Relaxing One Week After Braids

[greAtness333]

Do you think this is a good idea? Has anyone done this before with good/bad results?

I have some breakage in the front but I also have a lot of new growth that makes up for it. My hair is pretty strong and healthy but I didn't want to risk damage by relaxing too soon. I'm just getting impatient. I wanted to wait two weeks when school started but I have my cousin's wedding shower to go to this weekend. What do you think I should do?

I've done it three times and was fine. Some people like to let the hair rest,but for me a week is enough rest.

Yea, that's what I'm thinking because my hair seems to be in pretty good shape...better than I imagined actually.

I think you will be fine also. I have relaxed after about 3 days after taking out braids. They key is, you know how to properly care for you hair. Good Luck!
