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

Elasta QP is the only relaxer that I have had true success with.


YEHHH elasta QP is the most bestest relaxer in the worlddd!!! so mild and keeps the hair so moisturized and sparkly!
 
My last relaxer was Elucence. I am happy with those results. Even though something tells me I would love Phyto on my hair.
 
I love, love, love PCJ lye relaxer with nutrient sheen. Its extremely gentle on my hair, and I have bounce and shine
 
I take back what I said about ORS...

its not the best.. The best relaxers I ever used in my left are:
Bantu
Affirm
Mizani

All Extra Strength
 
I thought I was the only one who still liked PCJ. I relaxed last night with it and it came out soft, with sheen and I still have some texture/wave :)
 
I used Silk Elements lye for my last touch up. Based on it's excellent conditioning ingriedients, availabity at Sally's and low price, it gives me the most bang for my buck. ;)

you took the words out of my mouth
 
I voted Silk Elements. No bad smell, no burning, just nice soft hair. I used the lye one, but I may switch to the no-lye one because I want to add some color.
 
Okay, in the past 10 years or so I've had Affirm, Design, Elasta QP, and Vitale Pro.

One stylist said Affirm is for thicker hair, while my other stylist said Design is for thicker hair, more so than Affirm. But, to say the least, Design had a much better effect than Affirm. Or maybe it was more of the stylist. Huh!!

Another stylist used Elasta QP recently. That was the last relaxer that I had. She used it two times and it didn't get as straight as Design either time. But, eventually Design got my hair less straight, so my stylist used Vitale Pro Sensitive Scalp. Has anyone heard of it??? It is the TRUTH. Because it is Sensitive Scalp, it didn't burn. And I am known for scratching right before a relaxer because my scalp always itches. And it still didn't burn. It also kept my hair straight longer. In which now it makes me wonder. New growth means my hair is growing. So does less new growth mean my hair was growing slower with this relaxer???
 
Why am I in here? :lol: When I relaxed, I used Affirm Lye Mild. I loved it, eventhough it didn't get my very straight. I was still krinkly. I left it in 30-40 minutes. Maybe that's why my hair was thin in compaison to my natural hair. :ohwell: Or maybe it was the heat. :ohwell:
 
Best relaxer for me goes to N'gone, it doesn't over process your hair and my hair grew the most when I was using it for a year so i'm waiting on my package for it from gueye's for my perm.

I will use OPTIMUM NO-LYE forever!
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.:eek:. 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.:) )

DITTO!!!!!!!

I just relaxed my hair 4 days ago and it was the first time ever that a relaxer got my hair straight and I tried everything ,I had to go to the salon for the last 18 months to get a semi-straight outcome.
Optimum No-Lye rules!!!!:grin:
 
hmm.. i don't know. Motions always leave me underprocessed, so has soft and beautiful, and any other boxed kit relaxers i've used. i'll try try TCB, Design essentials, and Mizani next. i don't use no-lye relaxers anymore.
 
ORS has worked the best for me so far! I love it! The ones that didn't work for me were Motions and Hawaiian Silky...they did absolutely nothing for my hair!
 
I love ORS Olive Oil normal :D !!!! It gets my hair straighter than any relaxer I've ever used. My hair is kind of fine so lye relaxers are too strong for me and the only other no lye relaxer I've ever used was soft and beautiful which left me underprocessed. The ORS relaxer is the bomb, it doesn't burn and it leaves my hair straight and silky for up to 8 weeks.
