Hi, I'm new to the forum and sort of timid when it comes to posting, lol.
Anyway, Arosci Normal/Regular is my latest relaxer. I had been using PhytoSpecific Index 1 until 1/4 of the inductor leaked out of the bottle and I contacted their customer service. At first, no one returned my calls and when I got in touch with someone, she basically told me, "tough." This turned me off of Phyto even though I love some of their products. Arosci is comparable to the Phyto in that it doesn't burn, it leaves my hair with body and it doesn't smell (my favorite thing about Phyto). It's also much more affordable. I've only used it once mid October (I self-relax) and I'm about due for I another in a week or two. I mixed it with Aeto Reviving Drops and left it on for exactly 16 minutes total, from start to finish. I was being over cautious for some reason. My hair came out texlaxed, which I wasn't going for but I was pleasantly surprised at how managable it was. I think that was mainly due to the drops I added, though. I'll know for sure when I touch up. Oh, and I have 4a, APL+, normal hair. HTH.
