REVIEW: Elucence Lye Extra Strength

[Miosy]

Wanted to let the Elucence fans know that I relaxed with the XS version because the regular took to long to relax my curls (18 min). This version is way stronger. I left it on for 10 minutes w/o smoothing and it relax my new growth about 85-90%. If I had smooth with a comb or fingers it would've been bone straight. It works really fast. Some of you guys know that I am surging my hairline which I tried to avoid getting the relaxer on but some baby fine hair a little past the hair line did get relaxer on it and I just notice I got a mini bold spot

So, if your going to try the XS version. Move quickly because it relaxes quickly to a texturized in 5 minutes and bone straight in 10 with smoothing

Overall, I am pleased with it and will be using it again

hmmm....interesting. Have you ever used Revlon Realistic lye? I am wondering how they compare. I am currently using that in super to texturize and leave it on for 20+ minutes and it's still quite curly/wavy.

Wow, I've never heard of an x-tra strength relaxer. Thanx for the review

 

[CurlyCrly]

armyqt, I'm thinking that xstrength is basically a super because they have gentle, normal, and extra strength.

 

[CurlyCrly]

I just did a search and read other posts about the elucence extra strength. Others said that it was more like a regular strength relaxer. So, I guess I'll stay away from it. It probably won't do much for me and I didn't want to buy a relaxer that I couldn't get locally anyway.

Thanks Curlycrly! I was wondering. But I have used Elucence before and their relaxers seem to be very mild.

CurlyCurly, I haven't used Revlon but comparing regular Elucence with xtra strength, the XS version is much stronger at least on my hair.

I've used it and it's very good.

 

[ichephren]

where do you buy the elucence relaxer?

 

[ichephren]

Bumping...I really need this info. I know that some ladies said that it can be bought from pleasantimage.com but don't I need a professional license? Is there any way of me getting this relaxer without one? Thank you in advance.

 

[BrEE]

if you live in florida you wont be able to get it without your hair dresser's license. but anywhere else they'll let you slide and purchase it at pleastantimage.com.

btw icephren i havent replied to your pm yet cause the site isnt letting me check my mail.

No license needed. I just got mine the other day and I sure don't have a license. The order went through and I am awaiting delivery. Don't be afraid, just order.
