These are my fav's, in order of best, great, good. They all got my hair bone straight, but some left my hair more silky, moisturized and fuller than others.
1) Phyto Index II -- LOVE so much; don't love the price though
2) Mizani -- I used this mostly when I was in the salon, and I self relaxed with it once; never had bad results with it.
3) Affirm -- good relaxer, straightened really nicely but didn't wow me or anything. I was still happy with the quality of the product though.
I be like :scratchch: where are these ladies getting all this loot? where do they work? I'm a Sr. Analyst and make decent $....well i have to kids in college (engineers) so.....IT AIN'T HAPPEN'N! 
ALTER EGO LINANGE SHEA BUTTER RELAXER!
I have tried MANY relaxers... Design Essentials, Motions - normal and the herbal, Affirm, Nairobi, etc. and NOTHING is like this relaxer.
THe best way I can explain it is that afterwards, my hair doesn't feel like relaxed hair. It doesn't feel the way Nairobi or Affirm or DE makes my hair feel, which is like silky, relaxed hair. The linange makes it feel like it grew out of my scalp PERFECTLY straight and silky silky silky silky... not like I just infused it with silk, but like it was always that way. The major difference is that now, months after my relaxer, I can see the HUGE difference in my hair texture. My ends from Nairobi and DE are straighter and say, after I wash and airdry... look more artificially straight? My bit from when I was relaxed in March has too much texture and is kind of underprocessed (looks pretty, so I'm leaving it alone and I just make sure it doesn't cause breakage), but the Linange area dries straight, yet with body....
For lack of a way to put it, that section looks like the hair of someone who has naturally straight-wavy hair with body.... Like I could straighten it afterward on a 2/10 setting for 5-10 minutes and have it bling.
And now I'm pissed because the salon I MUST go to here (Boston - because they're the most economical yet know their ish, don't cut too much, and help you grow) REFUSE to take other relaxers and only use Affirm, Mizani, and Paul Mitchell. I know Affirm is great, but I may go with Mizani just to have a look-see.
At least I can have my hair relaxed with Linange whenever I go home. I need to become brave enough to self-relax. I considered it for this time, but I want a trim and rinse too.
Awesome! Can't wait to hear your review! I hope it works great for you sweetie!You've got me hype because I just got some Linange relaxer this week! Can't wait to try it on Monday
Topnotch,
sounds interesting though...i'm looking for bone straight. So far ORS doesn't do much for my hair, I just tried Dark n Lovely my mom done it for me, it's good but can be done a little straighter....gonna let my hairdresser put it in next time to see how I really like the results.
