What do you mix in your relaxer?

[KAT25]

Hey Ladies
I was wondering what you all mix in your relaxer? I am getting ready for a relaxer soon and I am going to be using a lye relaxer and just thought I would get some add in ideas from my girls.

I did that once and used jojoba oil. I may have put too much and/or not left the relaxer in long enough because my new growth was not bone straight (which is what I was aiming for). Now that I use BT, I dare not mix anything in my relaxer becasue my ng is out of this world!

When I did use the jojoba oil in my relaxer, the relaxer did feel more nourishing. HTH!​

I use the relaxer as is. I'm afraid that I'll mess it up so I leave it alone.

I mix about a fourth-a half a cup of olive oil into it. It slows down the relaxer a bit...

Im not going to be relaxing anymore though so...

I'm natural, but I relax my sister's hair. I put a good amount of olive oil in her relaxer. She's transitioning to texlaxed, so the hair doesn't come out bone straight at all.

Olive oil my favorite mix in.

I've also read a lot of ladies here using different types of conditioners.
