help from Self Relaxers

[Golong]

I have been battling my edges forever and I'm starting win the war. I want to self relax but scared to damage and loose any gain I've made.

So self Relaxers, is there anything precaution you take before relaxing?

I put extra base on my edges and I relax them last.

I coat my previously permed hair with a protectant before relaxing. Porosity control is good for this. Also using silk amino acids provides a barrier. The next time I'll combine porostiy control w/ Chi silk infusion to protect my hair.

I also relax in 2 sections to give myslef(well actually mh Dh more time).

You could also try relaxing them every other relaxer until they are strong again. When I had post partum shedding and my edges thinned out, I didn't relax them every time, just every other touch up. Hope this helps.

good suggestions. I have one more concern.

My hair is really dry and frizzy at the ends also breaking. With out touching my hair, just shaking my head coats the sink with tiny hairs.

Is it safe to relax now or is that a sign I must relax now?

I relaxed them last after I was done doing my whole head. And I only relaxed the front. The nape I will leave for every other time that I relax and do that last as well. Since I am texlaxed and not fully relaxed I dont need my edges to be perfectly straight.

I would definitely wait. That's not normal.
