I'm realistically looking to do a May-June and Nov-Dec relaxer schedule.
My last relaxer was in Dec. I'm here at the end of April now and, while I have new growth, it's manageable and it's not enough for me to relax.
So sometime in May and June is probably a better relax date for me. Too much happens for us in May and I might be in a mood to rock my hair loose. Same with Nov-Dec, holidays and EOTY updates. So I'm sticking with 5-7 month stretches.
