In two weeks I'm gonna go to the BS and try Phyto for the first time after streching for 5 months. Is there any do's or don'ts I shoud know before using it?
I so want this experience to be a succes and come back with great review.
Any advice is welcome, Thanks in advance

1) Make sure your hair is detangled b4 you put the relaxer. Some (including) have reported massive tangles from the relaxer.

2) Follow up their reconstructor with at least 30 minutes of your most moisturizing deep conditioner.

Best of luck!

Use the whole jar the first time to get a feel if you need to use the whole jar or just half

When you mix the product incorporate a bit at a time, blend and then repeat. If you dump the whole bottle in it it can get a bit clumpy and will take longer to make the mixture uniform.

The neutralizing process takes quite a few washes for the suds to turn white. I suggest, 2 shampoo's then rinse and on the 3rd shampoo let it sit on your hair for about 3-5 minutes. The color intensity should be alot less then and should be white about the 4th or 5th shampoo.

I didn't use their reconstructor (some people complained of tangles) and others didn't have any complaints.

I look forward to your review.

What did you use in place of the reconstructor?

I used the conditioner and had no tangles though some people did. My hair came out great.

I read the directions over and over prior to taking it to my hairstylist.

How much did your stylist charge you since you brought your own relaxer?

They charge $35 if you bring your own relaxer.
