Are these instructions in his book? I have it at home, but I don't remember that.

Its on page 163, here it is:
The Corrective Retouch and Virgin Relaxer
Applying a conditioning lye relaxer over a No-lye relaxer, (which I recommend) is called a corrective retouch. You can expect minimal shedding, but don't be alarmed. Do a treatment following the retouch.
For the corrective relaxer and the virgin relaxer, apply the chemical to the entire length of hair shaft, but remeber timing is still the key. When it is a corrective relaxer, you begin and complete the process the same as any retouch. After smoothing the third time, apply the chemical by hand to the rest of the hair and smooth with your hands for only 3 to 5 minutes. Then begin the rinsing process. The objective here is to simply condition the hair that was previously relaxed with the no-lye relaxer.
With a virgin relaxer, use the same process as with a retouch except the chemical is applied to the entire length of the hair, one quarter section at a time. The smoothing is done with the hands until the hair is totally relaxed.
In every case, completing the service should take 18 to 20 minutes when using a mild, 22 minutes with regular, and 22 to 24 minutes when using a super relaxer.
Timing is everthing- The timing begins with the start of the first application, which is the very moment the chemical comes in contact with the hair, and the time ends with the beginning of the first rinse.

Relaxing color treated hair- Be sure to use a mild relaxer every time, no exceptions. The idea is to protect the color-treated hair, even if the new growth is not completely relaxed as straight as you would like it to be at the end of the process. Be sure to coat the color-treated hair with a styling gel or creme conditioner, to protect that hair before applying the relaxer and be sure you keep the chemical in the area of the new growth. All of this is an absolute must!

Okay that's it word for word.

Thanks pinkskates!
But what if you just wanted to do a corrective NO-Lye relaxer over a no-lye relaxed hair that hasn't been completely relaxed? Does the same instructions apply?

 

[LovelyLionessa]

Thanks Pinkskates, that was so nice of you!

You're welcome guys. SB07, I searched but I haven't found the answer to your question. If I find it I'll post it;as you know Shamboosie is a big advocate of the Conditioning Lye relaxer . But he does give this: Chemical Tip Warning: "When you are relaxing hair that has previously been relaxed with No-Lye Relaxer and the hair was not properly straightened, the no-lye will "lock in" the remaining curl pattern in the hair. When this happens, nothing, not relaxer, Thio, or anything else will be able to break this hair down and remove the curl. The only hair that will become straight is the new growth, the hair closest to the scalp."
Hope this helps you.
