I got my relaxer Saturday!!!

How long should I wait to do a protein treatment...?

Actually, I do mine immediately after rinsing the relaxer. I do a five minute treatment and then neutralize. I say the sooner the better. You want to strengthen the hair after you've broken down the protein. At least that's what I do. Some veterans will come in soon to help I'm sure.

I usually do protein right after. I agree with the above poster.

Do one at your next wash. Are you planning on using hard protein or light protein? You don't want to use hard protein too often.

^^^Agreed, do it at your next wash. I only use a mild protein conditioner (Motions CPR).

Like the other posters above, I do a mid-relaxer protein step.

Use a mild protein as suggested above

Did you do one during the relaxer process? If you did, do a light protein treatment on your next wash day followed by DC. If not do a hard protein treatment and DC.
