The African Pride Dream Kids Olive Miracle Relaxer Kit - Coarse Kit is designed for parents seeking to gently straighten their children's coarse hair while caring for a sensitive scalp. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, manageable finish that reduces the likelihood of breakage and dryness. A potential caveat is the need for careful application due to the relaxer's nature. This all-in-one system includes a no-lye relaxer, neutralising shampoo, and a detangling conditioner, all infused with nourishing ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, African shea butter, and herbal extracts.

This relaxer is formulated for children's delicate hair and sensitive scalps. However, a patch test and strand test are mandatory before full application to ensure there are no adverse reactions.
A no-lye relaxer uses different chemicals (like Guanidine Carbonate) that are generally considered less harsh and less likely to cause scalp irritation compared to traditional lye relaxers (which use Sodium Hydroxide).
The straightening effect is semi-permanent. Hair will grow out with its natural texture. Regular touch-ups may be needed as new growth appears, following the kit's guidelines.
It is not recommended to use chemical relaxers on hair that is already significantly damaged, as it can worsen the condition. Consult a professional stylist for damaged hair treatments.
The formula includes extra virgin olive oil, African shea butter, and various herbal oil extracts, which are known for their moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Use the included neutralising shampoo and detangling conditioner. Afterward, maintain a routine with moisturizing shampoos and conditioners suitable for relaxed hair, and minimize heat styling.
A strand test involves applying the relaxer to a small, hidden section of hair to check how it reacts and to determine the optimal processing time. It helps prevent over-processing or under-processing and potential damage.
Ensure you are not stretching the relaxer onto the scalp and that the relaxer is not applied to broken or irritated skin. If irritation is severe, rinse immediately.
This could indicate over-processing or insufficient conditioning. Ensure thorough rinsing with the neutralising shampoo and deep conditioning with the provided conditioner. Follow up with regular moisturizing treatments.
Check if the correct kit for hair type (Coarse) was used and if the processing time was adhered to as per the strand test. Ensure the relaxer was applied evenly.
Make sure the neutralising shampoo was used thoroughly to remove all relaxer residue. Apply the detangling conditioner generously and detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb starting from the ends.
Setup: Before use, conduct a strand test and a patch test according to the kit's instructions to check for any adverse reactions or to determine the processing time. Ensure you have all components laid out and read through the entire process. Protect clothing with a towel and wear gloves.
Compatibility: This kit is designed for children's coarse hair and is a no-lye formula. It is not recommended for hair that is already heavily processed, extremely damaged, or has been previously relaxed with a lye-based product. Always perform strand tests.
Care: After relaxing, use the included neutralising shampoo to thoroughly rinse out the relaxer. Follow with the detangling conditioner and rinse. For ongoing care, use gentle shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for relaxed or treated hair. Regular deep conditioning treatments are recommended. Avoid heat styling excessively and protect hair from environmental damage.
