All you ladies who use Phyto, one more question....

[Denim And Leather]

....and then I'm set to relax (possibly) this weekend!

The instructions say "Do not use hot combs, pression irons, or any other heated implements with the relaxer"

and

"Do not use hot combs 8 days before or immediately after using relaxer"

My question:

Can I use a curling iron or flat iron, say, the day after I relax? Does this mean I cannot use a blow drier after I finish relaxing (Not that I planned to, but thought I'd ask this question anyway.)

TIA!

I think most relaxers advise not to use direct heat after getting a relaxer in order to prevent the strands from being further damaged, however most of us do it anyway because we want to show off our freshly permed hair. I know some ladies who just put their hair in a bun a for a few days after their touch up and then straigten it the following week. I have used phyto for my last 4 touchups and afterwards have gotten a rollerset and then flat-ironed it out (i try to stay away from the blowfryer). I havent seen any ill affects. I would never use a hotcomb on it either.

I did talk to a phyto rep and she recommended not to wash it for at least 3 days afterwards. Something about it opening the cuticle back up and it reverting quicker between touch-ups. Not sure if its true or not.
