I'm 13 weeks, and I'm not sure when I'll have time to relax! Kinda want to do a protective style until I have some free time.

15 weeks on Sunday I believe. Might relax sooner than 20 weeks. Even if I do, I will make my goal of 3 relaxers this year.

It'll be 11 weeks on Sunday. My hair is getting big and I don't like to deal with it now. Maybe I can hold out to 13 weeks post.

11 weeks. I'm not ready to relax although 10 weeks is my norm. I will keep pressing until breakage gets stupid. I'm just at a crossroads with my hair.

43 weeks

Still debating what I'm going to do. I want to see my old stylist and let her look at my hair. After reading some old posts I realized how long I've been hovering over the same length meanwhile my new growth is here so I either need her help if I continue relaxing or just let it grow and chop off the relaxed ends. I know I do not want to deal with short hair so if I was to officially transition it would be for another year at least. Decisions decisions.

Entering my 12th week! I haven't stretched this long in a very long time. Praying to the hair angels I won't regret this down the line.

How's the breakage PureSilver. I had a bunch around week 7 but it normalized around week 8 or 9.

Thanks for asking divachyk

I honestly don't know what to think is normal in terms of shedding because i'm always seeing hair. The only time I don't see more than 5 strands is after I self relax. I know the under processed left side contributes greatly to the amount of hair I see each day/week or on wash days so i'm thinking of having my hair professionally done for my final relaxer for this year.

Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

PureSilver, I'm all for professional relaxers so I like how you're thinking. I always see a ton of hair although it seems to get a little worse as I get into a stretch.
