Linange Alter Ego Shea Butter Cream Relaxer, 16 Ounce

I'm going to start by saying that this product is amazing seriously. No weird chemical smell. I'm usually really sensitive to my scalp but with this product its amazing no burn no itchy scalp. I'll tell you my step to stepStep 1Day 1 ) I first wash my hair and put apple cide vinegar 1cup water 3 tbps apples cider vinegar. Put it for 20 min then wash.Step 2Day 2 )I made sure my hair wash not wet and separated them in 4 parts then apply it to my the bottom to the ends. Once I was finished for me it's was 20 min from start to finish but because my hair was a tight frezz but you can know when it's done by twisting your finger around a strip of hair and if it falls down its time to wash.Step 3I got the Neutralizing shampoo from Amazon and it's perfect because it's pink until the relaxer is all gone then it turns white. I leave it 15 min then wash and to make sure I use it again but wait 5min and wash.Step 4I apply the renewing argan oil of morocco extra penetrating. You can also find this product on amazon. Then I let my hair dry naturally.Step 5I iron my hair but don't forget to forget to add a heat protector:)I hope this can't help you and I'm really hair with my resultsGaby 😄

So, LOVE this relaxer. Why? My hair is happy, healthy, not breaking, and back down to my shoulder blades - it hasn't been that long since I got out of high school. Here's my story.I visited a new hairdresser after moving to Houston a few years ago. This super-strength-relaxer-happy hairdresser chemically scalped me, leaving about 1" of hair, where I had any at all. My hair is delicate and had always had mild relaxer put on it, until then, which was taken off almost as fast as it was put on. Yep.After that horrendous experience, after my scalp healed and my hair started to grow back, I tried out various texturizers to minimize treatment. I loosened the curl in my hair in spots where it needed it only. And it began to grow again. My curls were neat, healthy, and MINE - I hate wigs. Along the way, I discovered Linange products (texturizer, neutralizing conditioner, and restructuring mask). I fully credit them for the healthy hair and scalp I have now. Just this summer, I decided to go back to wearing straight hair, and naturally, I turned to the Linange relaxer because of the good experience I had with their texturizer.What can I say? I LOVE it, and I love my hair: the Linange Shea Butter Cream relaxer works just like I hoped it would, and just as I have come to expect from Linange products. My natural curl pattern is 4B on the right side and lower right back of my head from the top of my ears down, It is mixed 4A-4B on the left back and left side below the ear top, and 3C on top. So chemically-treating my hair can be tricky at the best of times.I have no problem with the Linange Relaxer. I section off the hair carefully, and time carefully. I can relax my hair without damage. I use coconut oil on my scalp and skin, and a little on my hair ends prior to relaxing, neutralize with Linange Neutralizing conditioner (NO SHAMPOO), and condition with Linange Restructuring mask after, and once a week. My hair handles humidity and heat better, is well-moisturized and undergoes no breakage. Linange Shea Butter Cream Relaxer comes in one strength, as far as I know, but my hair is handling it just fine. I try not to use much heat, however. My hair is very sensitive and delicate, but Linange's products seem to have made it stronger and I use only a light daily hair dressing on it between washing every 3rd day.I've also used this Linange relaxer on my mother's hair, which is badly damaged from over-straightening using an "old-school" buy-it-at-the-grocery-store relaxer. She has finer, less curly, but much drier hair than mine. I'm almost in awe of the difference in it after one relaxer treatment. We let it go natural for six months before relaxing her again - her hair is much more manageable, shiny, and stronger, and the damaged areas aren't so noticable.I highly recommend it, no matter what type of hair you have, if you need to straighten, this is a great product.

I like that it's safe to use and easy to apply

Became one of my top relaxers after the first use!! Keeps your hair strong and thick but gave me the best straightening in a long time! Use their brand conditioner to make sure all the product is completely removes from your hair when washing out the relaxer. I also recommend using another neutralizing shampoo that changes color first then following with the Lange Neutralizing Conditioner. This relaxer wins out for me compared to Motions, ORS Olive Oil, Optimum, Dark and Lovely, African Pride, Just for Me (which is for kids but I had a friend recommend to keep using even as an adult, didn’t work), Dr. Miracle, Silk Elements, Creme of Nature, and Soft and Beautiful.Make sure you always do a test piece. Always have your products (gloves, neutralizing shampoo/conditioner, Vaseline for your skin if you have sensitive skin or ears, a deep conditioner or mask to restore strength to the hair after, etc) purchased and ready before ever starting your relaxing process. I always section my hair and I believe using hair clips helps make parting and applying easier. It also helps save on time. Make sure you always clean any hair tools like combs, rat tails, brushes, clips, etc. that have touched relaxer or been used while relaxing the hair to be sure of no residual products that could cause damage to the hair later. Wash with neutralizing products and let soak/scrub in shampoo. This also helps assure you have leave tools to use on the clean hair once the process is done. Remember once you start putting relaxer on, your time starts but that each piece of hair needs about the same time to process fully and straighten correctly. So you want to be quick when applying and smoothing. Apply to edges last because they need the least about to time. Thicker/coarser parts of the hair first, thinner/more manageable parts last. I’ve always learned that dirtier or unwashed hair was best before relaxing and to never wash your hair or doing any sort of heat processes the day(s) before. Give your hair a break before putting it through a hard process like a relaxer. Pay attention to your scalp! Never relax when you have cuts or open abrasions on your scalp and always treat your scalp after relaxing to revive moisture and protect the skin. Every one has different hair and their own tips/tricks to take care of what they have. This is just what has worked best for me. Hopefully it will help someone else along the way. I also looked on YouTube for reviews for this relaxer before using it so that may be helpful to you too if you’re trying to find what works best for you. Watch someone else apply/use the product or listen to what they have to say about their experience with it.

Best relaxer ever!! My hair feel amazing. :)
