How long does it take you to witness new growth post relaxer

[Creatividual]

Around 3 weeks I feel some new growth and from 4 weeks on, it's definitely there.

 

[sweetcashew]

Usually within a few days. Maybe 4 or 5 days...but I definitely have curly roots by then. I'm 2 weeks post and I swear my roots feel like they need a touch up already.

Okay I voted 2 weeks previously, but this time it is not 2 weeks.

I am 2 weeks post right now and I don't feel the NG that I used to feel.

That's fine with me though.

I stopped taking all supplements and using growth aids, so maybe my hair is going back to its normal growth rate.

Again, I am okay with that - maybe I can stretch my relaxer out a little more.

Usually about 2 weeks for me

 

[coconow2007]

In the past it took me a long time also but since I started doing the baggy method I see results in under 2 weeks or less

The first time I noticed new growth this time around was 5 weeks post... i've never paid attention to it before so i can't really say if that's normal for me...

I don't know WHAT is contributing to this new accelerated hair growth, but I have NEVER seen new growth at 2 weeks post (<-- my vote) before!! It's CRAZY! Maybe it's because I've started taking better care of my hair and it's thanking me for it! I have eliminated heat from my home hair regimen. I have began using Boundless Tresses regularly. I have started cowashing. I have done the baggy method a few times. I have started prepooing weekly with ORS hair mayo. I have started moisturizing my hair the RIGHT way (2x daily). I have started using castor oil. So I don't know WHAT is causing the new growth to come in already, but it's exciting! It's also a little nerve-wracking since I'm trying to do another 12 week relaxer stretch. I hope I can make it!!! Anyway, sorry for the rambling! I'm just so excited!!

I start seeing NG at the 7th or later weeks. I really can tell a different at week 10, but it's still managable, as long as I care for it and keep it moisturized. This can be good or bad because if you don't know any better than you can overlap relaxing. Which is why I HAVE to wait at least 10 weeks before even thinking about relaxing.

 

[seymone]

I starting seeing NG after 3 weeks

[aliciaq]

[TLC1020]

I start seeing newgrowth after 4wks, not much but its noticeable.

 

[ALWAYZL8]

When my hair is above my shoulders, I notice NG in about two to three weeks. Anything past shoulder length and it takes a lot longer. I didn't notice NG for five weeks this time around. What is that all about?

 

[snoopy1me]

After a relaxer usually I dont feel a curl pattern till the 4th or 5th week. Thank goodness I stretch my relaxers because there wouldnt be much to relax at 6 wks...

Same here lol

 

[♦K.O♦]

around 3 weeks.

 

[lejardinier]

Last touch-up was on 6/2/2007 and three weeks after I had between 3/4 to 1 inch of new growth. Now I'm trying to remember everything that I did to achieve this!

 

[wantlonghair25]

[missynoir]

3 post relaxer for me

 

[mrsjohnson75]

5-6 weeks post for me, and to think I used to relax @ 4 weeks sometimes...post LHCF (for what I do not know?? ).

 

[NYAmicas]

Around 4 weeks I really notice it. My hair will feel different at the roots in 2 weeks which annoys me. I definetly feel it right now, I'm stretching and Im at the 12 week point. I amire those that can make it past that, almost twice that. Cant comb this mop.

 

[joy1181]

four weeks

 

[nikki2229]

I really start to pay attention at the 4th week.
I am pretty sure that its there around the 2nd or 3rd week.

 

[november wind]

[Simply_Kelz]

It usually takes like .. 4/5 weeks for me erplexed

 

[vestaluv1]

When I was relaxing regularly, it took about 2 weeks to see new growth .
Now that I am transitioning it feels like my hair growth mechanism thingy is on vacation .
