Which Relaxer are you using this minute???

[Teja]

Hey ,

Which relaxer are you using right now???Please state if you like it......how long you have used it ....and if you want to change it if yes to wich one....Has one of the listed relaxers caused you any trouble, breakage???

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[newflowers]

I use Phytospecific index 2 and have done so for about six years or so. The only way I would change is if Phtyo stopped making it. With the information and tips I've acquired from the ladies here, I don't have breakage from relaxing.

I use Silk Elements Lye (regular strength). If I can get my hands on Nairobi relaxer, I will switch. Until then, Silk Elements it is!!!

ETA: I forgot to answer the questions

I have used it for my past two relaxers. So far so good!!! I get great results!!

 

[Platinum]

My last two touch ups were with Just For Me. I have thick and coarse hair but this relaxer has given great results. It straightens well without burning. I love it. ORS Olive Oil Relaxer (lye) didn't do well on my hair.

I started using Mizani like three years ago and I only used it since because they claim to be a gentl relaxer. Now in the beginning I used NO lye. For my fine hair I did not know that I shouldn't be using that. I thought I texlaxed with it a year ago and after 10 minutes 8 in some places my hair was almost bone straight. Now after my transition I decided to try the Lye relaxer and I have so much more body and alot of thickness. However I used the Fine next time I am using regular. I have not experienced any burning with either relaxer. Where as I remember Affirm would.

Oh I use the BB

 

[TexturedTresses]

my last relaxer i used phyto index 2. i loved it and will use for as long as i can afford to. i should have bought more boxes during the sale. before that i used creme of nature herba riche (no-lye) which I've used for about 4 or 5 years almost steadily. It used to be the only relaxer that didn't burn.

 

[doll-baby]

I use Ors.

Ditto to everything. I Phytorelaxer index 2. I have used it for my last two relaxers which I believe would starting about 5 months ago.

 

[Toy]

I am using Profectiv Regular.

 

[J-Moe]

I use ORS, I LOVE IT!!! I've been using it for a couple of years, and I swear by it. It doesn't leave your to straight because, I love to have a little cushion and due to the fact that I stretch. I love the conditioner so much, it feels so good & I love this relaxer. HTH

 

[JDandBeyond]

PCJ Kids relaxer course Don't judge me! LOL My hair is soft, fine and thin and it has been doing the job for the past 8 - 10 years.

 

[MoniintheMiddle]

I just started using ORS no-lye...my first application was 2 weeks ago. SO far so good. It did not burn (I was 26 weeks post) and my hair was straight but not bone straight which is good.

 

[Brees_hair]

I use precise, no lye relaxer. Works wonders for my hair.

 

[HoneyDew]

Profectiv Regular.

I wish they would put a conditioner in the kit though.

No biggie - I use my own. But still.

I really love this relaxer otherwise.

 

[ksk_xs]

I use Affirm fiberguard, I was using the no-lye sensitive scalp and I just switched to the lye mild with my last relaxer. I've been using Fiberguard since my first relaxer since I started growing my hair back,which was a year ago. I think it's truly the best relaxer I've used with color-even when I flat ironed my hair once a week for about 2 months I didnt get damage. I've used Mizani and it made my hair too straight. I will say though that Fiberguard never gets my hair super straight. The original affirm does though.

 

[TG2000]

I use Phyto Index 1. I love the way my hair feels after the relaxer. It leaves my hair full with body!

 

[Seven7]

I have been using ORS no lye for about 6 or 7 years. I luv it but i think it might be time for a change.

 

[Purfectalibi]

Profectiv regular. My hair feels soft and strong after.

 

[SlantedEyezMiss2003]

I have just used Silk Elements Lye Regular and in the beginning, I liked it, and that was Dec 6, now it's the Dec 31st, and my hair looks like I haven't even had a relaxer, but I'm using OCT/BeeMine mix, so that could be the reason for so much growth, I liked it, but I might try Design Essentials or go back to Mizani Butter Blend Regular or Mild.......

 

[Coffee]

I'm using nairobi relaxer. I've been using it almost a year, and it's awesome!!

 

[JessCNU]

Design Essentials

 

[Lavendar]

I used Phyto 2 for the past almost 3 years, from the start of my hair journey. I tried Elucence Shea Butter lye relaxer at my last touch-up (Nov) and I love it! It was hard switching and I was scared to death, but I'm sooooo happy I did. The price difference speaks for itself, but the fact that my hair turned out thicker (I admit I accidently texlaxed some places) and silky makes it a definite keeper!

 

[Your Cheeziness]

My last relaxer I used ORS Lye for the first time. I'm normally a Mizani Momma. I didn't care for the way my hair felt when rinsing the relaxer, but by the time I finished my regimen, my hair looked and felt great. I'm almost 3 weeks post and my hair has retained moisture alot better than before with Mizani. I still am going to try Silk Elements in the future, though. BUt for now, I'm good with ORS Lye.

 

[LovinLea]

I just started using Hawaiian Silky Lye Regular. I've only used it once so far and this has been the first time I could stretch past 8 weeks without using braids.

 

[yuriko]

My last relaxer was with Hawaiian silky regular. It didn't burn, got my hair straight, but after, my hair was way too dry. So I am going back to Mizani BB

 

[WriterGirl]

My current stylist uses Affirm Sensitive Scalp no-lye.

I was using Design Essentials lye but it was thinning out my hair--it was bone strait see through lifeless . It could have been the application by my ex-stylist, though.

I always thought no-lye would be bad for my hair--but it has been thriving ever since on the Affirm and has gotten thicker and longer. I do have monitor it for moisture and I chelate every 6 weeks or so.

 

[Optimus_Prime]

I use Bantu no base relaxer w/shea butter in regular strength. I have very thick hair which was almost always dry before I used a good lye relaxer (and before I joined LHCF of course:wink2.

 

[tocthesunrise]

Silk Elements!!!!!!!!! I love this relaxer...and I've tried quite a few. I recently started using it and was honestly thinking it woundn't work.....MAN WAS I WRONG!!! It made my hair soft and silky. Me likey!!
