PHYTO SPECIFIC Relaxer Index 2 Botanical No-Lye Relaxer

I read up on Phyto products and I was not so sure abt this product. I took a chance and bought the relaxer and can I just say,I will never buy a store relaxer again,I fell in love w/the Phyto relaxer and products. I ordered it and it came in very good condition. This is the best relaxer I ever used. My hair didn't come out thin,it came out thicker and fuller,it had a lot of body. Thanks Phyto

If you are wondering if those product works on type 4 hair, yes it does. My hair is bone straight now. LADIES THIS IS NOT RIO OR A BLOW OUT KIT.Just so you know, i have thick, corse, dry, super coiled hair naturally. my hair is soft to the touch and has a great shine after relaxing my hair.This product has exceded my expectation. its now my relaxer of choice.

I am a Black woman. I am half Nigerian so I have long hair. I get my hair relaxed during the Winter, and braided during the Summer. I use a dark brown rinse color on my hair, at the salon. I used the "PhytoSpecific PhytoRelaxer Index 2 - Normal, Thick, Resistant Hair" two/ 02 weeks ago, for the first time. I did not use the" PhytoSpecific PhytoRelaxer Index 1 - Delicate, Fine Hair" because my hair is kinky/ curly/ thick. You have to use the relaxer that is right for your hair type (+texture). I love this hair relaxer. My hair did not fall out. My edges are smooth. My hair is silky, shiny, strong, healthy, and growing. I got my hair done at the salon: Kadie Kalos Braiding and Styling in Woodbridge, Virginia, on 4219 Dale Blvd, (703) 730-1818. Kadie does any type of hair service. My scalp only burned a little not a lot. I used two/ 02 boxes of relaxer. I will review the Phyto Paris shampoo and conditioner latter. This product did not damage or discolor my hair. My hair is better than ever. This relaxer is supposed to be more natural and better for you health. Phyto products have been around for several years. Phyto products are more expensive than other hair products but they are totally worth the money. You can buy Phyto hair products on Sephora or Amazon.com.

This is my 3rd purchase that I have made of this product, and this is by far the worst. I was very skeptical about Phyto Specific because my hair is extremely thick and I burn very easily with relaxers. The first purchase was the best, it worked like a charm and I had no problems afterwards. My second purchase worked well, however, there was a crusty film over the top. Even with scraping it off there were still what I like to call "perm chips" in the relaxer. I applied the perm as normal and had to get another person to pull the "perm chips" out of my hair. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. It took us 45 extra min and 4 washes to get ALL the "perm chips" out.Needless to say, I am one of those customers that realize there are such things as bad batches of products and went ahead and made a 3rd purchase. This was by far the worst. Again, it had the "perm chips" covering the surface of the relaxer before mixing it. This didn't take as long since I had a method to getting them out (but who wants to deal with it if you don't have to), but it also burned my scalp...and I applied a base to my scalp. I know the product had to be bad because I based my scalp and the area that burned was not scratched prior to the perm which was applied last to the area that burned. I was more upset the next morning because the hair in the burned area looked burned...literally. It looked all kinky and dry like I lit a match to my hair. I combed it carefully and long strands of my hair started coming out in the sink. The more I combed the more it fell out. Without saying a word, I lifted up my hair to show my son and he asked me why my hair was so short and dry looking. I was mad for 2 reasons: 1. I have been stretching my perms to 3 months to keep my hair healthier and prevent overlapping the perm. Before my perm I had 3 inches of new growth...but you can't tell since my hair is burnt looking and feeling. The second reason I'm upset is that I wasted $65 on something that made my hair look and feel worse that it did before the process!If you make this purchase make sure that you don't have any "perm chips" left in your hair, base your scalp and put some type of oil on your already processed hair.

I'm mixed as to what I should rate this.. It worked extremely well as a relaxer on my hair and yet while following all the instructions including the usage of the included "precare balm" (vaseline) I still ended up with 2nd degree chemical burns. Areas around my hairline where the relaxer came in contact briefly before being wiped away and the back of my neck are red and in some spots oozing from where the top layer of skin was chemically melted away despite being covered with the vaseline protectant (keep in mind this was clean, healthy, unbroken skin). I've used many other relaxers over the years which weren't marketed as "derived from all natural ingredients" and never got burned like this.Bottom line, it works great on hair but absolutely do not allow it to come in contact with your skin or you'll regret using the product.

At first I was hesitant to spend $65 dollars on a high end hair relaxer when I could have went spent less than $10 bucks on a cheap one. But I'm SO happy I spend the extra bucks because my hair looks amazing and so much more manageable. I relaxed it after trying the "natural" hair thing for over a year and a half and just got sick of everyday gels and having to flat ironing my hair all the time. Also, the longer my "natural" hair got, it became less manageable for me. After I went to bed that night when I used the Phyto relaxer my hair did not revert back, and stayed straight. I even got a light drizzle of rain on my hair 2 days later and my hair still is straight. This product is well worth the money. Oh and so easy to DIY at home. It's also suppose to be made of natural ingredients ( an added bonus for me). I'm in love with Phyto's relaxer and will definitely be buying again.
