Phytospecific Phytorelaxer Index 2 - Normal, Thick, Coarse Hair

I was VERY skeptical about dropping $60 to try this, but one thing that eased my mind was that this is two applications. Every container (except the reconstructor, but they give you a lot of it) has a halfway line so you know how much product you can use. The kit is almost like any relaxer kit, there's gloves, thorough instructions, mixing stick, containers with step numbers on it, etc. They claim it doesn't smell bad cause of the amount of natural ingredients found in the formula, but I still smell a faint smell but it's not like the horrible rotten egg smell you get from a typical box perm.

The application is like any other perm: only apply to new growth, don't leave it on too long or else it'll burn, don't scratch your scalp or it will burn, etc. I left it on for the max time cause I have very coarse hair and I haven't permed it in about a month or two cause I gave up on my hairdresser.

When it was time to wash it out they give you a neutralizing shampoo that turns pink when there is still relaxer in your hair. Next you add the reconstructor for about 10 minutes and wash it out.

The end product looked great! It's shiny and beautiful, and it looks like I went to the salon. Some of the sephora reviews are saying continued use will produce healthier and stronger hair, which I totally believe with all the good stuff the formula is packed with like egg proteins.

In the end, it totally is just a box perm, but with proper and continued use you're looking at something that's not just going to relax your hair and make it straight, it's going to strengthen it as well and keep it looking great. Don't let the $60 price tag discourage you!
