Botanicals!

Hi Ladies! I lurked around this board for a week, joined, and have continued lurking

I've decided to break my silence by singing my praises for Soft & Beautiful Botanicals relaxer. My scalp is pretty sensitive and my hair always takes to relaxers very quickly. Botanicals is the only relaxer I've tried that doesn't irritate my scalp. I mean I hardly feel any itching at all and it has never caused any burns. I'm sold!

JELLYNOTE AND MYCO:

I notice you all both have the same hair type as me and use affirm lye mild. I continue to get underprocessed with this relaxer. How does yours turn out? Are you able to get it straight? How long do you leave it on?

 

[myco]

Can you described what you mean by "underprocessed" and "straight"? I ask because I think it depends on your perception, because if I saw your hair, I might think there was nothing wrong with it. My hair still retains a loose wave pattern after I relax.

I don't actually know how long it takes me, but I try to do it when a 30 minute program is on. I should be rinsing by the climax of the show. The key for me is getting it in quickly and using a fitted plastic glove to smooth it. I just go in with my hands and seperate different sections and smooth it with my fingers. That way I can feel my hair and tell which sections need more relaxer. I think it's very important that you don't skimp on the amount of relaxer that you apply to each section.
