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

15 weeks post today. Thinking of stretching past 20 weeks if things keep going so well.

I'm 8 weeks post today. Not doing too bad; NG is in full force but not unmanageable, now that I have my staple products and routine down pat If I don't decide to stretch until my Birthday in early May (which would be six months), then I will relax at the end of Jan/early Feb and stretch again until May.

congrats on your long stretch, waiting patiently to see pictures Americka could you share your tips and stretching regimen please. I sure it will be helpful.

6weeks post, the last one was my virgin relaxer. I'm not sure how long to stretch......my hair is just NL, and I'm getting split ends and trimming hasn't done much, they just reappear quickly. I'm going to stop the trimming for a while, that's what made me BC the last time!

I'm not sure what it is your doing wrong but I hope that you will get over those split ends soon, from experience they are very annoying. Good luck.

How straight did you relax?
What is your regimen?
Are you using too much protein or moisture?
What products are you using?
How are you styling during the week?
What was your hair like and regimen before you relaxed?

I'm sure there is a way we can help.

16 weeks post today. Only 4 weeks left! :yay:
 
13 weeks post and relaxing next week at 14. Longest stretch to date. Have come a long way. I've been trying to add an additional week each stretch.

14 weeks with 2-6 more to go. Right now, two weeks is not looking like a possibility.
 
19 or 20 weeks post! Only a weeks left in my stretch. Although I haven't decided if I will end or extend it from my original plan. I am currently and will be wigging it for an extended period of time, so I am unsure how much it makes sense to relax new growth that will just be braided up and hidden anyway.

Any thoughts on what I should do?

Relax it so you won't have too many nasty tangles that will lead to any setbacks. Avoid setbacks like the plague!!!!
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

1 wk post 9 more to go.
 
Tomorrow I will be 20 weeks post! I took my weave out a week ago and I'll be touching up in another week or two.

*Whispers in joy* I think I may have hit BSL, I'll be able to fully tell once I get a TU.

I am 12 weeks post. I am not even entertaining the idea of relaxing since I'm trying to transition but if i gave up my transition, I would probably relax around May or June.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

My last relaxer was Halloween. I don't think I'm relaxing again. I am not sure but I think I'm serious.
 
I am 21 weeks post. Supposed to be ending my stretch at 24 weeks on Feb. 14th, but the struggle has gotten real....wash day was really difficult, and having so much new growth only made it worse. Made me want to go ahead and relax like now.
