To relax or not to relax?

Am I relaxing too soon???

Hello ladies!!! My last FULL relaxer was this past january. However, I have been wearing sew in's, so I relax my edges and also a small portion of hair in the front. Well, I really miss my hair ya'll ( I really wanna update my Fotki ), and it seems that ever since I started using the MN mixture, I'm already getting new growth. Also, it's really hard to manage my 4 months post hair. If you were me, would you relax? I wouldn't relax my edges by the way. Thanks in advance!

How long has it been since you took your weave down?

Thank you nelli! I actually took it down yesterday, however I've never had a problem relaxing the day after I take down braids.

IMO, I would say to wait a couple weeks before you relax so that you can get some deep conditioning in along with a protein treat. If your hair is getting hard to manage, you can only wait a week but I honestly wouldn't relax so soon after you took it down. HTH
