Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I am 11 weeks post. I plan to self-relax with Linange at the end of July (just in time for summer vacay), when I will be 33 weeks post. I relaxed only twice last year, and my hair is sooo much healthier for it.
 
I think I'm 6 or 7wks post (don't have my calendar In front of me). But I plan on doing something different and relaxing at 12wks post this time around.

@janeemat what conditioner do you use for combing/detangling?

Kenra moisturizing cond. This has been a life saver. It along with Sebastian Penetraitt strengthening and repair cond melts the tangles. No more bandwagons for me.

RarityJewel: I would wait at least 8 weeks to re-relax and baby the previously relaxed hair on the meantime.

7 weeks post and things are looking good. I will probably relax at week 14 or 16. My Dominican stylist is trying to encourage me to go natural because she is. I dont think I'm ready just yet. But I am blessed to have a Dominican stylist that is very comfortable with natural hair. She hates relaxers. Lol!
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

I am nearly 5 months post. I tried to arrange an appointment with a girl back in December but I think she won't call me back because I waited till 3 months in October and either she thinks my hair is too difficult or maybe she didn't like all the questions I asked. Either way she hasn't even called me to refuse my business lol. I feel like she broke up with me or something. She did do a great job.

I have no idea when my touch up is. It'll happen when I find someone who doesn't scare me again.

solide I had under-processed ends after my virgin relaxer as well - I chalk it up to the stylist underestimating the amount of time needed for smoothing all of the hair. However, it's way better to be under-processed than over-processed.

I def agree but this stylist didn't go all the way through (probably because I had my hair straight from a blow out 2 weeks prior and assumed I had relaxed ends). I had called for a virgin relaxer though and I told her I was natural for 4+ years.

In the end, I went back yesterday and she corrected it and I still have some texture which I like.

Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

Tomorrow makes 8 weeks. I am not sure if I should relax tomorrow. I have 1 or 2 broken strands when I detangle each day; but my NG is soft and I M&S my ends daily. I have 1-1.25" new growth.

How do you ladies know that its time to get a T/U?
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

You'll know when you start to experience excessive demarcation breakage. It will be more than the norm and almost alarming when you start to see your floor filled with predominantly long broken pieces of hair whenever you comb or detangle.

You will find that most people who stretch their relaxer, try to do a protective style that does not require too much combing however, and keep up with their protein and moisturizing treatments. Try to keep the roots and hair moisturized as best you can. HTH!
 
Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up

11 weeks yesterday. Aiming for 13 or 14. I normally end around 10-12 but I'm trying my hand at stretching a little bit longer. Last time I tried stretching beyond my norm of 10-12 (I stretched to 16 weeks), things didn't fair so well. If the same happens this time, I will keep to 10-12 weeks going forward.

Loving, excessive tangling, breakage and just pure frustration.
 
Relaxed at 12 Weeks post yesterday. I see some growth but I'm unhappy with the way my ends look. Stylist kept saying 'she wants my hair' so she can do some treatments and get it to a healthier state. Didn't think it was that bad. Admittedly it was pretty dry and tangles easily. But she also shampooed 4x to neutralize so I wasn't that surprised. But when I wash my hair myself I am still missing slip. Need to figure that out. And she's too expensive for me to be in her chair every week. That's why she only sees me every 3 months for a relaxer.
