Leaving relaxer in for more than an hour!?!?

[Oasis]

Yeah, I pretty much used to keep mine on that long too.

It had to be as straight as possible.

Couldn't do it, but a roomate I had in college would leave her relaxer in for over an hour. She said "The relaxer isn't going to do anything, my hair just sits up and laughs at it." Her hair was, possibly 2 inches long, not cut into any style or anything. But she was right, the relaxer did not actually get her hair straight, but I always wonder if the hair becomes crinkly due to the damage, not because the relaxer didn't work. Anyway, she's natural now so it's all water under the bridge.

As for me, regular strength for 15 minutes max, or else I will lose clumps of hair and have bald spots.

That made me cringe.

I would be scared that my scalp would come off when I rinse of the relaxer.

I have seen this at the stylist shop. They don't leave it on an hour but they leave on for more than 15 minutes. My scalp would be on fire.

I think if I sneezed too hard after leaving a relaxer in for an hour, all my hair would just fall out
