Self Relaxers! What sort of mirror do you use?

[alexstin]

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to see the back of my head well? What sort of mirror are you using? 3way, door length, etc. Also, how are you setting it up to get the back of your head?

Thanks!

I use the bathroom mirror. Since I have been doing it for a while, I no longer need a mirror for the back. I just feel it out.

I use a door length mirror and I position it so I can see my medicine cabinet mirror and wall mirror. I basically made my own three way mirror. I can see my hair from all angles this way.

Me too. I rely on a "sense" of where new growth is and my fingertips make the part and so I can just feel where to apply relaxer.

I whip through my applications.

This is why I use my fingers to part instead of a comb or fishtail. I want to feel where everything is on my head.

Mirrors would slow me down drastically.

I used the bathroom medicine cabinet mirror...and attached a smaller mirror to my bathroom door so I could see the back of my head.

i've never self-relaxed nor do i recommend it. have a friend apply the relaxer and then take it from there.

Thanks guys! I know I'm not comfortable enough to NOT look so I'm going to have to figure out what mirror setup will work best.
