Here is my situation.

I am in the process of taking out my micro braids. Prior to getting micros I was wearing protective styles (bun, phony pony, half wig or braidouts). I haven't had a touch up since 4/1/05. once im finished taking my them out, which will be in about 3 hours. Im planning on doing a few deep conditions and based on what I decide I wouldnt be relaxing a for about 2-3 weeks. I no there is a diff between salon (lye relaxer) and no lye relaxers. The stylist I was going to used Dudleys relaxers and I haven't giving myself a relax in years so I'm kind of leary. Have you experienced more than usual breakage from going longer periods without relaxing??

Open to any & all suggestions!

TIA
 
update: I had 3 inches of new growth from wearing micros from for 3 mos. after trying to manage my hair for a week I was having serious issues just trying to do anything to it and broke down and got a touchup. I was gonna get twists for the holidays but decided to weight until the first of the year.
