I attended the Naked Relaxer class on yesterday. They opened the class up with a prayer. That's always a good sign!
But on to the technical details, this relaxer system is an (8 minute) time release relaxer designed to give a lot of moisture to the hair. The Naked Keratin Plus Reconstructive Masque is lighter than the Naked Honey and Almond Moisture Whip Conditioner. So finer hair will benefit from the lighter conditioner. The relaxer itself only comes in one strength along with the sensitive scalp version which the strengths can be adjusted.
The model pictured has wet hair. The relaxer was completed and neutralized. The model's hair was flat wrapped with the Naked Max premium foam and dried under the rollaway hair dryer.
After the model's hair was dried, she received a haircut.
The model's hair was styled using a flat iron to deliver the final finish.
I am not convinced to start carrying this relaxer because this model did not have coarse hair. I was still unclear as to how much healthier this relaxer is to the other competitors on the market.
I will continue to use some of the styling products from this line. I do not have any existing clients that will benefit from this relaxer at this time.
The Essations Soothing Scalp Base is designed not to drip nor run. Those who sweat a lot may benefit from the product not melting and spreading and becoming messy. However, it is best to use this base only with the Essations relaxer lines. I do not think other relaxer systems work with this particular base due to its ingredients.
