Extended Product Information

FAQs

How often can I use the Profectiv Mega Growth Anti Damage No Lye Relaxer?

It is generally recommended to relax hair only when new growth is present, typically every 6-8 weeks. Always perform strand and patch tests before each application.

What does 'Crème on Crème' formula mean?

This refers to a two-part crème system where the activator is mixed with the base crème just before application. This type of formula is often designed for a smoother, more controlled application and to ensure freshness of the active ingredients.

Can I use this relaxer on color-treated hair?

While this is a no-lye formula, it's still a chemical process. Using it on color-treated hair can lead to unpredictable results or further damage. Always perform a strand test on a small, hidden section of colored hair first. It is often best to wait at least two weeks after coloring before relaxing, or vice versa.

How do I know if I've processed the relaxer for the correct amount of time?

The strand test is crucial for this. It will show you how your hair reacts to the relaxer and the optimal time for straightening without damage. Follow the time indicated by your strand test, never exceeding the maximum time stated in the instructions.

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

Immediately rinse the affected area with cool water. If irritation or burning persists, wash thoroughly with shampoo and water and consult a medical professional.

Does this kit include a neutralizing shampoo?

The kit typically includes a neutralizing conditioner. It is essential to use a clarifying or neutralizing shampoo after rinsing out the relaxer to remove all traces of chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels brittle or dry after relaxing

Ensure thorough rinsing and follow immediately with a deep conditioning treatment. Avoid excessive heat styling for a few days. Consider a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for regular care.

Scalp irritation or burning sensation during application

Rinse the product out IMMEDIATELY with cool water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Ensure you did not skip the patch test and that the relaxer did not come into prolonged contact with the scalp. Apply protective cream generously along the hairline.

Uneven straightening or 'gaps' in application

This usually occurs due to improper application technique. Ensure sections are small and the product is applied evenly and quickly. For future applications, focus on thoroughly coating all new growth without overlapping onto previously relaxed hair.

Hair breakage after relaxing

This can indicate over-processing or that the hair was already compromised. Ensure strand tests are performed to determine correct timing. Focus on strengthening treatments and gentle handling of the hair. Avoid brushing wet hair vigorously.
