Yes she uses relaxers. And, it's no-lye. Soft&Beautiful (reg). She uses the whole line of Soft & Beautiful products, thats what I flatironed it with, the moisturizer. She uese the shampoo and conditioner.
As for a regime, she don't do anything special. She uses Vaseline to grease her scalp when it gets dry, always have. That's what her mom used to do her ponytails w/ when we where little. Not, Blue Magic like my mom loved so dear, LOL.
I relax her hair ever 2months or so, and I ALWAYS take it down to the ends, ay HER request. i tried telling her about overprocessing, and she's says " I've always had it done like that" so I comply. I remember posting this before, and some of instructed me to stop doing her hair, because if anything happen I would be blamed. Well, I don't think that will be the case, especially, when I got" I told you so" to hang over her.
Her motto is " If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it".
As for how, I got it so shiny and straight, I just made thin parts in a row, and flatironed it row by row. It takes me about, 40mins or so to do that. So I have alot of clips and stuff handy to keep her hair separated.
At her request, she didn't want any front pics of her face, but I wish you all could see how much she favors Adrienne.
