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

@sunnieb haha...actually when I first started my journey I was hoping to relax every 16 weeks but before long I abandoned that idea...If I can make it to 18 this time I'd be happy but the true goal is every 16 so if I get desperate which I don't think I will with you and baddison being such great cheerleaders I'll relax at 16. I will REALLY try for 18 I have the two of you to thank big time as even here at 9 I'm smooth sailing
The last time I was able to be smooth sailing at 9 weeks is when I would flat iron after a wash I'm amazed that I'm here stretching without heat:woohoo:

I'm at ten weeks and usually shoot for 12 weeks but I will be relaxing at 11 this time so my hair will be looking fresh to death for my wedding. I think next round I will shoot for 16 weeks since it has been getting easier to stretch as my hair is growing out. That Scurl on new growth works some miracles!

I was 11 weeks post and just got my touch up at noon (normally try to go at least 12; usually about 15 weeks).

I got bangs cut and I don't like them I've brushed them back already I looked really good with bangs last time, but something...has changed

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

I checked this thread to see if I'd posted when I last relaxed as I so often do so that I can look back to see how many weeks I am. But I didn't and I have no clue how many weeks post I am! I'm gonna guesstimate somewhere between 12 and 14. :crazy:

Don't give up! Do you relax bone straight or texlax. When I used to be bone straight, my hair used to be flat, but after a couple of washes it returned back to normal. When I flat iron, I DC for about an hour, rinse, shampoo, apply a mild protein & then co-rinse. I then M&S and air dry in four braids. Once the hair is completely dry, I apply Chi guard or Matrix heat protectant and then flat iron. Once I'm done flat ironing I apply Chi Silk fusion or Avocado oil.

I hope this helps. Hopefully some of the other ladies have some more tips

I assure you it's only out of pure laziness that I'm this far. Lol. I'm struggling right now.

In the beginning of my journey there was no point of even trying to flat iron my new growth...it made it worst actually. But as the health of my hair improved and I invested in a CHI flatiron, I got silky results.

thanks for the reply okay that makes sense because when I flat iron it just looks limp I'll just wait till the health of my hair improves and invest in the chi flatiron thanks
