Has anyone tried Phytorelaxer

[Champagne_Wishes]

I read some good review of it on Hair Boutique but I don't know which formula to get. I may or may not relax my hair. The reason why I'm considering relaxing my hair again is that I started to excerise and I don't want my hair to be frizzy. Any suggestion or comments would be helpful.

I tried the relaxer. About 3 touch ups ago. I was originally relaxing with Optimum No-Lye and was very pleased with the results until one day it just did not take for some reason. I waited another 6 weeks and tried it again. Again, it would not take to my hair. I got a little nervous because now we're talking 13/14 weeks of new growth. So I ordered Phyto Index 2 from Hairboutique (I cannot believe I paid $44 for a product with only two applications). It got the hair straight!! Straighter than Optimum. My mouth flew open, I could not believe how good the hair "looked." No breakage either. The only thing . . . it left this sort of waxy buildup on my hair that I could not shampoo out. I was not too concerned about it . . . I figured I'd get it out on the next wash day. Next wash--washed, and there was something strange about the feel of my strands . . . I really cannot expain it but there was a coating, a strange roughness to it almost like the cuticles stayed raised (even after neutralizing). I switched to Affirm Mild with Lye. Finally, it feels like my original hair again.

In summation, Phyto Index 2 does relax well (even better than Affirm Lye or Optimum No Lye IMO), I just was not used to the texture it gave me. Hope this helps.

Re: Has anyone tried Phytorelaxer( Paging Lala)

Yes, I did and it was great. My last touch up was in June( @ the salon). It was my first time using it and I got a ton of ooohs and ahhhhs. It straights very well, I prefer only to texturize . I tried Phytorelaxer after much review and research(personal recommendations from friends & stylists). In atlanta there a few salons that use it. Lala here @LHCF shared her positive experience with me as well.

I tried it and didn't like it. For a no lye relaxer it is one of the best, but I'll never do the no lye thing again. My hair just responds to lye better. I use Motions Oil relaxer in super and leave it on for no longer than 15 minutes. no, it's no straight, but it's straight enough to look good with a curly style or blowdried staight. I've had hardly any breakage either so this works way better for me.
Ironically, my strands are dense but fine, and this still works.
