RELAXER 1ST Time Flashcards
Relaxer Applications
STEP 1
Create standard segments with a desired style part
STEP 2
Outline all four segments, except the hairline
STEP 3
Start on the dominant side in the back segment. If right handed, work clockwise around the head shape. If left handed, work counterclockwise.
STEP 4
Work on short to medium -length from the crown to the nape and medium length to long hair from the nape to the crown.
STEP 5
Use 1/4 inch horizontal sections; apply to both sides (Section size may vary based on density)
STEP 6
Apply the relaxer one inch from the base to, but not through, the ends
STEP 7
Manipulate each section after the relaxer is applied.
STEP 8
Complete the relaxer application to all segments.
STEP 9
During the additional manipulations, work the product toward the base. You may need to apply additional product at the base.
STEP 10
Apply the product to the hairline and begin the manipulations based on the porosity and elasticity of the hair.
STEP 11
Continue to manipulate the segments with your fingers; progress to the comb until the desired straightness is achieved.
