Okay ladies, if you don't have a LHCF Certified stylist I am going to pack her up and mail her to you only of course if you promise to send her back. I have to say that I had the best RELAXER EVER!!! 
yesterday. Now most people would have thought I was crazy for driving to another city, about and hour and a half away but I will do just about anything for my hair so I just considered it a mini road trip.
Well went I got there I was greeted by a beautiful, tall lady with long her herself(she won't amit to this but her hair is long and it is not that thin
) She was so nice and bubbly and we quickly realized that we are very much alike. I was at the 9 week mark and it was pretty rough in there but she was very gentle and complimented me on my hair. It really felt good to be constructive feedback on what I was doing. I had already oiled my scalp with coconut oil about 2 days before so I was already "based" but she based again and was very through. When she applied to relaxer, I felt NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING. No buring, no tingleing, at all. At the most it just felt a little cool. She used a product to protect my hair over overlapping a chemical residue as well. Another thing that made this relaxer so great is that there was no overlapping. There is a mirror right by her station so I could see my hair the whole time and there was no OVERLAPPING. I don't think this has ever even happened. She timed herself and stuck to the time alotted. As she was doing this we talked about the board, hair tips, life and what not but she still asked me questions like "Are you okay", "how straight to do normally relax your hair", which really made me feel good because she was not just slapping relaxer in my hair, she really wanted to learn what I like so she can make suggestions and she was making sure that I was having a comfortable experience. I dont know how many times people have left me burning
and not even asked me if I was okay, and just told me that it needs to "work". We agreed that bone straight was not the way to go and that maybe I should try going about 80% straight to see if that helped my hair. She rinsed me very quickly and made sure it was all out. She then applied some conditioner and sat me under the dryer for 15mins and the gave me a beautiful rollerset. All the while we talked and laughed the whole time and time flew by. I know we have all had our share of horror stories with stylist and whatnot but the point that I am trying to make is that if you are lucky enough to find one that is on the same journey with you and has been in your position and gone threw their share of setbacks, then you should support them 100%. This is the first time that I actually felt that my hair was in better hands than maybe even my own. So I will be taking the drive to her every 8-9 weeks or more if I have time and she will be the only one allowed to come near my head with a relaxer for as long as I have a NC residence.
