My hair is growing like fricking WEEDS this summer. I was thinking about stretching out to 16 weeks instead of doing my usual 12 but i've changed my mind. I will be touching up at 12 weeks which for me is 3 weeks from now

i'm not upset for sure, i'm glad it's growing. The funny thing is that it seems like my hair grew soooooo SLOW this past winter.....does the season really make that much of a difference???? Now i'm starting to wonder... Anyway just updating folks on that. -- jainygirl
 
Interesting for you to say this..my hair grows quickly too, but I had about an inch at 3 weeks post relaxer(havent really checked lately since it's coiling up) and I really wanted to go until at least October because I have tentatively decided to go natural. Anyhow, with the trouble I'm having detangling and nowing how fast my hair grows and how faster it will grow this summer, I'm not too sure anymore!

I think hair definitely grows faster in the summer. At first, I thought it was because you had less chances of your hair coming in contact with harsher fabrics (wool, etc), but I think it's more than that. I just don't know what

, lol. I am stretching ONLY to 12 weeks, and it's getting awful because of the new growth. Sorry you can't stretch until 16, but at least it's because you have a bunch of growth

. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on my mood), I have no choice but to wait, because I won't be near a stylist I trust until week 12

Before joining this forum, I never kept track of how fast my hair would grow during the seasons. Ive just heard that hair grows faster in the summer but I have not experienced it yet. This year, I will compare how fast my hair grows this summer to this upcoming winter.

I'm new at stretching out my relaxers. Before I joined this forum I would only wait 4 weeks then get another relaxer. I've been gradually spreading out my relaxer. My last relaxer was in May and I will be stretching this out until August. Unfortunely (or fortunely depending ony our prespective) I have ALOT of new growth already and I'm only post relaxer by 5 weeks!!! I must do this though in order to gain the growth that I desire. I also believe that hair grows faster in warm weather and humidity. I'm not sure of why though. I think alot of it has to do with humidity though. I'm gonna need some serious support for these next 7 weeks.

I'm glad you're not upset about it because stretching out relaxer touch-ups doesn't work for everyone (as we all know).

My hair is growing like bananas too, and I just barely past the 6th week. My gawd. It's especially visible with short hair.
