Section the hair into five sec-
tions for control. Subdivide the
back in half. Subdivide the front into
three sections, top and sides. Apply
base (protective cream) to the
entire hairline and ears.
3-4.
Begin at the back top section
or where the hair is the most
resistant. Use 1/4" (.75) horizontal
partings. Apply relaxer 1/2 inch
(1.25 cm) or further away from the
scalp up to the porous ends to one
side of the strand. Do not touch the
scalp with the tail of the comb or
brush while parting. Work from the
top to the bottom of each section.
Then bring each parting down. Com-
plete the back sections using the
same techniques.
Optional
Application methods for a virgin thio relaxer may vary. It may be applied 1/2"
(1.25 cm) from the scalp up to the porous ends, or directly from the scalp to the
ends. Follow manufacturer's directions and your regulating agency for specific
guidelines. And remember, always do a complete hair/scalp analysis prior to
beginning a relaxer service.
