So tonight I planned to texlax my new growth by myself
I divided my hair into 4 sections, the sectioned the front and back into 13 small slices each, held by duck bill clips. I covered the back half with a stocking cap while I did the front. I based my scalp and I used Affirm mild. I applied with a perm brush and went over it with the end of a rat tail comb. I went over time but luckily my hair didn't over process. I planned to leave it on 8 minutes, it ended being 11 minutes. I do the back half.
So far so good.
I used Isoplus Neutralizing shampoo and Apple Cider Vinegar rinse, to rinse and neutralize the relaxer. The ACV rinse made my hair rough! And then it started to tangle! It was a good neutralizer because the Isoplus was taking forever but it was terrible.
Afterwards I shampooed with Burts Bees. Right now I have burt's Bees conditioner, Organix shea butter conditioner, and Megatek in my head under a heat cap. I detangled with the conditioner for 45 minutes and still lost some hair.
What did I do wrong? Does anyone have suggestions for a different neutralizer?
