5.0 out of 5 stars Choosing the correct Phyto Index, July 16, 2006

By 

Lydia "jazz lover" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Phyto PhytoSpecific PhytoRelaxer Index 1 - Delicate, Fine Hair (Misc.)

I have read all the Phyto Index 1 reviews to date...most negative ones sounded as if they either chose the wrong Index or needed a hair professional to apply the product properly (one must be highly skilled to apply this professional product by one's self and work quickly in application) and be able to judge how to gauge the proper relaxing time...as a trained cosmetologist, esthetician and registered nurse I have used both Index 1 and 2 on friends and relatives with great satisfaction...as a woman of Native-American and Afro-American heritage who has thyroid dysfunction (which can negatively effect the quality of one's hair and scalp) I have used the Index 2 with tremendous satisfaction.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST, March 5, 2009

By 

Leele "Leele" (Florida) - See all my reviews

I've been using this product for the last two or more years and it's the best I've used since I began doing my hair again. The cost of this product is expensive but that's because it contains no lye. All over the counter relaxers contain lye. If the percentage is small enough, the companies are not required to list it as a main ingredient. The reason why Phyto takes 25 minutes to work on the hair is because it does not contain any lye at all. I switched from using Rusk where a hair dresser used that relaxer to burn my hair to the scalp. What I find with most hairdressers is that they want the quick fix. Women want their hair straight now. When you use a relaxer you changing both the physical and chemical structure of the hair permanently. I used to use Aveda's 'Wind Down' before it was discontinued. The hair dresser I used to go to explained that one of the main problems with relaxing the hair is that most people want to do it now and end up using the wrong relaxer, something far too strong and harsh on the hair. This causes major damages the root and scalp. The body then had to repair those damages and that's why they hair seems to be so damaged after you have relaxed it. He said the best thing was to 'train' the hair to respond to the least or mildest amount of chemical so as to cause less damage. I agree, my hair is smoother and softer this way and I still retain my curls only it's less frizzy. The key to this product is reading the directions. Even though I use every three months for new growth, I still read the instructions. I read them twice just to make sure that I'm doing it right. You need to have patience to work with this product because of the detailed timing that it requires. The only think I didn't like about this product which is not enough for me to take points off for, was the washing out. It takes a long time for it to wash out of the hair. I called the company before I purchased it and spoke with their main teaching hair dresser and she explained again to use the product. Most hairdressers, don't like to read the instructions. They believe they know it all. Not all products are same even if they are in the same category.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive results, November 11, 2007

This review is from: Phyto PhytoSpecific PhytoRelaxer Index 1 - Delicate, Fine Hair (Misc.)

I have used at-home relaxers for several years now with average results until I decided to use Phytospecific (Index 1). I purchased the product after seeing a Beauty review that gave it high marks. I also liked that the ingredients were plant-based. Upon CAREFULLY reading the instructions and meticulously following each step and timing recommendation, my results were impressive! After blowing drying and curling, my hair had a luster that I've never achieved with standard over the counter brands. It's soft, full of shine and manageable--which is huge since my hair tends to be unruly. I also noticed that there wasn't the usual harsh chemical smell when using Phytospecific. This product really delivers and I'll definitely continue using it.
