This allows me to stretch for as long as I want and have my hair still look like a fresh relaxer!Īnd that is exactly what I am going to teach you in this course! To keep my hair straight at four, five, and six months I had to silk press my roots.
The only problem with stretching your relaxer is that the new growth can be unruly and downright disrespectful as it continues to grow. I encourage all of my clients to go four months (16 weeks) before getting a relaxer since that is how long it takes to get two inches of new growth.

At only six weeks you don't have even a full inch of new growth, which means that if you consistently relax your hair every six weeks, you will end up with over processed and damaged hair which is identified by: With this calculation it would take four months to grow two inches of hair. The average person's hair grows at a rate of half an inch per month. That's when it clicked for me! Logically, I decided to grow at least two inches of new growth before getting a relaxer! Typically, when getting a relaxer, the average stylist processes 1-2 inches of hair from the root. This led me to developing a process of relaxing that ensured that my new growth was only relaxed one time. I did that for a while but once I actually started doing hair professionally I learned exactly how the hair was being broken down when it got over processed. I didn't want my hair to become damaged and break off so I started stretching to ten weeks. At six weeks I didn't really have much new growth anyway. I was that client that hairstylists always charged extra after they saw my hair because it was so long and super thick.Įven the thought of going past six weeks made my hairstylist frown! As I got older and more interested in hair care and having healthier hair, I realized that getting relaxers every six weeks was probably not a great idea. Before I became a professional hairstylist I used to get my relaxers every six weeks.
And just a few years ago I was just like you.
