Best Relaxer Goes To....

[homegirljiggy]

ORS was good, but when I tried ORS lye I was in LOVE... Once I didnt apply a base, and I didnt burn, and got my hair to desired straightness in 15 min application and smoothing (not much cause I used a dye brush, no more rat tail combs!).

I've used Revlon Realistic for many years, and I am very happy with it.

What were the steps that you used to apply this relaxer?

 

[xxxxcherishxxxx]

Mizani Rhelaxer-Normal. I just got relaxed with this and I am tenderheaded. I didn't burn at all and was surprised. I've always burned doesn't matter how much you base. It also didn't leave my hair with no body. It left it soft with the help of other products of course. Will be using this from now on!

Mizani is the best for my hair. It straightens like none other.

I think I originally voted Silk Elements lye, but now Im loving Elucence lye relaxers. It leaves my hair incredibly soft and silky.

I like Essations....

Phyto. I'm a customer for life . . .

Does anyone think there is a correlation between hair type and relaxers? I was wondering because I must have used over a dozen relaxers within a decade and I found that their seems to be a link between the two. I've used Affirm and it did nothing for me, but cream of nature worked wonders!

My new beautican uses Dudleys exclusively...she uses this relaxer called True Indulgence. My hair has never been straighter.

I had gotten a Dudley's relaxer for the first time here in Italy. I never used any Dudley's product and wouldn't consider it if you had asked me, but I had no choice (I was 9mo prego, so anything went). I must say, I dunno what kind of Dudley's it was BUT my hair was staighter than an Amish farm boy. It was so straight I thought something was wrong.

Decisions, decisions.....I might have to revisit Fredrico n em....

I used to LOVE African Pride Regular relaxer, but I've sine left it for TCB Regular relaxer. I relaxed my sister's hair for her the other day, and her hair is VERY thick, 4a(same as me), but she hadn't relax it in 15 weeks and I got her hair coming out silk!!! I really "beat" the relaxer into the ng, and left it in for five minutes longer than the box said to, but it was either that or not be able to get to all of it.

I know what you mean though.

Elasta QP sensitive scalp. I used to use Elasta QP for normal hair, then I got a good buy on sensitive scalp at a hair show and I'm hooked. So far everything else burns my scalp including phyto

 

[Diamond*Doll]

Since I only get my hair relaxed once a year (just the roots only), I just use Optimum Care Conditioning No Lye Relaxer for Normal Hair, Regular...I'm not an expert on relaxers but it works fine for me, it doesn't burn my scalp while it's on or breaks my hair off once its rinsed out and I start combing through it, that's enough for me to stick with it!

 

[Samory07]

I voted for Affirm, Silk Elements broke my hair off and Mizani made me shed like crazy erplexedand made my hair really dry. Another really good one is Vitale.

Hair Type & Relaxer Choice

Hey Ladies: This is a great thread! Can u post your hair type along w/ your relaxer choice? I am a 4z and I know that there are a special subset of relaxers that will work for my hair.

 

[napgurl]

Elasta QP is fantastic. I looove this relaxer. Thanks CandyC for recommending this.

 

[RubyWoo]

I initially voted Profectiv but ORS Reg Lye Relaxer has taken it's place because it is even better. Before I put my braids in, I was nearly 7 weeks post and my ORS lye relaxed hair was still silky and smooth. That section of my hair feels very different from the rest of my hair. ORS straightens quickly and I get silky straight, strong, shiny hair as a result. Love it!

Oooh, thanks for posting. I have been using Silk Elements for a year, but I'm going to use ORS Lye for my next touch up.

 

[Creatividual]

I really like Motions Oil Moisturizer relaxer. It's the best relaxer I've used to date but I must say I'm so tempted to try Mizani's newest relaxer!

 

[bluediamond0829]

I just self-relaxed with ORS nolye regular...i loved it....came out very nice...

 

[DMCSHERIFF]

Optimum No-Lye for Mild hair was good. didnt burn me but didnt get bone straight. Next time I am using Mizani for Sensitive Scalp. Someone said it was sooo good.
