O.K i'm at week 6 and things are getting a bit thick. I can last 2 or 3 more weeks but I'm afraid to relax my hair!
My story in a nutshell is i had bad stylist who loved to overlap the relaxer and she also overprocesses use fine tooth combs etc. Last relaxer I said that's it I'm done. I joined LHCF got the Cathy Howse book and I'm doing so much better on my own.
But how am I going to get this hair relaxed? I use to do my own relaxers w/ Dark n Lovely no lye. My hair grew and then I thought "Gee, I should let a pro do this and that was the start of my troubles." FF to last year when I decided to go back to relaxing after I had my fro for a while and that is how I ended up w/ the wench I told you about at the beginning of the post. She used Lye relaxer I know that much cuz I know she never mixed it but that is it.
What to do? I'm tempted to do it myself. I know how to and frankly my hair looked better when I use to do it anyway but can I go back to no lye after using lye? Plus I'm scared cuz I know the consequences of one bad relaxer can last a year or two.
I want to go to a hairdresser but I'm afraid of getting a bad relaxer overprocessing and overlapping especially. I'm working too hard and spending too much dough on products to let someone mess it up. I really would beat a b@t$ down if she messed up my hair at this point and I mean it.
Any advice? Someone please, if you've been in the same situation how did you handle it?
