How to Use Dr. Miracle’s No-Lye Relaxer Regular
- Preparation:
- Read the Instructions: Always start by reading the instructions provided with the product, as specific usage directions can vary.
- Conduct a Patch Test: Perform a patch test 48 hours before application to check for allergic reactions.
- Preparation of Hair:
- Wash Hair: Clean your hair with a mild shampoo to remove any buildup. Do not condition your hair right before relaxing, as it can affect the relaxing process.
- Protect the Scalp: Apply a protective barrier (such as petroleum jelly or a protective cream) along your hairline, ears, and nape of the neck to prevent irritation.
- Mixing the Relaxer:
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the relaxing cream and the activator according to the instructions. The relaxer usually comes with a base cream and an activator that need to be combined before application.
- Application:
- Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections.
- Apply the Relaxer: Use an applicator brush to apply the relaxer to your hair, starting from the roots and working towards the ends. Avoid applying the relaxer to your scalp or previously relaxed hair.
- Processing Time:
- Follow Timing Instructions: Leave the relaxer on for the time specified in the instructions. Do not exceed the recommended processing time, as this can cause damage.
- Rinsing and Neutralizing:
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the relaxer out with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
- Apply Neutralizing Shampoo: Use the included neutralizing shampoo to stop the relaxing process and restore the hair’s natural pH balance. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a deep conditioner or moisturizing treatment.
- Post-Relaxer Care:
- Condition Hair: Apply a deep conditioning treatment to help restore moisture and strength to your hair.
- Avoid Heat: Minimize the use of heat styling tools immediately after relaxing.
