Do you smooth your hair when relaxing it?

[blackbarbietea]

I relax my hair, comb through and smooth and I come out with texlaxed hair. Its irritating because I always have to do a corrective relaxer

If u want it straight go back and smooth three to four times....
Got this tip from liz muller on youtube.

Before smoothing my head that many times i was always underprocessed...

Oh yeah I saw that. I like how straight I am. Its easier to stretch with how much texture I have.

 

[BraunSugar]

I used to. The instructions said to. It's no more damaging than not smoothing. The only difference is less texture or straighter hair.

I answered Yeah.

I use my Fingers/Sprush/Applicator Brush or whatever is closest to me, but I still end up a bit underprocessed.

Either by not leaving it on long enough or not smoothing enough.erplexed

I promised myself I would have this process down before the End of the Year and I have 2 Relaxers left to perfect my technique.

Thanks. This might be what I've been lacking in my Technique

Nice Thread OP!

My last Relaxer 7/1 was Underprocessed due to "Lack of Smoothing" So this Thread is right on time.

No problem!

I smooth because my hair is resistant.

 

[Toy]

Yes,If i dont it will be underprocessed.

 

[LittleLuxe]

Took me a long time ( and mentallylly cussing out what I thought were incompetent hair stylists) to realize my hair is resistant and it takes 1. Maximum time 2. Lots of smoothing 3. Maybe a bit of comb to get my texture how I like.'

Maybe cause I'm so used to my texture but I can't picture not smoothing producing anything but a loose wave/textured look. So yeah...smooth if you want it straight.

I've come to realize that I have resistant hair. When I do my TU in a few weeks I will comb through this time cuz I wanna be straighter. Right now I can't have straight hair without crazy heat or a rollerset, which I have yet to master. Do you ladies use a rat tail comb to smooth? What do you use?

I'm working on getting rid of texlaxed hair. I really smoothed through with my last relaxer & it came out much straighter. With my next one, I'll probably try smoothing over and over to get my hair back bone straight.

 

[RossBoss]

I thought everybody smoothed. My stylists smooths my whole head MULTIPLE times and it comes out bone straight. I just got a touch up yesterday and she smoothed it and it is a much polished look.

 

[morehairplease]

Smoothing gets it straighter but as long as it's not left on too long it shouldn't cause additional damage.

I smooth with my fingers a bit through my hair because I like it texlaxed. With my clients, I use the teeth to comb through the NG and get it straighter.
