So today I just got my hair relaxed after a 10 week stretch. I decided to go to 10 weeks as opposed to 12 because I figure hell what's 2 weeks, plus I was seeing a little more shedding than normal and my roots were screaming for a touch up.
First off, I really love my stylist! She's so amazing! I was SO GLAD to see that by complete coincidence I use the same products that she does. She did the following:
ciao guys!

First off, I really love my stylist! She's so amazing! I was SO GLAD to see that by complete coincidence I use the same products that she does. She did the following:
- Based my scalp and left it on for a few mins
- Applied Designer Touch Relaxer to roots - and DIDNT comb to the ends (that's my girl!)
- Smoothed out just the roots with a comb
- washed out w/ neutralizer 2x and then followed with a regular poo. We were talking about self relaxing and how one should follow with 2 neutralizing rinses then another 1-2 rinses w/ regular poo to ensure the relaxer is completely out. I never thought of that, would only do the neutralizer, but that's her technique. Works for me.
- here's the best part... I asked for a deep condition treatment... Her method... Nexxus Emergencie DC for 15 mins w/ heat FOLLOWED BY Nexxus Humectress DC for 15 mins w/ heat!!! Humectress is my staple moisturizing DC, and I was thinking about using Emergencie, now I WILL!
- apply leave-in... MY OTHER STAPLE Salerm 21 B5!!!
- Dried under hooded dryer to 80% dry then blew out the rest w/ med setting hand dryer
- Flat iron w/ electric ceramic/tourmaline iron
- APPLIED ELASTA QP MANGO BUTTER!! Another of my staples
- Gave me a little bump w/ marcel iron . But she knows how to use them and was quick so I'm not alarmed.
ciao guys!
