How to Avoid Overlapping Relaxers on Hair

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Liz Muller from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida and today I'm going to teach you how to relax color treated hair.

That is why you have some protector. But try not to overlap on it. You know if it does, you wipe it off with a towel.

You want a thin section so the relaxer would go ahead and penetrate through the hair and take all the way through. Or else you would have hair that is relaxed and hair that is not relaxed. You would have curly wavy hair and some section straight in others. So you want to go ahead and take a nice section like this again and do that there pushing it over. Take another section and do the same. "
