11 weeks post and trying to stretch as long as I can. I'm already having a hard time dealing with the different textures. I resorted to flat ironing but on very low heat. I really hope that's not damaging.

The main thing that helps me stretch are low manipulation hair styles. Currently, I'm wearing wigs as a protective style so I really don't have to mess with my hair too much during the week. I find that if I'm not in my hair, I don't really focus on having to get a relaxer.
I also make it a point to not comb my hair while it's dry. The only time I comb my hair is when it's wet and loaded with conditioner or leave in. To do otherwise is asking for trouble.
Other than that, I really make sure my moisture game is on point. The deeper I go into my stretch, I start to apply my DCs to my roots the same way I would a relaxer, I do hot oil treatments, and I may DC for longer periods of time.
That's really it for me. I tend to keep my regimen simple. Hope this helps!

How many weeks post relaxer are you right now? 17
When is your next touch up? When I get tired of stretching. Right now, I'm not having any issues.
What relaxer will you use? Stylist relaxes with Mizani, but I'm thinking of going back to Linange. Can't decide.
Are you going to a salon or will you self-relax? Salon.

blackberry815 I have my hair in plaits (usually 2, sometimes 4) that are pinned up. I have a lot of shed hair on wash day but that is to be expected since I'm not combing my hair throughout the week.

Congrats to the 12 weeks plus stretchers. Hopefully once I hit shoulder length all around I will be able to go longer but with this current length it happening.

68 weeks post. Planning to relax sometime in December. Because I've waited over a year to relax, it's going to cost me somewhere in the range of $200- $250 to get my hair done...so right now, it's more about working it into my budget than timing.
I'm so ready to relax though.

I'm not sure how many weeks post I am at least 11 weeks I think. Or maybe 13. I want to relax this weekend I have a wedding in 10 days and I don't like flat hair that comes immediately after relaxing.

I have been stretching for 16 weeks and counting. I am trying to see how long I can hold off since I am thinking of transitioning.Thanks to Carol's Daughter (and my flatiron) my roots are still soft and manageable so far! I am trying to fight the urge to relax!! I usually go to the salon for my retouches. I use Avlon Affirm Sensitive or Designer Essentials Sensitive.

blackberry815 Past 8 weeks its in plaits under a wig for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. I take them down for a wash a remove the shed as much as possible before I wash. Less manipulation, less breakage between the 2 textures. It works for me.

i just got my hair relaxed about three weeks ago? but i got some serious new growth going on now. i don't know if it is growth or she under processed me. but my hair was pretty straight when i got my touchup. i am going to hold on until Jan-Feb, unless it just gets ridiculous.
