Spinoff: How many times do the relaxed ladies relax their hair a year

[Desarae]

8 times a year

 

[Prinncipality]

4-5 times a year

 

[nymane]

2-3 times a yr

 

[TressObsessed]

Until my setback in Aug 09 it was every 6-8 weeks and that was pushing it I am currently on week 12 of a 16 week stretch, but after this I will be relaxing every 8-10 weeks (8 weeks used to be a stretch)

 

[TamedTresses]

I have seen ladies on here that stretch for over a year and I'm like, "Wow! A stretch for me is 6 weeks. That being said, I relax once a month LOL. I chopped it all off about 2 1/2 years ago and went natural and I was back on the "black crack" as my friends call it 1 1/2 years later. I've been relaxed for just over a year now.

Relaxing every month worked for me before I went natural and its working for me now. I was top of my bra strap last week, but after taking out some kinky twists I cut about 2" inches sooo... I am about 2" from my bra strap.

Maybe I will be persuaded to stretch for 2 months. Who knows? Will post pics soon...

 

[Zawaj]

Usually 1x but up to 3x per year.

 

[LushLox]

I'm planning to do it twice this year and in the future.

 

[n_vizion]

In 2009 I relaxed 4 times (I think). This year it'll probably be 3.

 

[topnotch1010]

Every 6 weeks.

 

[hair4romheaven]

twice a year

 

[Nya33]

I went from natural to relaxed last June 09 and was retouching every 3 months. This year i am aiming for every 4 months to tie in with bootcamp so i can flat iron!

 

[tenderheaded]

I ended a 40 week stretch on Christmas morning, so it's hard to say. But the maximum is 2 times a year.

Wow! I really would like to be able to stretch for that long and ultimately only relax twice a year.

 

[amwcah]

1-2x per year. This year I'm striving for the big 1!

 

[ellebelle88]

In 2008, I relaxed 4x. But in 2009, I only relaxed 3x! Let's see what happens for 2010!

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

3x a year with 15 week stretches in-between

 

[sunnieb]

Will get it done 4x in 2010.

Down from 12x (once a month) in 2008!

Down to 3x a year now!

 

[Nix08]

I'm aiming to be able to go 3 times a year if this 16 week stretch is successful. I think it will be.

 

[MyAngelEyez~C~U]

When I was relaxed I had it done 4x yearly, every 12 weeks, roughly.

[Britt]

Usually 5-6x a year... aiming for 3-4x a year.

 

[Mische]

I relax 4x a year now. I used to relax 6x a year.

 

[RoseTintedCheeks]

In 2010, I did it 4x. This year it's going to be 3! My plan is to do it at Thanksgiving (American), but I think I might hold off until Christmas which will put me at 24 weeks. It would be my first 6 month stretch. :-0

 

[IDareT'sHair]

3-4 Times Per Year.

 

[kupenda]

4 times a year. When my mom was getting my hair done when I was younger, it was every 6-8 weeks like clockwork. And this is the longest i remember my hair ever being since I was like 5 lol. I had my SO give a general measurement on wet hair. I'm not due for a touchup til September but right bow, including shrinkage from an inch of new growth, I'm abt 2 to 3 inches from APL!! I'm in awe.

I really don't keep count. I NEED too. I started doing my own relaxers this year and so far I went thru 3 relaxers already. Is that bad? I use mazanis love it. my staple relaxer

 

[pink219]

Shooting for only twice a year.

 

[belldandy]

2 or 3 times a year

 

[sunnieb]

Will get it done 4x in 2010.

Down from 12x (once a month) in 2008!

I still get 4 relaxers a year. I think one day I might try to get that down to 3x a year. Not in a hurry though.

 

[Kay.Dee]

Shooting for twice a year!

 

[Nix08]

Aiming for 3-4, I think I did 4-5 last year. On track for 4 this year.
