On Friday I went to a salon and got my hair relaxed. I decided to go bone straight on Wednesday and went to the salon on Friday. First off I researched high and low to make sure that I went to a stylist that knew how to take care of hair.
So, I went to the salon and on the door I saw stickers that said Keracare, Mizani, and Dudley certified salon. That definitely made me feel much more relaxed because those are some of the most comanly used names I see on this board. So as soon as I sat down the receptionist asked me who I came to see, she told the stylist I was there, and they immediately got me started (no wait!).
First they "greased" my scalp (it wasn't grease, looked like vaseline, but I'm not sure what it was. I say greased because they went through my hair like my momma used to do when she greased it when I was young! Anyway, then she applied the relaxer to the length of my hair and then she went back through and applied it to my scalp. Then she took a comb and smoothed it through my hair (small section at a time) stopping the comb wherever it decided to stop. Then she let it sit for about 7 min and the other stylists in the area kept checking with me asking me if I was okay, did I feel it burning, etc. I took that time to look at the other clients hair as well as the stylists (everyone had healthy full hair).
Everyone seemed very caring and concerned. Then she came back (she went to style another client in those minutes). She proceeded to wash my hair several times (shampoo, condition, neutralize, etc), followed by a protein reconstructor that she let sit while she finished the other client. She wahsed it out and then put a towel on my head, had me sit and air dry until it was about 80% dry. Then she blow-dried it straight and cut off any dead ends and then she cut it into a style (left it up to her). The style ended up great (it frames my face!), she bumped my ends with an HYI and that was that.
Oh, I forgot she put two products in my hair before blow-drying and then another product before flat ironing, and then one more after flat ironing (applied to ends only). Do not know specifically what they were, but they were Keracare.
The whole time she was telling me how healthy my hair was, asked me what I was doing, telling me to keep it up! I HAVE to thank everyone on this forum because I know my hair health is because of you guys. Its bouncy (which i think is volume), the color is awesome (people thought it was dyed) and it is ubber thick!
O and she used Affirm Fiberguard Sensitive Scalp Relaxer (she said she didn't want to take a chance on my burning easily), I ended up with not a single burn and no underprocessed hair! Thanks guys!
