pinkness27 Cowashing a few times a week really helps keep my new growth in check. I am 4 weeks post and won't be relaxing until mid October. I also got some Cantu leave in today and it really seemed to help. Oh, I learned the hard way about not combing the new growth - i ended up with matting in multiple places. I guess I should have at least been finger detangling.

QueenAmaka what do you cw with? Because I tried co-washing when I first joined, but it made my hair very dry and crunchy. I can't rememb off the top of my hand what conditioner I was using, but I'd love a suggestion.

How many weeks post relaxer are you right now? a measly 4 weeks
When is your next touch up? not sure. Trying to stretch until the end of the year but might cave October 24thish (16wks)
What relaxer will you use? Thinking about trying either Profectiv touch up, soft and beautiful botanicals, or silk elements shea butter. Last time I used Soft and Beautiful regular relaxer kit
Are you going to a salon or will you self-relax? I am a self relaxer

I'm 12 weeks post tomorrow. I can't believe how easy this stretch has been, wow.
I think I can go at least another 3 weeks. So, in another 3 to 4 weeks I'm going to a salon for a touchup with Mizani.

I am 3 weeks post and I'm stretching until the week of Thanksgiving (18 weeks). The longest I have ever stretched is 15 weeks and that took some serious effort. I'm gonna need some serious prayer and patience for this stretch

16wks and 4 days. I would have relaxed last Friday, but I'm on this long stretch to see if I want to transition. Which is not looking to high on the list right now lol. Watching those natural videos can have your mind playing games on ya, LOL.

9 weeks and 4 days. I'll prob relax exactly two weeks from today for no other reason than I'm going back to school and that's the last time I'll see my mom for 2-4 months (depending on whether or not I come home during the semester) and there is no one else I trust to be gentle with my new growth. Otherwise I might have to wait till December to relax and a 16 week stretch was more than enough for me, and as of now I have no desire to stretch for longer than that.

'm sixteen weeks post. I have a lot more growth now than I did last year, I think the Florida heat caused my hair to grow. But, I plan on relaxing in 7 more weeks.
