What is it with theses so-called wash 'n
go relaxers and natural relaxers. The natural relaxers promise
no straightening chemicals just natural ingredients, while the wash
'n go relaxers promise convenience. This is becoming the
latest quest: To find a product that will straighten the hair
without damaging it.
Here's What You Had To Say
About Naturalaxer
I have been using the Naturalaxer for
eight months and it does everything it promises and more. It does
not break the bonds in your hair, so you always maintain your
natural curl pattern. It softens the top cuticle of your hair so you
can wear it naturally curly or wavy(without the frizz) or blowdried
straight.
Unlike chemical relaxers, the
Naturalaxer leaves your hair extremely shiny and soft to the touch.
There is a marked difference in previously chemically-relaxed hair
and hair that has been relaxed with Naturalaxer. Hope this helps.
P.S. It can be used on all textures
of hair--fine, medium, and coarse.--Pat George
I have used the Naturalaxer in my
hair. The purpose of the naturalaxer is to loosen the curl, not really
to straighten the hair. Depending on the type of wave or curl that you
have in your hair, the Naturalaxer can straighten your hair with just
a mild application. For example, if you have really loose waves, the
Naturalaxer will straighten your hair. If you have a tighter curl, it
may be necessary to use a hair dryer (and either the medium or the
maximum) to get the hair straightened. However, you dont actually have
to use the hair dryer straighten your hair if you don't want to.I have
used the Naturalaxer and my hair has grown from being really short
back to almost the length it was before I cut it. I don't use a hair
dryer in my hair and the Naturalaxer makes my hair really easy to
comb, and it give you the option of being a natural sister.The only
thing I don't know is whether it will damage your hair or not. I have
had positive results from using this product. --Druscilla Dasent
Consumers do not have to blow dry
their hair to get it straight with the
Naturalaxer. I have a friend you used it and she wrapped her hair
after
applying the Naturalaxer and it got straight. Keep in mind that it
is heat
activated. There are alot of people who use this product and loves
it. I
am getting ready to try it myself. I've used the African Wonders
product line and they are great.--Nikita Owens
I have very kinky hair but it is
thin. Most hairdressers overprocess my hair or damage it because
it looks so kinky. I tried Avlon's Ferm Curl products but I was
tired of the wetness. I recently tried African Prides Naturalaxer
(Mild). When I blow dry my hair and curl it with a curling iron it
is pretty straight. The product itself is not as harsh on my hair
so I don't have a lot of breakage. The straightness lasts for
about a week (even when it's raining). I prefer Naturalaxer
because I would still have to blow dry and curl my hair if I had a
chemical relaxer. The only problem is I would like to wear my hair
natural sometimes but this product does not straighten my hair
enough to wear it natural.
I had been
contemplating whether or not to try the Naturalaxer, until I
read this column in "Natural Corner" about others' responses to
Naturalaxer. I was finally convinced to try it. And I loved
it. I could also tell a significant difference in my 5 to 6 inches
of new growth and my previously relaxed hair. I've been growing my
hair out natural for the past 9 months but haven't cut my permed
hair out yet (waiting for some length) and got to a point where I
was getting tired of the "half natural-half permed" look (couldn't
hide my new growth any more). So I searched the internet over and
came across Naturalaxer. Being afraid to try out a new product that
I'd never heard any of my fellow peers try, so I waited... That's
when I saw this column and went for it. As someone else said, it
really does what it says. I have shoulder-length, very thick coarse
hair (usually need a super strength perm) and I ordered the mild
Naturalaxer because #1, I was nervous and #2, like I said, I am
trying to go natural once my new growth gets long enough for me to
wear it that way, so I didn't want it to straighten out my hair. I
simply needed a product to help keep the bulk down so that I could
continue wearing press and curl styles before I go completely wash
and wear natural. And it worked. My family and friends noticed a
significant difference in my hair. Plus I'd rather use a gentler
and healthier, alkaline-based texturizer like Naturalaxer than a
chemically harsh perm any day. My hair has suffered enough damage
in the past as it is.--Danyelle
