Elasta QP B4 & After Protein Revitalising Complex

Has anyone used this product before relaxing their hair? If so did it protect it and generally how would you rate this product?

I've used it in the past. Can't give a true thumbs up or down on it. My sister seems to like it though. She feels that it was an added protection when doing her touch-ups. I'm a big fan of Elasta products anyway. One thing though - are they still selling it? My BSS guy said that he couldn't get it anymore from the company. Not an issue for us anymore because both of us are transitioning....

Yeah, I called one day and they said they'd discontinued it and said that the BCS was the product that took it's place.

What is BCS? I have it and I use it during my touch ups and I like it as an added protection. There are tons of it around New York.

cutebajangirl, what exactly does it do for your hair, does it shed less during touch ups? Also, could you please refer back to the Arosci thread, you seem to have all the knowledge!!!

Nah, I never used it but was interested in it before I knew they'd discontinued it.

cutebajangirl also do you have a no-lye relaxer and does it matter either way?

Okay so since I switched to mild I never get shedding post relaxer so I can't really say that it cuts down on the shedding. I read a while back (like 2000)that when you wear braids or weaves the braiding hair can cause little nicks in your own hair strands that are then more prone to breakage when you get a relaxer. To prevent it you should use a filler before you relax. So since then I have been looking for a filler. They are the cheapest one I found 4.99 for 6 ounces. The only other people that make a filler that I have found is Dudley's and I see that for 1.99 for 2 ounces.

Oh I just figured it out BCS= Breakage Control Serum- These are products for different stages in haircare in my opinion so I don't see how one could replace the other.

Oh gosh now my PJ need to stockpile is building. Darnit!
