I think I might relax next month. I checked my blog, and I relaxed back in the beginning of June. I’m a little bit further than I initially thought. I definitely feel the new growth now lol

Where do y'all buy your relaxer?

I've tried both Walmart and Amazon in the past but I worried about the integrity of the perm. So I feel better buying from BSS online so either Goldenmart Beauty, Maxx Beauty (because it's in Detroit) or Sally's.

@MzSwift yep, I'm hesitant to buy from Amazon. You never know where the product is coming from.

I can't find the email from my last order and can't remember the retailer name. :(

26 weeks post and looking like :hair:
My norm is 18-20 weeks but I've been so incredibly busy this summer! The time passed before I knew it. Not going to relax for a few more weeks because my crown is so dry and has a little bit of breakage that I need to give a little tlc first. So I will probably be around 32-35 weeks before I get to it. I've been putting my hair in twists at night and doing a twist out updo. Surprisingly, I'm getting a lot of compliments on my hair even tho it's puffy to the extreme :lol:

Currently 5 weeks post. However I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff to my scalp to keep it happy, and washing almost every day, along with inverting and using peppermint oil on my head so I already have roughly 1.2 inches worth of new growth. The growth is coming in a lot softer than it has in the past, so thankfully I’m not experiencing a lot of clumping and tangling.

Oooh, why at 10 weeks this time?

I actually want to go as long as I can because I don't want to deal with relaxing my hair. It feels so cumbersome to relax these days. I was thinking of doing big braids with extensions for about 4 weeks.

But I'm thinking 10 weeks because that may be as long as I can go before another wash. After the tangles I dealt with during my last wash session, I will have to relax the next time I touch my scalp if I want to keep both my hair and sanity :)

Totally understand. LOL.
That's why I stay under crochet style. I don't have the energy to deal with my hair being out either.
I hope your relaxer goes well! :)
