Self Relaxing???

Due to my fear of salon relaxing I began to look into self relaxing.
Which relaxer did I use 
Silk elements shea butter relaxer ( this is really  good)
It is the comparison of Mizani relaxer

Prepping my scalp with: olive oil

How to prevent overprocessing:
After years of learning I have learnt about the method of protection of previously relaxer hair. By placing oils on the previously relaxer hair you can protect your hair.

Prep
1. Prep your hair by placing oil the night before the relaxer
2. Place oil on scalp and then to the ends

Relaxing process:
Make sure to wear a glove 
1. Using a precision brush place relaxer on needed relaxed hair staying away from ends and previously relaxed hair and scalp.

2. Using the back of comb or finger smooth and leave on as long as your hair needs to straighten.

A deep burning sensation does not mean relaxer is working any better wash it out to prevent scabs on scalp.

Neutralizing:
Make sure you invest in a good neutralizing shampoo which means getting the hair back to proper PH level leave shampoo on for 5 minutes to make sure of proper neutralization

Putting back protein and keratin in the hair
I used a joico k-pak reconstructor to place protein back in the hair that was lost during the relaxer
then after going in with a deep conditioner

Leave ins I use
Roux 619 leave in treatment
Aphogee Keratin Green tea reconstructor

Blow drying
Chi silk infusion

Flat iron: Biosilk flat iron at 360 degrees
