Anyway, Arosci Normal/Regular is my latest relaxer. I had been using PhytoSpecific Index 1 until 1/4 of the inductor leaked out of the bottle and I contacted their customer service. At first, no one returned my calls and when I got in touch with someone, she basically told me, "tough." This turned me off of Phyto even though I love some of their products. Arosci is comparable to the Phyto in that it doesn't burn, it leaves my hair with body and it doesn't smell (my favorite thing about Phyto). It's also much more affordable. I've only used it once mid October (I self-relax) and I'm about due for I another in a week or two. I mixed it with Aeto Reviving Drops and left it on for exactly 16 minutes total, from start to finish. I was being over cautious for some reason. My hair came out texlaxed, which I wasn't going for but I was pleasantly surprised at how managable it was. I think that was mainly due to the drops I added, though. I'll know for sure when I touch up. Oh, and I have 4a, APL+, normal hair. HTH.lotusspecter said:Hi, I'm new to the forum and sort of timid when it comes to posting, lol.
Like another poster said, Arosci is pretty mild compared to other relaxers. This is my opinion, too, because I've added things to other relaxers but the strength seemed to remain relatively the same. I'm going to omit the drops and find out for sure. I've never added the drops to Phyto but I ordered them because Aeto/Barex is my favorite hair care line and it specifically says it can be added to chemical services such as relaxers to cut down on breakage. They come in little glass vials and you mix the granules with the liquid upon application. http://www.kalologie.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=660junipertree said:
