Hello there!
I got my first relaxer on all natural hair for my birthday which was May 1st and it so happened to be Phyto II. My hair didn't get bone straight but that because I didnt want it bone straight I have fine hair and all in all it took approx. 10-12 mins applying and smoothing. I rollerset my hair and sat under the dryer when I was good and dry it seemed like the thickness didnt go anywhere but was straight so straight that I thought I relaxed bone straight. My first wash day proved me all wrong curls, curls and more curls popping everywhere, no hair on my head was straight (except my the baby hair on my nape and crown, and sideburns were straight even wet)...
Anyway steps that I took to apply this relaxer is
1. FIRST I got my mommie to do it
I mix the activator and the creme very good add the oil and let it sit for about 5 mins (per instructions)
2. Apply relaxer moving at a quick and steady pace, apply to the roots and when done go back and smooth it to the ends (apply more creme to the ends because the more creme the straighter and the quicker your hair gets, w/ phyto being that I soon will rinse out my hair i apply a good amount to my ends for the reminder 5 mins)
3. Rinse out all the relaxer. ALL. Then, I applied Duo Tex, let that sit for 5 mins... RINSE.
4. Apply my neutralizer POO i bought the ISOPLUS because I was too scared the one that came w/ the Phyto was going to run out. I washed my hair w/ this poo 3x and one last poo, i let it sit for a few and rinse
5. Again wash my hair but w/ reg poo I use creme of nature for fine and limp hair
6. I did conditioning treatment when I was done shampooing, with moisturizing conditioner mixed w/ PC conditioner and silk ion (sallys')
7. Rinse. Apply leavins and Alma oil. Rollerset. Sat under dryer
Thats all folks.
