Hello All,
I joined this forum back in 2003 because of my sister, but I'm active now. I recently moved overseas in Aug 06 and because of the constant moving related to my job (military), I am always looking for a new beautician every 2 or 3 years. So far, I've tried two people. The first person was ok. She used some type of liquid product that he said would prevent overlapping. She used designer essentials sensitive scalp and it was ok, but I wasn't thrilled with her. I had a relaxer shipped from the States, Paul Mitchell Regular and I hoped that would work, but it didn't. I tried a different person and she put the relaxer in differently from what I am used to. She placed the relaxer on my hair, but didn't touch the root of the hair. She let it sit for 5 minutes, then she put more relaxer on, but this time she let the relaxer touch the root of hair. She let it sit for 5 more minutes and then she sectioned my hair into four sections and started combing the relaxer through the new growth, but some of the relaxer was half way through my hair and I was at 8 weeks (isn't that called overlapping). Also she didn't section through and smooth the hair. Then when she washed the relaxer out, she said that the Paul Mitchell relaxer was no good because my hair wasn't straight. I hear that she is one of the best beautician's over here, but I'm still looking. Has anyone ever experienced a relaxer like that?
