i wish they would start putting a bigger bottle of neutralizing shampoo i cnt work with those little tiny packets of shampoo they put in those kits because i have a lot of hair.
@Xashme its it good... i ALWAYS go to the salon but i'm sick of my hairdresser and he insist on always cutting my hair. so i'm to the point where i'd rather do my own.
I've had salon relaxers, beauty school relaxers and home relaxers. I prefer the at home relaxers because they get my hair straighter and it lasts much longer. I use regular Parnevu - I think I spelled it right- or a super Pink ( Keisha Cole). and I love them both
I think a relaxer kit should come with a deep moisturizer cream and balancer because most of the time the relaxer dries out my hair. I know the relaxer usually comes with the neutralizer shampoo, but this just stops the chemical process, it doesn't regulate the ph balance. I think the balancer and deep moisturizer would keep your hair from getting dry and it may also reduce breakage or over processing.
I wish relaxer kits would have a little jar of vaseline to decrease the burning of the relaxer on the scalp. That helps my scalp out a whole lot when relaxing my hair.
i love the empress hair kit or the hair kits that come with the mini applicator brush to apply the perm that way you don't have to use ur own. very few do this and when I find empress I usually buy about 3 at a time (their sister product re-gro is a litte earlier 2 find if ur trying 2 re-gro ur hair)because in my area it's not that popular. it's about $8 a box so a little more expensive but you get real latex gloves and that brush which really helps!
i think this is a great video ateya!!!... but companys are soooo cheap... i think we shoud e-mail this video too.. relaxer companys.... i believe the companys are in this for money they dont care about us...
Honestly, after going to salons every 1 to 2 weeks from the age of 11 to 31, the only reason I stopped was because I have Saturday and Sunday off and don't want to spend it in a salon all day! Going to a black salon, especially on a Saturday has always been a 4-6 hour event---just for a shampoo. The wait is usually due to the stylist being so greedy and scheduling way too many people. So I usually would end up sitting for at least 2 hours before anybody laid a finger on a strand of my hair.
That is totally unacceptible. More black salons should appreciate their clients and value their time. I understand your complaint...don't spend your money with anyone who doesn't respect your time.
Yeah, I think that's what hurts a lot of "our" businesses is time management and respecting clients time. A lot of stylists have such a nonchalant attitude because they feel we HAVE no other option. SMH
i use Organie root stimulator olive oil and it's great. They actually have the good gloves and it's never "burned" my scalp just got a good sting every now and then
When I buy Affirm it doesn't come with anything but the activator. So as far as that brand (which is the only one I use) goes, I'd like a cape, brush, gloves, and shower cap.
I second what you said... about the shower cap. They suggest that you leave in the conditioner sometimes.. sit under the dryer for deep-conditioning... why not provide the little plastic caps?? Or wooden sticks that don't break or bend so easily... maybe a little buzz-timer to help us not go over or under the designated time for our hair texture... stuff like that
i would like a perm bursh so that my comb wouldnt hold the odar of the relaxer because when i use the comb everytime i use the comb i feel like i have a little relaxer combing through my hair
im constantly scratching my head...and you suppose too irritate the scalp before a relaxer...there is a cream my salon (kimistryhairstudio in houston) that my stylist puts on my head before she does the relaxer .and the relaxer NEVER burns...i wish my at-home kit had that cream in it.
I would like to have a small relaxer brush that has the long tip on the end for parting the hair and the brush on the other end for applying the relaxer. They only cost about $1, but I always forget to pick one up.
you need two mirrors .you put one mirror infront of you and second one behind you while you are relaxing your hair..i have 3 kids it is hard for me go to the salon to do my hair so i do by myself ,,
vinager in the shampoo...after you relax mix vinagre in your shampoo ...it help to stop the chemica of the relax in your hair.. and also you needs ph condition..l
Great comments and ideas, but realistically including many of these items would increase the cost of at home relaxer kits. As many of the ladies have suggested, simply make a list of any additional supplies needed and purchase them in addition to the kit. Those supplies will last for quite some time. Some relaxer kits include many of the things listed, but some do not. Again, great question!
You are missing a hair stylist from your home relaxer kit because of their professional experience and they can see all the angles on your head - this is what I think is lacking from a home relaxer kit.
hey can you guys go and check out my videos and tell me what yall think...this is my first video so dont be harsh.lol..subscribe and answer the question of the vid plz
