How many weeks post-relaxer are you..

19 weeks, longest I have been without relaxing, but I miss my relaxed hair. Trying to do the natural and healthy thing but I might not make it!
 
I was 30 weeks post, but last friday, I decided to go ahead and relax because I noticed my shedding becoming a bit much.

I'm actually super glad that I bit the bullet and just went on and relaxed. A few more monthes and I would of been fully natural LOL
 
i have no idea.:( i can't remember when i last relaxed. i do know i'm at least 10 weeks though since i've had in braids for that long.

i'm still trying to decide if i want to transition or keep relaxing.

13 weeks this coming Tuesday - my longest. I notice that if I don't moisturize daily that by the time I get around to doing it I lose about a toonie (oh, Canada!) worth of hair albeit a fairly transparent amount (not dense but a lot of strands like a tumble weed). I am hoping to hold out until the end of August. *fingers crossed*
 
Hats off to all stretchers. I applaud your hard work. :urock: If I ever learn the art of stretching, I will be dangerous, in a good way!!!! :superbanana:

I'm 10 weeks post and ending my stretching on Wed. My time is wimpy compared to the rest but stretching is not my thing yet (been there, done that, with catastrophe)
 
great thread!

6 weeks post on Sat. virgin texturizer after 3 years. did a mini-bc last may. before that i was natural for about 7 (maybe more) years.

shooting for 12 weeks and possibly longer.
 
I'm 9 weeks post with 7 more weeks to go. Last time I stretched for 20 weeks with 3.5 inches of new growth. This time if I can achieve 3 inches I'll make it to APL.

Hang in there, I too was going to transition but after 5 months I missed my relaxed hair and ended up getting a relaxer and I've regretted it since. This is my second attempt and I'm determined to make it through.
 
In the middle of week 10 of a 12 week stretch. I'm tempted to go 16 weeks again, but had major damage last time...won't be doing that again...nope :nono:
