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

11 weeks tomorrow. Waiting until at least 13 weeks but haven't decided yet. So far the NG has been very manageable.

Paltas works really well but i haven't used it for about 2 weeks now and i think that's the main reason i'm having tangles, plus i skipped a wash week. Saludable84

@pre_medicalrulz what relaxer do you use?

I always stop and admire your hair :)

I'm considering relaxer again, haven't relaxed in over 2 yrs.

Aww thank you. :yep:
I use Soft & Beautiful but I am probably the only one on earth that uses that old brand. Lol But I ain't Neva switching. lol :lol:

I used Soft & Beautiful in May for a corrective. I've used it on and off for years and never had any issues with it. I'm debating whether I should use Linange in lye next time but the problem is my hair laughs at lye and my scalp cries.. So have to decide.

Not sure if Im stretching or going natural yet, but Im about 26 weeks post. I tried to blow dry and flat iron my hair, but this DC humidity wouldnt let me be great :(

I ended up buying some perm rods and roller setting my hair and Ive been getting lots of compliments! I think I may give up the straight look altogether and just continue to roller set til I decide to relax.

Is there ever a point in your relaxer stretching journey where its too late to relax and one should just cut off the relaxed ends and then relax all unproccessed hair?

That's one of those it depends questions. If you started out with a Halle Berry cut and your hair now reaches your shoulders then yes you're overdue and should probably just cut off the ends. If you started out with longer hair as long as you are able to manage manage the line of demarcation between textures you should be ok if you are using the right products. Relaxing hair safely after a long stretches is not for everyone so be honest with your ability to put the relaxer in or whether you need someone else to do it. There's no shame in taking your big mouth friend with you to salon make sure you get it done how you want.

Forgot to actually answer question. I was 33 weeks post on Monday.

My hair texture is changing and I'm not in the mood to play product junkee trying to figure out what will work anymore. I spent 3 hours doing it on Monday for it to swell up so badly as I got dressed that I ended up pulling it into a ponytail. I know I'm stuck in ponytails for at least 2 weeks but me thinks the relaxer will be coming sooner rather than later. I probably wouldn't have lasted this long if I was aiming for a long stretch I just kind of fell into it due to circumstances.

4 weeks as of yesterday. My next TU will be sometime in September but that's so far away I'm not really worried about the details yet.
 
I really want to get a relaxer...I want straight hair again and I could get a blowout but I know it'll be worth less to do while exercising. It'll just poof up again in a few hours
 
I am about 12 weeks, I think two more weeks and relaxing. I am going to hide my hair for the fall and winter. I want to be APL by my next bday in March.

I am 13 weeks post relaxer and struggling to make 20 weeks. Detangling matted hair is a headache.
