1 week Straightener

I am not interesting in straightening my hair but I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this. It might work well for my mom.

I would be weary if this. It sounds to me like a texturizer. What I would do is look up what the ingrediants really are for ex. the first listed ingrediant is:

ammonium bisulfate. ammonium, ammonia? the cleaning solution? I don't know about this one. I would do a littel more research before doing anything if you are a natural and want to stay that way. Good luck to you.

sorry about that. I didn't know this was a dp, until it popped up. Good luck to you

sounds like a texturizer for sure. they even admitted that after the cream is applied, the hair is very fragile and the cuticles are opened- same thing that happens with texturizers and relaxers

ammoniumj bisulfate is found in tons of crap- relaxers and cleaners included

Thanks for the advice but this is NOT for me. I am happy being nappy. I just thought it could be a milder relaxer for my mother. It actually sounds like it might be.
