thanks for all of the responses, i will be trying mizani in about two weeks for the first time. i am still undecided if i want the mild or sensitive scalp(unless it is the same thing). i have been using optimum no lye and my hair was becoming so dry looking and fuzzy. i was scared about lye relaxers because my hair is prettty fragile but i will give it a try. i will try to get some pics together by theni have been stretching my relaxer about 7 1/2 weeks (i usually relax every 5 weeks) with good results so maybe by this weekend or the next i will try mizani, will see how long i can take all of the new growth :cool:
