It is so nice to be a DIYer. This was my first self-relaxing attempt since 2005 (or 2006, can't quite remember). I think today went really well, whereas in the past it wasn't so wonderful.
I used Mizani BB Regular Strength. (lye) I relaxed in 3 sections per London Diva's picture tutorial. I relaxed, rinsed, used Perphecting Creme Conditioner, and neutralized (as stated in the directions) each section separately. Doing the 3 sections separately really helped me not to feel rushed, so my slowness was not a problem today.
I used a relaxer brush on the two side sections and I used bare hands on the back. I know that's not the greatest practice in the world, but I really needed to be able to feel the new growth since I can't see the back of my head. In the past, I believe wearing gloves has slowed me down.
After I finished neutralizing the 3rd section, I neutralized my entire head one more time then applied the microdroplet conditioner. I don't love this product, but I use it because the directions say so. I am sure another conditioner could be used in its place. In fact, after I rinsed it I used Sitrinillah for about 20 minutes, plastic cap, no heat.
I rollerset my hair on purple and gently combed the curls out and I am wearing it like that for the day. I'll wrap it tonight and wear it as a roller wrap for the next few days.
