*>Diva Smooth<*-- >An Alternative to Relaxers?<

I am :lachen: at this thread!!! But seriously, this kinda reminds me of that product Lustrasilk that my mama used on my hair back in the day when I was natural. You sprayed it on your hair before you blowdried/pressed and it made your hair straighter than if you just blowdried and flat-ironed your natural hair without product. :yep:

We used to call those Lustrasilk Press Perms. I used to get them all the time. They had to do three treatments and then it would make pressing your hair easier... Chile that was sooooooooo long ago...that stuff might have been ammonia, I remember it stinking!

ETA: I found an interesting thread over on BHM about it one lady said she used it 20 years ago, I used it about 25 years ago, and my hair was healthy and nice, I got it done at a salon in Los Angeles, they still sell the stuff today!! Who knew!!

I think these are the ingredients:

Deionized water, formic acid,TEA-dodecylbenzenesulfonate, fragrance, FD&C yellow NO. 5.

Yep, that's the stuff! :yep: I used it about 10 years ago. My mother fought against a relaxer for a long time with this stuff, but I eventually broke her down when I was around 15 or so. :lol: It did the trick for a while, though. Those roots were what was killing me! :nono:

A kind word! Much needed right now... I used curlformers but I didn't have enough of them and so I finished with flexirods. I love both of them!

I was SO hoping you would say curlformers! :yep:

I have some that I would like to get some use out of and I love your set.

Thanks for letting me know.

huh? :look: What the heck kinda ingredients are those? LOL :lol:
 
I've been hanging out in this thread a while, wow. I would REALLY like to try this product but I would never buy it without seeing the ingredients. I am very skeptical of this product and if it worked it would be a miracle for my hair. I just don't know if I believe this.

You are right Vanessa.

Me too, I :sleep2: through the drama last night.

I woke up this morning and this thread was all blowed up! :nono:
 
ive read this whole thread and all i can say is wow :look:

I agree that people did shoot her down real quick. if the product works, it works if it doesnt oh well. its not the first time any of us bought something that didnt work for our hair, we just moved on.

and i know someone will probably find something wrong with this post cause it seems like thats what some of us seem to be doing to each other in this thread, but oh well :grin:

thank you to whoever it was that is willing to try the product. you dont know how good something is until you try it!

i am kinda confused as to how something natural can straighten your hair but if she found something to straighten it you go girl and more power to you congratulations!

Actually, I'm still a newbie - even though I post a lot, so I don't know how to do that. I guess you would PM a mod?? IDK, but I don't care all that much, so.....

What I don't understand is whyyyyyyyy naturals are all up in and over every thread that mentions a relaxer! Naturals talk about relaxers & relaxers alternatives more than relaxed heads.

Bottom line is, people will continue to use chemicals, Okay??? This is not Nappturality.

ETA: Whether it's actually natural or not, people will use it if it works. If you don't want to try it, don't use it. I, too, agree that the ingredients should be listed, but it's not that serious!

Ding Ding Ding! But let me hush.... girl i'm a "Newbie" too. :ohwell:
 
see this is the thing...i think everybody is thinking it is going to get you hair straight like a relaxer.... wrong...a relaxer chemically straightens your hair,,what my Divasmooth does is just straightens your hair...big difference. when you put in the Divasmooth after about 45min or so rinse out then shampoo,blow dry, drop of oil then flat iron in thin section. that's when it becomes straight and so much bounce...the wind will have your hair all over the place.....lololol

ok thanks i was a little confused, how long does the straightening last?
 
so many people want to know what's in my Divasmooth that makes it do this...there is a reason why i just don't tell people how i make it....you never know what big company is here waiting to take our ideas., but when people go to my site and buy it..my ingredients are on there for the world to see..... on the ( divasmooth ) bottle...
 
dollie that dog in your siggy is so hilarious and cute. is it yours?

vanessa/diva...Hi! Sorry you had a scary intro to the hair board world but it seems like you are getting the swing of it. Be careful this site is addictive!
 
i have found it last longer on different hair types. some of my clients get it done every week, some come every two weeks, i see some every three weeks and some come once a month..it really depends on how fast your hair grows ya know..OK let's say you did your Divsamooth on a Monday and you shampoo your hair once a week right, well when you go back the following Monday to shampoo your hair your Divasmooth is still there all you need to do is use a drop of oil in the palms of you hands and run it through your hair and re-flatiron, you will be able to tell when it is time to do it again because your gonna see your new growth at your roots...