Part 2: You guys do know, however, that if these companies implemented these changes, the prices would go up. THe problem with that is that many will be paying increased prices for items they never use. For instance, I've been doing relaxers for so long that I dont get any on the towel or clothes. I would end up paying extra for that when I dont even need it. Also, I just put a lot of base on my hands, use a relaxer brush and work fast so I dont need the gloves either.
Comment 1: Relaxers did used to come with base but I noticed a few years ago they stopped. I would like base in mine. Also, I apply conditioner to the relaxed hair to avoid over processing and ensure relaxer is only on the new growth. It would be nice if the box came with these items.
I'm satisfied with the items included in my relaxer kit. I don't have the problem with burning my scalp because the perm is in my hair less than 2 minutes after application. What I have notice when doing my hair is when I part the hair, I apply the relaxer on both sides of the part then apply relaxer on the parted section and so on..... . My hair comes out great with less damage to hair and scalp. Luster's Products works great on my hair.
A protein treatment is missing. People are relaxing their hair at home not know that they need to follow with a protein treatment because their hair becomes very fragile after a chemical process.
You can purchase any items you may need to take care or your hair yourself inexpensively eg. (plastic glove, plastic cape, add some olive oil to a spray bottle, etc.) If these items were included in some kit they would be crap. Set yourself up once with decent product and you'll be fine. Also at home relaxer kits are not usually the way to go just buy the big size of the relaxer and neutralizer such as Affirm.
ladies if you want a good at home relaxer please try the normal organic root stimulator relaxer! leaves hair soft and silky and comes with everything you need!
To protect against my scalp from burning I just use regular hair grease (I use proclaim) and grease my scalp before applying the perm. My hair dresser taught me this trick. I wish that they would include an application brush (cake brush) with the perm. They are very cheap 1-2 bucks but it would be a nice luxury to have when buying a home kit
Hi Ateyaaa, all the items that is missing from your kit can be found at the beauty supply store. I would recommend that you buy a box of disposable gloves for $2.99 or buy those yellow kitchen gloves and just use that for the relaxer. You can buy a cape that can be used over and over again. And also, to help with the scalp burning, try applying a pre-creame to your scalp before you apply the relaxer. Ultra sheen has one and it comes in a tub for $5.99 which lasts a long time.
hey can you guys check out my video and tell me what yall think..this is my first video so dont be harsh.lol...subscribe..im gonna have contests coming up so stay tuned..tell ya friends
Personally I bring my own relaxer to the shop, Motions Lye Relaxer, but it is missing everything, it just comes in a TUB, no shampoo, no conditioner, no gloves, no setting lotion, I can dip on every other process if necessary but I am a little weary about my chemicals I must go to the salon for my cut, color and relaxer. The rest I can skimp on.
you Right about a cape, also them gloves you can really use. I mean by that better quality that fit and don't break while you putting them on. And scalp preparer. Disposable clips, to part hair. Do I have to go on??? LOL
The gloves aren't only too big, they are WAAAAAAY too cheap. The vaseline that comes with some of them is just that. It does not stop your scalp from being burned when you have been scratching. I think that it should come with an empty cup. When I retouch, I don't use all of the product, so I need to mix it in a bowl I'll never use again. Two wooden sticks and an easy-to-clean empty bowl.
i wanted the same things and i just started using PROFECTIV Mega Growth relaxer and its comes with a plastic cup to mix in 2 sticks, 2 sets of gloves and the cream is separated into 2 little cut open packs that way if u are doing a touch up u only have 2 use one but if u are doing a full relaxer u can use both.
I dont complain can you imagine not having a relaxer to bring home? Yes the gloves are huge and they slip but I never use gloves I like my fingers to feel the new growth.
Since it is a recession and a relaxer here in NC and in SC can cost 60 dollars to 90 dollars I have decided to boycott the creamy crack we know as relaxer.
I used Pink brand relaxer, touch up kit and it comes with the olive oil packet, that could help your friend. I just bought a comb out cape for like $3 from the beauty supply. I do my relaxer and a few others women, I just use it, wipe it down and re-use it.
To all those who use relaxers .If your scalp is burning its time for you or your hairdresser to wash the relaxer out this means your scalp is irritated. Who cares if you didn't get you hair straight enough your causing damage to your scalp. That why you have all these sores in your head and damaged hair. Relaxers aren't bad for your hair. The person applying the product needs to know what they are before attempting to apply a relaxer. Some professionals still use the product incorretly.
