Date Posted: September 23 2003 at 5:02pm We compared Dark & Lovely Beautiful Beginnings no-lye children's relaxer system and Dark & Lovely super-strength no-lye conditioning relaxer with their regular-strength brandmate. The super-strength relaxer was significantly more damaging to the hair than the regular-strength formula. The kid's relaxer was significantly less damaging, though it was not as mild as Bone Strait, Curl Free, or Rusk Radical. How old should a child be before having her hair chemically straightened? The older, the better, our consultant advises. She should be no younnger than 8, but waiting until puberty is preferable. Consumer Reports September 1999 ------------- Brigitte
