A Farewell to a Natural Gem: Reviewing the Discontinued All-Natural Hair Relaxer

It is with a heavy heart that I share my review of the now-discontinued all-natural hair relaxer that has been a beloved staple in my hair care routine. This remarkable product has truly left an indelible mark on the world of hair care, and its absence will be deeply felt. From the very first use, I was captivated by the exceptional quality of this hair relaxer. Unlike conventional relaxers that often rely on harsh chemicals, this product harnessed the power of natural ingredients to deliver impressive results. Its unique blend of plant-based extracts and nourishing oils not only relaxed my hair but also left it feeling softer, healthier, and more vibrant than ever before. I've even relaxed my course hair twice within 7 days and absolutely no breakage. One of the most remarkable aspects of this natural hair relaxer was its gentle yet effective approach. It managed to tame my dry, frizzy 4c hair while maintaining the integrity of my hair’s natural texture. This balance is something I have never encountered in other products, and it’s a testament to the care and innovation that went into its formulation. Another standout feature was the delightful fragrance that accompanied each application. Unlike the overwhelming chemical odors that often accompany hair relaxers, this product exuded an extremely mild scent that made the application process a sensory pleasure. Beyond its performance, I deeply appreciated the brand’s commitment to sustainability. The packaging was thoughtfully designed with eco-friendly materials, showcasing the company’s dedication to both the well-being of its customers and the planet. As I bid farewell to this exceptional all-natural hair relaxer, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness. It’s disheartening to see such a fantastic product leave the shelves. However, I’m also grateful for the positive impact it had on my hair journey and the memories it leaves behind. To anyone fortunate enough to have experienced this extraordinary hair relaxer, I salute you. And to the brand behind it, Phyto thank you for enriching the world of hair care with a truly remarkable and irreplaceable gem. M Armstrong

Good but not salon Great

I am a 58 year old woman and I live in the Charleston SC area with lots and lots of humidity. My hair is curly but as I age my hair has become more and more frizzy. It makes no sense to blow dry because it just frizzes once I step outside. I was nervous to try the Phyto Specific relaxer but there was no reason. The steps are spelled out and my package included everything it stated. The process was time consuming but not hard. I took several washes before my hair was finally neutralized. My hair is not stick straight but it is relaxed, more so at the roots then on the ends. Possibly I didn't pull my hair straight enough. There is no evident smell and my hair feels a little sticky but it is much better than before. I look forward to styling it the next few weeks and see how it goes. I will try to add an update if allowed.

I love Phyto hair relaxer

I have very fine black and the summer humidity and my daily workouts can cause my hair to become kinky and frizzy. I have to be very careful using hair relaxers. Most hair relaxers use lye which can damage most hair types. Photo has 2 types of hair relaxers, one for very fine hair and another for thicker hair. Phyto does not use lye and sources from all natural ingredients. The Photo index 1 for fine hair allows me to relax my hair without damaging it. You do not have to be a professional to use the product. The directions are easy to follow. I can do my daily workouts and not have to worry about my hair.

In the beginning

Several months ago, I first bought this product to test it out and to determine if this relaxer was right for my hair. I must admit I was very apprehensive because I didn't know what to expect. I'm not one for chancing unknown relaxers on my hair. Therefore, doing my research on the product I decided to proceed on the side of caution, hence the reason I ordered the Index 1 for Fine Hair. Well, I am happy to say I love the results I got. I took the product to my hairdresser to apply on my hair and she too was blown away, I mean she was speechless with the process and of course the results! My confidence level in this product has grown tremendously and as such I am now using Index 2 because I have thick hair and it is just a better match for my needs. I highly recommend this product to anyone contemplating whether or not to give it a try. One important note to adhere to, PLEASE, PLEASE follow the product directions and you'll enjoy the benefits of having your hair relaxed without any burns or scalp discomfort!

Best ever relaxer!

