•Preparation: Wear protective gloves and ensure your hair is clean and dry. Do a strand test to determine the appropriate relaxing time.
•Application: Apply the relaxer evenly to small sections of hair, starting from the back and working your way forward. Avoid applying directly to the scalp.
•Processing: Allow the relaxer to process according to the strand test results, checking your hair every few minutes to avoid over-processing.
•Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove all traces of the relaxer.
•Neutralize: Use a neutralizing shampoo to stop the chemical process and restore the natural pH of your hair. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
•Condition: Apply a deep conditioner to replenish moisture and strengthen your hair. Leave in for the recommended time, then rinse thoroughly.
