I only relax twice a year...every six months. You CAN go without a perm for a very long time...the only deal is that many people simply don't WANT to.

I am hairstylist of 20years and it depends on the person hair, if it thicks and you go a long time such as 10, 15 weeks and beyond you will get a lot of shredding, and it even breaks most of the time.The line of demarcation can be a killer on hair so you have to be very careful. The person life style their climate, and so many other factors come into play with relaxer. 95% of my clients are press and curl. I really do dislike relaxers.
Well I went 2+ years without getting one and I know if I feel the need again I can do it LOL. But for right now I get a touch-up done huhmmmm every other month or season (sorry it all depends on how I feel).
I have two months to go and that will be my first 6 month stretch. I don't straighten my newgrowth I just put my hair in a style when I go to bed that will put tension on my new growth or a style that will flatten it.
Goal:Waistlength Natural Hair!

For some reason it is hard for me to stretch my relaxers because If I go past 8 weeks my hair starts to break off badly. Evertime I comb my hair I see long strands with no white bulb so I think its breakage. Does anyone know what I could do to help me stretch my relaxers without the bad breakage.

I have really coarse, thick hair. The trick is that I don't get it relaxed really straight. Texlaxed, I think they call it. I love it. I love natural hair, but I just couldn't handle the length and thickness of it, so I had my hair done like this so that I could have the kinkyness of it (even if it's not as much) without all the bulk.

loveya4ever, is that you in the pic? If so, your hair is gorgeous. Now I have 3 people on this site to envy: you, Pokahontas, and Phoenix.
I seriously can't wait until MOST black women have long, gorgeous hair.

It's been almost five months for me. Am I shedding? Yes. Am I glad that I'm laying off the chemcials and learning how to work with my hair's texture? Yes. I won't have processed hair forever, so I gotta learn to care for the real stuff now.

Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have.

Straight and dry, IT IS NOW OFFICALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!!! Air-dried "puffy", it looks a little longer than shoulder length.
And can you imagine how much longer it will look when I get it relaxed in another 4 months or so.
I'm going to lose a few centimeters this weekend, because I'm getting a trim. My stylist only "dusts" my hair and doesn't even take a half inch, so I'm lucky!!!
I wish you all could visit my stylist.
