Well, I finally got a chance to relax my hair with this Phyto. It was kind of weird for me since I am used to lye relaxers. I read the directions two or three times to make sure that everything was on track. I mixed the inductor with the cream and thought that I wouldn't have enough. Turns out that I used the whole darn jar. My hair is super, duper straight, which I LOVE...This allows me to get the most out of my relaxer for a longer period of time. I started to smooth it through and man that stuff breaks down fast (Index 2). I was just leisurely (sp?) taking my time when I felt some tingling so I started to move. You should have seen me. I was a sight to behold. Ya'll divas would have been proud!
You guys were right on about the neutralizing time. It took me forever to get that white lather! I finally decided to do the ACV rinse which I learned from Sareca (thanks girl it works) and I had immediate white lather. I still lathered twice more after that and have a smidgen of neutralizer left.
When I rinsed, I could not believe how thick, strong, yet straight my hair felt. My neice and husband were literally standing there with their mouths hanging open when I came out of the shower (stumbling, staggering because I was so tired of neutralizing).
I did use the milky stuff (which I actually liked) and sat under my heat cap with my ORS pak. My hair is lovely!. Very healthy looking and I know my loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg stretch had a lot to do with that. From now on I will be stretching like a mug!
This was a turning point for me. I have been very flighty when it comes to my hair always letting it grow, then cutting it all off but now I am learning to appreciate it and love it. I am so happy!
Thank you for your support girls. It would not have turned out this way without all of your knowledge. This was my first relaxer since joining LHCF. Gotta go look at my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I tried Phyto II twice and I'm ready to try another, I wish I got the same results as you guys but I don't 
. I still have enough for a second application and don't know what I'm gonna do with it! Oh and how long was your stretch?
