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

I'm 9 weeks post and wanted to go 16 weeks but I may end my stretch on Wednesday and go to the salon and get my hair touched up because my social calendar will pick up Mid Oct to early Nov.

I plan to go 16 weeks after that.

I went looking for a blowdryer or flat iron today because I was toying with the idea of flat ironing my hair for these events. But I just don't no if I should use heat or just touch up? Ahhh.... I think I will just touch up. 9 weeks is long enough to not cause overlap.

I'm still undecided.
 
2 days post. I got it done on Friday after being 9 weeks post.

I'm slowly, but surly learning how to stretch my relaxer week by week.

Thanks to sunnieb for those thorough posts on stretching relaxers.

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

I'm 10 weeks post, I got my appointment for Saturday Oct 13. Then on Saturday I get a voicemail from the salon asking if I would mind if another stylist did my hair. I called them back and said that I would mind indeed. That I had a hair consultation with my stylist and chose her based on that, she already knows how picky and pain in the a@$$ I can be, I know how gentle and careful she is and she knows my products. I'm soo upset about this. They only open til 6 weekdays except for Fridays when they close at 8, and they are closed on Sunday AND Monday, who does that?!
I had set it up for this Saturday as I don't drive, the salon is far from my home and DH is home this week and can drive me. If they can't schedule me for Saturday afternoon then I will need to wait 2 more weeks or do it myself.

About 8 weeks and getting a touch-up Saturday. I try to go 12+ weeks but I can't wait much longer. I'll try to stretch longer with the next one because I want to get a sew-in.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

21 and a half weeks!!!!
Yaaaaaayyyyy!:grin:
I can't believe I made it this far.

Now everyone asks me if I'm going natural lol

7 weeks post, just scheduled a retouch for 10 weeks. I go between 10-12 weeks each relaxer depending on how my hair looks. I got a flat iron done for the first time since my relaxer, and it feels great. I will be going back to my protective styling in a week or so to finish out this stretch. I get my relaxer done at the salon. I'm growing my hair back out from a pixie cut, so I haven't had this much hair in a while! I'm thinking of getting a sew in, in December or January, so that should help me stretch a bit longer, maybe 15 weeks with my hair put up!

one week post going for 12 weeks although I may tu earlier just dependes on how my hair is looking.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I'm 14 weeks post, will get touch up next week.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I am 4 days post after a 12 week stretch. I am thinking I will stretch longer next time and just touch up myself. I'm tired of the slicked head look I head after a fresh bone straight relaxer. Also I want to thicken up my hair. My hair always looks the best at 4 weeks + post relaxer. So I will stretch until I can't take it anymore but aiming for at least 13 weeks.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I am 6 weeks post. I usually stretch for 10, but my new growth is out of control. It looks and feels like I have been stretching for at least 12 weeks. I am tempted to relax next week.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I'm 8 weeks post on the way to an 18week stretch. Next relaxer is December 22nd. :yay:
 
16-17 weeks post for 90% of my hair. 4 weeks post for my u-part. Took down
My install,.. Here's my NG.

I'll bun for a few weeks more I guess before I relax, but I'm so scared of overlapping.... I have a plan, but working with the back will be harder since I can't see it. Either way I think I'll hold off on relaxing my u- part and the front of my head ( first 20% of my head), until it thickens up and I have more NG to work with.

Wow! How was your wash days? Did you lose a lot of hair? How did you detangle after washing?
 
I am 15 weeks post this coming weekend. I want to retouch then. I use organics olive oil relaxer by africa's best. Salon definately. My self-relaxers turn into "texlaxers" and it's messy and takes a lot of time and energy...

I'm about 5wks post I think and I would love to make it to mid October. I may be able to pull it off if I get some senegalese done during that time.

I'm about 18wks post this week and the only way I've made it is by doing what I said I would--get senegalese twists. I've had them about 3wks and they are real loose. I wanted them to last until mid November but that's not likely to happen. BUT--I think I'm actually transitioning! I really love the feel of my new growth, not that it's soft or anything cuz it's not :lol: but it just feels much better than my relaxed hair. I will decide for sure if I'm really transitioning or not by Christmas, which means I will be getting Senegalese twists again in November. Wish me luck:spinning:
 
I'm 8 weeks post. Want to stretch for four more. I took a pic of u hair after combing to ask you guys if it was a normal amount of hair to loose or if i should end my stretch. my friend was looking through my phone pics and asked why I took a pic of my hair. I tried to explain but couldn't stop laughing bc I didn't really know how to phrase it. I'll be back later with the pic.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

3 months Post relaxer
Next Relaxer: Oct. 17th
Relaxer: Maybe Silk Elements w/Shea Butter, but it did not take the last time. I have very coarse hair and a verrry sensitive scalp. But I want a lye relaxer. I used most of them. I may try Affirm next.

I stretch w/ sewn in weaves. Done by me!
 
8 weeks post today!

Feeling like I can safely hold out until December 22nd.
