Best Relaxer Goes To....

[amberways]

I voted Affirm what my stylist uses, but I have yet to meet a relaxer that my hair didnt like.

 

[Ebony Majesty]

When I last relaxed my hair, I used Elasta QP, however I'm hearing so much good things about ORS Olive Oil relaxer

 

[sexyaqr]

I loved the ORS but I have used Creme of Nature for so long. It doesn't get my hair as dead straight(I like) as the ORS, too straight for me but no burning, etc, etc.

Motions oil Creme Relaxer is my fav. and works best on my 4b hair.

Bra strap Challenge 6/12/2007

vitamins: biotin, flaxseed oil, multivitamin.

My hair is kept wrapped in a silk scarf while indoors, I drench my ends with Suave Professionls Humunctant Deep Conditioner and seal the ends with coconut oil.

Prior to washing my hair I pre-poo entire head with the same conditioner from early morning with my hair wrapped in a scarf, if I have to go out I put a cap over my scarf, then wash out at the end of the day with Motions oil neutr. poo, motions deep conditioner w/oil combined with coconut oil and put a steamy hand towel over it and plastic cap for 10 min, I could go for 30 min under the dry as well ut I have a little one who keeps me busy.

Today i will air dry with placenta mist, ic hair straightning gel,blue magic conditioning hair grease- but very little, mango butter for my ends and coconut oil. I will Flat iron once dry! Here is where I'm eliminating my blow dryer.

I'll let you guys know my progress.

ORS Olive oil for me

 

[Delece]

I voted other. Phyto all the way.

Your hair is amazing......What is your hair care regimen and what is the name of the herbal oil in your products section. Please email me at [email protected].

Thanks you are truly an inspiration!

 

[alliyah4eva203]

revlon works best for me.

 

[Bosslady1]

I picked Affirm.

 

[trulyurangel82]

So far ors olive oil

 

[InnerSoul]

I voted for ORS no-lye relaxer, it definitely is a winner to me !!
the silkyness.. and the shine.. ... what more can be said?

ETA: I will no longer be using no-lye relaxers... I am switching to Lye

 

[yodie]

Precise!!

Just texlaxed with it and it's the first relaxer that has not burned or made my hair shed.

 

[HoneyDew]

I want to change my choice. Profectiv has worked well for me. It does well in texlaxing me and is not as damaging as some of the others I have used. The ingredients are yummy, too.

 

[angelbaby]

I had to leave the Affirm alone. Not only did my hair look like a puffy mess from this relaxer, I experienced hair shedding from the roots. It made my hair thinner. I had never experienced that with a relaxer before. When I switched over to Silk Elements the root shedding stopped shedding and I no longer get crunchy hair and breakage. I threw away a huge tub of that Affirm.

 

[secretdiamond]

I haven't officially voted, b/c I want to be really really really sure, but for now, SE has been by far the best for me and I don't see myself EVER switching (as long as Sally's keeps cranking them out).

ETA: Dropping SE. It burned the living day lights out of my scalp last time. Plus, my hair doesn't stay straight after a few weeks. :/

PHYTOSPECIFIC RELAXER INDEX 1​

 

[RubyWoo]

Profectiv gets my vote! It straightens with minimal burning. My hair also felt strong after using this relaxer because of the use of breakfree in the relaxing process. You actually apply breakfree to the hair before you relax to prevent overprocessing. You can also use it as a deep conditioner and a leave-in.

I plan to use ORS relaxer the next time I relax because my mom swears by it and I've read soo many good reviews on it.

I am glad to hear that someone else likes Profectiv. I think the relaxer cream helps, too. My hair feels strong after relaxing with this, and I don't use the BreakFree (fear of underprocessing) Check the great ingredients in the creams:

Water Aqua , Cetearyl Alcohol , Steareth-20 , Steareth-10 , Petrolatum , Mineral Oil Paraffinum Liquidum , Guanidine Carbonate , Polyquaternium-37 , Mineral Oil , PPG-1 Trideceth-6 , Hydrolyzed Silk , Hydrolyzed Soy Protein , Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Avena Sativa , Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein , Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Triticum Vulgare , Fragrance , FD&C Yellow No. 5 , Water Aqua , Cetearyl Alcohol , Steareth-20 , Steareth-10 , Petrolatum , Mineral Oil Paraffinum Liquidum , Calcium Hydroxide , Polyquaternium-6 , Propylene Glycol , Shea Butter Butyrospermum Parkii , Cocoa Butter Theobroma Cacao , Soybean Oil Glycine Soja , Olive Oil Olea Europaea , Jojoba Oil Bruxus Chinensis , Tocopherol Vitamin E , Tea Tree Oil Melaleuca Alternifolia , PEG-75 Lanolin

This relaxer has me spoiled because I don't like those with just the basic ingredients like so many have. They say they are conditioning, but all the conditioning is in the shampoo and conditioners that follow. I want the actual relaxer cream to have all of those yummy ingredients, too.

I am trying Phytospecific next. I will compare it to Profectiv to see if it is just as good or better.

 

[maddsexycool]

Mizani has been my choose for the past few relaxings. It leaves my hair soft and doesn't dry it out like no-lye relaxers have in the past. Alot of times I think that you get what you pay for.

Phyto is my

 

[Serenity_Peace]

I'mma need everyone's help in the next two weeks or so. I am 4 months post and will finally relax in two weeks. I'm going back and forth between Phyto and ORS lye vs. no lye. I've always used no lye but I'm interested in Lye. My problem is that I have very fine-textured, soft hair. Would using a Lye relaxer damage my hair? I generally use ORS No Lye, so I'm interested in ORS Lye.

Any takers out there?

Thanks, as always!

 

[Missi]

Motions Salon Herbals is the best....for me it makes my hair really soft and not bone straight...it lets me keep my volume and waves

 

[csmoot]

I voted Affirm. I like the Fiberguard Sensitive Scalp perm. I usually burn and burn and burn. This is the only perm that i have ever used that I can leave it on long enough to get bone straight.

I'm glad you posted the ingredients and I wish I went back to this thread sooner before I relaxed with ORS(big let down and underwhelmed). Your post just reinforced why I will continue to relax with Profectiv and never stray from it again..lol.

Hawaiin Silky Herbal

 

[KAT25]

this relaxer left my hair so silky and soft after i rinsed the relaxer out before I applied conditioner after the conditioner was on it was great

I am so spoiled by it that if i even THINK about trying something else, I just look at the ingredients of the other relaxer. If it has just a few lame ingredients - I put it down. I am no longer relaxing with these kits that claim to have all these conditioning ingredients but really don't - all they normallyhave is the chemicals and some mineral oil - maybe some natural oils - but that is just not enough.

I am going to try PhytoRelaxer II next time because those ingredients were great, too. I admit, not as impressive as the Profectiv ingredient list, but I like the fact that it does not have Calcium Hydroxide so I am going to give it a whirl.