@ Teirrah30 While irritation to the scalp before a relaxer can be damaging, some people just have scalps that are far too sensitive for a relaxer. I went to several hair stylists some that had been in the hair industry for as much as 25 years and the outcome of my relaxers was always the same. I never irritated my scalp, I didn't even touch it, brush it or comb. I had extreme burning resulting in scabs and scarring on the scalp. In my late teens I gave up perms and went natural.
You are so right. Stylists have the nerve spray oil sheen, turn on fans whateva you allow them to do..lol If properly applied the maximum time should be 20-30min.They take too darn long applying & then smoothing each section. If you stick to the manufacturers instructions you won't have to spray oil sheen and fan your hair. I still stand by LIV base creme. I also use MIZANI SENSITIVE RELAXER. Most shops won't invest in a base creme any!
well i sue just for me still i know i am 30 but it really works great on my hair i dont need gloves or cape. but i know some ppl that can def use them .
Although I haven't permed my hair in 7 years it would've been nice back then if relaxer kits came with Summit Sensitive Scalp base. I never burned when I applied it to my scalp prior to perming, it's perfect for the person who burns easily. After applying it I would let it sit in my hair for at least 10-15 minutes, it works very well.
If your not use to doing an at home relaxers I feel some sea breeze would be good to have. No one wants those oozing sticky eeww nasty sores, so poring some sea breeze after your relaxer is a good idea to prevent that. Its an antiseptic and it heals the scalp from the sores. Oh and another thing mizani have this flat spatula type thing, wide like a brush but better than a brush because it won't snag the hair
I guess I would have to say better gloves. I Hate at home relaxer kits for the simple fact it never comes out as well as when I get it done at the shop or have some1 with experience do it. I wish they weren't so harsh to the hair.
Wow, I don't do at home relaxers. At all. I am not natural by any means. I have very kinky hair and get a relaxer about every 3 months but rule number 1 for the Army Diva is NO kitchen perms!!!!!!!!
Sorry Ateya. :-)
in the words of Mos Def from Italian Job "I had a bad experience"
but I must have my hair based with any relaxer. even with my thick hair, I must be based because I sweat profusely.
@BnanaPdn they used to have (or maybe dey still have in d kids kits..i kinda "upgraded" d d adult one years ago)..but u can use a vaseline or any vaseline-based hair product to protect ur scalp...dats wat my hairdresser told m..=) (i did,n it worked) =D
Not dogging the natural hair sisters, Love you guys, but what is the point of commenting saying "nothing because i'm natural"?? i don't really understand
I alternate between Revlon Dual Pack or Pink Oil. I use them very sparingly...I wear braids and protective styles so the relaxer is just to keep my own hair neat when I need to wear ME! I would like a wide tooth comb and better gloves. Some times I can't find a comb or want to mess up one of mine. I usually just buy a bag or box of latex gloves and keep them for when I do relaxer. I like the cape idea. Good Video! OXOX from Cali
I now use Hawaiian Silky Herbal 3 in 1 conditioning relaxer. Which I just love, it does not call for any mixing,and using this line I have been experiencing less breakage, and my roots are smooth ,shiney, and sooo soft. Afterwards I do a protein treatment with ION.
i use the olive oil relaxer kit. it comes with all the products u would need 2 relax ur hair even gloves that fit! n 4 capes u can get them from any beauty store well at least mines but i do know sally's sells them 2.
this is kinda off topic. but i dont like when they spray that olive oil spray on my scalp when its burning, cause thats just taking away the pain, not the sores it'll leave in it head. so just cause the burning stops for a few seconds, its still eating at ur scalp/hair.
When I was relaxing my own hair, I used disposable latex gloves, and an old hospital gown. The gloves fit more snug, and the gown was perfect! I color my hair, so I still use my own gloves and the hospital gowns. I would like to see applicator combs or brushes in the kits.
First where did you get that flower ring in this video, I want one. What missing is a sample of Sea Breeze for any burns and helps the scalp and a sample of PH activator to put back the PH balance after relaxing.
Actually I'll rather buy a reusable cape. You'll probaly save more but I agree with th gloves. They can be more fitted and they can include an extra pair.
Overall, I prefer my perms to come with a vaseline pack, a good shampoo and conditioner, moisturizer, and setting lotion. An extra pair of fitted gloves will be good too.
