It relaxes the curl beautifully, doesn't burn, doesn't smell and didn't damage my hair. I still have curl in my hair, but it only took me 10 minutes to blow it perfectly straight where it usually takes 45. You might want to consider trying this product. Good luck.



I just read about Rusk on the internet. How does your hair hold up in the humidity?

I have a great tip for you. Yes I have wavy hair to and yes I have tryed relaxing my hair!! If you want bone-straight hair it just wont work after your done with the relaxer, you have to blow-dry it and then you can straighten it with a curling iron, it works great!

Hi

I too am a white girl and I have extremely curly frizzy "large" hair. I have straightened my hair once,and the comments made above are right. You will still have the wave or curl depending on your texture of hair. However, I have just purchased the Phytorelaxer products and intend using this on my hair. I expect the hair to be dry and brittle and I know that I will have to apply conditioning treatments constantly. But figured its worth a shot. What ever you decide - Good Luck -
