Have all tools on hand: In addition to the contents of your relaxer kit, you’ll also need a timer, a comb, one or two mirrors and a couple of old towels.Make sure you gather all your materials before you begin.
Base your scalp: To prevent chemical burns, take your time to apply a base (such as petroleum jelly) all around your hairline and the parts in your scalp.
Work in small sections: Trying to apply relaxer chemicals to big chunks of hair will result in unevenly straightened locks. Use plastic clips to hold sections that you’re not currently working on out of the way.
Work quickly: You’re on a time limit when relaxing, so you need to work carefully, but quickly. Once the chemicals are applied, spend your remaining time smoothing with your fingers
Rinse thoroughly: Before adding the neutralizing shampoo, rinse as much of the relaxer away as possible. Lukewarm water is better than hot, as it won’t irritate your scalp. The more relaxer you rinse away first, the less you’ll have to neutralize.