egg beater type device to mix the activator and relaxer 2gether, my hands get tired & crampy trying to get all the lumps out. and i always use the instruction sheet as a protective place mat to sit my relaxer on so i won't get a mess on the counter or table so a diposable place mat would be nice to keep messy combs,application brush, stiring stick etc.on. and a protein treatment., better quality gloves, the thin plastic ones break easily if u have fingernails, & an xtra bowl if u only need 1/2
i use optimum sure, antibreakage and repair something.. i love how it works with my super thick and kinky hair... love you ateeyaaaa... love you.. IM IN NEW YORK!!!! hope you love it here!!!!!
Ateyya this was a very good question because I have braids now and afterward I'm going to use the ORS and go to my stylist and have a deep condition, hot oil treatment, and color (I wear it red). I was thinking of this "What do I need to to buy for my hair these braids".
1. If you are going to do this process at home for a while it might benefit your pockets better to just purchase a nice cape from the supply store. If they add it to the box it will increase the price.
2. To prevent burning, just oil your scalp prior to application.
3. For short hair girls I wish they had a second set of gloves, because usually you are only using half the jar and the other half later.
I switch up my perms between a Just for Me and PCJ (my hair can't handle an adult perm). Just for Me has two really great hair treatments in the box. Hair treatments and a quality conditioner is something that is definitely lacking in most perms.
Ive been using bontanicals by soft and beautiful i think. its pretty good, its a lil less than 5 dollars at walmart. a lil more at Sallys. what other relaxers are good?
I like this relaxer as well because I like the products that are as natural as possible because my stylist uses the KeraCare but makes my hair silky straight but my hair was not as strong after world. I don't mind a little hold from my hair. I have a good flat iron. But, I got to the stylist for cut, deep condition, and hot oil treatment. I want to know how to do the deep condition and hot oil treatment at home because it seems so simple. Don't know what product to buy.
Oh-spraying olive oil sheen on your scalp to temporarily stop the burn is not good for your hair/scalp. It's still damaging your hair/scalp. If it is burning ... WASH IT OUT - EVEN IF IT HASN'T REACHED THE TIME IN THE DIRECTIONS PAMPHLET!!!
This is why so many people have overprocessing and chemical damage. Any EXCELLENT stylist wouln't allow it to stay on when it's burning. I know it gives you a bone straight result but at serious expense to your hair's heath. This is a SERIOUS chemical.
a relaxer brush to apply the relaxer to the hair sally's sells some great ones but i'm always losing it! if it came in the kit I wouldn't get all the way home only to realize I can't find it!
I use ORS Olive Oil Relaxer and the only addition should be the Replenishing Pak (conditioner). They cost $1.09 so it shouldn't raise the price much.
For the price you get what you need. If they added more it would cost more and the "extras" would be single use.
It's more cost effective to buy your cape (reusable), relaxer brush (reusable) and gloves (a whole box of 30 for $3 - that's 15 relaxers!)! That could last you years and all you have to do is buy the box kit every 3-4 months!
I think that a Neutralizer would be a good addition to some at home kits. If you don't stop the chemical reaction, it will just keep going(relaxing) so to speak. I have my own neutralizer but some people don't know the importance of a neutralizer, so they just dont use it because they aren't aware.
I was hoping to ask you if you could model some skimpy underwear and panties. Hope I'm not out of line. I respect all women. Now, how bout it, biotch?!
It really depends on which relaxer kit you are currently using because some of the things people are mentioning already come in other brands. So it really comes down to are you more interested in the relaxer or the extras.
everything that you mentioned can be bought seperatly at a Beauty Suply store and yous can keep it and use them and use them everytime you relax your hair. If you want all those things to come in a kit just imagine how expensive that kit would be so that really defeats the porpuse of saving money from going to the salon. Purchase a box of gloves that fit for 3 dlls with a bunch of goves for very use, Salon cape for les than 8 dls, Olive oil and an empty spra bottle, combs ect ect. just a point!
To retun to putting Color Coded Shampoo. I always had to buy the ISOPLUS shampoo. Because It takes at least 5-7 shampoos for the perm to be totally rinsed out of my hair.
That is why I had been doing my own perms for years. Also to add more shampoo those little bottles don't get it!
Lol @ DSm...I feel you! I hope she visits PHILLY soon!!! Yea!!!! Home of the famous "CHEESESTEAKS & SOFT PRETZELS" Thanks Ateyaaa for the tip on the olive oil thingy! Lol.
More shampoo, more conditioner, better gloves, proper base, some kind of protectant for your previously relaxed hair, applicator brush, Restorative leave in conditioner, instructions that are easier to read, hair clips to section off you hair (I know some of my suggestions are far fetched but I would pay way extra for a deluxe all inclusive kit). Thanks Ateyaaa! You are the best!

