Ok, this is weird. I got my hair relaxed on Friday. The lady who relaxed my hair (a new hairdresser I decided to try based on a recommendation of a friend of my cousin's who has butt-length hair) based my scalp really good with this stuff that made my scalp tingle. It actually felt rather good.
But when I got home from the salon, I noticed in the front of my head (by my widow's peak), that approximately 1/4 of an inch or less of my hair felt peach fuzz! Upon closer examination just now, I can see that there is stubble there, it WAS NOT there the day before my relaxer! Does this sound like my hair burned off? I don't know how else this hair came off. This fuzz is in an area where I had scratched the day before. Also, in the nape area, I scratched there the day before, and I have a scab.
What kind of product is this, the tingly stuff? After the relaxer was applied, these areas where I scratched were the only areas that burned, but the rest of my scalp felt fine, just started getting itchy after awhile. The areas that burned wasn't that bad, it wasn't as if these areas felt like they were on fire.
I'm thinking that this tingly stuff is what burned my scalp so much so that it caused the hair in that small area to fall out. Other than that, I was impressed with how she based my scalp really good, used Eluesence (sp?) no-lye, amd neutralized my hair TWICE and rinsed it out really good. The only thing I didn't like was how she sat me under the hair dryer with deep conditioner for only 5 minutes (because I was going to go back under the hair dryer for a roller set.)
What do you guys think?
ETA- I forgot to point out that in the past, even though my scalp has burned during a relaxer, I've never had any hair come out, so that is why I think that tingly stuff the hairdresser used might be the culprit.
