Well I did it

[GodsPromises]

Thursday night after reading so many helpful post I can say taht I successfully relaxed my hair, it is straight,but not bone straight. The last couple of times that I tried I underprocessed it being too concerned about overprocessing it.

This time I took the time to base my scalp and edges and I took my time. I used PCJ relaxer and it came out very nicely and my ends are not frizzy and I don't have any breakage. Any relaxing I did a deep conditioner with a little heat and wet set my hair and air dried.

Now if only I could just learn how to wrap and trim my own hair I would be alright.

Thanks ladies for all of your help.

Congrats Raquel! Mine was a disaster...I don't think self-relaxing is for me

I'll try one more time after my braids before I give up though...

Yay! I'm fixing to self relax with the lye version of this relaxer next week. I hope it all works out for me too.

It was scary wasn't it. You are braver than me. I had to stop because I kept overprocessing my already fine limp hair
