I'm a pj, so I would use more than one, in fact I always use more than one anything, but that's just me . I just started using salerm again and I like it but I also use S-curl too. It really softens the new growth. I don't know about the other two products that you mentioned though...

I went 9 weeks and 2 days one time. Then this past time I went 7 1/2 weeks. I'm weak and can't possibly stretch that long. I try, I really do. I tell myself 10 weeks and next thing you know, while I'm 7 weeks post, I'm puttin that dang relaxer in my hair. How ya'll go 14+ weeks is BEYOND my comprehension. I gotta stay strong though... I'm gonna relax when I'm 10 weeks post, I really am. I'm 4 weeks right now...

Question: still stretching my perm touch up...9 weeks

Which leave in would you use given this:

Rusk Smoother...Salerm 21....or.... NTM Silk touch leave in Cream??

Would you use more than one at the same time?

So far I have had no hair at all coming out in the comb. I am taking that as a positive sign. I have been conditioning & moisturizing well.  So far I am 9 weeks. Rollersets.  Last night I used ORS Olive Oil lotion.

I do Co washes and/or regular washes and deep conditioning up to 3 or 4 times per week. Then I put olive oil on my hair to keep it moisturized.

 For the last for weeks I've been washing my hair with a mild protien treatments like Motions CPR. But I make sure to add some moisture to it also. Even though the cpr makes my hair real soft I make sure I have enough moisture just in case.

My stretch will 7 months and 3 weeks on Aug. 24. This will be the longest I have ever gone. I don't think I suffered from major breakage, but I will see how much length I retained when I get my relaxer next wednesday.

So far 12 weeks was the longest I've gone and I did not experience breakage.  Well maybe a few split ends, but nothing serious.  Right now, I'm going on 10 weeks and I do not plan on getting a perm at all.

I've stretched my relaxer touch-ups for 24 weeks (6months), each time I've done so I gained length and never experienced any breakage. As for the safest time period to stretch it depends on what your hair can handle and how strong & healthy it is to begin with.

I think 14 weeks was the longest for me. That was this last time and my new growth was really soft and I could've went a little longer.

My longest stretch was for 12 wks which was too long for me! I gained length but, I started to experience lots of breakage and no amount of moisturizing was helping. I learned that anywhere from 8-10 wks I'm good. Anything after that is too long for me.

What' s the longest you've been able to stretch your perm touch up? What's the "safest" time period to go with out breakage?
