Who Does Your Relaxer / Texturizer?

[PinkPeony]

I do it myself since about a year and I love it

 

[Spongie Bloom]

i do mine n do it well..im just too scared to go to a salon for anything except braids to be honest i always feel like ill get out bald headed i needs a good hair stylist for sure

 

[ChocalateDiva]

I do my own unless the ng is toooooooooooo thick.

Can I use my regular relaxer in such a way so that I don't have to get it so straight. I have never had long natural hair, and I haven't had a relaxer since March, so now I have alot of new growth. Relaxers tend to break down the hair so much that it looks lifeless. I just want to relax some of the natural curl. I don't know what to do.

 

[Nonpareil]

Me. I texturize (now texlax) with S-Curl.

 

[tuffCOOKiE]

The last application, I applied it myself for the first time. It was so liberating!! It came out pretty good w no under/overprocessed parts unfortunately, I should have been more careful and covered my relaxed hair with something. Things to remember next time.

1. base scalp w oil day before
2. next day, base scalp with vaseline
3. use a color indicating neutralizer (who makes one w no COLOR INDICATOR!!!.. the one I buy..)
4. Protein treatment afterwards!!

I don't trust anyone else to do it. I'm the only one who doesn't overlap when I do a touch up.

 

[Puddles]

Been doing it myself for over 10+ years.

 

[wheezy807]

My stylist does my relaxer.

 

[zanna]

I do it myself

 

[LivingDoll]

I do my own as well. I'm the only one who can do it the way I like it...barely relaxed!

 

[tbaby_8]

I work at a salon so a co-worker does mine, but after this last one, I think I will either have only one of my co-workers or a stylist friend of mine put my relaxers in.

I tried DIY and I wound up underprocessing my hair and it broke in that spot. I may try it again. I don't know.

 

[shugababe192]

I'm too scared to do it myself! I feel that I will miss spots or not leave it in long enough. Or not wash it out completely. Basically, I am shook! That is the only thing that I do not do myself since I have taken control of my hair care. But I trust my stylist to do it. He actually listens to his clients!

 

[flyygirlll2]

my mother does my touch ups and basically is the one who has been
doing my hair for years since she is a hairdresser. i've only gone to a salon
like 3 or 4 times. i find it hard to just let anyone do my hair.

 

[blue_flower]

I do my own texturizer.

 

[ladylina]

My cousin Tricie does mine.

 

[vestaluv1]

Did mine for 10 years but switching to a salon.

 

[hairdrama:{]

I do it myself and no regrets.

 

[TriniStarr]

I do my relaxers myself.

 

[*fabulosity*]

I am of the belief that only those with licenses should be applying chemicals to my head. So hence, my vote for the salon.

 

[brucebettye]

I do it myself & I love it!!!!!!!! Saves me money!!!!!!!!

 

[prospurr4]

I am a complete DIYer, including relaxers.

 

[locabouthair]

me I highly doubt I'll let a stylist apply a relaxer in my head ever

 

[LovinLea]

my mom does mine. she doesn't mind following the 100 steps i ask her to do.

 

[*Muffin*]

I voted a family member (since my grandmother or my mother do my touch-ups most of the time) I occasionally do it myself, but I never get it through as thoroughly as they do.

 

[Toy]

I do my own relaxer.

 

[Aggie]

I have been doing my own relaxer now for over a year. It saves me money and i actually enjoy doing them myself. I also feel that my stylist does not neutralize my hair thoroughly enough for me which is another great reason why I prefer to do them myself.

 

[Mz DEE DEE]

my mom. I had someone else do it once and it was a disaster

 

[Encore]

My own now ...the stylist every once in a while. I will go next week in time for my birthday and the last good relaxer till june 09

 

[sunnieb]

I go to the salon every 12 weeks. My stylist doesn't overlap, rinses/neutralizes properly, and knows the difference between dusting and trims.
