I'm only 2 weeks four days since my last relaxer. I have no idea when I'm getting another touch up. It will probably be in another 8 weeks or so

I try to relax my hair no more then 4 times a year. Trying to do it only 3 times a year. It's been since Dec for me so I am due! I'm about 12 weeks from last relaxer.

I'm 26 weeks post and haven't done a TU since I joined the forum last Oct. I'm past due and am only surviving because my hair is thin/low density and I work from home. To be honest with everything I've learned since I've been here I'm kind of afraid to do it myself and even more afraid to go a stylist because I don't have anyone I trust. What to do, what to do...

My perm was 3/19. I'm about a month in.....I'm not sure when my next perm is going to be.....probably August. .

I was natural for 3 years and already practicing healthy relaxed hair care before switching to natural.

So the two texture shouldn't be much of a problem for me.

I'm 11 weeks post and planning on relaxing at week 12. Growing out this assymetric cut has been murder. Even though I am making progress it looks like i'm not b/c the main goal right now is to try to even out the two sides of my hair. Regardless I am happy that I am able to go 12 weeks with it at this length. It hasn't become super unmanageable yet so next time I will try for 16 weeks.

I'm longing for my signature shoulder length with chinese bangs:(. My sister told me not to cut my hair...

12 weeks post, and relaxing next weekend rather than stretching to 15 weeks.

6 weeks post. I want to go for another 3-4 weeks against my stylist's wishes. She wants me to T/U next week as according to her 'I have a lot of new growth.' I firmly told her that I will not be touching up next week. The convo went like this:

Her: You are touching up next week right?
Me: Nope
Her: But you have a lot of new growth
Me: I know but its only been 6 weeks and I know my hair and know that I don't need a T/U now
Her: So you are in control now? (with a tone that sounded as if I offended her)
Me: I am not saying that, just saying that I won't be relaxing next week
Her: So when?
Me: I will let you know

Gotta be firm!!!! It's my hair, and I know how to deal with it!

I'm 9 weeks post today. I could touch up on the 14th of May but I'm having such an easy time of it that I may just go longer than 12 weeks. We shall see though :grin:

Anyway, I just ordered my new relaxer yesterday and who knows when it will get here. Anybody out there using Affirm Fiberguard Sensitive Scalp. I did a little research and I know a lot of people don't like it because it doesn't it get you bone straight, but I'm going for texlaxed anyway.

sunnieb, I had almost decided to self relax at the end of the month using the ORS no lye that I already purchased BUT, I just noticed short hairs on the top of my head (where I'm already experiencing thinning) and I don't know whether it's new growth or breakage. Now I don't know whether it would be better to wait a little while longer or relax sooner.
