Oh no! I had something similar happen to me with the relaxer eye thing. I now part my hair in 4 section, part small sections, apply my base, then two strand twist each small section. It makes it so much easier to apply and get through my hair quicker.@shortdub78 I finally relaxed today but it was
h-e-double hockey sticks this time. Man relaxer got in my eye from my hair, and it got wet while I was rinsing the other partI just blow dried and threw a wig on
Ironically, it was in 4 sections
So I'm sick and sleepy. I read that as you went out steppin the night before. I was like, mmhmm that's the way to do it, sis. 
Imma have to come and get you and just love on you! You and this hair girl! Lol you go through just as much drama as me relaxer day! That sounded like something I went through awhile ago. That hot bathroom, started sweating which opened up my pores, having to rinse sooner, grabbing the wrong relaxer strength, etc..Ironically, it was in 4 sections
Here's where I think it went wrong:
•I was rushing
•I thought I was gonna run out cause I had so much new growth, so I cheated on my regular relaxer and bought CON Argan Oil but ended up not using it, because I did have enough lol
•I had half container of relaxer (I scoop it out to use)and used alll of the activator when I should have used half.
•This made my hair process super fast. I set the timer for 8 minutes and I barely got through the section before it was time to rinse. Like as soon as I got to the top layer the bottom was ready to rinse. It was probably more like 4 minutes.
•It was hot as hayle in my apartment
•I was already tired from it being so dang hot.
•I forgot to put my glasses back on (facepalm)
•I didn't even deep condition
Some things that did go right:
•I neutralized for a long time
•That popsicle stick method from Lauren Mechelle works pretty good, even with runny relaxer. I only used two.
•Coating top and bottom before I move to the next section is more efficient for me. I forgot who I got this from. I
•I two stepped the day before
•I triple coated my previously relaxed hair. I used the pre conditioner, blue magic grease, and Silkessence conditioner from Dollar Tree
•I airdryed a bit before I blow dried
• I sprayed X21 and my favorite Aphoghee Green Tea and Keratin on before I blow dried. S/o to whomever mentioned the GT&K
•My regular Cool, Hot, Cool, blow dry method made everything a piece of cake lol
I love being loved onImma have to come and get you and just love on you! You and this hair girl! Lol you go through just as much drama as me relaxer day!

) but it was a nice cheap quick treatment. Then i DCed with aussie moist conditioner. Moisturized with NTM which i havent used since being relaxed waay back in like 2009-10. My hair REALLY likes NTM, its so light but deeply moisturizing.So yesterdays touch up went well. I really feel like no scratching, double basing, and using a sprush helps minimize any burning from my lye relaxer. It just takes so darn long. I like the results though. I just did protein treatment with ors replensh pac, first time being relaxed and using that. My natural bair hated it (my natural hair hated everything
@demlew im late and dont belong in here but which store??
It was Neutrogena's site. I just checked and now it's 15%-25% depending on how much u spend.
What you are one of us now? Lol
I was reading this and was like "I've read this before." It took me two seconds to realize you were quoting me
It's been a long day lol
Triple coating is because I'm paranoid and still growing out my shave and it's turned into an unintended asymmetrical haircut lol. Try the Cool-Hot-Cool method too, your hair will appear nice and thick. I never make it to the flat ironing part, cause by that time I'm pooped
I was reading this and was like "I've read this before." It took me two seconds to realize you were quoting me
I'm glad this was helpful for you. I really like the popsicle method because I can apply and work it through at the same time. And I don't have to wash any combs out
Too cute. I have many of those days so I completely understand!
I've only seen it in the Sensitive Scalp Relaxer. I don't think it's sold separately.
The cool-hot-cool is already part of my regimen and I love it - especially on relaxer day. I picked it up from LHCF a couple years ago (before I was even a member) and it is amazing how something so unassuming makes a difference in how your hair looks.
The Foundation Preconditioner by Vitale, can you buy it separately or does it only come with the relaxer?
One last question, being that you shaved your head, does it seem as though your hair grows in much thicker and healthier than normal hair growth?
Depends on what you are looking for. Lye or No Lye?
Can anyone shed some light on how oil weakens a relaxer? I had read that oil has no PH so I was wondering as to how it actually makes its weaker because the relaxer itself will still have the same percentage of lye?
Or is it perhaps because the viscosity is reduced? Or does it in theory work in diluting the relaxer as it is being mixed into an oil- based emulsion?
*any thoughts ladies?
