I noticed that the Phyto thinned two patches of hair on my hairline. However my hair was softer than after my usual relaxer (Mizani).
I wasn't gonna use phyto after what it did to my hairline, and I never had that problem with African Pride or Mizani. This past weekend I couldn't take it anymore, it was time to relax. However I neglected to plan ahead and did not have any relaxer on hand. (usually I get it at least a month in advance). I need hours to relax and dh agreed to take the kids out so I bought two boxes of African Pride and went to work.
My hair is almost crispy compared to how it felt after Phyto. Although AP does straighten well, and for the first time I could do my whole head in one day because I managed to relax the back and then the front instead of right side, left side as is my normal routine.
After my hair felt so dry (though it is alot longer) I remembered that though I liked the Phytorelaxer, I did not like their pre-balm because I thought it was too thin. So it stands to reason that the hairline damage may have been caused by their lame corn-oil balm and not the relaxer.
So I may just have to go back to Phyto and use my normal petrolaturm stuff to base with. Although Phyto costs so much I'm thinking of doing the front in Phyto and the back in African Pride, mixing a bit of castor and coconut oil in. What do you think?
