Use to Stretching NOW paranoid to relax sooner than...

[PinkPebbles]

Ladies- I've reaped the benefits in stretching my relaxer to 12-16 weeks. Now I'm paranoid to relax sooner than 12 weeks.

I'm going on a weekend getaway and I'll be 9 1/2 weeks post but I'm scared to relax my new growth...thinking it's too soon. CRAZY, I've never thought I'll be saying this because I use to relax every 6 wks prior to LHCF....Does anyone else feel this way???

I know how you feel. I was right with you getting a touch up around 6 or 7 weeks! Now I stretch 12 weeks as well and I wouldn't even DREAM of getting a relaxer sooner than that!

Practice braidouts and bantu knots before your trip and maybe you can go without the relaxer.hth

I feel ya. I'm a 10-12 week stretcher after my failed 7 month transition.
But thanks to that failed transition, I have no problems going 10-12 weeks before relaxers. I just started texlaxing at my last touch up.

I found that I personally don't like going beyond 12 wks because my hair starts breaking and Lord knows, I'm just geting my thickness back.

Thanks Ladies...I'm going to try and wait it out...

FAMU- I just got my thickness back too and I don't want to mess it up..that's my biggest concern
