Africa's Best Kids Organics Conditioning Relaxer System - Regular

Africa's Best Kids Organics Conditioning Relaxer System - Regular is specially formulated for young, delicate hair with a no-lye formula and moisturizing ingredients. However, always perform the recommended strand and patch tests 24-48 hours prior to use to check for sensitivity and suitability.

A no-lye relaxer uses a different chemical compound (like guanidine carbonate) to straighten hair, which is generally considered gentler than traditional lye-based relaxers (calcium hydroxide), reducing the risk of scalp irritation.

The processing time varies depending on hair type and texture, but the kit instructions will specify the recommended duration. It is crucial to follow these times exactly to avoid damaging the hair.

It is generally not recommended to use a relaxer on chemically treated, color-treated, or bleached hair, as it can lead to severe damage, breakage, or unpredictable results.

This system is enriched with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Carrot Oil, Soy Protein, Vitamin E, Cholesterol, and Tea Tree Oil to help protect and condition the hair.

Relaxers should typically be applied only to new growth (the virgin hair). Re-touch applications should be done every 6-8 weeks or longer, depending on hair growth and condition, to avoid overlapping onto previously relaxed hair.

If any signs of severe irritation, burning, or discomfort occur during the patch or strand test, or during application, rinse the product out immediately and thoroughly with water. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.

Immediately rinse the product from the hair. Ensure you have applied the protective gel generously to the scalp and hairline before application. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Ensure proper conditioning during and after the relaxing process. Use a deep conditioner and moisturizing leave-in treatments. Avoid excessive heat styling.

Check if the correct processing time was followed and if the product was applied evenly. For very resistant hair, a subsequent application might be considered after a sufficient waiting period and with careful assessment, but always follow product instructions.

This can be due to over-processing or lack of moisture. Ensure proper conditioning, use gentle detangling methods, and avoid harsh styling. If breakage is severe, consult a professional stylist.
