First of all I’d like to say thank-you to all the ladies who recommended silk elements lye relaxer. My hair is so moisturised, healthy and silky now with NO DRYNESS. This is my best relaxer experience my few years of relaxing, and you know what I DIDN’T BURN ONE BIT.
I went to Sally’s this morning and picked up the regular formula and their moisturising conditioner. I decided to skip purchased their neutralising poo, when I saw the price. I got the one by proclaim. Some of you remembered how upset I was to find out that my hair was underprocessed 5 weeks ago with Elasta QP no lye, and my last stylist feathered my hair with a razor, which screwed up my ends even more.
I was seriously considering cutting of all my texturized ends, however taking advice from you ladies, especially miziani mami, and after reading numerous good reviews of silk elements I decided it was the way to go as a last resort. I’m so glad I did.
My good friend and natural hair stylist, Anne came to do my hair she, based my scalp with Vaseline and got the relaxer on my head in 3mintures, she used a fine tooth comb as my hair is resistant and thick.
We followed the timing guide of 22 minutes for coarse hair as I had a fair amount of new growth, she thoroughly rinsed out the relaxer, and neutralised with proclaim, before she slapped the conditioner on, I took a glance at my hair in the mirror I couldn’t believe how shiny, soft and healthy my hair looked and this is BEFORE I PUT THE CONDITIONER ON.
I sat under the drier for 15-20 minutes, and had it rinsed out I really loved the way my hair felt. Anne applied the Elasta QP leave in Styling lotion, on damp hair followed by keracare oil moisturiser with jojoba oil and keracare essential oils, and blow dried my hair straight, she did a 2 inch blunt cut, to even up my hair and remove split ends,
Its A SHAME my hair was bra-strap length, now its arm pit length, but I’m happy that my hair is healthier now. I plan to keep my ends healthier by using my baggy method and I will never let go of silk elements. I’m really getting the PJ twitch the other silk elements conditioners ingredients sounds so good, I’m heading back to Sally’s this week.
PS. KIZZY I PICKED UP THE MILD FOR YOU, I WILL POST IT ON WEDNESDAY.

Den look at the shine and silkyness. I gotta try it now...bye bye Dudley.
I'm under pressure from my hubby because he wants me to keep it relaxed. He doesn't understand that my hair refuses to relax. Has anyone else used SE as a corrective relaxer and what techniques did you use? I am 8 weeks post and my last CR was ORS. My hair at the nape refuses to relax and my sides are texlaxed. I can't get a strait style and I have a semi curly wash n go. Will this relaxer help me get my hair strait? I am just at a loss as to what to do. I don't want to BC again. If I can get a relaxer that will get my hair strait, it will solve alot of problems.
I think you're right though. Perhaps relaxed hair is just not for me. A texturizer will slightly lessen my shrinkage. I was only gonna remain relaxed for my hubby. It's more fun for me to long transition.
