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.

I am almost nine weeks post and plan to relax May 17th at 12 wks post. I use affirm sensitive scalp...don't think it is fiberguard and it gets me straight enough.
 
6 weeks post.. Summer is around the corner and I am an avid swimmer soooo no idea when the next TU is going to be.

How often do you relaxed ladies relax during summer? Any swimmers like me?
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

cynd - you're already 26 weeks post, so those short hairs could be newgrowth. That's what happened to me at the beginning of my hair journey. My edges began growing back in and I mistakenly thought I had breakage.

However, it could be breakage as well. Only you would know. I would say to go to a trusted stylist and have her do your relaxer this time - especially since you have so much newgrowth. Ask her - no, TELL her to relax your edges last so they won't have alot of time with the relaxer.

Then start researching self-relaxing and see if you want to do it next time. I have a self-relaxing album in my fotki if you want to see how I do it.

Thanks for the advice sunnieb. I'll try to find someone I can trust to do it this time although I usually come away feeling bald after a stylist relaxes me because my hair is so fine/thin. Your hair is lovely btw.
