Hello all,
Below are a list of steps to performing a perm - again. Does what listed below make any senee? I hope some of you don't get angry should you see your own words below
Does the procedure below make sense?
Kind Regards.

[*]BASE THE SCALP: Make sure the scalp and hairline all the way around is based heavily. Divide my hair into 4 sections only, these are the same sections what will be relaxed. I base each section in a criss cross pattern making sure I base as much as possible. If you are doing it right and thouroughly it should take about 45-60 minutes
[*]PROTECT HAIR THAT IS TO BE TEXTURIZED - Saturate the hair that is to be permed with S-CURL
[*]PREPARE THE PERM - mix a little olive oil in the perm and whip it in a non-metal bowl. This makes it more smooth and cuts down on smoothing time in the hair
[*]PROTECT ALREADY PROCESSED ENDS - Choices to use: Conditioner plus Olive Oil - OR - Infusium 23 Leave In Treatment plus Cholesterol. Saturate already permed hair with one of the choices listed above
[*]APPLY RELAXER TO THE HAIR - dont forget a strand test
[*]RINSE OUT THE RELAXER - Using Vitale's Revive Positive Conditioner prior to neutralization, helps eliminate all alkaline substances inside the hair shaft and thus prevent breakage problems due to poor neutralizing. Use the neutralizer that turns pink to let you know that the product is still active in the hair. Keep washing the hair until no more pink is seen. The neutralizing shampoo must be in contact with the hair for at ** least 5 minutes ** regardless of how many soapings you do. It takes at least that long for the active ingredients in the neutralizer to penetrate all three layers of the hair shaft and bring the pH of the hair down to normal.
[*]USING ACV - Use Apple Cider Vinegar rinse (with distilled water) to neutralize the perm further - saw this somewhere to supposedly neutralize the affects of the perm A rinse of 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar diluted in 1 to 1 1/2 cups water is also a great and safe way to neutralize the alkalinity of a relaxer.
[*]CLARIFY - After you rinse the neutralizing shampoo you need to soap it briefly with the a clarifying shampoo. This will get all of the residue from the relaxer off of your cuticle.
[*]RECONSTRUCTOR - Put in 2-minute Reconstructor (from Aphogee) - then rinse
[*]CONDITONER - If you are doing your hair in parts, after processing one area (using steps above), put on conditioner and then clip away - after all hair is done, rinse thoroughly
[*]DEEP CONDITIONER - apply a deep conditioner with hair NOT WITH A LOT OF HEAT - but just a warm deep conditioner - also put in a little Aloe vera oil or aloe vera gel in the deep conditioner to smooth burns and promote healing of the scalp.
[*]GOOD RECONSTRUCTOR 5 DAYS LATER - After 5 days, wash hair, condition, apply a good reconstructor, rinse, apply deep conditioner. I would use Aphogee
