Relaxing in Sections

Not speaking of relaxing half of one's head at a time in one sitting but rather relaxing the parts of the head where hair grows faster more frequently than the rest. I am considering doing this. The middle and back of my hair grows almost double the speed of my sides, bangs and edges. I am wondering about the effects of relaxing the back half every 8 weeks and the rest every 12 weeks (or something like that). This will hopefully help with the thickness of my sides and edges. Please share your thoughts . . .

I don't know. If you can figure out a method of not getting relaxer on the rest of the hair, then great.

I am one of those people whose hair grows faster in the top than it does on the side.

I was just thinking of parting my hair from ear to ear, and doing it that way (back half every two months, front half every three months.

Just wondering . . .

I relax my hair in sections, and it works fine for me.

Thanks Chellee!! :) I use motions moisture relaxer in mild. My technique is pretty simple, I make a part from ear to ear, I then put the top section in a bun (the section that is not being relaxed). I then proceed to relax the back half of my hair. I work the relaxer thru and rinse out within 10 mins.
