Question:

"I need some personal advice. What relaxer do you use/ recommend? ORS or Motions. This is my first self-relaxer and my mom is doing it. I'm getting a lot of mixed reviews about both, so I'm not sure. Have you used any one of these relaxer, and if so how did it work for you ? thanks :)"

Advice: Yes I've used both throughout my hair journey and here is my honest opinion on both relaxers based on my hair type 4b/c.

Motions Hair Relaxer (Lye)

Pros:

• Leaves a bit of kink in the hair so your not completely bone straight
• Hair feels smooth and silky
• Hair is not over-processed or under-processed
• No Breakage
  

Cons:

• More likely to burn
• Processes the hair quick
• Lacks body
  

Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Relaxer (Lye)

Pros:

• Mild
• Leaves some kink/texture in the hair
• Does not burn
• Hair is smooth, soft and silky
• Processes the hair slowly
• More body & volume
• No Breakage
  

Cons:

• If you don't smooth the new growth enough you can be left with under-processed hair
  

Overall: I prefer the ORS Olive Oil relaxer. I've been using it for almost 2 years now. I loved it since the first time I used it and with continued usage I've noticed a difference in my hair overtime i.e. thickness, strength etc. Based on what my sister says, she found ORS Olive Oil relaxer way too strong (she's a 4a/b hair type). It processed her hair fast and left it pretty straight (straighter than she'd like). So it pretty much all depends on your hair type. That just goes to show that everyone's hair is different and my review is just a guideline. Hope it helps☺

A few people asked me to do a mini review on my fav. hot tools. Here are 2 videos explaining why I love and use the CHI Rocket Blow Dryer and CHI Pink Camo Flat Iron. I got both of these tools as a present last year, however, they can be purchased at folica.com. The videos are kinda choppy since I decided to separate them - Sorry.

Enjoy~
