Hey guys
After a long time of using ORS relaxer I did some research on the Creme of Nature Straight From Eden Relaxer and eventually decided to give it a go. I normally do the half and half relaxer method (relaxing one side at a time) but this relaxer said you were not to let it stand more than 30 mins before applying it which forced me to relax my whole head at once which was a bit of a challenge and left some parts underprossed. I used the B system for thick/resistant hair. My main findings were:
It tingled but didn't burn
It textlaxed my hair rather than relaxed it bone straight but this could be due to the fact that I didn't do the half half method
The shampoo was really moisturising and the colour coded system was great. My hair was left detangled and soft
The conditioner and oil tangled my hair and made it hard. I had to add humecto afterwards which was only able to make it slightly better. I will NEVER use this again. This really spoilt the whole experience for me.
On rollersetting it didn't have that "you have just relaxed your hair and it is extremely fragile feeling" more like "you are 1 week post relaxer and are washing your hair"
I flat ironed after I rollersetted under the dryer and don't believe it would have been straight without the flat iron although this tends to happen with ORS
I flat ironed with Giovanni direct leave in and Frizz Be Gone serum already in my hair from the rollerset, it felt softer than usual and more flowly
Will I use it again? I think I may give it one more try without their oil and conditioner. It didn't come out as straight as I am used to but it did feel healthier than it normally does with ORS
Just wanted to share. God bless x
