Soft & Beautiful Just for Me! Naturally Gentle Texture Softener 1ea.

"The directions were a bit hard to follow but overall a great product. It worked on my afro and didn't straighten it out. It loosed my own curls and is still going strong. It did NOT burn my skin. I got some on my ear and didn't even notice for about 30 minutes and there was no burns or scars. I was quite happy."

"I was hesitant about buying this product and was worried about what people would think, but like another poster said, it's me that has to deal with my daughter's hair. My daughter (who is African American) cried every time I had to comb her hair because it hurt her head so badly. We were both getting frustrated because I couldn't comb her hair, and I dreaded washing it because that made it even worse and the combing hair process even longer! My daughter has very thick and wavy hair that is fuzzy, dry, hard to manage and maintain, and attracts lots of dirt and lint. Combing and brushing her hair literally made it break off. I tried so many remedies and products for her hair and NOTHING worked or it was a temporary solution. I thought her hair was hopeless and deep down thought that my baby was "scorned" with terrible hair. Her hair always looked a mess and I know that kids would surely make fun of her because of it. Ponytails never looked right because they were too puffy and didn't hang right. I was running out of options and decided to try this. Believe it or not, this was the best decision I made concerning her hair. The texturizer was very mild on her hair and it didn't burn her not even once. I washed it, and immediately I felt the difference in her hair. She didn't cry and she even noticed the difference too. As soon as I finished applying the treatments, I styled her hair with no problems. It left her hair nice and soft, it smelled good, and she was soooo happy. For the first time, I didn't have to fight with her hair! It looked beautiful! Nice and smooth around the edges, and no poof. She has nice loose curls and waves and I can manage it without being frustrated. This is the best product that has come our way. I'm still not a fan of chemical on young hair, but I just couldn't stand the torture of trying to comb her hair any longer. No little girl should have to endure hours of pain from getting their hair combed. My daughter doesn't mind NOW, when I ask to comb her hair. And with that, I will continue to use this product."

"I'm not a professional stylist, but I agree you have to read the instructions carefully before you use this product. It says, clear as day, not to over manipulate the texturizer after application. The directions more or less say manipulating it will straighten the texture. It will work more like a relaxer (or perm) if you "work it through" like someone applying a relaxer - so I don't think the product is misleading. I have very coarse, thick hair - let's face it, it's nappy. I don't use this word to offend, but I'm not biracial or multicultural - I can't think of a better way to describe it. We are talking regular coarse kinky African American hair. I used this product after wearing braids for 3 months - so I had lots of new growth as my hair grows fast. I look like a different person! I didn't want a "bone straight" relaxer and as a non-professional I was afraid to apply a kit to my head by myself. Although my hair is straighter, I still have some natural wave/curl pattern that I find quite lovely. It's very soft and manageable. I'm thinking of using this for a while instead of a traditional relaxer at a shop (I can save money doing it myself). Since it doesn't burn (I got some on my neck and ear, and it didn't burn), I feel it's not as harsh as a relaxer.



And FYI all texturizers and relaxers contain alkali-hydroxides. So-called no-lye relaxers/texturizers contain lithium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide which are chemically similar to sodium hydroxide (lye). Some actually contain lye, but get away with not listing it or calling themselves "no-lye" because it's a lower concentration. I am a chemical engineer, so I am familiar with the chemistry."

"This product was introduced to me just 9 months ago and her hair is "STILL MANAGABLE" since than, my daughter's hair was VERY,VERY,VERY thick and hard to comb through. I would hurt her everytime, this product was introduced to me by my beautician and she told me that it would be good for my daughter's hair "DO TO IT WAS NOT AT ALL HARSH LIKE A REAL PERM" and she was not lying. I can comb through her hair now it is softer, shiney, managable and most of all it did not burn her "AT ALL" So mothers if you have a hard time with your daughter's hair Please,Please try this on it and you will be happy and so will she. Also never let anybody talk bad about you or your decision on what you want to do with your baby's hair because you have to comb it everyday not them. Also never allow "ANYBODY" to talk about your babies hair in front of her because it brings her selfesteem down : ( So with saying that keep it condition and use a good detangler daily spray (Soft and Beautiful Detangler Daily Spray is awesome and it also conditions the hair) if needed through your 12 week wait and use "Leve" a daily cream condition (in a red and white jar" for daily use on her hair this keeps it shiney and well condition throughout the day. I also use a Satin cap on her at night that keeps it healthy to and as for you mom's on the go you dont have to comb it in the morning if your like me I comb her hair at night. Also wash it with "Cream of Nature Shampoo/Conditioner Detangler" as my mother did with me and my older sister and our hair is down to our backs. So happy combing........"

