how do you know you're hair is underprocessed?

[preciousstone]

okay,
so i relaxed on Friday mostly my hair looks bone straight and some of it is still kinda stuck to my head. I moisturized from root to tip earlier with hawaiin siliky 14 in 1.. (smthg new am trying).. So I was just looking at some of my strands. It looks like the part closer to the scalp in certain parts look fatter than the ends.. does that mean my hair is underprocessed or dry or whatever else? I also noticed a little shedding.. is that normal after a relaxer?
TIA

Underprocessed just means when you're going for a bone straight relaxed result, instead of your NG being straight and flat, it still retains some texture. Some women underprocess on purpose and that's called texlaxed. When you detangle whether it's freshly relaxed or wet from washing some shedding should be expected. It's the amount, however, that should be an issue.

Ooooh, girl! I thought you said you relaxed from root to tip. I was about to freak out.

Sorry, carry on...

I knew when i waited a year and got my hair relax and it look good.but when i wash it it was like waves in it i had to have it done over thank GOD it came out right the second time that underprocessed made me lose some hair so i left it alone until 4 weeks
