FAQs

How often can I use the ORS Olive Oil Girls Conditioning Relaxer System?

It is generally recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks between relaxer applications to allow hair to grow and minimize stress on the scalp and strands. Always perform a strand test before re-applying.

What is a strand test and why is it important?

A strand test involves applying the relaxer to a small, inconspicuous section of hair to determine the correct processing time for your specific hair type and condition. This helps prevent over or under-processing.

Can I use this relaxer on color-treated hair?

It is not recommended to use this relaxer on recently color-treated hair. Wait at least two weeks after coloring. Using it on chemically treated hair can lead to unpredictable results and increased damage.

What should I do if I accidentally get relaxer on my scalp?

If you experience discomfort or burning, rinse the affected area immediately with cool water. If the irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

Does this relaxer contain lye?

No, this is a 'no-lye' conditioning relaxer system, which is generally considered gentler on the scalp compared to traditional lye-based relaxers.

What does 'built-in protection' mean?

The 'built-in protection' refers to the formula's design to help prevent the relaxer from processing the hair too much, reducing the risk of breakage and damage from over-processing.

How do I prepare my daughter's hair before applying the relaxer?

Do not shampoo hair for at least 2-3 days before relaxing to allow natural oils to protect the scalp. Detangle hair thoroughly before application.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels dry or brittle after relaxing

Ensure thorough rinsing and conditioning. Use a deep conditioner regularly and consider reducing heat styling. Check if hair was over-processed; ensure strict adherence to timing for future applications.

Scalp irritation during application

Immediately rinse the relaxer if irritation becomes severe. Ensure the protective barrier was applied correctly and not bypassed. Perform a patch test to confirm sensitivity before future use.

Hair is not straight enough

Verify that the relaxer was applied evenly and completely saturated. Ensure the processing time was adequate based on the strand test. Consider if hair type requires a stronger formula (if available and appropriate).

Hair feels gummy or mushy

This indicates over-processing. Rinse immediately and follow with a neutralizing shampoo and a protein treatment. In the future, significantly reduce the processing time and ensure a strand test is performed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning. Perform a strand test and a patch test 24-48 hours prior to full application.
  2. Protection: Apply a protective pre-treatment (like petroleum jelly) along the hairline, ears, and nape of the neck. Protect clothing with a towel or cape.
  3. Mixing & Application: Mix the relaxer components as directed in the kit. Apply the relaxer evenly to small sections of hair, avoiding the scalp, starting from the nape of the neck and moving upwards. Ensure no overlap on previously relaxed hair.
  4. Processing: Follow the recommended timing strictly, based on the strand test results. Do not exceed the maximum time specified.
  5. Rinsing & Neutralizing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply the neutralizing shampoo included in the kit, lathering until the suds are completely gone, then rinse again. Follow with the conditioner provided.

Compatibility:

  • This system is designed for virgin or natural hair that has not been previously chemically treated (e.g., dyed, permed).
  • Avoid using on hair that is already damaged, brittle, or has been recently bleached.
  • If hair has been recently dyed, wait at least two weeks before using this relaxer.

Care:

  • After relaxing, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for relaxed or chemically treated hair.
  • Deep condition regularly to maintain moisture and elasticity.
  • Avoid excessive heat styling.
  • Trim ends as needed to prevent split ends.
