ORS olive oil relaxer. yay or nay?

[slim_thick]

I absolutely loved this relaxer when I applied my own relaxer at home. My hair always felt soft, silky and bouncy. Plus the Replenishing Pack is to die for, the best post relaxer conditioner treatment. IMO....

Now, I just don't have the time and patience to relax my own hair anymore, so I go to a salon and treat my tresses to a Mizani Butter Blend relaxer & deep conditioner.

Ladies? Where's the ORS LYE sold? I didn't see it at Sally's. Can it be found at big box stores like Target or WalMart?

My hair loves the no-lye ORS!
Every BSS in my area carries it.

i normally get mine from the BSS, but I have seen it at Sally's before. I don't ever remember seeing the LYE formula in Target or Walmart though.

 

[bluevalentine]

I will be using the ORS lye formula this weekend, I am so hoping that it works for me **fingers crossed**.

 

[I_shure_do_wish]

YAY! all the way and duble YAy! I had no idea that there was a lye version too bad I dont think I could find it here in Toronto..highly doubt it

 

[RosesBlack]

I have to say YAY again. I had switched earlier this year to another relaxer that left me underprocessed in some spots and over processed in others. Since then I used the ORS no lye for the second time and my hair has fully recovered and came out perfect.,

I still say they should include more shampoo though.

Oh Heaven Help me, why have I been lurking in relaxer threads lately...I know better...

 

[soonergirl]

I am an affirm head, but used this once in between and I had great results!!! MY hair was silky!!

 

[FemmeCreole]

I used the ORS olive oil no -lye for the first time last wednesday and I will say that this is my new staple relaxer. I absolutely loved it and I have great results. The kit comes well stocked too!.

 

[HairQueen]

Yay for me - this is the one I always use.

 

[Candy1978]

I freaking LOVE ORS Olive Oil Relaxer, it is the best, soft, gentle, doesn't burn, and makes my hair just bounce and swing LOVE it...did I mention I love it ....lol

 

[praisedancer]

I absolutely love ORS relaxer. It's the best I've ever used & it makes my hair so soft after it has been relaxed.

 

[gissellr78]

YAY 3x's and use normal lol

I love it and the deep conditioner is just yummy

 

[BlackMarilyn]

does this relaxer only come in a kit? i used it on my friend's hair this week but i'm wondering if the amt of shampoo/conditioner it comes with is enough for me.

is it also sold as separate items?

I have to thank you ladies for the info on ORS. I tried it and no shedding! I first had a problem with Mizani. Didn't listen to another lady with hair similar to mine. She got a salon treatment and it ruined her hair. I thought I'd try since it got good reviews but this was 2 years later. My hair started shedding. I waited several months to switch to a Dominican product called Linange Shea. I also got shedding. Waited longer for the retouches and still got shedding. My last touch-up was with ORS and guess what, no shedding. I used the lye product. Still keeping my fingers crossed and am hoping this thing is nipped in the bud. I use the Aphogee treatment about every 6 weeks or so but still got shedding with the other products. I cannot stretch between for 3-4 months. I love ORS!

yay for me!!! i love it because it isn't 2 harsh on my hair

 

[loved]

I'm still deciding. I used it a month ago and my hair is nappy as all get out. I liked it at first because my hair did not feel limp right after the relaxer.

I just started using megatek and I have been sweating to an extreme degree because of my workout regimen so it may be related to other factors. I'll try it again for inauguration week & see how I like it then.

ETA: I used the lye version and I would not recommend it. My hair is 4z and it left me extremely underprocessed.

 

[LivingDoll]

It's a nay for me. When I used it, my hair lacked the silkiness that I was used too. It also made my hair have this weird mushy/frizzy texture. I used the lye mild.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

YAY for me. I used the one with Lye as a corrective and I love it. I'm definitely sticking with this relaxer. It made my hair so soft and silky.

I had the same reaction. At first I loved it, but a month later...

 

[seashell]

I love this relaxer!

 

[PartyGirl]

I say YAY!

It relaxes well and leaves my hair soft and shiny. I am a 'self-relaxer' from way back (lol) and I've used alot of different relaxers. This is the only one that doesnt leave my hair hard and clumped together after i rinse.

not too sure about virgin hair, but i think it should be a-ok

 

[brebre928]

I have to say YAY....I've used it before and I love it.

 

[kristie21]

i say NAY..I hate the lye version..used it the first time and it was ok...after the third time i threw it out and went back to no-lye (mizani)..it has definetly done damage to my hair..LOTS of breakage and dryness..my hair feels so weird...at the ends..sort of like scab hair..if i could go back i would have passed on it completely...

 

[alanaj]

I used this once and it was THE best home relaxer I;ve ever had! After that neutralizer was rinsed out it felt soooo soft. And that was even before we got to the replenishing pack part of it.
Big YAY

I just used ORS Olive Oil Lye Relaxer last week wednesday and I must say it's probably the best relaxer I've ever had (that's what my stylist said too..LOL). I didn't burn, my hair was light and bouncy when dry. My hair still had body and it looked very healthy. I'm sticking to it.

I've used the lye and no-lye ORS relaxer. The thing is, I didn't even realize I was using the lye versionerplexed... I saw it at the BSS and noticed it was the same relaxer that I had used before, just not in the kit. I bought it more for convenience and price because I knew that I could get at least 2 uses out of it. Usually when I use the one in the kit, I end up throwing a good amount of it away.
I didn't think much else about it... until I came to the board I thought they only sold no-lye relaxer's anyway... and I'm still not sure what the major differences are.

Well, the last 2 relaxers I've done have been with the lye relaxer, it defintely doesn't get my hair as bone straight as the kit version...but I think I'm ok with that. I think I'd be ok with using both...

On another note, I'm going to have to pay more attention when I buy things now...

NAY!!! I tried this relaxer more than once and it left my hair underprocessed everytime.
