To the ladies who stretch relaxers....

[Wishin4BSL]

who's hair won't process straight: What did you do to get it straight again? Ever since I started stretching my relaxers, my hair won't get straight with mild relaxers. Does that mean I need to switch to super? I don't want to switch if I don't have to. Help me ladies! TIA

Are you using the relaxer that you have always used or did you switch to another one?

since you use mild maybe you should try regular before you jump to super. i cant comment on my experience because this is my first time stretching.

Yes, I'm using my same relaxer. It's Revlon Realistic. I guess I'll try the regular formula.

I've noticed this exact same thing. Stretching makes me realize that the only reason my hair was getting straight is because the relaxers were overlapping when i used to do the 6week thing. But now i've just resigned to being texlaxed, i hope its better for my hair...but unfortunately it's making my hair more difficult to comb through