And also, to help with the scalp burning, try applying a pre-creame to your scalp before you apply the relaxer. Ultra sheen has one and it comes in a tub for $5.99 which lasts a long time.

Personally I bring my own relaxer to the shop, Motions Lye Relaxer, but it is missing everything, it just comes in a TUB, no shampoo, no conditioner, no gloves, no setting lotion, I can dip on every other process if necessary but I am a little weary about my chemicals I must go to the salon for my cut, color and relaxer. The rest I can skimp on.

The gloves aren't only too big, they are WAAAAAAY too cheap. The vaseline that comes with some of them is just that. It does not stop your scalp from being burned when you have been scratching. I think that it should come with an empty cup. When I retouch, I don't use all of the product, so I need to mix it in a bowl I'll never use again. Two wooden sticks and an easy-to-clean empty bowl.

i wanted the same things and i just started using PROFECTIV Mega Growth relaxer and its comes with a plastic cup to mix in 2 sticks, 2 sets of gloves and the cream is separated into 2 little cut open packs that way if u are doing a touch up u only have 2 use one but if u are doing a full relaxer u can use both.

NewsomesMrs08 2 years ago
To all those who use relaxers .If your scalp is burning its time for you or your hairdresser to wash the relaxer out this means your scalp is irritated. Who cares if you didn't get you hair straight enough your causing damage to your scalp. That why you have all these sores in your head and damaged hair. Relaxers aren't bad for your hair. The person applying the product needs to know what they are before attempting to apply a relaxer. Some professionals still use the product incorretly.
teirrah30 2 years ago 4

myshowTVDIVA 2 years ago
@ Teirrah30 While irritation to the scalp before a relaxer can be damaging, some people just have scalps that are far too sensitive for a relaxer. I went to several hair stylists some that had been in the hair industry for as much as 25 years and the outcome of my relaxers was always the same. I never irritated my scalp, I didn't even touch it, brush it or comb. I had extreme burning resulting in scabs and scarring on the scalp. In my late teens I gave up perms and went natural.
reserectcc 2 years ago
100% Agree
You are so right. Stylists have the nerve spray oil sheen, turn on fans whateva you allow them to do..lol If properly applied the maximum time should be 20-30min.They take too darn long applying & then smoothing each section. If you stick to the manufacturers instructions you won't have to spray oil sheen and fan your hair. I still stand by LIV base creme. I also use MIZANI SENSITIVE RELAXER. Most shops won't invest in a base creme any!

