I hate to be long winded but I have to tell my story. Please offer any advice or knowledge. (Pictures coming soon)
It's been 17 months since I had a full relaxer in my hair per I had been wearing sewn in weave to give my hair a break and allow it to grow. My beautican who would do my sew in would charge me 175.00 every 3-4 months and I would buy Lugo's human wavy hair 235.00 bucks but hair would last and last(Loved it) but time to move on now.
Anywho, I found Salon close to home and for a full relaxer was 80.00 dollars. I was so ready to start taking care of my hair and to actually feel my scalp again.
My appointment was at 10:00 am and she started on my hair at 10:20am so I have to admit she was Fast
Now I had already told myself I was going to straight to the point and ask as many questions as I wanted to since I had so many bad experiences.
Before she even got started I said do you base my scalp and edges and do you apply relaxer to my edges last and she said yes
, Great first start. I did notice she was kind of rough but I put up with it.
She applied the relaxer really fast and let it sit on my head for 15-20 minutes but my ends were underprocessed and she said for me to come back in 3 weeks and she will run the relaxer through on my ends only,,, Hmmm
not sure about this but she said it was no charge
..
After relaxer she rinsed with warm water and I said should the water be a little cooler and she said she wanted to get all the relaxer out so I said,,, OK
erplexed..She began to neutralize 3 times and massaged very well but still a little rough
After she turned the water off I said , Do you need to use a wide tooth comb since my hair is fragile after the braids and she said my hair is fine but I will use a Wide Tooth comb for you..
She ran the conditioner through and placed my hair under a plastic bag and put me under the dryer for 10 min and allowed the conditioner to stay on an additional 20 min just wearing the plastic bag
after dryer stopped.
After that we headed over to the chair so she could cut and before she could even get started I said, I would like to see exactly how much your cutting and she seemed a bit impatient so I said, I am sure you can understand and she did.
Some of my ends were really damaged so I let her cut 1 1/4 inch off
but it's all good.
I told her I don't want my hair to be heavy with oil and that I want it to be bouncy so she combed it back after cutting and placed me under the dryer for 15-20 minutes and then blow dryed my hair.
The ends of my hair were underprocessed. My ends looked like wavy texture but my roots were straight. She said my ends were damaged and eventually will need to be cut( Damnn they always want to cut) but I disagree.. I think with tender loving care my ends will be fine. I'm not sure what kind of flat iron she used (high temp of 450)but it got my ends pretty straight.
Not really sure where I am with length but I am guessing close to APL..
This is what was done if my story was a little confusing.
