Dark & Lovely No-Lye Hair Relaxer Kit - Super Strength

It is generally recommended to use this relaxer for touch-ups on new growth every 6 to 8 weeks. Avoid relaxing your entire head of hair frequently, as this can lead to over-processing and damage.

This relaxer is not generally recommended for color-treated, bleached, or highlighted hair due to the increased risk of damage. If your hair is colored, it is best to consult a professional stylist or wait until your hair is significantly grown out and healthy before considering relaxation.

If the relaxer gets into your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of cool water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention promptly, as chemical contact with eyes can cause serious injury.

Yes, using a neutralizing shampoo is absolutely essential. It stops the chemical action of the relaxer, removes all residue, and restores your hair's natural pH balance. Failing to neutralize properly can lead to continued processing and severe damage to your hair.

The straightening effect will last until your new hair growth becomes noticeable, which typically occurs within 6 to 8 weeks. The previously relaxed hair will remain straight, but new growth will require a touch-up.

Yes, this product is suitable for anyone with coarse or thick hair seeking to achieve a straighter, more manageable style, regardless of gender. The application and care instructions remain the same.

While this is a no-lye formula designed for scalp comfort, individual sensitivity varies. Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin 48 hours before full application. If you experience unusual irritation, refrain from using the product. Avoid scratching your scalp for at least 72 hours before relaxing.

This can indicate insufficient processing time, uneven application, or the hair being too resistant for the chosen strength. Re-relaxing immediately is not recommended. Allow hair to rest for at least 6-8 weeks before another touch-up. Ensure next time you conduct a thorough strand test to determine optimal timing and apply the product evenly and thoroughly.

Immediately rinse the relaxer from your hair and scalp using lukewarm water. Follow with a generous application of neutralizing shampoo. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional. Ensure you apply petroleum jelly to your hairline and scalp before application and do not scratch your scalp for several days prior to relaxing.

This can be due to over-processing, insufficient conditioning, or inadequate post-relaxation care. Increase your deep conditioning treatments to at least once a week. Incorporate daily leave-in conditioners and moisturizing hair lotions. Minimize heat styling and protect your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf/bonnet. Trim any damaged ends.

Uneven application is the most common cause. Ensure the relaxer is applied quickly and evenly across all sections, especially targeting new growth without overlapping. Work in small, manageable sections. For future applications, consider having someone assist you for better coverage, particularly at the back of your head.

Chemical relaxers are strong and can stain. Immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Always wear old clothes and drape an old towel over your shoulders during application. Apply petroleum jelly liberally to exposed skin areas around the hairline, ears, and neck to create a protective barrier.
