I don't relax, but it seems like the general statement from the relaxed heads on the board is that you should relax when your hair tells you it's time, not when the calendar says you should. If you can hold out on the relaxer without excessive breakage or shedding (i.e. conditioner washes, etc.), then try. Otherwise, relax your head starting with the thickest newgrowth and leave the relaxer on the wavy part of your head for a shorter amount of time. Hope this helps, but if not, maybe some of our relaxed sisters can assist...
