It take a long time to train curly thick hair, some would say it's very coarse.
I took a short cut and put a kit on to get the curls out (the ones I don't want).
How to use a Kit to straighten for waves
I use S-curl but other kits are good. Sportin Waves makes a Kit too.
No I don't use it a lot but I use it when I need it. For the most part I use it to help relax my hair becuase it will curl up into naps once I let it grow out in about a month and half. I can brush my hair until the cows come home, it will still roll up because I have thin coarse hair.
1. Don't brush your hair or scratch your scalp the night before if you plan on using a kit.
2. Put S curl relaxer on for only 1/2 or 1/4 of time listed in instructions. You can completely destroy you waves if you leave it on too long! What's to long it depends on your hair texure!
Coarse hair - Longer time
Fine, thin, or straight - shorter time
3.Rinse hair relaxer out very good with warm or hot water.
4. Rinse with a nuetralizing shampoo. It normally comes with the kit but you can also buy a nueralizer by itself. The nuetralizer keeps the kit from turning your hair a slight brownish redish color and it keeps it from straightening your too much.
5. (Important) Apply a moisturizing conditioner to put the moister back in your hair so it will shineand besoft.
6. While hair is still moist, brush it lightly, be carefull not to irratate your scalp after a kit has been applied.
7. Apply your favorite pomade, (I use Sportin Waves in gold can). What kind of pomade does not really matter because your hair is relaxed anyway.
8. Brush (softly!) for about 15 to 30 minutes.
7. Put on du rag, not a wave cap. Spray a little water on du rag to cool your scalp and to soften your hair. Always sleep in your durag.
Your hair will be relaxed for about a month or more depending on hair texture. Do not over relax your hair by leaving the kit on too long because you will look like "Jerome the Pimp" on the Martin Lawrence Show.
