Pre-Relaxer Treatment Suggestions

[CokoQt]

I am looking for a prerelaxer treatment product for the next time I relax my hair --- something designed specifically as a prerelaxer treatment to help prevent overlapping damage instead of what I usually use (serums, vaseline, or conditioner). I am considering Design Essentials Protect + Pre-Chemical Pre Relaxer treatment but cannot find it available online. Does anyone use this or a similar type product? If anyone knows where this can be purchased online, I'd appreciate it.

I don't know of any pre-made serums per se but I use a mixture of vaseline and the neutralizing shampoo.

I will bump this for you ...

I didn't think of mixing the two but that sounds like it would be a good alternative.

I just switched to ORS so this sounds like it could work for me.

Have you seen Mizani's Honey Shield?

I've never tried it but I plan on buying some after I finish up some of my other products. I wish it came in a smaller bottle. The last time I relaxed I used Vitale base creme and a whole lot of Amla oil lite. My stylist raved about how good of a pre-relaxer job I did and it was the first time in years that I didn't burn at all from a relaxer.

how did it make your hair feel? soft? hard? did it have slip?

Thanks! I have never tried the Honey Shield. Does anyone know if the it can be applied to new growth and the previously relaxed hair? In reading about Affirm Protecto, I see that Protecto can be applied to both.

It made my hair feel oily cause is oil when i put it on....manageble while being relaxed and it washed out fine...my hair came out nice and it was soft...what sold me on the protecto was the fact that it claims to condition your hair and seal cuticles it also helps with split ends i believe.

It worked for me...I applied a nice amount and coated all my hair....hair came out soft and it washed out easily

You are only supposed to put it on the relaxed hair to prevent it from being overprocessed. You are to avoid the new growth.

^^^^^ That's what I was going to say- UNLESS you desire underprocessing and a lot of people do this to do more of a texlax.
