Since I've been taking better care of my hair and watching it (daily, for the last 5 weeks), I've noticed several patches of hair that look underprocessed in the middle (wavy/puffy/ frizzy). I suspect it's from using Motions Herbals relaxer for 3 touch-ups in a row... So I need to do a corrective relaxer the next time I relax at 12 weeks. The problem is, I can't even REMEMBER the last time I put relaxer on any part of my hair except the NEW GROWTH and I'm SO afraid to correct the underprocessed parts.
I should probably go to a salon to have it done, but I don't trust them to be careful about it. Most of these places around here (even the person I've occasionally gone to) treat you like a part in an assembly line. They hear me say "corrective" and they'll automatically slap that stuff all over my whole head and hair and snatch through it with a rat tail comb, then claim it's "dead hair" all over their gloves and clumped in the comb! I have 4a/4b, APL hair. But it is a bit see-thru b/c I have short parts that are growing out on my temples/edges and middle of my head (they are only about 3.5 inches long), and they look underprocessed too.
How do I give myself a corrective relaxer?
Which relaxer is best to use?
