and it came out great!!
Ladies this is not what I wanted to do. I wanted to find a new hairdresser to do my hair, but I have a serious phobia going on regarding incompetent stylist.
So, I did it myself and I feel so empowered.
I used a Revlon Regular - which I think is kind of harsh relaxer, but maybe not?? When I went to the salon she used a Dudleys mild and got the same results. So, since I left her I've used Revlon. I'm not a big fan of switching relaxers. So, I'll stick with that for now. I didn't use mirrors to apply as they confuse me when trying to part my hair. I did mine by feel which means it touched parts of my scalp. I got one burn which means to me - cut my time down - because I hadn't scratched nor did my head itch.
I put the relaxer on, smoothed the rough areas and then let it sit. My total time from start to finish was 35 min. max. Last time it was 25 and my hair came out so so.
I rinsed and used cholesterol prior to neutralizing. I neutralized three times - the 1st massaged in and rinsed out, 2nd - massaged in, let sit for three minutes, 3rd massaged in, let sit for five minutes. Followed up with Botanoil shampoo. Then I put an Aphogee treatment in my hair. Ladies, I've done this before and I have to tell you that even if you try to avoid your scalp - it burns. After this dried, I went back into the shower, rinsed and then applied Humectress for 30 minutes with heat. I was very pleased with my results.
I put in my leave-in, conditioner and combed. I was suprised that I didn't lose alot of hair. Then I rollerset. This morning I applied oil to my scalp, a moisturizer to my hair and finger combed. This evening I will apply more moisturizer to my hair and pin up.
Saturday I will clarify, condition, rollerset for Sunday and then pin up afterwards for the week.