"This product worked well on my 5 year old's hair. Her hair was very thick and long, we had our battles every morning. It got to the point where I would braid it and keep it that way as long as I could just to prevent a fight. I was a little bit afraid of what the results would look like, so I washed it out rather quickly. It did just what I wanted. Her hair is still thick but soft with waves and very managable, I can sill braid it and put it in all kinds of little girl styles. She has no breakage and I keep her hair moisterized. I will not retouch until we start having battles again. I will be using this product on her 7 year old sister this weekend."

"I just bought this product today to use on my own hair. After a lifelong love/hate affair with my hair, I decided to stop using relaxers for about a year. I was alternating with braids and pin curls to keep heat off of my hair, but still dreaded to comb out my hair because it hurt! And it took too long to do anything with it! I didn't wish to go the press and curl route anymore and just wanted my hair to be manageable! My hair is very thick (which was a surprise to me after using relaxers until I was 32. After applying the texture softener, I saw my curl pattern change and when I washed it out..it felt good on my scalp..do it right and it won't burn at all..my scalp would burn with a kiddie perm! So I was so surprised that this did not burn me at all! I decided to do a blow out and flat iron and my hair just looks and feels amazing..I think because this doesn't completely break the peptide bond in the hair, it is much healthier. My hair looks better than any relaxer treatment I have had. I am very pleased with this and can go curly or straight if I choose to. For me, it is the answer to my prayers...and if you live in a place where finding someone to do black hair is a problem, this would be a good idea. Follow the instructions for your hair type..or do that strand test to know exactly how long to leave it in...I just wanted managability and I got that and more...and when I finished my son said WOW mommie your hair looks good..and that was before I did anything with it. What a sweetie. Even though it did straighten near the nape, I am just glad that I can do something with it, or not if I feel like it. Find what works for you and that is all that matters. Keep it healthy your way."

"As I read the reviews it saddens me to see such negative comments. Being a licensed hair stylist that wears her hair completely natural, I found it to be a great product that allowed me to have the flexibility to wear my hair straight or curly. Often times many people speak negatively about a product because they haven't done their research and furthermore don't have a clue about the composition of hair. 9 times out of 10, people are upset because they failed to use the product the PROPER way. IF YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE A RELAXER AFTER USING THIS PRODUCT IT'S BECAUSE YOU LEFT IT ON TOO LONG AND DIDN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU OVERPROCESSED YOUR CHILDS HAIR AND SHOULD SEEK A PROFESSIONAL STYLIST. One thing they always taught us to do in Cosmetology school was to READ the manufacturers instructions throroughly BEFORE applying and follow them as directed. I received great satisfaction from using this product."

"The directions were a bit hard to follow but overall a great product. It worked on my afro and didn't straighten it out. It loosed my own curls and is still going strong. It did NOT burn my skin. I got some on my ear and didn't even notice for about 30 minutes and there was no burns or scars. I was quite happy."

"I purchased the Just For Me texturizer for my 6 year old daughter. Her hair is shoulder length and incredibly hard to manage. Her hair was much softer when she was younger but as she got older it was a chore to even part her hair. She usually wears six or seven ponytails...this is to prevent her hair from getting matted. I even wash her hair in the same sections. Washing, drying, and combing takes approximately 5 hours. Her hair is so tangled and the process is painful.



My friends warned me against puting chemicals on my daughters hair but I honestly did not know how to manage it. So this morning, I applied the texturizer to her hair. The key to this product is READING THE DIRECTIONS carefully. I read the directions multiple times the day before and twice before I began. I've read that many people complain of straight hair...the directions clearly state that you should not pull the hair or over manipulate it because it will straighten the texture. I applied the product in approx 7 mins and I left it on for approx 7 mins. This depends on the texture of the hair. Each child is different. Her hair is still curly, and the texture is much softer and relaxed so her hair appears to be longer instead of drawn up to her head. With that being said, her hair does not appear to be permed.



It feels good to comb her hair and she is no longer crying...A MILLION THANKS FOR THIS PRODUCT!!!!"

"I am a 59 year old Black woman with waist length wavy hair. I am not half anything. THIS WORKS! With my roots growing in straight I don't have to do a touch up for up to 6 months. The first application took 2 jars, now I only need 1 for touch ups. When I want it straight I blow dry it but I prefer a rubber banded pony tail after a shampoo. I divide the pony tail and put pink oil on it, when it dries I have long curls. I have saved so much money. I don't tie my hair up at night and generally misuse my hair, and have had no breakage. I will always use this product!Also I have found this product for as cheap as 5.00. But I am an hour away from town and MUST order on line because of the gas outrage."
