Anyone need more than the "allotted relaxer time"?

[C@ssandr@]

I use Mizani regular and since I've been using it (salon or at home) I noticed that my hair doesn't come close to straight unless I add 10+ minutes to the processing time...including smoothing. I'm currently a texlaxed 4a/b. I noticed that even if i go up a strength that it wouldn't give me enough time to get through the whole process.


Anybody else who uses a few extra minutes?

I've noticed in the past that i should have left it in a bit longer, even though i've used extra strength relaxer, but most people say it's not the strength it's the technique and the smoothing that you need to pay extra time too.

We'll see. I'll look into technique and see if that helps.
Thanks.
