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

My last relaxer was April 28, 2014. I am almost 16 weeks post. My hurr looks like a hat. I cannot put it in a pony tail. I cannot leave it out. My roots are causing a revolution. I like how cottony it feels. :)

9 weeks post!

Relaxing whenever I've had enough. Maybe another 7-8 weeks.

39 weeks!

The two textures are not getting along and I'm so tired of bunning. Will be throwing braids in to get me through the end of the year then I'll make a decision. My stretch was never meant to last this long but a part of me want to see what my hair will look like (but I remember what it was like as a kid and shrinkage is a beyotch!). I revert blow outs in minutes and my reality is fussing trying to keep my hair straight makes no sense since I was healthy and relaxed for years.

decisions, decisions.
 
After going a whole year without relaxing, I finally got a relaxer a week ago. I wish I knew how many inches of new growth was sitting on my head!

Hey PureSilver

I don't have any pictures of this last relaxer. My photographer (10 yr old) was not home to take my pics. However, I did self-relax for the 1st time and I think I did a pretty good job. I am basically transitioning to texlaxed so my relaxer results were different meaning I had more texture than I usually have so my length did not show much.

The previous relaxer I got at the salon and she left the relaxer in for approximately 40 minutes and I thought I would die. She was waiting for me to begin to burn so I faked it and told her it was burning. I was so nervous. She also had a hard time getting through the new growth and was rough. My results were always good but I was more afraid of the long-term damage. This time I decided to take matters into my own hands and I am glad I did. I do not plan to use direct heat anytime soon but when I do I will post some pictures and do a length check.

Sorry I don't have any new pictures.

Be 20 weeks post in a few days :)
 
I believe I'm 11 weeks post. Waiting until 20 but it could happen whenever I get tired of losing the comb in my hair I'll just relax.

18...hopefully I can make it 2 more weeks. I want fresh hair for a wedding I am going to.

I am 8 weeks post and I think I will cave and relax tomorrow. I can't take this NG anymore. I washed my hair yesterday and it tangled something serious and I'm going to my in-laws this weekend so I have to look nice.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I am about 13 weeks post. I think this is the longest that I've gone in ages. :look: I have an appointment with my hairstylist on Saturday for my touch up.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

4 weeks post today and already my crown is thick with NG. The comb ain't going nowhere. Seems like I have to start blow drying every wash day from here onward.

I'm about to be twelve weeks Thursday. But depending on what day SO is off, I will relax . I'm super happy to relax so I can see my ends better and dust or trim accordingly

I guess... I didn't do it on purpose. I had just moved and didn't trust anyone to do my hair including me. Then I decided to flat iron and my over processed hair at the time popped off . I had just joined the forum. I could do it now I think without a problem. I would just cowash mostly and twist out PureSilver
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

Lilmama1011 cosigning with the later. I would have to blow dry on warm just to get my roots tamed once I hit the 3 month mark though as opposed to drying on cool. My hair doesn't like twist outs; I think the trick to it for me is to hit the shower once i'm done with the style which really never lasts more than 1 day lol.

Now that it has come up and my next relaxer is scheduled for December, i'll try to do a 6 month stretch and I need me so WGHO in my life for that too.

Last relaxer: 03/27/2014
Next Relaxer: Possibly 09/06/2014

I am so overdue due to relocating. My hair is still manageable thanks to the Silicon Mix Bamboo that I have been using. I recently found a beauty supply store that carries my favorite relaxer, Linange Shea Butter Relaxer, yay! :yay: . Now if I could only stop getting my hair wet and wear it straight for 5 days straight, I can finally relax this moss!
