I use a Mizani Butter blends LYE in super/course for the back of my head because it is super dense. would you believe I still dont get bone straight hair.
For the front of my head I use the same relaxer AND I add a capful of neutral protein filler to 3/4 cup of relaxer. I think the next time I am going to add a T of the protein to the relaxer because I want more texture for the front. I see some wave left but I want more.
My technique for the back:
My technique is this for the back:
I apply the relaxer starting from the crown to about an inch from my nape
When I finish applying the relaxer on my left quad I then start smoothing that quadrant (the 2x's each parted section on the topside and underside
I then smooth the right quadrant (the 2x's)
I apply the relaxer to my nape area and I only smooth 1x for each quadrant. I then go back to the right quad and comb through the NG ONLY and then do the same for the left quad
I rinse as soon as I am done combing through the NG
My technique for the front:
I apply the relaxer from right to left
I start smoothing my left side as soon as I am doing applying the relaxer
I only smooth 1x
I smooth my edges first. I know this is frowned upon by many but it works for me. I tried smoothing last before and it was a disaster.
It looks bone straight as soon as I am done but once I shampoo a week later I see the texture.
