Poll: Switching ORS relaxer to another relaxer?

[AmyInAtl]

I had been natural 1 year before relaxing w/ Optimum (regular, mo-lye, purple box), my hair loved it, used it once.

Then ORS came out and they have some fabulous products in their line, I love their shampoo amd CON.

But I have used the ORS relaxer 3 times now over, and 3 is the charm, because I realize this permis not all that

I took great care to never overprocess, but my ORS hair is dry and sorta frazzlederplexed

I am switching back to Optimum (New Red box)

Anyone else switching from ORS or thinking abt it

I used Optimum all through college and never had any problems self relaxing. It is a good perm. Now I recently switched to Phyto because of the science behind it. So far I really like the results.

I'm so glad that you started this thread on ORS.

I've used ORS No-Lye for Fine, Delicate hair 3 times now.

The first time was a gem. Left my fine hair really full-looking, healthy, bouncy and with incredible sheen.

The second time, I had the straightness and the bounce, but no shine.

Most recently--the last time I relaxed in December 2006--ORS left me a bit underprocessed. My hair was dull and dry-looking.

So now, I'm ready to relax again, but I was wondering if I should try ORS Lye this time, since I've learned that No-Lye relaxers can strip the hair of oil and make the hair appear dull and lifeless.

So now it's time to relax again, and I either want to use ORS Lye or try Phyto relaxer.

Phyto is expensive. So I'm stuck right now about what to do...

I use ORS no-lye and I love it. But i get it done at the salon. I have tried self-relaxing a couple of times and i suck at it. The only times i ever used Phyto was when i did it myself so i think it had more to do with my technique than the relaxer.

I think my hair prefers ORS. It is the only no lye relaxer that got my hair relaxer strait.

The same thing happened with me. The hair was so dry. Mind you I have really dry hair(and skin) already. Also it had my hair too straight, if that is a bad thing. My hair although I can make it appear thick, is very thin naturally
