Any irritation of your scalp will burn when the relaxer is applied and shampooing your hair could leave tiny micro-abrasions on your scalp. You can still comb your hair, just make sure not to comb too close to your scalp. Relaxer is a powerful chemical that can cause damage to your hair if you don’t use it right. The instructions will have specific application methods and treatment times so that you don’t damage your hair. Consider going to a professional instead of doing it yourself. Wear a pair of rubber gloves to protect your skin from the caustic relaxer chemicals. Pour the chemicals together in the cup that’s provided until it’s well mixed and turns into a white paste. Section off hair in the back of your head wide-toothed comb. Start at the ends of your hair and move your way to your roots and edges. Once you have full coverage over that section of hair, take another section and repeat the process until you've applied the relaxer to all of your hair.  You may want to have someone help apply the relaxer to your hair. Your body heat near your edges will make the relaxer work quicker, so don’t apply the relaxer to your roots or edges first or your hair will get overly relaxed or damaged. The instructions should tell you the exact time you should leave the relaxer in your hair. If you notice any extreme burning or irritation, wash the relaxer out of your hair with clarifying shampoo. If your relaxer came with shampoo, use the one that came in the package. If not, then you need to use a neutralizing shampoo because it’s the only kind that will fully wash the relaxer out. Once you get out of the shower, comb your hair and it should be straight!  The relaxer should not stay in your hair for more than 10-15 minutes. On average, relaxer will keep your hair straight for 6-8 weeks. Follow up with conditioner and rinse it out with cold water.
