Relaxer questions???

[csmoot]

I am trying to stretch. (Not nearly as long as some you ladies) But the last time I stretch I had some rough new growth. I know a little more this time around- thanks to all the ladies on the forum.

One of my questions is- Is it ok to cowash the week you get your perm?

Ok- The last time I got a relaxer - my hairstylist- who is very nice and understanding and patient when I show up with my bucket of products and preepoo all up in my head- she combed through the new growth with the little comb with the close teeth. What method of smoothing my hair should I tell her that does not include that little comb? (BTW- There is a bit of a language barrier. I know some spanish but its mostly in the same vein of Me llamo Celia.)

I am planning on washing my hair 3 days before my relaxer...this is more than enough time for my scalp pores to close up. But by washing it will make my new growth softer and easier to comb out before the relaxer application process. However this is just what works for me
