Several years ago I went natural and it took 1 year to grow the relaxer completely off. My hair is relaxed again but it was during that process that I discovered that my hair will not fall out if I go past 6 weeks. Each time I get a relaxer now I cringe because I know it damages my hair. I am deciding that I want to go longer to keep my hair healthy and reading this blog helps me to decide. I am 63 and over the past 5 years have finally learned how to maintain my hair at home and now it's longer than it has ever been. My goal now is to go waist length just for the heck of it. My key has been to stay away from heat and hair brushes. I roller-set, wrap and try to keep it conditioned and moisturized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7181364514532696040.post-20727001786694804912014-05-06T14:02:47.063-05:002014-05-06T14:02:47.063-05:00Great Article, the last time I relaxed was about S...Great Article, the last time I relaxed was about September last year.

Thanks for the post. I will aim for one more week. Also you said you used the Mizani Butter relaxer. Are there any home relaxers you would recommend?
