Tomorrow is relaxer day! I’m more excited than a kid who found her hidden Christmas gifts and knows exactly what she’s getting.
To prep for my relaxer, I saturated my cornrow with sta sof fro and jojoba oil. Then I spent 2 hours gently removing the cornrow. My hair feel soft and moisturized, except the perimeter feels a little dry. So I’ll have to be more diligent about moisturizing my hairline the next time I do a weave/wig protective style.
I gently detangled with my fingers to remove the shed hair, but I don’t want to irritate my scalp too much so I’ll let my stylist thoroughly detangle before she does the relaxer. My hair is now 18 weeks post and I’m hoping to be at armpit length with this relaxer.
My flight leaves at 6:30am tomorrow morning and I fly back at 9pm tomorrow night. I’ll post pics on Instagram, so be sure to follow me to get live updates.
How do you prep for your relaxer?
