PHYTO SPECIFIC RELAXERS
What are the type of relaxers do you offer?
We offer 2 targeted formulas based on the degree of straightening, INDEX 1, and INDEX 2. INDEX 1 is for delicate, fine and color-treated hair types who want texturized to loosen curls and waves or a sleek, straight look. INDEX 2 is for normal, resistant, and coarse hair types who want a sleek, straight look.
How does Phytorelaxer differ from other relaxers?
Phytorelaxer is effective yet different because it permanently relaxes hair without harsh chemicals or irritation usually associated with chemical relaxers. It does not contain any lithium, calcium, sodium hydroxides or thio. Thio refers to the chemical compound “ammonium thioglycolate.”
What are the active ingredients in the straightening cream?
The active ingredient in the straightening cream is a complex of egg and soy extracts. These ingredients are from 100% botanical origin and are hypoallergenic.
What is the pH of Phytorelaxer?
The pH ranges from 9.5-12.5.
Can I use Phytorelaxer at home or should I go to a salon?
We recommend having a professional stylist consultation prior to the Phytorelaxer application. The stylist can evaluate the condition of your hair and suggest the appropriate index and timing for your hair texture. However, the Phytorelaxer kit is designed to also be used at home.
How soon can I wash my hair after the Phytorelaxer application?
Wait at least 72 hours. Use Curl Hydration Shampoo and Mask to soothe the scalp and intensely hydrate and nourish the hair.
How often do I need to use Phytorelaxer?
Phytorelaxer may be used every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the new growth, texture, or condition of your hair. A sufficient amount of new growth must be present in order to properly relax the hair without touching the scalp or overlapping on previously relaxed hair.
Is Phytorelaxer compatible with all relaxers?
Yes. Phytorelaxer is compatible with all relaxers except those that are thio-based.
