I had asked your wonderful ladies last week if I should try to do my own relaxers or if I should ask my girlfriend who does her own relaxers to do my. I decided to ask her if she could do it yesterday and she said yes. Well yesterday around 5 I hadn't heard from her so I called cell phone and left a message. As of the moment I haven't heard from her. So around 6 I decided to do it myself. I had tried to self relax before a couuple of years ago and my hair always looked a hot mess so I stop,however money is tight right now.

So anyways I came on here and first researched relaxers. After reading I decided on ORS Olive Oil; then I studied LondonDiva's tutorial and went to work. I did the back first and then instead of making the front two parts I relaxed the front as one section.

After relaxing, I rollerset my hair, set under the dryer and then oil my scalp and pin curled my hair. I think that it came out very nicely.

Here are pictures:

Im very happy for you!:) I really, really want to self-relax so bad. I went and got a relaxer yesterday and now I think Im over-processed cuz my hair feels like straw:( Next time, Im gonna try and self-relax, too.
 
CONGRADULATIONS:)

I believe in faith!
Sooo next time u will do even better job, its only gets BETTER WITH TIME.
 
I SO want to do this but I'm scurred. I'm tired of shelling out $$ and getting burned almost EVERY time......:
Please keep us posted on your future plans to self relax.
 
I think that I will continue to self relax pending how my hair looks after a couple of washes.

The last few times I tried it, it didn't even look like I had put anything on my hair so I must say at least this time it looks straight and healthy.
 
Congrats, i did mine yesterday exactly how you described! Keep doing it if you like it, you'll be richer in the end! Plus its on your terms and your time!
 
You did a great job. I'd like to learn how to do my own texturizers. I'm still natural now. I want to be salon and kink free.

Stylists are great, but they often want to do what they want to do on your hair.
