My stylist says that my hair has been underprocessed and that I need to let her give me a good Mizani relaxer. I relaxed on 8/2/06 and she wants to re-relax in the next week or so. What do you ladies think?

(I relaxed with Profectiv Theraputic, but it was burning my scalp so much I washed it out after 15 minutes.)

I would wait the normal 6-8 weeks because doing a relaxer that close with definitely kill the hair.  One thing I used during the first part of my transition was soft and beautiful extend a perm. It helped keep my new growth manageable.

Not it helps in straightening your new growth without applying the relaxer to the new growth. It uses shampoo, conditioner, and a thermal protectant; three steps. I used it, it worked ok with a flat iron, but I know it works its best with a hot comb. Here is some info http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100726&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod1083819

I'm no stylist but experience has taught me that it would be a bad idea #1 to process again in such a short space of time and #2 to change the relaxer that you used initially.
 
If you want dry brittle and lifeless hair that will do it. everyone is different and maybe it may not hurt, but i say wait.
 
She should have salon products to give you to help you while you wait the recommended time frame before processing again.
 
And above all. Get a second opinion from another stylist.
