What Do You Use To Base Your Scalp

[KhandiB]

Before you Relax??

LOL, It has been 16 weeks since my last relaxer that took
I tried a new relaxer and a new technique in Jan and it didnt take
So Im relaxing tonight (finally my elucence)...
But I have never based my scalp before...
I do the basics like the ears and the forehead etc...

What do you use and how do you apply..

TIA!

I ususally use a hair grease called DAX and I just part my hair and apply it as if I am greasing my scalp. I do it over the whole entire head. HTH

PS: Please do tell how the relaxer works out! I think I wanna try the Elucence for my next relaxer

Back in the days...when my mother would relax my hair she would use either plain ol' vaseline or blue magic grease.

I think anything that is thick enough to coat and protect your scalp and hairline from the relaxer would be good. HTHs

 

[KhandiB]

I will, I will take before and after pics..

My head itchin like crazy right now

 

[KhandiB]

Thanks guys, I was gonna do vaseline, But I was thinking that it would be too thick.

Guess not huh!!

I use Isoplus Tea Tree & Aloe Treatment Anti-Breakage Scalp Remedy. Although it has petrolatum, it has good ingredients like rosemary, sage and coconut oil for the scalp. I think any hair grease or pomade with petrolatum will work. Just make sure you don't use too much base.

Thanks!!! I also use Protecto to coat my hair before relaxing..Maybe I can use that to base.. I just have this feeling the Vaseline wont wash all the way out!

Castor oil is great, i used this for my own retouches and my lil sis.

I used to vasoline and now I use vitale base creme and works very well.

 

[Undefeated Queen]

I use Shea Butter Vaseline.

 

[MizaniMami]

Undefeated,
Where do you get shea butter vaseline at? or do you make it on your own??

 

[Undefeated Queen]

I bought it at Walgreens.

 

[Chromia]

Pro-Styl Pre-Creme.

the night before my relaxer i base my scalp using oil sheen spray.
it's simple and mess-free.
just use a detangling comb to make parts and spray directly on the scalp.
works everytime - usually proclaim or olive oil sheen spray.

 

[CLASSYEBONYGIRL]

I use Family Dollar pure petroleum jelly or DAX petroleum jelly. If don't have any petroleum I use regular hair grease.

 

[tallygirl]

I've used Elucence Protective Barrier Balm. It's good, but the results were just as good when I used Vaseline. As soon as I finish that balm, it's back to Vaseline for me.

I don't mean to get off topic, but what do you ladies put on your hair to protect it from the relaxer, and how close to your roots do you put it?
