19 weeks, longest I have been without relaxing, but I miss my relaxed hair. Trying to do the natural and healthy thing but I might not make it!

I was 30 weeks post, but last friday, I decided to go ahead and relax because I noticed my shedding becoming a bit much.

I'm actually super glad that I bit the bullet and just went on and relaxed. A few more monthes and I would of been fully natural LOL

i have no idea.:( i can't remember when i last relaxed. i do know i'm at least 10 weeks though since i've had in braids for that long.

i'm still trying to decide if i want to transition or keep relaxing.

13 weeks this coming Tuesday - my longest. I notice that if I don't moisturize daily that by the time I get around to doing it I lose about a toonie (oh, Canada!) worth of hair albeit a fairly transparent amount (not dense but a lot of strands like a tumble weed). I am hoping to hold out until the end of August. *fingers crossed*

Hats off to all stretchers. I applaud your hard work. :urock: If I ever learn the art of stretching, I will be dangerous, in a good way!!!! :superbanana:

I'm 10 weeks post and ending my stretching on Wed. My time is wimpy compared to the rest but stretching is not my thing yet (been there, done that, with catastrophe)

I'm 9 weeks post with 7 more weeks to go. Last time I stretched for 20 weeks with 3.5 inches of new growth. This time if I can achieve 3 inches I'll make it to APL.

Hang in there, I too was going to transition but after 5 months I missed my relaxed hair and ended up getting a relaxer and I've regretted it since. This is my second attempt and I'm determined to make it through.

In the middle of week 10 of a 12 week stretch. I'm tempted to go 16 weeks again, but had major damage last time...won't be doing that again...nope :nono:
