How many weeks post relaxer are you?

[Ebony Majesty]

I reached 16 weeks! I couldn't take it anymore and relaxed today

 

[preciousjewel76]

I'm 11 weeks post. I'm relaxing on Saturday. This is my first stretch; previously, I relaxed every 6 weeks. My hair is a lot easier to manage than I thought it would be! If I weren't going out of town for Christmas soon, I would probably stretch until the new year.

I'm 80 weeks post! 16 more weeks to go before I chop.

 

[B_Phlyy]

It's going to be 16 weeks tomorrow, not relaxing anymore though.

 

[Wishin4BSL]

Wow...I could never go for more than three months...well who knows? Maybe when I find the right detangling product, I could do it!

6 weeks in 3 days. I usually go for 8 weeks since I tried longer and it wasn't too pretty but do to finances I'll be going to about 12 weeks.

 

[nycutiepie]

I'm 11 weeks and I'll be relaxing next week at 12. This is the longest I've gone and it wasn't that bad until about 9 1/2 weeks.

 

[meek&quietspirit]

I am 12 weeks and three days.

 

[Lusa]

Week 21, and I am getting a touch up next week. I was shooting for 24 weeks, but I decided to get my hair done for christmas. Two weeks shy aint bad!

 

[simplycee]

Week 10. Trying to make it to 12 if my hair cooperates.

 

[shawniegee]

I'm one week post relaxer, but I waited 6 months to relax.

 

[Angel1794]

[senimoni]

[DKO]

I'm at 14 weeks and so far so good. I'm getting braids next week and I'll try to keep them in for 2 months.

I'm 11 weeks post and I've reached my stretching goal. I will be relaxing this week, so I can prepare for the Hide your hair until Christmas challenge

 

[Cayenne0622]

I'm only about 5 weeks but if you include my last two underprocessed relaxer episodes, it looks and feels like much longer!! I'm trying to hold out until January to do a retouch and get everything corrected.

 

[gymfreak336]

I am about 3 weeks post. I am shooting for atleast 8 weeks

 

[prettypuff1]

lol, i just had a relaxer friday.. but i was 6 months post before then. I am going to shoot for another 24 week stretch

 

[Max2004]

I am 3 weeks post relaxer, but before that I was 6 weeks post.

 

[Sha76]

Currently, I am 6 wks post. I am shotting for 12 wks right now, but I access the NG to see how much it is and can I handle that much every 2 weeks. So far I have about 1 inch NG. Which is definitely not enough for me to want to get a retouch. I think I need at least 2 inches for a retouch. But my ultimate goal is every 6 months. I am working up to it.

I'm 8 weeks post tomorrow. Its not as bad as I thought it would be. This is my second "on purpose" stretch......my first was when I was 13 about 6 years ago. My mother wouldn't let me get a touch-up my entire 8 grade year until graduation (about 7 or 8 months)....I hated it (mostly because I was 13 and I wanted to wear my hear down and straight like everyone else)!!! But my hair grew a lot. I don't have a set week where I relax, just whenever my new growth gets so thick that its hard to manage. My first goal is to get to January 17th which would be 3 months but I might end up stretching longer if I can manage it.

 

[tatje]

This is my first time stretching. I am 6 weeks post. I usually get it every four months. I am hoping to stretch till the the first week of March. That will make it 20 weeks. Hopefully it can be done. Right now, its not that bad.

 

[Treasure2k6]

I am about 2 months post relaxer! Last one was....Oct 9th or 13th. Tryna go until my bday Feb 21

 

[LadyJay114]

I'm 8 weeks... I'm trying to stretch until the end of this month and hopefully beyond.

i started flatironing; i hope that's the stretching secret

 

[atrinibeauty]

I'll be 21 weeks this friday This will be the longest stretch that I've ever done.Last week I blowdried my hair and it sure did a number on me Hopefully it didn't do too much damage....That blowdryer is the debil!!

 

[SilkyandSmooth]

6 weeks. I'll be touching up at 12 weeks. Maybe.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

This is my first stretch. I used to go only 6 weeks between touchups. Now I am 8 weeks post and the new growth is very manageable, so I'm not getting one just yet. I'm going to see where I'm at one month from now.

 

[nfynit_812]

About 3 months post relaxer....with 3 more months to go!!!!
