I recommend the motions neutralising shampoo for those looking for a good post-relaxer shampoo that shows colour. It is sulfate free and lathers pink, it's really good and leaves my hair quite soft. Thank you for the tips!
I can definitely agree with all of these. I've just gone back to the creamy crack after 6 yrs of being natural and these tips came in dang handy. My stylist thankfully uses her hand to part, apply and smooth and it has indeed made such a big difference.
Very helpful tips. And you’re correct... the neutralizing shampoos in the kits are way too small. I usually keep a separate large bottle of neutralizer on hand that does the color change. It’s very important. I wash my hair 3x... letting it sit for 5 minutes each time just to make sure I get all the chemicals out. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom with us. Much appreciated!
This is a very good relaxer. I used Optimum years ago when I graduated at high school and my hair was down to my waist and thick. It also had little to no breakage unlike other relaxers. I had a chop last yr due to a smoothing treatment. Should have stayed using this relaxer. Might start bk using it by next year.
My hair was good when I used this relaxer. I started using ORS & also went natural twice, used Affirm after the 2nd time. Definitely going back to this one
I used to use the Olive Oil Relaxer but my hair was breaking and shedding more. I switched to this relaxer and it makes my hair look much better, overall. People can tell I used a relaxer when It's time for my touch up with this one. So far, so good.
Great Advice! Very informative and straightforward! I love how you explained step by step everything you do to show how to properly apply and distribute throughout hair!
Thank you so much for all your advice, I have had so many bad experiences with relaxers I've had to literally cut all my hair off down to the new growth and go natural and working with natural hair was a struggle for me because of my debilitating arthritis...and since this pandemic my regular hairstylist stop doing hair so I was on my own and while strolling through TH-cam I came upon your channel and when I tell you, you had to be God sent...I've looked at everyone of your vlogs and I just want to thank you again, I know this is a little lengthy please forgive me 🙏🏽💜💜
Thank you, I have gotten all the products you use and I have to say my hair breakage is nill to none, when I was combing out a styrofoam cup full everytime I combed my hair...I can't say thank you enough🙏🏽💜💜
Chile, my scalp is very sensitive. Also, I tell people to not scratch their scalp, prior to relaxing. Many of those rat tail methods is old school, and it caused so much breakage. Love the video!!!
God bless you! Your hair is beautiful! Dark and Lovely neutralizing shampoo goes from pink to white. Thanks so much for the info., it helps and some of your ideas, I already do.
Thank you for watching 💕 and letting me know about the shampoo. I was so curious about other relaxer kits. Lol. I heard great things about dark and lovely relaxer. Not as drying as most relaxers.
What are your steps? I watched your “wash day” videos but during your relaxing, do you do the same routine with the conditioning? I use something else instead your normal routine, which I LOVE to do as well, and now I feel like I done wrong 😂 I’m trying to follow and get your length!! Your videos are awesome! Thanks
So helpful! I saw the soft sheen relaxer at a hair store near me and I was going to buy it but I was skeptical. I haven’t relaxed my hair since 2015 and I want to do it right lol. But after watching your video I definitely know what product to get. And the neutralizing shampoo tip is very helpful
I use ors it doesn't change colour , but I let it sit on my hair after 3 wash, and i deep condition with separate condition the one in the kit is too small
Is optimum better than olive oil? I'm about to relax my natural hair. I've been using relaxers all my life, devil possessed me to do a big chop and its been the worst 2 years of my life with this natural hair nonsense. So I need to relax again 😑 Yeah,so which is it, optimum or olive oil ORS relaxer
Hello. This literally had me laughing because I know the natural hair struggle. Tried it for a year and it was rough. Lol. I would DEFINITELY go with the optimum defy breakage relaxer. It is infused with ceramides to help strengthen the hair; as well a coconut oil to help retain moisture .... so it’s a win win for me. That said many people love the ORS relaxer. I’ve heard it doesn’t leave hair as dry as other relaxers. I still would go with optimum and take extra steps to make sure my hair remains moisturized. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching ❤️
Have you had any dryness or stiffness with this relaxer? It seems great but.. Since it's no-lye, they're known to leave calcium deposits on the hair that cause those effects. If not, what chelating shampoo do you use? I was using hawaiian silky lye which was fine, then switched to motions lye for the last year which caused SO much breakage /shedding for me. So I'm considering this if I don't go back to hawaiian! But I've always used lye due to the dryness/ stiffness that can come with no-lye.
Thank you for watching 💕 and thanks for letting me know about the neutralizing shampoo lol. I wish they all had that color indicator!!! It’s so helpful
I know 😩Fortunately some beauty supply stores still carry it. But you cant order online anywhere. Amazon will occasionally have it for sale… but the price is ridiculous!
Hello! I usually give my scalp a day or two to rest after the manipulation of removing my braids. I found that it’s the best way to prevent burns/ scalp irritation when I relax after taking down my protective style.
@@IannaYvonne ok great. I took mine out a week ago today and I purchased the Optimum Relaxer yesterday. I hope that it works well for me. Wish me luck. 😊
I’m relaxed. Although I do know that perms curl and relaxers straighten, It’s a habit from my youth to use the terms interchangeably... most people understood... and just took the info lol. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hello! Thanks for watching ❤️No lye relaxers can lead to calcium build up. If you notice excessive dryness/brittleness this could be the case. If so a clarifying shampoo should help. I don’t have this issue( have never experienced it) and I’ve only ever used no lye relaxers. So I believe damage from calcium buildup is rare.
Hello. It is recommended to wait until after the baby is born before relaxing so that the chemicals don’t entire the blood stream and have adverse effects on the baby.
I recommend the motions neutralising shampoo for those looking for a good post-relaxer shampoo that shows colour. It is sulfate free and lathers pink, it's really good and leaves my hair quite soft. Thank you for the tips!
Thanks got the info!! And thank you for watching 💕
@Annette Do you use the Motions relaxer?
@@rockygirlstevenson3568 No I use ORS Lye relaxer. I tried no-lye and my hair is not as silky.
I can definitely agree with all of these. I've just gone back to the creamy crack after 6 yrs of being natural and these tips came in dang handy. My stylist thankfully uses her hand to part, apply and smooth and it has indeed made such a big difference.

The olive ors I hate. I've been using for years and my hair so extremely dry brittle and sheds like crazy. Hopefully this one is better
@@sonique2255 It is much better, used it for over 20 years/ Unfortunately, it's been discontinued.
I used Optimum Relaxer a few days ago and I was so impressed!! Really want to use more of their products now.
These tips are spot on!! 👍🏽Relaxer burns are the worst!!
The worst!! I almost considered going natural because my scalp was so sensitive but this kits helped tremendously. Lol. Thanks for watching 💕

How long do you wait to relax your hair after taking your braids out?

Is it true that no-lye relaxers form calcium deposits onto hair, to the point where conditioners don't penatrate as well as they should?
Hello! Thanks for watching ❤️No lye relaxers can lead to calcium build up. If you notice excessive dryness/brittleness this could be the case. If so a clarifying shampoo should help.

Yup it’s very true! Used no lye twice, never again!
Thank you so much for your response!! 😀☺️❤️ I'm seeing this after the fact...@@IannaYvonne
