11 weeks and 1 day...original goal was 12 weeks. Hoping now I can hold out until the end of the month, but either way making it to 12 is good.

Officially 11 weeks. I'm gonna get a relaxer 'just cause' even though I surely don't need one.

I'm 10 weeks and 2 days post. Trying to make it to the end of the month for a total of 13 weeks, but I am struggling. I am debating whether to try self-relaxing again or going to my stylist to have her correct the under processing disaster that was my last self-relaxer attempt in December. On the one hand, she gives me the results I want from a relaxer -- straight, flowy, silky fabulousness, but she is not patient with my hair (especially after long stretches), and I end up losing more hair to her than necessary due to her slightly rough detangling methods and her tendency to be a little scissor happy when it comes to my ends.
On the other hand, I am extremely rusty with the relaxer, especially the lye formulation I am using, so the last time I tried I came out severely underprocessed with a burn on the back of my head, and that's even with basing my scalp and pre-parting my sections before I applied the relaxer. I guess ultimately it will depend on my money situation after I file my taxes.

2 days post after a 12 week stretch. I did my first relaxer and I think it may be under processed, still hoping to make the next one 10-12 weeks. Next time I'm join to try the half and half method.

I just did a relaxer the half and half method and I still end up with the other half wet! SmH, then I have to get under the dryer let the other side dry and then relax the other, I think I am going to just start in the back which is the more coarser part and end up with the front, I just got to detangle good and move fast

In my 11th week.
I am very fortunate that I work in a country where I can 'wrap' my hair to work. So, I am wearing big plaits under a silk hair tie and a nicer black hair wrap that isn't wrapped too tight.
I plan to relax after Good Friday.
Best,

I'm around 16 weeks post now. A couple years ago, I'd be itching to relax by now, but I've gotten much better at stretching. I feel like I could go a full year, but still plan on relaxing at week 27 or 28 (late May).
