Techniques for Applying Hair Relaxers

Video Transcript

"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. I'm going to go ahead and divide the hair at where I have started. You have to work like I said pretty fast, you must work the hair through now. So the relaxer could go ahead and take and be straight. You want to work this comb through and work it like this. It is very important for you to focus on what is going on here. If you notice she still has wave. This relaxer is not done, you would know when the relaxer is done when you don't see a wave in the hair. That hair still has wave you can continue to proceed to go ahead and comb through. Even though it is touching now the scalp is okay you are working pretty fast. This is the way that I want you to work. I want you to work really fast in sections. In big sections lifting it like that and lifting it, don't try to comb the scalp. Just go like that, up like this and do the same in this area. Make sure that relaxer is nice and straight okay. By making it straight, you have to work it through. You cannot leave the client just sitting there. I do not believe in that but you know some people do. That is okay I prefer to work it through to make sure that I have straightened up the curls. "
