Hello everyone! I'm new as a member to this site, but I'm not new to this site. I come by here occasionally to get information on different hair products and other things.  My question is.... How do you prepare your hair for a relaxer touch up to keep from getting chemical burns? I go to a stylist and the relaxer just seems to burn my scalp. So what do you all do to prepare to get your relaxer?

a lye relaxer burns much more than a no-lye relaxer,putting a relaxer on a sweaty scalp can cause burns,a relaxer for sensitive scalps maybe wouldn't burn your scalp

Should I suggest to my stylist for him to use a relaxer for sensitive scalps?

When I had a relaxer, I would base my scalp  with vaseline a few hours before going to the salon.

Yes you should tell your stylist to use a relaxer for sensitive scalps.Vaseline has to be shampooed out because vaseline clogs your scalps pores causing oil folliculitis.Most dandruff is caused a fungus the fungus grows to a large amount in a greasy or oily scalp(infrequent shampoo causes an oily scalp).
