My stylist who I only go to for relaxing has moved to Antigua and told me he didnt know when he was coming bck to London. So I had to find someone else to relax my hair and I dont trust stylists anymore because of all the stories Ive read on here. The only two people i trust with my hair are my mum and my stylist (who has gone to Antigua). Soo, I thought ok I'll let mumzie do it seeing as she used to relax my hair b4 and it grew to quite a healthy brastrap length.
And she applies it well, only on the roots and works quite fast so I was like gr8 mum can be retouching my hair for me now. Then, it comes to the combing the relaxer through part. She doesnt do gentle, she yanks the comb through the tangles instead of starting from the bottom and going up and I told her to stop so she was more gentle and I was like ok not too bad. Then she finishes and I got to rinse it out myself. What do I see? Shes applied the relaxer from root to ENDS!!! I was like mum you put it to the ends???!!!! She was like yh. why? I was like ur not supposed to do that or it will overprocess it!!. Then she got angry and was like well you ask me to do it next time then ungrateful.
So I neutralized the hell outta my hair, luckily she combed it to the end at the last minute and I had protected my hair with oil before the relaxer. I did a light protein after neutralizing then deep conditioned and my hair actually turned out great and it still had a lot of body and when wet there was still waves so i was pleased with the results. But i dont remember her putting it to the ends before. maybe its coz my hair was longer then? But this makes me wanna learn how to self relax now.

erplexed Sorry that happened to you. You always can practice with conditioner til you perfect it. I was gonna say maybe next time you could have her put it in and you could work it thru yourself, but i dunno if you want a next time. Or maybe some of the ladies here could recommend a good london stylist. I feel your pain. One of the ladies here is suppose to do a self relaxing dvd (Macherieamour) this summer, so i'll wait til then. Best wishes with whatever you decide.
