The straigtening cream has egg and soya extract. The liquid inductor that is mixed with the cream contains mushroom salt.KAddy said:mushroom salt??? :scratchch
Here is info from the website:
PhytoRelaxer is a luxurious experience of long-lasting control, manageability and versatility.

Guanidine Carbonate is an alkaline, organic salt utilized primarily as an ingredient in hair straightening and depilatory systems. When combined with calcium hydroxide in (no-lye) hair relaxers it reacts to form a less irritating system than sodium hydroxide-based (lye) systems. It also is used as a buffering agent and a pH adjuster.

It didn't break your hair off did it? That's my main concern is that my hair will say "Oh hell to NO, this new ish we ain't havin'", And then up and leave my head!
Armyqt said:Okay it seems the active ingredient in this relaxer is Guanidine Carbonate. Here's one definition I found on it.

I am assuming that it is not combined with calcium hydroxide (since it's not listed as an ingedient) and is serving as the stand alone activator that does the straightening. This could explain why it acts differntly than a regular no-lye relaxer.

I know I'm not going to let my hair stylist apply this if I purchase it (that would be too much mula). If I decide to purchase this relaxer, I'll let my sister-in-law that's a hair stylist apply it for F R E E.ms_kenesha said:Keeping this foremost in my mind now, but if I get this I'm most definitely self-relaxing because this product is EXPENSIVE!
