That's right. My mom purchased a Vitale no lye relaxer kit from the local BSS and there was no neutralizing shampoo, just Part A, Part B (to mix) and two conditioners instead of a neutralizing shampoo and conditioner.
No problem right? Only she didnt realize this until after she rinsed the perm from her hair. So she calls me not even realizing the gravitiy of the situation. I promptly inform her that she need to neutralize and neutralize fast or she might not have much hair the next day.
She didn't have any neutralizing shampoo in the house so she had to drive to the store and get whatever relaxer kit they had. She couldn't go back to the BSS because it's about 15 min away (she lives in a rural area). I told her the best thing I could think of to put in her hair while she did all this:
I told her to douse her hair in vinegar. She did that and ran immediately to the store. I then told her to use the entire bottle of neutralizing shampoo and to leave each lather in for at least 5 min each time.
She called the next day to say that here hair was fine. She noticed slightly more shedding than usual but nothing significant.
That was scary!!
