Leona2025, I've used for the past 2 yrs Ors which was just ok to me, but then in Sept I really wanted to try the Mizani butter blends mild, which I can honestly say that I did not care for it whatsoever!!!! In the past I've been using mild for many years but for some reason it did not take, and I left it on past 15min. 2 days later I could'nt take not having my hair straight the way I wanted, so I relaxed it again and still did not take. So I will have to find another relaxer, maybe in regular strength. I really want to try the lye one by alter ego that I've heard such rave reviews about. I only relax every 4 months so I have to wait til mid Dec to try it. It's the Linange Shea butter relaxer. I still am not sure what my hair type is I think between 3b and 4a. I normally had thick hair, but had a lot of loss due to meds, but since being on this site and taking the advice of some wonderful ladies here and using the MT and the OCT it's coming back to my normal thickness! Shut out to all of you ladies for being so helpful and sharing with the rest of us about our hair and how to maintain, keep, and grow it! It's working!!!

What brand relaxer do you use? Mizani Butter Blend--Normal strength

What is your hair type? 4a
Is your hair thick or fine? thick. In the past, I used to use super/coarse, but I like more texture and thickness to my hair, so I use regular/normal now.

Have any relaxers left you underprocessed? Yes. I purposely underprocessed my hair when I was texlaxing. Now, I'm no longer texlaxing, so I no longer underprocess. I also used Mizani when I was texlaxing.

Ladies I thank you for your many responses. You guys may have stop me from popping up on here all bald. After my previous 3 touch ups didn't take I had decided to use super, but after seeing the poll and how few people use super I had a change of heart. I relaxed with a regular ORS and my hair came out great except for a little triangle of hair at my crown which is were my coarse texture is. It's not unbearable and I kinda like it. Thanks again.

I use Mizani BB Regular, now...Before that, Optimum, Revlon, and Affirm. My hair type is 4a with a smattering of 4b at the nape. My hair is thick. No, no relaxer has ever left me underprocessed. That's why when my stylist snuck some Super on my hair, I was very PO'ed, b/c my hair always 'takes' the relaxer...
 
Silk Elements Lye Mild (I'm thinking about switching to Mizani BB after I finish off this SE in about 2 weeks though)
4bish
Thick
Motions left me underprocessed. That stuff was horrible.

Have any relaxers left you underprocessed?When I used ORS it left my hair underprocesses. It's weird... I have been relaxing myself since I was 16 and I've never been underprocessed until I used ORS. I'm hoping HS won't leave my hair as dry and GT no-lye.

When I was relaxed I used a mild relaxer and it got my hair bone straight. I would usually have total application and smoothing time of 5 minutes, maybe 6. I have very fine hair. I wanted to texlax but since it only takes 5 minutes to get my hair bone straight with a mild texture I would have no clue how to get it to retain the majority of the curl pattern.

I just started using Creme of Nature again, I used regular, but I might go to super next time.

My hair type is 3c/4a---I think, I know it's thick.

Yeah it's very thick, even with the relaxer, it's thicky thick......but I'm not whinning.

Hawaiian Silky, Dark and Lovely, and Optimum left me under process, Creme of Nature straightens my hair more. I like it straighter.
 
What brand relaxer do you use?
I use Optimum (regular)

What is your hair type?
I haven't been able to find that out LOL.

:bump: I'd love to hear more responses. I'm about to self-relax with Affirm Fiberguard (no-Lye) and I have fine to medium relaxed (close to bone straight) hair strands. Normal or Mild? What do you all do, regardless of the relaxer you are using...
