The result was far better than any relax that I've had done at a professional salon. Why? BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS! Reading through the dos and don'ts section on the Organic Root Stimulator Pack made me realise why I'd always come home with some burn or other on my scalp after a relax.
1. Not mixing in the activator thoroughly enough makes a faulty mixture likely to scald you
2. Combing the hair while cream is intact
3. Not timing the relax with a timer and just thumbsucking a relax time
4. Placing relaxer on the hairline first - the most sensitive part of everyone's scalp
5. Placing cream directly onto scalp and relaxing previously processed hair instead of new growth only
These are common mistakes yet the major causes of hair loss and breakage. Doing it myself, adhering to all the instructions. I came out without a single burn and relaxed hair.
Easy. So much cheaper. I will not get into the political debate on black hair straightening. I'll leave that to Chris Rock. I do it because it makes life simpler. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
