I was going to say ORS, but I'm thinking twice about it now.
I might have to go back to lye & try silk elements. Why can't I ever settle on one relaxer?!

Can't believe no one else has mentioned it. It keeps my hair smooth, straight and healthy.
(and since my teens I've tried SO many: Revlon, TCB, soft & beautiful, PCJ, Motions, Gentle Treatment, Creme of Nature, and probably those I"ve forgotten ...although none of these were bad)
I just relaxed yesterday in a total of 15 minutes from first dab to rinse out and Optimum had my hair so straight it scared me.. Don't want it too straight that it breaks.
(Plus, I used a new four-section parting system I read about on another hair site.
You part in the middle, and then instead of parting from ear to ear, you part off at each temple area. That way you whip through most of the hair in two vertical sections. And then do the temple areas last. I had my whole relaxer applied in six minutes. It helps that you don't break momentum or change sections where the hair is thickest (crown, front)
It was amazing. Plus I used Porosity Control for the 1st time. Yesterday was my most enjoyable self-relaxer ever.)
