Safe Luxury

Is it safe to use a professional "lye" relaxer at home?

I am tired of paying $65+ to get my hair done with a Mizani relaxer, but it is the best for my hair, plus I don't like the way the lady styles it. I'd rather put a no-lye box perm in, but I'm afraid to. The last time I used Gentle Treatment or something like that and it was a disaster. Do you think I could buy Mizani Rhelaxer / Neutralizing shampoo from an online retailer and put it in myself? Secondly, if I buy the Mizani relaxer, I'll have a lot left over. Will I have to throw it away or can I store it to use for my next touch-up? Thanks.

1. dont do it. i wouldnt mess around with chemicals. Look dont cheat yourself, treat yourself use that mizhani and dont put it in yourself.im in michigan and some of our hair stores do carry mizhani but like i said if you dont want to be bald- headed let the professionals use professional products on your hair. and let them do it for you
2. DON'T DO IT! I am a stylist and relaxers are the absolute touchiest things to do. If you overlap chemicals on to previously relaxed hair, it breaks off right there, no questions asked. If you are tired of paying the price, try a beauty school where there are professionals there assisting the students. It's better then trying it on your own!!!!