Although I haven't permed my hair in 7 years it would've been nice back then if relaxer kits came with Summit Sensitive Scalp base. I never burned when I applied it to my scalp prior to perming, it's perfect for the person who burns easily. After applying it I would let it sit in my hair for at least 10-15 minutes, it works very well.

If your not use to doing an at home relaxers I feel some sea breeze would be good to have. No one wants those oozing sticky eeww nasty sores, so poring some sea breeze after your relaxer is a good idea to prevent that. Its an antiseptic and it heals the scalp from the sores. Oh and another thing mizani have this flat spatula type thing, wide like a brush but better than a brush because it won't snag the hair

I alternate between Revlon Dual Pack or Pink Oil. I use them very sparingly...I wear braids and protective styles so the relaxer is just to keep my own hair neat when I need to wear ME! I would like a wide tooth comb and better gloves. Some times I can't find a comb or want to mess up one of mine. I usually just buy a bag or box of latex gloves and keep them for when I do relaxer. I like the cape idea. Good Video! OXOX from Cali

Actually you should prime your scalp.
Like I previous stated. It doesn't have
a negative effect on the processing/straighting of the relaxer.
I use Mizani Sensitive Scalp and still
prime my scalp. It works and relaxer
comes out straight.

Actually I'll rather buy a reusable cape. You'll probaly save more but I agree with th gloves. They can be more fitted and they can include an extra pair.
Overall, I prefer my perms to come with a vaseline pack, a good shampoo and conditioner, moisturizer, and setting lotion. An extra pair of fitted gloves will be good too.

egg beater type device to mix the activator and relaxer 2gether, my hands get tired & crampy trying to get all the lumps out. and i always use the instruction sheet as a protective place mat to sit my relaxer on so i won't get a mess on the counter or table so a diposable place mat would be nice to keep messy combs,application brush, stiring stick etc.on. and a protein treatment., better quality gloves, the thin plastic ones break easily if u have fingernails, & an xtra bowl if u only need 1/2

1. If you are going to do this process at home for a while it might benefit your pockets better to just purchase a nice cape from the supply store. If they add it to the box it will increase the price.
2. To prevent burning, just oil your scalp prior to application.
3. For short hair girls I wish they had a second set of gloves, because usually you are only using half the jar and the other half later.

I like this relaxer as well because I like the products that are as natural as possible because my stylist uses the KeraCare but makes my hair silky straight but my hair was not as strong after world. I don't mind a little hold from my hair. I have a good flat iron. But, I got to the stylist for cut, deep condition, and hot oil treatment. I want to know how to do the deep condition and hot oil treatment at home because it seems so simple. Don't know what product to buy.
BlaqGurl25 2 years ago
Oh-spraying olive oil sheen on your scalp to temporarily stop the burn is not good for your hair/scalp. It's still damaging your hair/scalp. If it is burning ... WASH IT OUT - EVEN IF IT HASN'T REACHED THE TIME IN THE DIRECTIONS PAMPHLET!!!
This is why so many people have overprocessing and chemical damage. Any EXCELLENT stylist wouln't allow it to stay on when it's burning. I know it gives you a bone straight result but at serious expense to your hair's heath. This is a SERIOUS chemical.

I use ORS Olive Oil Relaxer and the only addition should be the Replenishing Pak (conditioner). They cost $1.09 so it shouldn't raise the price much.
For the price you get what you need. If they added more it would cost more and the "extras" would be single use.
It's more cost effective to buy your cape (reusable), relaxer brush (reusable) and gloves (a whole box of 30 for $3 - that's 15 relaxers!)! That could last you years and all you have to do is buy the box kit every 3-4 months!

I think that a Neutralizer would be a good addition to some at home kits. If you don't stop the chemical reaction, it will just keep going(relaxing) so to speak. I have my own neutralizer but some people don't know the importance of a neutralizer, so they just dont use it because they aren't aware.

Purchase a box of gloves that fit for 3 dlls with a bunch of goves for very use, Salon cape for les than 8 dls, Olive oil and an empty spra bottle, combs ect ect. just a point!
