Does anyone use motions relaxers, the regular one or herbal ones

[gymfreak336]

I have been looking into trying the mild herbal relaxer because I use the neutralizig condtioner from this line and I love it. I was just wondering what were your experiences with motions relaxers.

a lot of people had bad experiences with motion relaxers myself included. when i used it my hair was underprocessed in the front and it didnt have that relaxer bling that you usually get after a perm. when i switched to mizani it actually looked like i just got a relaxer.

I think that navsegda used the Herbals relaxer. From what I recall, though, Motions relaxers generally got a thumbs down from LHCF members. Not exactly sure why, though.

When you say Herbals, is that the silkening relaxer in the green jar/yellow lid?

I've used that one and for the most part it got my hair BONE straight, which I liked but I did get a good amount of scalp burning also. I've only used the regular strength, I don't use anything stronger regardless of relaxer. I would have stayed with it (for straightening) but the scalp burns were just a . My hair also had great shine when I smoothed it bone straight, otherwise it was rather dull looking. I used it for about 4 applications before finally calling it quits.

I love the Neutralizing Poo and Conditioner though.

I won't go back to it.

My hair didn't like motions. It left me underprocessed and lead to breakage. I later had to get a corrective to fix it.

Motions Oil Relaxer, regular formula, works very well with my resistant hair. It doesn't make it too straight and leave my hair feeling "stripped". I strayed from it to try Affirm and Mizani and now I'm right back to Motions.

I am the same way...my first perm was Motions Regular, then I switched to the Herbals Regular. Once I switched to ORS No-Lye Regular and not even 2 days later did I have major breakage all over my back and shoulders...I decided then that if it's not broke don't fix it!!!!!!!!
Many LHCFs complain that Motions leaves their hair underprocessed and I don't really know if it does that to my hair...I think that its actually better for my hair as I still have texture. I don't know how helpful I'm being as I have only tried 3 perms as an adult (2 being Motions)...but I am an advocate for Motions as I don't like bone straight lifeless hair.

Hey girl

I use Motions Oil Moisturizer in Mild. My hair is such that it's not bone straight but not texlaxed either, y'know what I mean? It's soft and shiny, too. I don't have to leave it on that long to straighten it, maybe 15 min max. I'm pretty meticulous a/b basing my scalp so burning hasn't been an issue for me.

IMO if you don't have really fine hair, it might not be as effective for you.

When my hair was relaxed I used Motions Regular in the huge tub with the Purple lid and yellow container and my hair loved it. http://public.fotki.com/tffy2004/all_things_hair!!!/my_transition!/2006/november/

I used Motions mild from 1997 til 1999 to texturize my very short scalp hair. I also use it now to texturize. Its safe and predictable on my resilient bush.
I would never use it for bone straight hair because its too mild.

Motions forced me to go natural a few years ago. A so-called stylist convinced me to use Motions and it eventually took globs of hair out...so much so that I was forced to BC and went natural. This was just my experience, though. Since then, I cringe when someone mentions Motion products. Coincidentially, I've heard so much about Motions CPR that I went out and bought it.

This is the one that was used on me for my last 2 relaxers and I love it!

Thanks for your feedback. I might look into the purple lidded one.
