That stuff is going back! It tangled my hair so bad! I'm already experiencing an increase in shedding. I will have to straighten my hair to see what's going on. And I might just wash every 5 days so I can straighten my hair, due to this new growth.

Are you treating your hair with a good protein reconstructor @Lymegreen? You might only be having demarcation breakage?

That's ok. You can correct it later, or just let it be.
Now that you mention it. I try a reconstructor at week 7 next time to see if it will help me stretch just a little longer.

NotLucky no mo' just blessed.
I will be relaxing my hair sometime within the week hopefully. I wish I could have done it tomorrow since it's my off day AND there's no school for the kid. However, I've already washed, protein treatmented, dc-ed, and blow dried today . Guess I gotta wait a couple of days.

I know what you mean. It would have been more convenient for me to relax today or tomorrow when I am off but I have decided to relax on Friday. The problem with today and tomorrow is that everyone is off (no work/no school) and they will just get in my way. I have some extra time off that I need to use, so I have decided to take Friday off and when the kids go to school and hubby goes to work I will relax and be done when they get home. This way I won't have him in my way or looking at all of the products I use on relaxer day. I am looking forward to it since I am 16 weeks post.

Thanks @Aggie!
I'm so off, that I'm glad you're my relaxer twin. I'll relax in a few weeks. No unnecessary stretching for me. The first time my hair gets too difficult, I'm relaxing.
@sunnieb
So are we relaxing the last week in this month? If you are, then I am too
. I want to on September 23rd though but I believe I can make it until September 30th if I wear my wig .

Actually, I'd recommend doing one every 3-4 weeks to keep the hair from breaking off and to keep it strong.

Okay keep me posted a couple days ahead and I'll do the same.I think September 30 is when I'll relax. If I make it.

5 1/2 weeks. I had an inch of new growth.
I want to work out early in the morning and I know a relaxer is a no no after a workout. 'Sigh'

Last perm was in January (around the 18th). I'm always on the fence, plan is to keep pushing till April 2018 and see if I like my natural hair. If not, I'll just perm and start over again. I usually perm by the 5-6 month mark, but I used the Design essentials straightening mousse, which made dealing with my hair much easier.

No, at the salon after relaxing. I have since removed it though.
