I am only 3 weeks post relaxer, but I plan on relaxing the week before Christmas and that will be a 11 week relaxer stretch for me. Next year my plan is to only relax 3 times a year:superbanana:

They last all week. On flat ironed hair..they don't last long but since I did it on air dried hair it held the curl all week.

8 weeks this coming Tuesday and I'm starting to get really bad tangles all of a sudden. I'm trying hard to make it to Dec 3rd which will be 12 weeks. Funny, because I've stretched for 7 months in the past and didn't have this much of an issue with tangling. I will probably give self-relaxing another try, but I'm looking for an alternative to ORS no lye which hasn't really worked for me in the past (probably due to my lack of relaxing skills).

I am 3 days post relaxer. Probably not relaxing until 10-12 weeks from now.

I'm 9 weeks post and trying to decide between getting a Brazilian keratin treatment, a relaxer at a salon, and doing one of the two on my own. I like the stylist I usually get relaxers from, but part of me just prefers doing it myself. As far as BKT vs. relaxer, I'm still torn because I can relax my hair just fine, but I've never given myself a BKT before and I don't know what brand to try.

sounbeweavable, my friend tried transitioning to salon performed BKT in an effort to go natural. She got a lot of breakage and returning to relaxing.

Wow! I wonder what brand they used. If you follow the directions, which I'm sure the stylist did which is understandable, you will end up bald.

Wow y'all just scared me into sticking to relaxers. My hair is too short to be having any breakage.

I had a new stylist relax my hair the last two go arounds, but I'm thinking of doing it myself again.

That just scared me. Definitely planned on getting on getting a BKT in about 6 months
I wanted to do this LONG time ago and I had a beautician tell me of I relax continue relaxing. If it's relaxed and healthy, don't bother with a bkt. I found it odd, but no one turns away $300 services for someone to continue a $30-45 service. I stopped bothering with the bkt option after that.
I'm gonna go a test run in about May. I should have 7 inches of natural hair by then. If I like it I will probably give up the relaxer. ETA: The BKT she uses may not have been compatible with a relaxer. Some of them aren't. Id me glad she warned you.

Hi sunnieb, I remember you as well. I've been lurking here and there UNTIL I went to the Dominican's and got a blow out on MBL hair and they broke the back of my hair off so I had to start over from scratch but I'm actually enjoying every minute. Your hair is looking pretty girly. ^5
