Product Information
Full details
The Just For Me Texture Softener Kit is designed for parents seeking to manage and ease the styling of children's (aged 5 and older) tightly curled hair. Its key benefit is loosening natural textures for easier combing and reduced tangling and breakage, without permanently straightening the hair. A caveat is that results can vary based on individual hair types and adherence to instructions.

Troubleshooting
Hair feels overly dry or brittle after use
Ensure you are thoroughly rinsing out all product and follow immediately with a deep conditioning treatment. Avoid over-processing on future applications and consider reducing the application time.
Softening effect is not as expected
Verify that the product was mixed and applied correctly according to instructions. Ensure the processing time was adequate, but also check that the strand test was representative of the overall hair.
Scalp irritation or discomfort during application
Rinse the product out immediately with cool water. Ensure you are not applying directly to the scalp and that the hair is not already irritated. Perform a patch test before future use.
Product did not loosen texture enough
Double-check the mixing ratios and application technique. Ensure hair was fully saturated. For future applications, consider slightly extending the processing time based on a strand test, ensuring to monitor hair for any signs of damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Follow the instructions in the kit precisely. This typically involves mixing the activator and relaxer cream, applying it carefully to the hair, and monitoring the processing time closely. A strand test is highly recommended before full application to check for any adverse reactions and to gauge processing time.
Compatibility: This product is designed for children aged 5 and older with tightly curled hair textures. It is also stated to be safe for previously relaxed hair. However, it is not recommended for use on hair that is severely damaged, brittle, or has other chemical treatments applied simultaneously.
Care: After use, follow with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Regular deep conditioning treatments can help maintain hair health. Avoid excessive heat styling, which can cause further damage. Gentle detangling with a wide-tooth comb is advised.
