After waiting over an hour this morning for my stylist to show up , then spending 3 hours in the salon, I am finally at the point where I would like to consider doing my own relaxer. This is something that has always intimidated me, but after reading about how many of you are so successful at it, I am truly inspired. Since I just retouched, I have some time to research this, but I would like to get some opinions. Are there some relaxers that are more user friendly than others? And what about the processing time that is in the instructions. Is is accurate, or is there a way to tell when the relaxer is in your hair if it is processed enough or not (i.e. does it "look" straight). I have seen a lot of good things about Silk Elements for first time self-relaxers.
I really feel I can do this for next time, but I definitely want to be prepared. My stylist uses Affirm regular on me, and my hair is very straight. I am mostly 4b, with some 4a at the nape and temples.
