Hi KhandiB,

do you mind telling me the relaxer brand that you use? also, do you have your regime posted anywhere on the forum?

To me, under processed hair is when your relaxer doesn't get your hair to the desired straightness that you were trying to achieve. For example: I used to use Revlon lye regular and I kept it in for the recommended time (can't remember how long it was), but when I washed my hair out, I still had a definite wave pattern. I was going for bone straight hair. Some people use this method to texturize their hair. Instead of leaving the relaxer in for the specified time, they leave it in for a shorter amount which just loosens the pattern a little.

I'm not sure what over processed hair is. I believe it's when you have applied chemicals to your hair so much, that your hair is breaking and in bad condition.

HTH

I have severly underprocessed hair. All the blond hair in my fotki is supposedly relaxed. Over processed will be reall frizzy whil undersprocessed will still have a prminent wave pettern. Let me see if I can post it....

The hair at the bottom is relaxed bone straight, the blond hair in the middle is underprocessed ant the dark hair at the top is natural. I dont have a pic of over processed but as you can see there is a significant amount of texture left in the middle versus the ends.
