THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCHHH to all the ladies who gave the wonderful tips on self relaxing esp londondiva,dontspeakdefeat,southerngirl,hiza,kitchentichian and nurse98 /images/graemlins/kiss.gif /images/graemlins/weird.gif /images/graemlins/kisses.gif as you can tell it went really well /images/graemlins/weird.gif /images/graemlins/king.gif /images/graemlins/party.gif not great, but after everything was done i realized what my mistakes were and i went back to the mirror and practiced my technique and now i think next time will be much better. here's the biggest mistake i made i forgot to comb through the underprocessed parts, which is alot, at least 3 inches. i dont know why it didnt come to me to comb through it /images/graemlins/confused.gif only after everything was said and done did i realize that /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif but i'm still happy. this has been the best relaxing experience i've ever had.i usually lose LOTS and LOTS of hair after relaxers at the hands of hair stylists, i once lost a handful of hair. i still got alot of shedding after my hair was dry and i was combing through it. but nowhere near as much as when other people do it. so i'm veryyyyy verryyyy happy. i didnt pay someone to rip/yank/pull my hair and then cut it off after i tell them not to and then they get an attitude about it.so yay for me /images/graemlins/party2.gifbtw i used the half and half method wich worked GREAT!i secured the part i wasnt working on with a shower cap and clips and when i was rinsing the relaxed part off hardly any water got onto that part.so i just patted that down with a towel and relaxed that part next.okey doke, that's about it. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THE LADIES WHO GAVE THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON SELF RELAXING! /images/graemlins/kiss.gif
