I have this coarse hair texture.I normally retouch every 3months with dark and lovely kits.due to my hair I have to stay a little bit longer to let the hair relax more.I can stay up to 45mins.I had no issues with dark and lovely .anyway in my quest for stronger,longer,healthier hair someone suggested I start using organics relaxer.that's when the issue started.while they are stil retouching my scalp is already on fire by the tym the are done I can only stay a few minutes and I end up with burnt scalp and under relaxed hair. My stylist said I should try megagrowth relaxers.am jus scared and tired of d burns plus I don't want anytin that will destroy the hair am so much trying to grow.pls any advice or suggestion for a sister in need.thanks and God bless for your kind comments

Organics or Organic Root Stimulator? I highly recommend ORS, Profectiv or Venus relaxer for very coarse hair like mine. Forget at-home relaxer kits, use cup relaxers. How soon do you retouch after a wash? ... clean scalps burn more....I think!

My dear the same thing happened to me oh! And what's worse is that I have soft hair. Its either they didn't relax the hair smoothley enuf or it burnt my scalp. Until I discovered UB its really nice on my hair. I think you should just pick a basic relaxer like revlon Tcb ub etc and stay true to it following the instructions oh! Don't leave it on your hair for more than the time stipulated.

Yes, its the same I think the difference is some comes in 4 in a pack with smapoo and conditioner and the other comes with6 in a pack. But its seems its not all hairdressers that knows how to make use of it. My hairdresser has been applying it to my hair all the time with no burn and relaxes my hair fast. But when I tried another salon, I had burns all over. So I think how it is applied is also important.

Yvete its organics by africa best I used.then those lye relaxers changes d colour of my hair.my mum had to cut my hair down to the roots in 2007 coz my hair was now brown.and warned me neva to use those cup relaxers.that's when I started using kits.today I have dark black hair and I don't wanna lose it(I have suddenly gone hair crazy ).I jus want a full healthy hair.I don't wash my hair before retouching too.maybe I should jus go back to dark n lovely .jus want the best for my hair.thanks ya all .does anyone know anytin about dark and lovely products.can't remeber why I stopped it sef

No Lye relaxers are gentle on the scalp but harsh on the hair

So, ladies the choice is yours - your hair or your scalp!

Personally, I have a strong scalp but weak hair so I use Lye relaxers - Silk Elements Mega Silk relaxer with Shea Butter has been the best for me.
I don't allow the stylist to comb the hair at all after applying the relaxer, just a light massage with fingers. And am ok.

If you have a soft scalp but tough hair, No Lye relaxers may be more advisable for you.
Just try out a few and discover what works best for you.

But no matter the relaxer you use, ensure you deep condition your hair regularly with a protein enriched deep conditioner.
