I'd love to be a hardcore relaxer stretcher. Like only getting touch ups 2-3 times a year. I'm looking to relax again in December. Getting used to air drying my hair and not caring about how my new growth looks

4 weeks. I went 24 weeks before doing last touch-up. It was my second time doing 6 months. Not sure i'll go that long next time. I think may shoot for anywhere between 12-15 weeks, since that will put me at about Christmas time.

 

[Jobwright]

I'll be 6 weeks post on Friday. Hoping to make it till the week of or the week before Christmas. That would be a 17 week stretch. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

 

[pre_medicalrulz]

Me too. I notice all the long-hairs stretch super long, like, 12-16 wks. I'm trynna get to 4 or 5 TU's a year. I'm at 12 wks now with a few more to go and this has been my longest and most successful stretch. My tricks: 90% moisture at 8wks+ and prepooing with moisture. (h/t to Jen at justgrowalready, don't know her name here)

8 weeks down 8-12 to go...trying to decide if I should wait to go home to the States which would put me at 20 weeks post or relax here in Yaounde which I would do at 16 weeks post. I'll wait to see what the water supply situation is here in about 8 weeks.

 

[Rozlewis]

6 weeks post aiming for 20 weeks.

Water supply? Relaxer? Girl you better put your hair in braids and wait till you get home...

Almost 9 weeks post..relaxing the week before Thanksgiving at 15 weeks post. Still not using heat (blow dryer or flat iron) until then

 

[TamaraShaniece]

I'm 28 weeks post relaxer and struggling. But today I had great ease.

I've learned that:

1) I CANNOT be lazy with my hair.

2) I HAVE TO wash my hair in sections.

3) I NEED a shower with high pressure.

4) I CAN ONLY wash with products that have slip.


October 5 - Saturday - I sectioned my hair into 3 (1 ponytail in the back and 2 pigtails on the sides) and detangled using a wide tooth comb and Anita Grant Monoi De Tahiti Oil. Next I cleansed using NaturelleGrow Lemon Detox Cleansing Conditioner and letting my Denman brush glide out tangles and shed hair in the shower. I deep conditioned using Moitions CPR Protein Reconstructor (slip!) & Anita Grant Tahiti Oil. Ponytail roller set using NaturelleGrow Leave in and CHI straight guard.
I will flat iron my hair later.

But today.... My hair needed this pampering. For the last 3-4 weeks my hair hasn't had the proper care and gentle detangling. Some products did contain silicones, etc but I think proper care precedes unfavorable ingredients.

 

[Honi]

5 months. Don't know what I'm waiting for. My hair is growing up and out. Lol

I started OWOC and that seems to help with tangles for now. I'll touch up after November.

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

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

I am 8 weeks post and have not decided when my next touch up will be. My bday is in a couple of weeks and I originally wanted to relax for my bday, but I think I'd rather keep my stretch going. I will have to figure out what to do for my birthday hair!

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