Unfortunately, my curls are way out of control, and I`m going to straighten them. Lisa Castillo`s article has me sold on Phytospecific Phytorelaxer. Many of you will think I`m crazy, but as I guy I feel wierd about going into a salon to get my hair relaxed. So, rather than going to some random hair dresser, I`d rather take a shot at doing it myself. Okay, long story short. What do I need in addition to the basic relaxing kit. Lisa mentioned an application brush and wide toothed comb. Anything else? Secondly, as women I have no idea how you keep up with all the products out there. After relaxing should I be using leave-in conditioner? Is towel drying my hair good enough? Am I making this too complicated? WC Replies:
