I was considering switching relaxers and I just realised that Phytospecific has a relaxer line that appears to cater to Black people.

Anyone ever try it? Or any of thier other products?

I am looking for recommendations from Black people with African texture hair. No Indians, European Latinas, Douglas, etc.

never even heard of the company, but yuh have hard hair??

what are you using right now?

My natural hair is like brillo pad that has been wet and left to dry for a year.

I use Mizani relaxer but I have been reading some good things about this relaxer and I looking to change up regime and see if that stimulates more hair growth (run on sentence)

my beautician wanted to use it on me last year, but I was not paying her $110 to relax my hair with that stuff!!!!! I'm not sure if the actual relaxer is expensive, but I told her that I'll stick with Mizani (easier on my pockets)
It has good reviews (check below link)

Yeah, my stylist will not charge anywhere close to that. I have been using Mizani for some years now and it not really doing anything for me.

As you mention this link, I just pull it up on google. Thanks!

yeah i use the mizani sensitive and it's only $5 more, so i eh mind. cuz my hair is not hard, but rastafari dis shit is thick. the new growth is like a forest and i only let the owner of the shop do my hair, young gyuls CANNOT tackle it.

it annoys me though, cuz i get it done like every 8/9 weeks and in week 7 and 8 i jus hate life, de ting does be outta control!!

I hear you because only the owner doing my hair. I do not play that at all!!!

I get mine relaxed about every 3-4 months. I actually just start to use the Dr. Miracle's antibreakage hair creme. It tingles. My cousin, who is a hairdresser in Toronto, swears by the hair crme and grease.

Socadiva, I was using Affirm but then BAM, it just stopped working.

I go give this a shot in Feb.

how much does it cost? i eh want to buy it and know i'll only use it for the first 3 -4 weeks after i relax mih hair

See, I have a really nice hairdresser. I use my own shampoo and my own conditioners. She will most likely charge me about $35.00 for relaxer that I bring in myself. And she will make the thing stretch for at least two applications. Which means six months for me.

I will report in February on how it looks. Wish me look.

I'm a little skeptical because it claims to straighten your hair with egg and soya (did you read the ingredients?).
Can I break an egg and add soya and put in my hair for less?

If I'm going to spend that much on hair products, it should last me for a couple of months (get to re use it often)