Phyto Specific (Index 1) has been my relaxer of choice for the past 5 years. This natural plant-based product is less harsh and more revitalizing to relaxed hair. I would recommend this product for the home do-it-yourselfer and to your personal hairdresser. If the instructions are faithfully followed, you can be assured that your hair will feel better than it has ever felt after being relaxed--more hydrated, soft, and glossy! Customer service at LovelySkin is the best and has determined they are my go-to provider for purchasing this product.

ROCKS for thin hair!

Listen, I’m superrrr picky on everything, and my hairdresser used this on me 1st. But she only uses index 2. Well, I got to use 1, because menopause has done a trick on my hair. Well, I’m in love!! This product is easy to use, and makes my hair soft and shiny!!! I’m a fan!

Not sure of my thoughts

I have used this straightener before (Index 2) from another vendor. Loved it!!!!! However, I decided to downgrade to the Index 1 since my hair is a fine texture. With this product, I had to wash and wash and wash and wash my hair before the shampoo turned white to confirm the product rinsed out. I have had some breakage. Not sure the issue...????

Easy Does It

I’m satisfied with its ability to alter curl pattern but not completely remove (when used lightly and with minimal processing time). When used with other products (silicone free and hydrating - not included in the box kit), results are quite satisfactory. Don’t forget a good deep conditioner to address the needs of your hair.

Appropriately named

I like this product as it keeps the integrity of the hair in tact. It’s pricey. The content in the bottle may seem small, however it gets the job done! I will keep using it as it protects my fine hair.

Use as intructed.... Can be harsh on fine hair

I gave this relaxer another try in 2020 after having had a bad experience in 2013, basically 7 yrs later because I was desperate to control my frizzy curly hair, here in tropical climate South Beach. The reviews were always good so I figured I probably didn't apply it correctly the time before. After my second shot at the hair straightener, the results were different. I think I must've gotten an expired one in 13' since it made my hair stiff and shineless, super thin, flat. It made the strands act in unusual manner when wet, gooey, straight with a weird curl pattern.... I was relieved to see the chemical process completely "revert", despite it being permanent. The 2nd time, the results stayed put and like the 1st round, effect was harsh & extreme. I tried many different hair treatments and oils to reduce the chronic dryness, brittleness & breakage. I never had a chemical relaxer make my hair so hard before, but that's probably my fault since I left it in hair longer than instructed. I advice anyone using this product to follow the steps in the pamphlet exactly as it says. You start at the nape of the neck and as you finish off at the hairline, time should be up soon after and wash out immediately, thoroughly! I waited longer because I wanted the hair surrounding my face to get more treated, similar to the rest of my tresses. Big mistake. Unfortunately, as much as I love this brand, the product did not work out for me and do not look forward to using it again. The keratin treatment is the only thing that helped heal, bring back natural softness.

Relaxer Happy

I’ve been ordering the Phytospecific Relaxer for over a year. It is a very healthy and high performance relaxer–you’ll love it! LovelySkin has the best price as they often have it on sale! My last order was damaged upon receipt. I notified the Customer Care Director, and she was extremely professional and handled the issue by sending me a replacement. I’m totally satisfied with LovelySkin and highly recommend this company.

It’s ok...

The relaxer definitely softens the hair enough to make it manageable; however, after rinsing, hair is a tangled mess! I’m not a fan of needing to yank at my hair right after relaxing!

This relaxer does the trick!

I have never relaxed my hair at home before and I was very nervous. However, the instructions were simple, and I have had no breakage of my hair. I only left the product on for 10 minutes because I just wanted to loosen my curls, not straighten my hair, and I got the results I wanted. After using the enclosed conditioner, my hair feels healthy. The only advice I have is to be prepared to spend a great deal of time, approximately close to 15 minutes, to wash the relaxer out completely. The color of the shampoo changes from pink to white when it is all rinsed out. If you don't do a thorough job with rinsing, you may end up with damaged hair.
