My Relaxer Day Essentials - Featuring ORS Olive Oil Relaxer and ORS Replenishing Conditioner
Friday, March 24, 2017Nothing makes me happier than to relax my hair using the brand I trust most - ORS Olive Oil Professional Crème Relaxer and ORS Replenishing Conditioner!
I look forward to relaxer day not only because I get to see progress i.e. length, thickness etc., but my results are predictable and that's what I love most.
ORS Olive Oil Professional Relaxer has been a staple in my healthy hair regimen for years - I'm talking 2009/10!! It's Bae ❤ I use the Normal strength for my coarse 4b/c strands. Normal strength processes slower - which is a good thing for me. I find that this strength is mild for my hair as it preserves just the right amount of texture giving my hair body and fullness.
I apply my relaxer using my Sprush (in pic above) and the relaxer stays on my new growth for exactly 20 minutes (I use the timer on my phone to ensure I don't go over). I follow up with my neutralizing shampoo process, which is a total of approximately 20 minutes (I do this to ensure the relaxer is completely out of my hair) and then I deep condition.
ORS Replenishing Conditioner is my "go-to" treatment on relaxer day. Why? Because it has the best moisture/protein balance that my hair craves right after a relaxer. Remember, relaxers strip the protein out of your hair, so its best to replenish (no pun intended LOL) the protein back into the hair - sooner than later. Not to mention, the conditioner also helps to restore the moisture levels back into the hair. Don't get me started on the detangling abilities either - my goodness! It's a gem.
Mixing my ORS Replenishing Conditioner with a little Olive oil, Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil for extra penetration and nutrients is a ritual of mine. In fact, if I relax fairly late in the evening (I relax my hair at home), I will deep condition overnight and my hair is like warm butter when I rinse in the morning!! Fact!!
My relaxer day is nothing without these essential products. They are staples and my hair loves them!

My go to relaxer is ORS no lye in regular. I follow up with Silk elements mayonnaise for deep conditioning
ReplyDeletedo you finish all the relaxer? or do you keep the rest for the next relax day?
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks awesome. I'm also relaxing this weekend with ORS but I use the box relaxer. Everyone I know is going natural so I'm beginning to feel the pressure, however I'm not giving in until I reach my goal of bra strap which has taken 4yrs of little progress so far ��
