2 week’s post. Just about.
Here’s all my new growth I’m working with.
Didn’t really care to measure. I’ll do after about a month.

I'm still hanging in here. I did get a partial relaxer around my nape and edges on 7/13 at 6 weeks post. I'm currently 9 weeks post for the rest of my hair. I'm going to try and make it to 13 weeks post before relaxing my whole head of hair. I will be doing a no-lye relaxer next time because I felt my hair was too straight. I like more texture.

20 weeks post, not relaxing until November.
Still in five plaits/braids under a wig that I keep on 24/7. I plan to keep up PSing until the week before Halloween when I plan to straighten in order to try out a thermal treatment for 30 days. I think it’s the best way to rest my hair after all of this PSing.
I plan to relax at the end of that experiment. I want to see if it will help me stretch longer and if it will protect my hair by coating it with silk protein. Fingers crossed that I don’t mess up any gains I’m getting from my PSing.
It’s been weird sleeping in a wig but it’s been a great PS session so far. Wrap it up at night, wake up, fluff and go. My hair has been in a full PS since the second week in June. I’m thinking of doing back to back lazy girl crochet sets from Sept to until I straighten in Oct.

Like a lacefront wig? I didn't know those could be slept in. This might be another PS I copy from you.. Lol.

Naw, sis, I’m not skilled enough to rock lace fronts yet. Lol. I’m rocking cheap, curly, synthetic half wigs with a headband. Once it starts to look bad, I’m throwing it out and plopping another one on. Lol. They’re all under $19and I’m getting a lot of wear out of them. I’m loving it too because lil man isn’t having access to play in and pull on my hair!
Here’s the wig I’m rocking. It hides my lumpy braids well and ensures that my hair is always “done.”

I relaxed Thursday at 16 weeks post.
A few days from being 20 weeks post, I don't know how to feel.. Boxbraids are still in. Do I really want to deal with all of this new growth?. If I take my hair down I cannot relax until next week.. Decisions.. Silk out (I haven't used heat in over a year) or wing it until next week?

I’m actually doing both to rest my hair after braids before relaxing. I’m doing my wigs first to rest my edges and any sore spots. Then I’m going to straighten to make it easier to relax my new growth and also makes it easier to detangle pre-relaxer.
I’ve also read some old threads where ladies said they get better relaxer results when they blowout or straighten a week or two prior.
Totally understand what you’re saying about the heat. I haven’t used any since my last length check in January. Whatever you decide, I hope you have made some good progress with your PSing efforts. Don’t forget to share your results with us!
