6 months in 2008 when I was pregnant. I gained a ton of thickness from that.

 

[lolascurls]

[Lexib]

1 whole year!!!!! It wasn't easy, and around month six, it really got hard when the two different textures were so visible. I'm glad I did it, hopefully my hair is healthier. I don't think I'll ever stretch that long again...

 

[TLC1020]

Right now I am 18 weeks post and probably going 2 more weeks.. That would make 5 months whoooooo ..............

 

[tenderheaded]

Right now I'm 38 weeks. I'll be relaxing around New Year's Eve!

Hair One Olive Oil has let me go longer!!!!

I did a 12-month stretch as a personal challenge in 2008 and it ended up turning into my successful transition to natural.

My last perm was november 1st 2008. In a perfect world I will wait until may...but I might get it done in February.

18 weeks...just two weeks shy of 5 months. I just got through with it, actually. Let me tell you...it was TORTURE coming toward the end of it, and the relaxing process was so tedious. I'm sticking with 3 months from now on.

 

[Kellum]

A little past 19 weeks and the last 4 weeks were touch with the ng tangles.

I'm 16 weeks post touch-up now and I'm aiming for 20 weeks. I will hide my hair in some tree braids or singles until the end of January or early February.

This past spring - summer I went 23 weeks and was hoping for APL when my stylist cut my hair (yes, CUT not trimmed). I will BKT and then braid again. I'm hoping for past APL unstretched and well on my way to BSL before I go back to her again. This way if she 'cuts' me back to APL I'll be okay with it. I'm texlaxed and afraid to do it on my own.

 

[lovenharmony]

7 months and counting!

Im sorry, but it shouldnt be ok if she "cuts" you back to APL, especially if you are at BSL and all you want is a trim. I had this happen to me (was SL and I got taken to a little lower than my ear) and I dont want it to happen to anyone else...unless you are ok with the cut.
