Essations Regular Strength No Base Relaxer (Licensed Professionals)

Before applying the relaxer, apply 7N1 Positive Charged Conditioner to previously relaxed hair, and base the clients’ hairline, skin and scalp. Part the hair into four equal sections. Carefully review the timing guide on the instructions to determine the appropriate time for application and smoothing. Put on protective gloves, and start the timer.

Start applying the desired Essations Relaxer at the nape of the neck, leaving the hairline until last. Distribute the relaxer generously by making small partings and applying the relaxer quickly and evenly. The relaxer should be placed approximately ¼ inch away from the scalp. Work upward toward the crown. Apply to the front sections. When application is complete, begin smoothing the hair in the same order as the relaxer was originally applied. Smooth with short, firm strokes using the back of the comb or the side of the fingers. Don’t pull or stretch the hair. BE GENTLE. As you near your time limit, check for straightness on a small section of the front crown area. If the hair looks straight and does not return to its original curl pattern when pushed in the direction of the scalp, it is fully relaxed.

When time is up, rinse out all the relaxer with a steady stream of lukewarm water. Check the nape, hairline, and scalp to ensure no traces of the relaxer remain. Apply Essations Neutralizing Cleansing Shampoo to the hair. Work it into a lather, and rinse. Repeat the neutralizing application two more times. Rinse well, and towel blot. Proceed to condition the hair using the Essations 7N1 Positive Charged Conditioner, distributing it generously through the hair. Gently comb through the hair, and let it sit for 5-8 minutes. For a deep conditioning treatment, place a plastic cap on the hair, and put the client under the dryer for 10 minutes. Rinse and proceed to styling.
