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

[PureSilver]

I just mixed my relaxer as well (the activator and the relaxer). I added 1.5 tbsp of EVOO 3 tbs of Vo5 revitalizing conditioner, mixed it throughly and the result is a soft creamy very smooth texture. I'm now wondering if I mixed it too early since I decided to relax next week after mixing it.

Ladies will my mixture be fine until next Sunday/Monday. How should/can I store it.

17 weeks. The end is in sight (even though my scalp may not be lol).

 

[Nayeli]

Ladies, please tell me I'm not the only one who gets pre-relaxer paranoia. Just dc'ed for my relaxer on friday and I feel like my hair isn't as thick as I want it to be and some of my ends are see-through. I just want to be put out of the uncertainty of if I'll be pleased with my progress. Anyone else experience this right before relaxing?

5 weeks post and its smooth sailing. 13 more to go.

 

[Nazaneen]

last relaxer was april 10 so I'm well over 4 months post now. i cannot justify relaxing again. my hair straightens just fine and i cant distinguish the new growth from the relaxed when my hair is curly. I use Linange and it really doesnt alter my texture much

 

[PureSilver]

1 week post. Doesn't look like it though since I'm not bone straight and as smooth as I wanted to be.

16 weeks today. Protein DC went well - starting to prep my hair for my relaxer in three weeks. Not sure why I ever stopped using apogee pro-vitamin leave-in but it's back to stay.

how are you using this? I remember one of the Youtubers used to used it with her rollersets.

how are you using this? I remember one of the Youtubers used to used it with her rollersets.

Right out of the shower, on lightly towel dried hair. I do a gentle comb and let it penetrate a bit. When it's a bit dryer I add my NTM leave-in and leave to air dry fully.

That's how much I miss seeing my hair underneath these wigs

Relaxing in 2 weeks

 

[11228]

My retouch came out just alright. I have some under processed parts on the sides but it is manageable till the next retouch.

The best part of a fresh relax is the ability run my fingers through my hair from roots to tips without dear of ripping out some hair. Next are the stress free wash days. It is a breeze!

 

[Nayeli]

Couple hours post. Another enjoyable relaxer and I got a trim as well. Not going to stretch that long again unless forced.

[Lilmama1011]

[mz.rae]

[TayMac]

About 8 weeks post. Going for 12-14 weeks for my next retouch.

 

[MsCarmenP]

Tomorrow will be 14 weeks for me. I have crochet sensgalese twists in now, so not really being forced to deal with my hair much. I'm not sure if I'll take these out in another week or so and redo them. Or take them down, wait a week and get my touchup.

 

[TLC1020]

22 weeks post, so that's what 5 1/2 months post relaxer? I usually go 24 weeks but it become underprocessed at that time.

 

[CluelessJL]

I'm at 15 weeks. Will probably end up relaxing at about 17 weeks: I'm almost definitely going to attempt to self relax for the first time but I think it'll take another couple of weeks of research, asking questions and gathering supplies! Eep!

 

[free2bme]

16 weeks tomorrow.....This has been my easiest stretch so far

 

[Lymegreen]

4 weeks post. Still going strong to relax at 9 weeks. My hair is doing great!

 

[Sosoothing]

Im about 12weeks post relaxer. I have some big braids in and will be relaxing as soon as I take them out. Probably within the next 2 weeks.

 

[Rozlewis]

[CluelessJL]

16 weeks and really looking forward to relaxing this weekend. I think this is about my limit until I learn some new tricks; my new growth has been so tangly and out of control over the last couple of weeks.
