Final answer:

To check the processing of a relaxer, press a strand to the scalp and if it beads, use a neutralizer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When checking the processing of a relaxer, you can press a strand of hair to the scalp. If the hair "beads" from the scalp, it means that the relaxer has not been neutralized properly. To fix this, you would need to use a neutralizer. A neutralizer is an oxidizing agent, usually a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide, that helps reform the disulfide bonds in their new positions.
