33 weeks and probably getting a weave in the next week or two to give myself a break and think about what I want to do next with my hair.

12 weeks post today, time flies when you put your hair under a weave. Don't know when I'll relax, I'll decide in 2 weeks time when I take down the weave.

Only a few hours post. I relaxed my hair after one month.
- I'm so ready for this pixie cut to grow out now too.

9 weeks post and feeling it a little.

It's my own fault. I didn't do a mid-week cowash so it felt like I was combing through carpet this morning.

I'll do my regular clarify/moisture shampoo/moisture dc tonight and all should be well again.

7 weeks past Friday. DC'ed yesterday. Seriously, seriously contemplating color after my next relaxer. When I start getting bored like this anything can happen (from pixie cut to going natural).

I'll be 9 weeks post tomorrow too. My last self relax I underprocessed but I'm dealing with it little by little and have to keep reminding myself the the NG and underprocessed portion needs extra moisture. I would love to go a little longer so I'm considering a weave for 11 weeks. Refreshing it 2x within that period.

We have a winner! Got it yesterday and relaxed. Hands down, the best relaxer I've ever done at home. I even let it air dry and it still looks like I went to a salon. I'm so glad I read your post.

Thanks!

Lineage has been sitting in my cart for a couple weeks as well. I really want to try it for my next relaxer hoping that it will give me great results. If not I'll go back to using my oldie but goodie Motions.

14 weeks post. I had planned to go to 18 but this new growth is too much. It looks like about 2 inches and I have 4z hair so I am struggling. I will be relaxing next weekend at 15 weeks.

Will be 15 weeks post this coming Tuesday. I washed and dc'd today after taking down the weave and didn't encounter any problems so I think I'll put in another weave for 8 more weeks and relax in December.

I don't remember when my last relaxer was, but it was some time between last September and January. I get a little fuzzy on how I cared for my hair after January but I started my Braidlocs in June and I'll be relaxing almost as soon as I can take these Bradelocs down. I'm just about 90% done, and I have a significant amount of new-growth lol. Possibly 3-4 inches of new-growth.

1 week and 1 day. I'm still debating on if I should fix the front part of my hair since it's a drastically different texture then the rest of my hair.
