Well, I have self relaxed for years and with much success. I have switched to Revlon Realistic with Lye and I like it. The first thing that I recommend it to protect your previous relaxed hair with some type of coating. I myself used grease. Some people use a conditioner. But I have to warn you that the grease is hard to get out if you put alot in. I would rather have this then overlapping a relaxer. To make it easier part your hair into 4 parts, get an applicator brush(the bigger the better), and gloves. And just make sure you stay within the given time limit so you dont overprocess. I hope this has helped.
