What bad things have you heard about African Pride? Optimum is good one too..

I normally lurk, but I had to respond.
I used African Pride this weekend. I used the entire bottle of shampoo to rinse, lathering 4 or 5 times. On the last shampoo, it was still a little pink, but I thought it was okay.
When I woke up Sunday, my hair didn't feel right. Limp, dead, too straight despite the underprocessed waves and curlies. I decided to do an Aphogee treatment and grabbed some old Optimum neutr. shampoo to wash. Guess what? Pink. I had to wash three times before the lather was all white. I shudder to think what would have happened if I hadn't washed again. That is probably why the women on the other board lost their hair (I lurk there too!).
I like the way the African Pride feels; it is very soft for a no-lye. But if you use it, have some extra neutralizing shampoo handy.

TCB Naturals worked great for me when I was No-Lye. I'm thinking of going back to it.

I always have leftover shampoo from the African Pride, but I do have to use two boxes since I do half and half and the first batch isn't any good when I get around to the second half of my head.
I lather up 2 or 3 times, and the 3rd time I let the shampoo sit in my hair for a time to really make sure it is neutralized.
But having extra Neutralizing shmpoo on hand is ALWAYS a good idea when using the box relaxers. The bottles are small and as your hair grows, may not contain enough product to do the job.

Tiffy, what relaxer have you used in the past? Why not just use what you know?
<font color="purple">I alternate between no-lye relaxers. I used Gentle Treatment in the past, and African Pride as well. Now I'm deciding between At One Sensitive Scalp Relaxer(the one I used for transitioning my natural hair last fall), or trying TCB Naturals Relaxer. But for now, I'm sticking with At One 'cause it has 2 packets of the protector the keep the previous relaxed hair and ends from overprocessing. I really love what it did for my hair in the first place. </font>
