Spinny: The Relaxer "Reveal" Thread!!!!

⏳ Limited Access:

Register today to view all forum posts.

I'm currently about two months post and am thinking that I will relax this weekend. I usually touch up every three months, but I think my wig regiment has given me a lot of good growth over the past month. I can't comb through my roots once I sweat them out. :nono: I hate that feeling, so I will more than likely just cut this stretch short, unless I decide to go back to the wig regimen. I haven't made up my mind yet. :lol:

Taken this morning- I relaxed on Wednesday, at 12 weeks post. This used to be my usual amount of time between relaxers until I did a one 10 month stretch and then a couple of 6 month stretches during and after my 2010 pregnancy.

I'm a little disappointed that I still don't seem to be BSL but I trimmed after my last relaxer and it's looking more even this time so won't need to. Hopefully I'll be there by early 2013.

My jet black colour has faded and I'm planning to use a semi permanent colour in two weeks time, am desperate switch it up for summer and colour which is why I decided to relax when I could have stretched longer. My regrowth was also getting sweated out and reverting quickly with this hot weather and humidity we're now having in the UK.

I think I'll try and stretch another 3 months until November then try and stretch 6 months over winter until May if I can!

Now I just need to decide which L'Oreal Casting colour I'm going to use this time! I'm thinking Plum but may go for something more red or maybe Chocolate..

Here's my pre-relaxer pic from Friday. I was 1 day shy of being 16 weeks post:

Here's my pic from this morning. I slept in a loose bun, so I have a slight curl on the ends.

I'm so excited because even with my mini-chop, I'm only about 1/2 inch away from being BSL again! :yay:

Ignore the numbers, I think it's about time for me to retire this number shirt! I can never get the lines to line up the same! :)
 
Sunnib Lovely results! All that shrinkage was hiding your length :D

Babysaffy I'm loving your hair! and I feel you on this heat.... not sure when to end my stretch
 
Hi! Happy Sunday:). I relaxed today and here are some pics. The shorter one was at 25 wks.,and the others are my resullts. My hair is still a little damp, but I am happy with the results- 3 inches of new growth- I have you ladies and YT to thank. After an illness 4 years ago, I did not think my hair would grow back from neck length. Thank the Lord and it will get better:) Thanks again!
The yellow and blue shirts show my relaxer back in February. White is second relaxer of the year.

@bebezazueta How do you do your curls? With what rollers & what product? They are truly beautiful.

I suck at self-pics. Maybe I can get dh to take better ones tomorrow and I re-post. Plus, the random piece of lint in the photos is driving me nuts. But for now, here goes....
