What is my hair up to?

As of right now, November 2nd 2009, I am 8 weeks post relaxer. My new growth is getting a little bit crazy but I think the only thing that is keeping me from going crazy is that my hair is cornrowed under my homemade half wig. I plan on wearing this wig for 3 more weeks. My hair is loving it because its not being manipulated too much and has a chance to rest and thrive. I am currently debating whether or not to relax @ 12 weeks post or @ 17 weeks post. I'm a bridesmaid and will be walking in a wedding coming up on December 4th, and I have no idea what kind of cute formal hairstyle to wear to a big event like this with 12+ weeks post relaxer hair. Buns are out of the question, and so are braid outs. That gives me no other choice but to relax it. I think i might do some Shirley Temple curls like I did for my birthday. I am really not quite sure yet. I was really determined to stretch for 4 months but due to the wedding, I am unable to do that at this time and will have to stretch at 3 months instead. I am also noticing less hair shedding because I've been taking my iron pills faithfully everyday since September. My doctor called me with great news that my iron levels are normal after many years of it being low. November will be a very busy month for me academically, so I wont be online so often and I also wont have time to mess with my hair so often.

Here is what i plan on doing to my hair for the whole month of November:

Week 1: Wear my half wig, and keep my braids underneath moisturized and sealed. Wash day is Friday.

Week 2: Wear my half wig, and keep my braids underneath moisturized and sealed. Wash day is Friday.

Week 3: Wear my half wig, and keep my braids underneath moisturized and sealed. Wash day is Friday.

Week 4: Wear my hair in a bun for Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving I will be relaxing my hair at the salon.
