Relaxer Questions

[gradygirl]

Ladies I've decided to get a relaxer but I have a few starter questions.

1.How long does someone need to wait after first relaxer before getting a corrective relaxer?
2.Is there something that I need to do to my hair to help put my hair in the best condition before the relaxer process?
3. What products should I use on relaxed hair for a rollerset that won't leave my hair crunchy and hard?
Thanks

Answer to question #2:

I recommend that you do a protein treatment as your last wash BEFORE your relaxer. Depending on the condition of your hair, it may be just a mild one or a strong one.

Thanks Goldensensation!! How long should I wait after the protein treatment to do the relaxer?

At the very least, 48 hours (gives your scalp a chance to close up) and at the most, 4 days (that's when the treatment loses some of its UMPH). Personally, I normally do it 2 or 3 days afterward.
