Help me so my hair doesn\'t fall out!!!!

I'm taking the big plunge into relaxing next week and I want to make sure I don't ruin myself so I have a couple of questions.

1. I'm doing a virgin relaxer so do I have to be meticulous? is there anything special I should know about relaxing virgin hair?

2. When do I do a protein treatment. I was gonna use aphogee because I have a sample bottle at home but I'm confused as to when...right after I rinse out the relaxer, right after I neutralize, or a few days later?

1. Here are some sites that have helped me:
How To Relax

Relaxer Essentials

Peachtree's Relaxer Instructions

2. You should use the Aphogee after you Neutralize.

Hope That Helps

Do a strand test to determine the proper strength/timing for your hair. Different sections of your hair may need more or less time than others. They could even need different strengths, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. Timing is everything.

I'd do the aphogee after neutralizing or a few days later. Just make sure that you have a very moisturizing conditioner to use afterwards and do NOT comb your hair while this product is on it.

I've read the first and the third and I just finished reading the second one on the other thread you posted! I just really want to make sure I don't do anythign wrong.

Another question: How in the heck do people base their scalps without getting it on their hair? or is that really not a concern?

I have previously had problems basing without getting the product on my hair, that's why I'm going to buy this creme of nature product relaxer basing product with a nozzle sput so I can concentrate just on my scalp.

For me I don't do a protein treatment after my hair is relaxed. I wait one week after a relaxer. The relaxer dries the hair out so for one week all I do is hot oil treatments and use moisturizing conditioners.
