SoftSheen-Carson Dark and Lovely Triple Nourished Silkening Relaxer No-Lye Regular Strength with Shea Butter, Jojoba and Avocado Oils, Regular

This relaxer worked really well on my hair. It left my hair smooth, soft, and shiny without feeling too dry. I also liked that it contains shea butter, jojoba, and avocado oils because my hair felt more nourished after using it. Easy to apply and gave me great results.

It's a wonderful hair product. It perfectly fulfills what it promises: deeply nourishes and the change is noticeable from the first use. I will definitely buy it again.

A little back story mixed in with my review; I bought the giant bucket of affirm and tried 3 or four different ways to apply the relaxer (with and without base applied, without and without strand protection product, etc) and my hair kept reverting to my fro with moisture in the air or sweat from my scalp. I gave up and bought this box relaxer thinking I needed a stronger formula (even though I grew up receiving relaxers and always knew my hair to respond well to “gentle formulas”) after some google searching. I left the affirm on my hair up to 30 min and it still reverted. This Dark and Lovely was on for all of 5 min in the most resistant section of my hair and when I went back to smooth, I noticed that the effort to work it in was already enough to get it smooth and it stayed. So I moved on to other sections, and the application took me all of a little over 15 min (grown out pixie cut length, just under the shortest bob length hair) I just took one extra minute to smooth all over in a pretty lazy way then went to rinse. Not even a tingle yet and I was nervous because I had been scratching my scalp freely (lol) and I did not apply a base/scalp protectant. I rinsed for a good amount of time, only applied each product step afterwards once, I wish I had either shampooed or done the conditioner step twice because despite my long rinsing, heavy application of the neutralizing conditioner, I still had a section that I smelled the slightest bit of the relaxer odor when I went to blow dry. Nothing fell out, still no burning, I flat ironed and it came out great, but I do feel if the odor was there, I could have done a better neutralizing and shampooing job. So double up on that yall. (I know for next time) my hair stayed smoothed out, no puffing back up, and also this was done about two weeks post color lift treatment, I did not have bleach applied to my roots, I left dark roots while lifting to a light blonde. Of course some relaxer overlapped the color treated area, again, everything is just fine. I did a cosmetic code search and found that my batch of D&L was made in June of this year, i bought it mid September and used October 1. I did the same search on my affirm (Avlon) relaxer and the results said their code could either be Jan this year or sometime in 2022. With results I kept getting, I believe it may have been the latter. Be careful where you buy your products, (I got it off Amazon) but we all know relaxers were sitting idle on shelves during the natural hair movement) verify the batch production date with a quick search to ensure you get something will be effective and not old stock. Overall this was very easy to apply, I used the regular formula, not the super because Google told me the regular was stronger than most gentle formula relaxers out there, I only recommend double neutralizing steps, but not because of any burning or tingling just to get it all off the strands, the post relaxer steps also smell very good, I don’t recommend the last little leave in conditioner because it was a little heavy. I would say use a good leave in spray-heat protectant (Avlon has great options for these) and this is a novice friendly box set. Thanks for reading!

Brought 3 times. Really does wonders for my hair, Really straightened my hair, and leaves it soft

I’ve used this for years but the last few boxes I’ve received were about half full. If you have lots of thick hair it is barely enough for touch ups! I buy 2 boxes at a time in case I run out since the quantity is smaller in the tub. Still makes my hair shiny and still works like it used to you are just getting less product.

This has been the best my hair has felt after a relaxer. It felt moisturized and healthy. The product was packaged neatly and shipped well. It didn’t look thrown together haphazardly. But, my hair!! It feels and looks amazing. It’s not dry and brittle. It feels soft and has a sheen. I’ll definitely be ordering again.

No disappointment my hair is shiny and smells good this perm is a good. I love the perm and will purchase again 💜💜💜

Bone straight hair. This is the most effective non-lye relaxer I’ve used. Gets hair bone straight in a short amount of time. Didn’t really care for step 6, the oil moisturizer, but appreciated step 3, the protein treatment. Would use again and again!

Este producto me encantó, me gusta que viene varios frascos con su correspondiente función en el cabello, me dejó el cabello super alaciado, lo seguiré comprando

Gentle and effective Thank you,

My order came sooner than expected and it is perfect, I love the smell

Já uso esse produto há muito tempo. Dessa vez o cabelo caiu demais, quase careca. A embalagem veio aberta, não sei se houve alteração do produto, só sei que deixarei de usar.

Did the job well
