Okay guys I did my FIRST self relaxer…it was exhilarating! So I went to Sistaslick’s fotki and read up on her relaxer articles and did the deed. I think I did good. I…

Parted my hair in 4 sections
Apply Vaseline to my scalp, edges, nape, etc
Applied Tea Tree oil to the length of my hair to avoid overlapping
Mixed relaxer solution w/ 1/4c EVOO
Applied relaxer to each section, then went back and smoothed.
At precisely 20 minutes rinsed relaxed out w/ warm water
After relaxer was completely rinsed out I applied a mild protein treatment (ORS repl. Pack for 5 minutes)
Rinsed it out and proceeded to shampoo w/ the neutralizer. (Did it about 4 times, just to make sure)
Rinsed the neutralizing shampoo out the applied a moisturizing DC, silicon mix. Put on cap and went under my soft bonnet dryer for 20 minutes.
Washed the DC out, rang the water out of my hair
Applied Lacio Lacio, and rollerset. (Oh how I love silicon mix…my hair was like butta and detangling was a breeze) :lick:
Dried w/ my new spaceship dryer! (Omg this thing gets so hot compared to my other soft bonnet, dried in 1 ½ hrs instead of the 2-2 ½ it normally takes.) :yep:

Honestly I don’t know if I would do it again, but I’m proud of myself for trying. Oh and thanx sista-slick for all your helpful tips!:ohwell:



(sorry about the dirty mirror...oh i also included a pic of my true sunbleached hair color..errr)
