* After the application of the relaxer: Usually, you need to wait around 5-20 minutes.
* After the application of the wave booster/S-curl activator: Around 2 minutes is enough time to allow the product to soak in.
Important Considerations:
* Hair Type: Fine or damaged hair will process faster, so shorter times are needed. Coarse or resistant hair might need a bit longer.
* Manufacturer's Instructions: *Always* follow the specific instructions on the S-curl kit you're using. They will have the most accurate timing for their specific formula.
* Strand Test: It's always a good idea to do a strand test before applying the product to your whole head. This will help you determine how long it takes for your hair to process correctly and prevent over-processing.
* Visual Inspection: Pay attention to how your hair looks during the processing time. If it starts to look overly processed (very straight, mushy), rinse immediately, even if the recommended time hasn't passed.
* Professional Advice: If you're unsure, it's always best to consult with a professional stylist experienced in S-curl perms. They can assess your hair type and determine the optimal processing time.
