I have very course resistant hair and normally use a super strength relaxer to straigten it. Do you think that this product will work on me?

It has the exact same ingredients as a relaxer, just diluted. If you want a looser texture, leave it in for 3 minutes after applying and do NOT comb. That will weaken/straighten the hair.

I yes I think it will help. At least try it and see if it is for you. I have course hair too. I tried it and loved it. It is not for everyone but at least if you try it you will find out. It comes with instructions as to how long to leave it in depending on the texture of your hair.

It should work just fine. My daughter has VERY coarse hair that gets tangled easily and frequently. I used it on her hair and it came out kindof Hawaiian wavy. Now, no more tears or crying when I do her hair. I did not keep the product on for very long and I definitely didn't smooth it, and yet it worked beautifully.

It depends. If you're relaxed and trying to touch up then you can. It's less harsh than a regular relaxer. It's meant for softening the texture of naturally curly hair so if you think you need something stronger then I recommend continuing to use a super strength relaxer if it gets the job then.

I use this for my children who are bi-racial and it has been a life saver. I myself have a regular strength relaxer applied to my hair every 6 weeks. I think based on what I have seen this product do for my children, that it may be a bit too mild for both my and your hair, especially if your current relaxer strength is super. I would say be careful and maybe try the strand test if you really want to use it, but I'm not sure that it would give you the result you are looking for.

My hair texture was the same after applying the product. I would say yes, your hair should hold a curl just fine.

My natural hair is VERY thick and coarse. If you apply this relaxer and make sure you go back and SMOOTH it afterward, I can't imagine that your hair would revert. I just did my touch up this past weekend and I had A LOT of thick, new growth. My hair is so straight and manageable, it's amazing!

I do not recommend it, it's for hair that is relaxed with agave oil hair relaxer treatment.

I believe it will. I've been using this product for a year or so, and my hairdresser told me my hair is definitely thicker. Good luck!

It works for my husband and I. I have relaxed AA hair and I used this for the 1st time a few days ago. When I woke up the next morning, my new growth or virgin hair that's not chemically treated was noticeably thicker for one day. But I also use hair, skin and nail pills so this product works great with me working from the inside and this conditioner on the outside I had fabulous results. I also applied to my husbands bald spot last night and he told me this morning he had a long string of hair that wasn't there last night but is here this morning. We love this product and will continue to use. It works for my husband and I. I have relaxed AA hair and I used this for the 1st time a few days ago.

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

I can't speak to using it on relaxed hair as mine is natural, however when I was doing the research on it I found quite a few YouTube videos of women with relaxed hair using it in their edges that had thinned or broken off. Go to YouTube and search "Jamaican Black Castor Oil Relaxed Hair." There were quite a few that had good results. Hope that helps.

It works fine on my relaxed hair. However it is very heavy so I mix it in my conditioner and when its on my dry hair I apply it with a brush (perm brush) after I part it in sections.

I have short thick gray hair that I color every 6 weeks. I use the Agadir Argan Oil 2 or three times a week on dry hair and only use this masque when I see split ends and need an extra boost of conditioner. It makes my hair really soft. My stylist used this on me when I complained my hair just didn't look or feel right. I believe it would work for your hair type. I also use the shampoo.

I would think so. My hair is thick, but the strands are thin. It has a bit of a wave, but sadly, not curls. My guess is your hair would have more volume but stay curly. This product is worth trying.

If your having a hard time with your hair taking the relaxer if would suggestgoing to a professional to get your hair straight and after I would recommend this relaxer. I have thick. Hair and this relaxer works well with straightening my hair. I would recommend watching YouTube videos to see what pl with simular hair texture to yours do or recommend

i'm not sure if this would work, but maybe just putting conditioner and leaving it in your hair would help because the conditioner is already saturating your hair so the relaxer cant affect the hair as much

I have curly/kinky, medium density hair. If I can get it through mine, you should have no problem. What I love about it is that once you can easily brush it from root to end, you get a wonderul scalp massage, and the mixture of nylon and boar bristles feels very good without being hard. HTH

No it's not a relaxer. It's a treatment. It made my natural hair softer and bought more moisture back into it.

I am african American with relaxed hair that reach just an inch or two below where my bra snaps in the back. My hair normally tangle a great deal while roller setting, with this shampoo I no longer have that problem. It detangles my hair very well. I hope I have answered your question. I truly LOOVE this product. Every texture hair is different but I suggest you try it, after all it's very affordable. I imagine it will work wonders on natural hair.
