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

11 weeks now and struggling. Not sure why I have so much more newgrowth than normal. A winter growth spurt maybe?

I don't know. Whatever it is, I refuse to wrestle with my hair. If I keep going at this pace, I'll relax at 14 weeks and move on with my life. :yep:

12 weeks post and my hair and I are on speaking terms again.

Doing much better and at this rate, I'll be able to make it to 18 weeks. We'll see.

Will be 14 weeks this week and im now more confident than ever that i can pull off my longest stretch ever since i dumped a few products. my ng actually blends in with my relaxed hair now can barely tell the difference at times.

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

I made a mistake on my last post. As of today, I'm 6 weeks 2 days.

Target date for next touch up: Feb. 28th.

If I self relax, I'll use MBB regular. I'm trying to find a knowledgable and gifted stylist to relax and trim me. Haven't found one in years.

14 weeks post. I plan to relax in 4 more weeks.
 
About 16 wks post but looking like 30 or more due to this new growth and under processed hair. Idk when or if I will relax. I'm taking it day by day.

Sent from my iPhone using LHCF please excuse typos
 
27 weeks today and relaxing on Friday!! I haven't been this excited for relaxer day in so long! Initially stretching past my usual 16 weeks wasn't so bad but these past two weeks have been painful. Hair isn't cooperating, my buns look weak and overall have a hard time styling.:Nono:

9 weeks. Relaxing week after Valentine Day. This time, it needs to be straight. Texlaxing means too much growth to deal with.

sunnieb Babygrowth thanks ladies!!!

deediamante, I decided to wear my hair this week (vs. wigs) since the weather is nice and my gosh, it makes me ready to relax. I'm ok with not relaxing as long as I keep my hair hidden.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

Approximately:13 weeks and 4 days
Whew..where did the time go? I swore just the other day I was only 11 weeks post....smdh
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow. My hair looks horrible but I'm trying to wait until February 13 to get a touchup because we're going to a comedy show and I want my hair to look fresh and luscious. :yep:
 
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

13 weeks post and I think I'm going to make it another 5 weeks. :yep:
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

14 weeks and 4 more to go.

I have had to change my regimen to manage this new growth but it is working.
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

Back on the relaxed side. 5 weeks tomorrow. Taking it one step at a time since I have to get used to stretching again. Seeing numbers like 16 wks, 20 wks, makes me remember the thrill of it. :drunk:
 
28 weeks and 4-8 weeks left before my follow up Komaza analysis. I want to hold off until my analysis. Fingers crossed that I can make it. Yesterday's wash was eventful...the first eventful wash in months. So, I can't even complain.

what are you going to inquire about and what are you hoping you find out?

My original analysis showed cuticle damage, major splits and signs of thinning. I want to see if these areas have improved. shortdub78

ETA: If my hair has improved, I know the relaxer (especially relaxer runoff) is the cause. If it hasn't, then my technique is the issue, perhaps. Thinning can be relaxer or meds so that one is a toss up. I'm on some different vits now that should help this issue...recommended by Komaza.

that's why I'm trying to stretch. I am also trying to keep up with taking vitamins, eating better, and seeing what is going on with my health. I just found a tiny bald spot again. I'm having some circulation problems, but don't know the cause. I hope you have a good follow up. If it is the relaxer, will go decide to keep transitioning?

Honestly shortdub78, as much I hate to put this in the atmosphere, I just might. I want healthy hair, not thinning or damaged hair. My sister is dealing with alopecia and hearing I have early signs of thinning has been eye opening and has me thinking.

I'm sorry you're dealing with a bald spot. Is it big? Is it totally bald?

it is tiny, but I feel hair missing from there and the area feels irritated.
