If you relaxe your hair what is your best releaxer used? I found the Doo Gro has a new relaxer of their own now. I have tried it and been impressed but I have had better. What are you using?

I was recommended by a friend to use African Pride products. They use jasmine that's not so damaging. I found this video on how to apply. http://www.vimeo.com/3786772

DR. MIRACLE IS A WONDERFUL RELAXER I USE TO USE IT BUT PPL WOULD ALWAYS BE LIKE YOUR HAIR IS GOING TO FALL OUT SO I STOP USING IT.LAST WEEK WAS MY FIRST TIME USING SILK ELEMENTS AND I JUST LOVE. I DONT REALLY THINK THERE IS A BEST RELAXER OUT. ITS WHAT WORKS WELL WITH YOUR HAIR I THINK

I never really cared. As long as it TRIES to not be drying.

I hear Affirm and Mizani are the best ones ever, though.

I love using the optimum care anti-breakage therapy perm! It gets my hair extremely soft and straight and it has this thing called oleo ceramide r that penetrates the hair and recontstructs as it strightens hair! Now that i think about how much i love the perm i should of went with the hair products! Rolling Eyes

I HATE Dr. Miracles! Turned my hair red brown in the front and broke it off. I'm still trying to grow it back! I used optimum, I had amazing results with it.

In my relaxer days, I have tried every product under the sun. However, I must agree that the affirm relaxer was entirely too strong.

The best relaxers in my opinion are as follows:
Profectiv- foam relaxes the hair without the addition of extremely harsh chemicals
Creme of Nature- mild and gentle no matter what the strength
Mizani- can be effective, but should only be used by a professional
Parnevu- makes the hair extremely straight
Vitale- gives body to the hair

Everything pales in comparison.

I have been using Organic root stimulator Olive oil perm for awhile, I feel it's the best perm ever. I have used Mizani which was too too strong and broke off my hair, it also dried it out. give Organic root stimulator a try I guarentee you won't be disapointed. It's very gentel on the scalp and the protein pack does wonders for the hair ( especially if you sit under the dryer for about 5-10 minutes).
