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 shine and be soft.
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.
