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

[PlanetCybertron]

A week post relaxer. Have my hair up in box braids with hair added, so I’ve mostly been ignoring my hair since it’s completely tucked away.

 

[sunnieb]

7 weeks post and I'm relaxing this weekend.

@11228 that might be what's going on with me. I increased cowashes to deal with dense newgrowth.

My hair is telling me to relax.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I’m starting to feel a little bit of new growth, but not enough to relax. Maybe about 4 or 5 weeks post?

Relaxing Friday

 

[sunnieb]

Relaxed an hour ago at 8 weeks.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I think I might relax next month. I checked my blog, and I relaxed back in the beginning of June. I’m a little bit further than I initially thought. I definitely feel the new growth now lol

I don’t feel like you’re old enough to have a kid in college lol Well if your kid doesn’t stay with you while in college you can walk around in your birthday suit

Last time I used ORS no lye because I was out of town.

Where do y'all buy your relaxer?

 

[MzSwift]

Where do y'all buy your relaxer?

I've tried both Walmart and Amazon in the past but I worried about the integrity of the perm. So I feel better buying from BSS online so either Goldenmart Beauty, Maxx Beauty (because it's in Detroit) or Sally's.

 

[sunnieb]

@MzSwift yep, I'm hesitant to buy from Amazon. You never know where the product is coming from.

I can't find the email from my last order and can't remember the retailer name.

I buy mine at the beauty supply store up the street from my place because everybody doesn’t sell it.

 

[crazytrish75]

26 weeks post and looking like
My norm is 18-20 weeks but I've been so incredibly busy this summer! The time passed before I knew it. Not going to relax for a few more weeks because my crown is so dry and has a little bit of breakage that I need to give a little tlc first. So I will probably be around 32-35 weeks before I get to it. I've been putting my hair in twists at night and doing a twist out updo. Surprisingly, I'm getting a lot of compliments on my hair even tho it's puffy to the extreme

 

[sunnieb]

1 week post and relaxing in 7 weeks.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I’m actually due, but I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had the time to really focus. I’m probably gonna throw some braids in until I can really get to it (trim and everything)

 

[PlanetCybertron]

Currently 5 weeks post. However I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff to my scalp to keep it happy, and washing almost every day, along with inverting and using peppermint oil on my head so I already have roughly 1.2 inches worth of new growth. The growth is coming in a lot softer than it has in the past, so thankfully I’m not experiencing a lot of clumping and tangling.

 

[Sosoothing]

8 weeks post. Will relax in the next 2 weeks probably.

Oooh, why at 10 weeks this time?

 

[Sosoothing]

Oooh, why at 10 weeks this time?

I actually want to go as long as I can because I don't want to deal with relaxing my hair. It feels so cumbersome to relax these days. I was thinking of doing big braids with extensions for about 4 weeks.

But I'm thinking 10 weeks because that may be as long as I can go before another wash. After the tangles I dealt with during my last wash session, I will have to relax the next time I touch my scalp if I want to keep both my hair and sanity

Totally understand. LOL.
That's why I stay under crochet style. I don't have the energy to deal with my hair being out either.
I hope your relaxer goes well!

 

[SpiceUpMyHair]

3 days post. I relaxed at 9 weeks. I usually go 12 weeks but the last 2 relaxers were less than 12 weeks. I relax when my shedding increases which is sometime after 9 weeks. I used mizani bb in normal this time around. My hair came out wavy, I like it.
