only 3 times a year. It's been since Dec for me so I am due! I'm about 12 weeks from last relaxer.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I'm 26 weeks post and haven't done a TU since I joined the forum last Oct. I'm past due and am only surviving because my hair is thin/low density and I work from home. To be honest with everything I've learned since I've been here I'm kind of afraid to do it myself and even more afraid to go a stylist because I don't have anyone I trust. What to do, what to do...
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

19 weeks as of yesterday. I'll probably relax at the end of July.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

10 weeks 4 days post. I plan to relax at 11 weeks. Using ORS lye relaxer/self relaxed
 
7 weeks post
Probably will relax for memorial weekend
So about may 25th at 12 weeks post
Will use alter ego linange relaxer
Or I am thinking about trying mizani butter blends
Also on the fence about which is better lye or no lye :(
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

My perm was 3/19. I'm about a month in.....I'm not sure when my next perm is going to be.....probably August. .

I was natural for 3 years and already practicing healthy relaxed hair care before switching to natural.

So the two texture shouldn't be much of a problem for me.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I'm 11 weeks post and planning on relaxing at week 12. Growing out this assymetric cut has been murder. Even though I am making progress it looks like i'm not b/c the main goal right now is to try to even out the two sides of my hair. Regardless I am happy that I am able to go 12 weeks with it at this length. It hasn't become super unmanageable yet so next time I will try for 16 weeks.

I'm longing for my signature shoulder length with chinese bangs:(. My sister told me not to cut my hair...
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

12 weeks post, and relaxing next weekend rather than stretching to 15 weeks.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

6 weeks post. I want to go for another 3-4 weeks against my stylist's wishes. She wants me to T/U next week as according to her 'I have a lot of new growth.' I firmly told her that I will not be touching up next week. The convo went like this:

Her: You are touching up next week right?
Me: Nope
Her: But you have a lot of new growth
Me: I know but its only been 6 weeks and I know my hair and know that I don't need a T/U now
Her: So you are in control now? (with a tone that sounded as if I offended her)
Me: I am not saying that, just saying that I won't be relaxing next week
Her: So when?
Me: I will let you know

Gotta be firm!!!! It's my hair, and I know how to deal with it!

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

I'm 9 weeks post today. I could touch up on the 14th of May but I'm having such an easy time of it that I may just go longer than 12 weeks. We shall see though :grin:

Anyway, I just ordered my new relaxer yesterday and who knows when it will get here. Anybody out there using Affirm Fiberguard Sensitive Scalp. I did a little research and I know a lot of people don't like it because it doesn't it get you bone straight, but I'm going for texlaxed anyway.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

1 week post...lol! I stretched to 13 weeks.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

sunnieb, I had almost decided to self relax at the end of the month using the ORS no lye that I already purchased BUT, I just noticed short hairs on the top of my head (where I'm already experiencing thinning) and I don't know whether it's new growth or breakage. Now I don't know whether it would be better to wait a little while longer or relax sooner.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

How many weeks post relaxer are you right now? 8 weeks, 3 days
