Ok, I am about 9weeks post had a hair appointment last week but had to cancel due to I had to work for someone else, so I called my hair stylist three times to make sure she got my message I pleaded with her to call back so I may get my hair relaxed on Thursday, never heard from her, so I stopped trying and begging I am so tired of these crazy people!!!
Oh well, Saturaday I was trying to get up enough nerves to do my own I kept checking the boards still down, so I did it I tried the Vitale no-lye the one you have to activate yourself by mixing the other stuff together. I sat my timer(for 15mins) and applyed it, so far so good I was scared to death and praying please God don't let my hair fall out, before I put it on I applied some hair grease I think I put too much on.
I used my fingers with a tight fitted glove to apply the relaxer trying not to overlap trying only to put it on my new growth which was hard(I think I was just scared) I had too much grease that overlapped on the new growth instead of my scalp. I checked the board one more time before rinsing it out I was trying to remember everything one of members I think it was Sylvan had said about relaxers. Lord behold I did a search on how to self relax she was on that site explaining how to self relax so were others from our board, oh well I waited 15 minutes and rinsed it, make a long story short my hair did not relax straight or even came close to relaxing.
My question is how long do I wait until I get another relaxer?( tried to relax it this past Sat(3/26) I am 10weeks post this week. I have a short spot in the crown area it is itching like crazy today I just washed it and conditioning it with Kerphix could not find my emergecee my hair was looking thin I panic.
How long do I wait before I reapply another relaxer(getting a professional to do it this time). Also any help with trying to get that short spot to grow, I think it has broken off again. Thanks for all your help

. Anyways, I called my stylist and she said it was fine to redo it in 2 weeks. I did it, and my hair was gorgeous, no breaking, damage, over processing whatsoever, so you should be fine at two weeks.
erplexed I tried to self-relax about six years back. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. I think, similar to yourself, I was having a hard time getting in touch with my stylist. That, coupled w/being cheap, prompted me to try to relax on my own. *smh*
