Those of you that are relaxed, what relaxer do you use? and how do you like it? Im due for one next month so i want to find out with one to use next. Preferably a lye relaxer. ive tried revlon realistic regular which did not relax my hair one bit and motions oil which gave me underprocessed hair the two times i used it. Due to this, im seriouslt battling 3 different hair texture. dry, no-lye, damaged ends, underprocessed middle and manageable new growth (sometimes). Thanks.....

I use Phytorelaxer. It's great. The only problem is my mom does and she's not used to do it so she's not good at smoothing.

My mother loves Mizani, I use CON mild. It doesn't get my hair bone straight but I dont like it too straight.

I use to use Hawaiian Silky.  If your hair is fine, I suggest Mizani mild, because Hawaiian Silky mild is still strong.

I've heard great things about Hawaiian silky but I heard that Mizani can be really drying. Have you experienced that Sista? I switched from CON to Vitale and I like it. Processing time was quick and my hair didn't feel like hay afterwards. Not to mention it made my hair silky straight.

Soft and Beautiful!!! I was a former Mizani addict until my hair went semi- retro on me

I recently switched from Motions (my hair was not responding to this at all anymore) to Soft and Beautiful. The results were great! My hair came out incredibly soft and silky, but not too straight. I love it!
