Sorry, I accidentally posted in the announcements area. (Too excited)
Anyway, here is my post:
Thanks to Sengschick and Curlycrly for your PMs! They were VERY helpful regarding texturizing and Phytorelaxer. Sherrylove, I permed my sister's hair this past weekend with Phyto index 2. She has been the one e-mailing you about it for her perm this past Saturday! All I can say is OMG! Her hair turned out beautifully! Her hair still stretches with tensile strength and doesn't pop. She was all natural to start and the perm took incredibly well. I would say to anyone that it is worth it to have 2 people working on your hair at once. We parted it down the middle and me and my other sister each took one side. We timed it and her hair straightened w/in 7 minutes. We hurried up and got her to the bowl to rinse and neutralize, so as to keep the time her hair had the chemicals in it to a bare miniumum. We shampooed several times and let the neutralizer stay in her hair under a showercap until it was white, no more pink. This was a very helpful exercise for me because I want a texturized look, not as straight as my sister wanted her hair (we are all 3c/4a), so I am going to order the index 1 for what I want to do. Anyway, just another "nod" to phytorelaxer. This is going to be the only perm we will be using. Her hair is bouncy when she moves and has a luster to it that indicates "healthy". Anyone out there searching for a perm that won't leave that "crunchy" feeling around the hairline and does not strip down your hair, this is highly recommended. I wish I had received a bit more responses about my texturizing questions, but I guess I will try and figure that out. Anyway, big ups to phyto and what help I could get so far. My sister has definitely got "swing" and bounce to her hair. We're very pleased!
