I self-relaxed

[devin]

I self-relaxed my hair on Friday and it came out alright. Eventhough I relaxed in two parts I still have underprocessed partsm, but I guess it just takes practice. I used Vitale and at first I didn't think it worked that well, but after rollersetting and feeling my hair dry, it felt really good and I think I got 1-2" of growth after a month....Yay LHCF! I really appreciate all the information that I have gathered from the ladies here on LHCF and hope to gain much more! Here are some before and after pics.

Congrats! You have beautiful hair!

You did a great job! I wish my first self relaxer had been as good. I was still having nightmares about having less than 1/2 in of hair so I washed it out fast
Congratulations!

Good job!
I've enlisted my mom to help me with my next relaxer so I hope we do a good job.

 

[CinnaMocha]

That is wonderful! I wish I could get the courage to self relax, I am just so worried that I would do a horrible job...BTW your hair is looking great!

devin are you going to use Vitale again or will you switch. I'm still searching and I've used Vitale in the past also.

 

[sassy mamma]

Wow, beautiful hair!!! I hope I get as much growth as you the next time I relax.

 

[Ebony]

i give you props girl just for doing it !

i can't wait until someone posts their step by step self-relaxing procedure with pics as many of you are pros at posting your steps. i desperately want to start self-relaxing, but i need instructions & photos to follow, mind you i relax the hair of a few friends from time to time.

 

[devin]

no i am not going to use it again. i will use affirm for my next relaxer.

thanks! yeah i used to relax my hair, but when i came to this forum realized that i was relaxing all wrong! so i just decided to go for it, b/c i know that i wouldn't get the proper relaxer at the salon...it would be left on too long and not rinsed out well enough. i know what you mean by step by step instructions. i wish we had a video forum so we can see how to do it. i am a visual person also.

Did you like the Vitale?

 

[devin]

it was okay. i found that it took longer than the time suggested to get my hair straight. it did leave my hair shiny and soft.

Did you like the Vitale?

 

[jasmin]

I feel the same way.
