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

[PlainJane]

11 weeks post. I've been relaxing at 12-14 weeks these past few touch ups, but I think my hair wants me to go back to long term stretches. I know that I will be self relaxing whenever I decide to give in.

How are you doing? Did you self-relax or go to the salon? I am 13 weeks post with 3 weeks to go before I relax. My new growth is behaving but I really think it's more related to me knowing how to care for my new growth better. How does it feel to have a fresh relaxer?

I thought I could make it to April, but I can't my new growth is out of control! In April it would have been a year since I had my last relaxer, but I can't make it to April. I am getting my relaxer this FRIDAY along with a trim that I have not had since last April. kudos to team natural, I can't do it..

17 Weeks Post.
7 Weeks to go!

I wanna relax so bad but I am hanging in there. I have no breakage or excess shedding. Just tons of NG that I have no motivation to deal with. I have stopped my midweek Cowash and just wash and deep Condition on the weekends.

I will do aphogee 2step two weeks before my relaxer.

I'm having issues with the back of my head right now. There is breakage and I don't know how and why. Now that I'm writing this I think it's breakage due to overlapping. I'm gonna be extra careful with my next textlax, whenever I decide to do it and check back in another 3 months.

Relaxing right now at 11 weeks or so. My hair was super underprocessed and the shrinkage was ridiculous.

Make sure to relax the back last then.

My crown is my trouble area, so I don't smooth that area. Smoothing it what kills it.

Most probably relaxing today at 12 weeks post. Just waiting for my sister to finish watching a movie on tv so she can relax my hair.

ETA: I relaxed it, sitting under my Pibbs now. My greys are all out but I don't want to take the risk and color my hair the same day. I will probably cut about 1 inch to get rid of very straight ends (rest of my hair is texlaxed)

 

[PlainJane]

13 weeks post. Hopefully I can make it to 24 weeks.

Thank you for saying this. I wish someone had said this to me before. I'm texlax and I use Phytorelaxer Index I to do it. From now on, I will apply the relaxer but no smoothing. I'll then wash it out after waiting 15/20 minutes.
