relax with leisure... any experiences?

[sereia]

Hi ladies,
I saw a new lye relaxer in the BSS, Relax with Leisure. It is in a brown jar.
The ingredients looked like all the good stuff: Aloe Vera, Silk Amino Acids, Panthenol etc.
Unfortunately I had just bought my regular Revlon.
Did anybody try it?

love

hmmm....I havent heard of leisure before.
Does that mean you arent transitioning any more or was that just a long stretch?

I just bought my revlon regular yesterday. I think its my favourite relaxer .

hi Lkaysgirl!
It was a VERY long stretch. After the Wave Nouveau, my scalp badly needed a rest. I had so much shedding! I think I was traumatized because I was really scared to go to a hairdresser again. I liked the WN but I didn´t want to put my precious head to the mercy of a hairdresser, so I decided to go back to relaxing.
Today I went to a Brazilian hairdresser who was recommended to me (I didn´t want to deal with all the NG). But it was like a flashback: He overlapped, left the relaxer on for too long, combed vigorously and put the relaxer on my scalp so it was irritated.
My hair is o.k. though, I didn´t lose too much (although he broke a lot) shiny and very curly. I think I will stick to Revlon, too

all the best!

Omgoodness! That vigorous combing wasnt done with the relaxer still in your head was it?

Revlon so far hasnt let me down. I find that I need to leave it on just a little longer for it to work the way I want it to. But thats ok coz it give me enough application and smoothing time when I self relax .

unfortunately it was a lot of hair broke and I got a scalp burn. Now I know for sure that I will NEVER let a hairstylist touch my hair again! I was disappointed EVERY SINGLE TIME (sorry for the rant )!
Lkays, I am glad that you do so well!

Yes I have used it for the past 3 years. The same company makes Vitale and Hawaiin silky relaxers as well. It's actually the exact to me as Vitale. I use the entire process. It's labeled by numbers. I go for bone straight for me and sorta texlaxed for my daughter. It does a nice job.

Thanks so much for that info . I was going to try vitale next relaxer.The ingredients look really good, I'm thinking about trying their entire system.
