I did a lot of research before I took the chance of putting in my own relaxer. I think last time I did it, I did not get the back of my head good enough and left some relaxer in. I got tired of bending over the sink and I couldn't tell the pink from white after looking at the suds so many times...so I made some changes.
First, I purchased the ORS no-lye relaxer...can I just say I love this relaxer. The best results I have had in a long time. Here is a quick synopsis of what I did:
I mixed 1/4 cup of EVOO in with the relaxer, let it sit fo a few minutes then blended it thoroughly. I outlined my edges with Vaseline and put vaseline on my length, careful not to coat my new growth. I parted my hair in four parts, used clips to hold it back. With each section I 'outlined' with relaxer, then I finger parted and made sure to only cover my new growth (I don't think I was as careful in the past, now I know better). I did that for all 4 sections, smoothing as I went along. I rinsed in the bath tub for maximum water pressure. After a thorough rinse, I applied Aphogee 2-min reconstructor...I let it sit for about 5 minutes, rinsed thoroughly, applied Elasta QP neutralizer, rinsed, more QP neutralizer, let it sit for 5 minutes, rinsed, applied ORS neutralizer that comes in the box, let it sit for a few minutes, rinsed...all white lather. I then applied the replinishing pak...sat under the dryer with a plastic cap for 45 minutes on low heat, rinsed thoroughly, applied Lacio Lacio leave in, and my spray bottle of purified H2O. Roller set my hair, under the dryer for 1 hour, took out the rollers, wrapped my hair, sat under the dryer for about 15 minutes, broke the wrap and my hair is FABU!!! I looks and feels so incredibly healthy, shiny and managable.
I never would have known how to properly self relax had it not been for this board and especially Sistaslick...thanks ladies..my hubby can't stop touching it...
ohh, and I haven't had a relaxer since June 12th or so...so my newgrowth was rediculous, but I have so much more length now, a little past shoulder, I had a lot of breakage in the back and that has filled in so much...I cut down on heat and only use flexi rods and rollers. I flat iron maybe once a week (when I needed a relaxer) with my relaxer I will only roller set...I am loving this forum.
