divachyk - alright, we'll let you off the hook this time. Isn't it great when you have learned what your hair needs to be able to decide to wait on relaxing?

Yes please let me off the hook this time sunnieb.:grin: It is definitely a great feeling to be able to get your hair under control. I really don't like touching up beyond eight weeks but I feel this is the best right now. I am sticking to braided styles or twisted styles to hold me over. This way it will help minimize the breakage I typically get beyond eight weeks.
 
My self-pic of my length check was blurry. No length check shots (yet), just a pony to showcase my hair! My TU was Fri evening. If I decide to get dh to snap a length check shot, I'll swing back through and post it.

So after exactly twenty weeks, I relaxed yesterday!!!! I am so pleased with my results. I got a lot of growth, but it wasn't just stretching that assisted me with growth gain. I participated and maintained a few things since I relaxed June 21.

1. Vitamin Intake: I am very religious about my vitamin intake. I took the recommended dosage of Biotin, MSM, HNS, Fish Oil, Aloe Vera Supplement and recently Silica and Mineral Rich.

2. Growth Aids: Although not as adamant about applying my MN and Sulfur mixes, I did do them a good part of September and a good amount in October.

3. No Heat the last 3 weeks (almost a month). I question if I wasn't such a "Heat Head" if I would've seen better results?!!! I flat ironed once weekly before stopping heat altogether. I used heat last night; however, I do not plan to use direct heat again until1.1.13 and then every three or four months thereafter.

4. Deep Conditioning twice-three times weekly, co-washing at least once a week, more further into my stretch, moisturizing, sealing and treating my hair like a Queen.

Luster and health is slowly returning to where I once was. I'm super happy I found you ladies. I've learned so much in my twenty weeks on LHCF. Have a great weekend!

Relaxer Regiment
- Aphogee 2 Step week before
- Spray SAA on hair (not new growth) before application
- Sealed SAA with Chi Silk Infusion
- Based around the perimeter of my hairline
- Applied Relaxer (Linange Lye)
- Rinsed
- Mid-Step Protein (Aphogee 2-min)
- Neutralize Shampoo (ORS)
- Neutralize Condish (Linange)
- DC w. SD Chocolate Bliss
- Rinsed, applied Leave-in (Lacio Lacio)
- Airdried to 70%
- Blowdried on low (almost cool, Heat Protectant of course)
- Flat Ironed (Heat Protectant of course)
- Wrapped
- HAPPY!

If you notice, I have a small tattoo on my shoulder blade. That was my measuring point. The first pic is from my relaxer 6.21 and the second is from last night :)

@DominicanBrazilian82, you have AMAZING results!! I can def see your hair growth and thickness. Was this your 1st time self relaxing?

Thank you :blush: Been self relaxing since I was 15. I'll be 30 on the 17th. My Mom was a Beautician when I was small. I learned to self-relax by watching her do hers and others...
