My hair is of type 4c, i planned to grow it longer and it grew very well, but when it keeps growing i started to feel my hair is very hard to manage, it takes at least 2 days to deep condition and style it, it is very annoying sometimes especially for the lazy people like me.
I had an idea of using flat iron, but i thought i would go with something that causes less damage than the flat iron, and so i decided to go with the relaxing option.
When surfing through the internet, i found the phytospecific relaxer, read all the possible reviews and watched related youtube videos and finally bought it,
After using it for few months, i decided to review the product,
In this article we will discuss each and every features, what’s my experience and pros and cons of it in depth,
Let’s dive deep into it.
Things to consider before buying the Phytospecific Relaxer
This relaxer straighten the hair with the use of natural ingredients and does not contain any harsh chemicals in it,
If you are looking for a no lye and harsh chemical free relaxer, this would be the best fit for you.
Whether your hair is delicate and fine or coarse and denser phytorelaxer has two different versions for your hair type
Phytospecific relaxer comes in two different versions for different types of hair, named Index 1, and Index 2
Who should use and which one to choose?
Phytospecific relaxer index 1
Index 1 is for people with fine to medium fine hair, basically it is a milder version of phyto relaxer,
People with delicate hair are easily prone to damage, so index 1 acts very mild on their hair at the same time it straightens the hair as well.
Phytospecific relaxer index 2
People with coarse or dense hair like me should use the index 2 version, it is little bit stronger which is specially made for the coarse hair,
I have used the index 1 version instead of 2, because i don’t want to use the strong chemical on my hair since it has more probability to damage my hair,
But instead I used index 1 and left it little longer than the usual time, I left it on my hair for 20 minutes(Usually 10 to 15 minutes is enough) to achieve the same result that I get from index 2.
Two different types of results
- If you want to slightly release the curl go with the index 1
- If you want bone straight hair i recommend you to go with the index 2 even if it is harsh, because only then you can achieve the hair type you want, since i just want to release the curls i have chosen the index 1.
