kiddie perms

[Adrian3bc]

I was wondering what are the gentlest childrens relaxers? I have tried motions for kids and it broke my hair. Also, any suggestions on regular relaxers that are super mild? What does everyone think about old school tcb lye mild?

I don't know if this is true, but I read that kiddie perms are no more gentle than regular relaxers. I think it was on ourhair.

I'll check and see if I can bring up a source.

I was using kiddie perms when my hair started breaking...you're better off with a mild 'lye' conditioner. When I first started coming online...I remember reading that kiddie perms were actually hard on your hair...

Motions Oil relaxer in mild never got my hair bone straight, so I figured it was pretty gentle...

I have never used these brands, but I've read on various boards that they are very gentle:

Elucence ( found here )
PhytoSpecific Phytorelaxer (from Hair Boutique )
Lady Velvet
TCB Bone Straight
Dark &amp; Lovely Beautiful Beginnings
Couzzette (only available through mail order--check out diamoness' posts in this thread )

In my opinion Beautiful Beginnings is a very gentle relaxer. My mother can apply it to my hair without using gloves.
