Whatever Happened to the Naturalaxer & Bodiphier?

[options]

Did these "natural relaxers" go the way of Rio and Copa? Years ago, they seemed to be all the rage, but now I never hear anything about them. Did anyone here use them? What were your results? Are these companies still in business?

I used the Naturalaxer for a year to texturize my hair. My hair wouldn't get staight enough and so I switched back to Optimum. I think it might work well for someone with either fine hair or 3A/B hair. But not on me.

I used the bodiphier back when I was natural and it barely loosened the curl on my 4a/b hair. The bodiphier company is still in business, I got a flyer from them a couple of weeks ago.

What is the chemical or straightening ingredient in these products? Did either of you experience any other undesireable effect, like breakage, dryness, hard hair, etc.?

 

[Queenie]

There are no chemicals in Naturalaxer just natural ingredients. I had breakage after I started blow drying my hair weekly. Everything else was fine.

I wouldn't touch bodiphier with a barge pole. It makes your hair dry and brittle aqnd barely does a thing to the hair. It's pointless. You're better off using a mild lye relaxer or leaving it on for a very short period of time.
