Re: Relaxed Heads: How many weeks post relaxer are you and when is your next touch up
How many weeks post relaxer are you right now?
16
When is your next touch up?
January 2nd, 2012, or at least that's my plan. I don't know if I can stand a 30 week stretch.
What relaxer will you use?
ORS no-lye, regular strength. I may go back to Optimum, though. I used to use that as a teen and I feel it got my hair straighter, and it didn't change my hair color.
Are you going to a salon or will you self-relax?
Self. Well, technically my sister's doing it, but same thing, I guess.
I have a question that hopefully someone can answer. I had cornrows in my hair for a little under a month and I just took them down four days ago. My last two relaxers were more like a texlax than a relaxer so I would like to relax soon. I did a protein and moisture DC today and my hair feels pretty good. How long do you think I should wait until relaxing again?
Just to be on the safe side, I always wait 2-3 days after a wash before getting a relaxer. It gives the pores of the scalp ample time to close, so you reduce the risk of getting any burns.
