When do I start timing hair relaxer?

When I start putting it in, or once its all in?When do I start timing hair relaxer?
I'm sorry, but this question is a red flag. I think you should let a professional put it in. If you do it incorrectly then all your hair can fall out. When do I start timing hair relaxer?
Relaxers can be really tricky and they are a very alkaline substance. I would not do a relaxer at home. If you are concerned about the price, you can go to a cosmetology school to have it done (at least it will be supervised by licensed professionals). It is too easy to damage the hair with a relaxer. Also, if you have had a relaxer before, make sure that you are using the same type (either a hydroxide or a thio), if not the hair can literally melt away.
From the moment it touches your hair. You have to move quickly. If it takes you five minutes to get from the back to the front, remember that the back of your head has been processing 5 minutes longer than the front. Also, more than watching a clock, watch your hair. Once you see that the front has straightened and you part sections and that has also straightened, rinse it out. My hair only takes about 8 minutes vs the 12 on box.
Be fast and put it all on in an EVEN coat, and then you should start to time it once you have it all in you hair. Make sure you use a treatment after as well, because hair relaxer is very bad for your hair. I love the KPACK reconstructor because it helps to fix and add protein to your hair.
good question.





the main impotance to a hair relaxer is to straighten the hair or to curl your hair. either way you want to start timing once you are done half your head (that side + the other side - the amount of time it should be in= around 10 minutes extra!)
when u start applying, so apply fast
