Bree are you including smoothing time?
I ordered Affirm Mild-lye and will be using it this weekend. My hair is underprocessed so I think I may sit around with it in my head for a little while. I really don't want to be underprocessed again. Sometimes the hairdressers are in a rush to wash it out, but I must make sure that I am fully relaxed before I rinse out the relaxer.

yup, including smoothing time.i'll be doing the half and half so it should be easier spending all my time working with one section. my hair's underprocessed too. maybe i should have gotten the normal.pleaseeeeee lemme know how it turns out when you've relaxed.

I would let them take thier time and really smooth the relaxer and then let it sit for a little while. Even if the whole process takes 35-40 minutes. I've done this before with a mild relaxer to ensure that I am not underprocessed. I will def. let you know how it turns out though. Sometimes its kinda hard to tell,
then one week after you wash your hair you notice that you are underprocessed

YES!!!!!!!!! that is exactly what keeps happening to me. i get relaxed and everything looks fine. then a week later i wash and airdry, i see curls and waves everywhere. it's driving me crazy.
