Thanks for responding. I'm going to purchase the Lady Velvet relaxer. I use to do my own relaxers and had no problem because like you I was only interested in reducing the kink/curl; but when I started getting them professionally done I started having problems. I'm stretching my relaxers and will not be doing another one until October. Before that time I'm going to purchase a 2lb tub of Lady Velvet (mild) because my hair texture is fine but I have soo much volume. May I please make a request Can you put together a tutorial of how you self-relax your hair using conditioner instead of the relaxer itself. I know it probably would be hard using the actual relaxer because you're racing against the clock to get it done, but someone else suggested they would do one using conditioner, and I have yet to see that tutorial. I know you are so thorough with explanations and have lots of pictures, it would just be nice to have something to refer to when you're trying to do something that can be potentially harmful to your hair. I'm still learning the process of how to take care of my hair and want to continue to progress without any setbacks.
