[BlackHairDiva]

I have officially purchase the Linange texturizer. I bought:
* 2 jars of the shea butter texturizer (b/c I have really thick hair & 26wks of NG)
* The Linange neutralizer conditioner
* and the Mizani chelate/neutralizing shampoo.

It should be here before the new year. I am really excited. I hope I like it. This will be my 1st time using this brand and a lye relaxer.

I will def post before/after pics. Did anyone elese order yet?

I use this relaxer FAITHFULLY. I will never use another relaxer. cocoagirl, I have very resistant hair and it is the only relaxer that gets my hair straight and smooth. The picture I posted last year does not give it justice because it gets straight but with body. I can go on and on about this relaxer.

Where do u order yours from?

Where do u order yours from?

I order the relaxer and neutralizing conditioner from Sleekhair.com . It is about $0.50-$0.75 cheaper on other sites but I get perks/discounts from Sleekhair.com .

I picked mine up from my mailbox this morning. I ordered the lye set, along with the energizing & rebalancing cream. But my relaxer kit didn't have the restructuring conditioner with it; it had the coconut mask instead.

I'm not mad though, because I spent a couple of days trying to decide between that and the energizing cream...now I have both! My only problem now is deciding whether to order the restructuring conditioner (I really want to relax...like yesterday) or head out to Sally's grab a restructuring mask from there. Decisions, decisions...

Yea!!! I cant wait to get mines!! Where did you order yours from? I got mine's from Amazon. It's weird b/c the relaxer is being shipped from Bella Moi and the Neutralizer conditioner is being shipped from Ulgy&Beauty.

Hello, I've been looking into this relaxer for my first relaxer in over a decade. I was wondering if those who use it also do a protien treatment before neutralizing. If so do you stick with the product line or use something else like ApHogee?

longhairdreaming I did the Aphogee 2 Step a week before and then Aphogee 2 Min as a mid-step before neutralizing. Never really did a protein mid-step (or even a deep protein treatment) before. My hair felt stronger and then softer when I applied the neutralizing conditioner. I also used ORS Creamy Aloe before the conditioner and it all worked out well. I will repeat these steps for my next relaxer beginning of March.

I just self relaxed with the linange shea butter texturizer for the first time & I am in LUV!! I will def share photos & details when I have access to a computer.

Surprisingly, I didn't even use the whole jar. I still have half left, which I plan on using for my next touch up. I was alittle over 26 wks post. You should be fine. Are u using lye or no lye? I used lye.

I'm using lye. I'm trying to do it today if I can find huge chunk of time to do it. Maybe later this afternoon after I pick my daughter up from play practice. Better yet, my DH can pick her up.

 

[acapnleo]

awww man... I was trying to not relax again and y'all are making it difficult...

I did like the no burning and how my wash n go's looked with using this relaxer.

I knew I shouldn't have come in here...

Hi Ladies!!!

As promised here are LOTS and LOTS of pics of my recent new try of the Linange Shea Butter Texturizer. I really love this relaxer. I have a very sensitive scalp and I was surprise that it didnt burn and I didnt have scabs. Another thing that I noticed is that I have little to no shedding. I am texlax and this texturizer got my hair the way I wanted it to. This is one bandwagon that I am soooooo happy that I joined!!

The 1st bunch of pics are before my texturizer; pics of my NG.

 

[Guinan]

These pics are right after applying the texturizer

 

[Guinan]

right after relaxer

 

[Guinan]

Ok, now these pics are the end result after washing, conditioning, M&S, light blow-dry and flat ironing. I am very happy with the results. My hair has NEVER been this straight yet still has it's thickness. I have also included texture shots.

 

[Guinan]

More texture and end result pics

 

[4evershika]

Man! pelohello those are some great results!

I just switched back to no-lye because the lye relaxers were not working well with my sensitive scalp but I hate the way no-lye relaxers leave my hair! I think I will make one more last ditch attempt at lye using the Linange...

 

[Guinan]

I can't find the air dried pics. When I find them I will post them 2morrow.

 

[longhairdreaming]

pelohello your hair is beautiful!

I plan on ordering the Texturizer very soon but I have a question:

For all those who say that the Lye Relaxer or Texturizer did not burn their scalp, are you basing your scalp with anything beforehand or do you see no need to base since it's so gentle?

Thanks

I still based my scalp. I based it with vaseline. Some ladies don't but my scalp is very sensitive so to be on the safe side, I decided just to go ahead and base.

 

[wiggy4life]

I Ordered the lineage set lye from amazon. The set had the relaxer, neutralizing shampoo, and reconstructor mask. I applied it last night and it started burning so I was only able to leave it in for 15 mins. But i had washed my hair 2 days ago and the thickness got the best of me and i couldnt hold out any longer to relax. The front is underprocessed in some sections but my hair in the back is straight. Next go round i will base my scalp so i can get it all straight. The mizani butter blends and silk elements always leaves me under procecessed. My hair hasnt been this straight in a while. I like this relaxer because i still have body and my hair feels good. I should have taken some pictures but i was so tired after fussing with my hair i threw it up in a bun.

Ive been using Linange coconut shea butter conditioner for about 4 years and its really good. I have not used anything else in the line tho.
