This guide is for individuals seeking a conditioning relaxer system that helps rebuild and restore hair. The key benefit is achieving silky, soft, and healthy straight hair with a shiny finish, thanks to its Extra Virgin Olive Oil formulation. A potential caveat for international buyers is the possibility of import tax and duty charges.

'No Lye' indicates that the relaxer does not contain sodium hydroxide, a common ingredient in traditional lye relaxers. This can be gentler on the scalp and hair, potentially reducing the risk of breakage and dryness.
Relaxer application should typically be limited to new growth (roots) every 6-8 weeks, or as needed based on your hair's growth rate and condition. Avoid overlapping the relaxer onto previously straightened hair.
A strand test involves applying the relaxer to a small, hidden section of hair to determine how long it takes to achieve the desired straightness and to check for any adverse reactions to the chemicals. It's crucial for preventing damage and ensuring optimal results.
It is generally not recommended to relax hair that is heavily color-treated or bleached, as this can increase the risk of severe damage and breakage. Always perform strand and patch tests if considering use on chemically treated hair.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is included for its moisturizing and restorative properties. It helps to condition the hair during the relaxing process, minimizing dryness and promoting a healthy shine.
This product is a chemical relaxer that straightens the hair's natural curl pattern. While the straightening effect is long-lasting on the treated hair shaft, new hair growth will retain its natural texture.
Ensure the relaxer is not left on longer than recommended. Perform a patch test before full application. Rinse thoroughly with neutralizing shampoo if irritation occurs.
Ensure thorough neutralization and deep conditioning post-relaxer. Use moisturizing hair products and avoid over-processing. Consider a less frequent relaxer schedule.
Check if the correct strength was used for hair type. Ensure the relaxer was applied evenly and left on for the recommended time (based on strand test). Re-application should only be done on new growth, not previously relaxed hair.
Setup: Always follow the instructions provided in the product packaging carefully. This typically involves mixing the relaxer components according to the guide and applying to dry, detangled hair, section by section. Ensure all necessary tools (applicator brush, gloves, timer, neutralization shampoo) are ready before starting.
Compatibility: This is a 'Regular' strength no-lye relaxer. It is generally suitable for most hair types seeking straightening, but it is always recommended to perform a strand test and a patch test before full application to check for adverse reactions and assess processing time.
Care: After using the relaxer and neutralizing shampoo, follow up with a deep conditioning treatment. Maintain straightened hair with sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling and tight hairstyles that can cause breakage. Regular deep conditioning treatments are essential to keep relaxed hair healthy and moisturized.
