Description
Product Overview
Africa’s Best Dual Conditioning No‑Lye Relaxer System (Regular strength) is a kit designed to straighten or “relax” natural, curly or coily hair, while simultaneously conditioning and protecting it. It is a “no‑lye” formula, meaning it uses gentler alkali agents (not sodium hydroxide / “lye”) to achieve hair straightening. The “dual conditioning” part means that the product is formulated not just to relax, but also to help maintain moisture, reduce breakage, and nourish the hair with oils and herbal extracts.
It is intended for “Regular” strength — suitable for “normal” hair textures (medium curl/coarseness), not ultra coarse or very fine hair.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |

| No‑Lye formula | Less harsh on the scalp compared to traditional lye relaxers; reduced risk of severe chemical burns and irritation. |
| Dual Conditioning System (relaxer + activator + neutralizer + deep conditioner) | Helps protect hair during the chemical process; adds moisture, nutrients; aims to minimize damage and breakage. |
| African herbal extracts & extra virgin olive oil | These ingredients help soothe, condition, add shine, and maintain hair health. |
| Color‑change indicator in neutralizing shampoo | Helps you know when relaxer residue has been sufficiently removed. This helps prevent over‑relaxing or damage. |
| Deep conditioner included | Restores moisture, nutrients and vitamins after the chemical straightening process. Helps maintain softness, manageability. |
| Reasonable price / wide availability | Many users report this relaxer system gives good results for the price. |

Why Choose This Product?
You might choose Africa’s Best Dual Conditioning No‑Lye Relaxer System (Regular) if you want:
- A relaxer that is gentler than harsh “lye” relaxers, especially if you have sensitive scalp or want less scalp stinging.
- Conditioning along with straightening — the kit includes not just relaxer/activator but also neutralizing shampoo and deep conditioner so you care for the hair in multiple steps.
- Natural/herbal elements (herbal extracts, olive oil) which add moisturizing / nourishing benefits, possibly reducing dryness and breakage.
- Better control / ease of use: the color‑change shampoo helps ensure you remove all relaxer residue, reducing risk of overprocessing the treated parts.
- A system for “regular” hair texture — if your hair is not ultra coarse but also not super fine, this strength offers a balanced straightening without being overly aggressive.
Risks and Precautions
- Even “no‑lye” relaxers are chemical and can damage hair / scalp if misused.
- Do a patch test before full application to check for allergic reaction.
- Don’t use on hair that is severely damaged, extremely weak, or already chemically processed unless advised.
- Avoid overlapping relaxer onto hair that’s already relaxed — that causes breakage.
- Overuse or long processing times can lead to dryness, brittleness, breakage.
How To Use
Relaxers are chemical treatments — care must be taken. The following is a general guide — but always follow the directions included in the particular kit you have.
- Preparation
- Do a strand test first to see how your hair responds (texture, timing, etc.).
- Make sure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Do not apply a relaxer to hair with existing scalp irritation or damage.
- Protect your hairline, ears, and scalp edges with petroleum jelly or protective barrier.
- Mix / Apply Activator + Relaxer
- In the activator component (regular activator), which contains chemicals like guanidine carbonate, mix with the cream relaxer as per directions.
- Start applying to the new growth (roots) or the parts that need relaxing, avoiding overlapping too much onto already relaxed hair.
- Processing Time
- Leave the relaxer on for the time recommended (which depends on hair type, strength, desired straightness). Do not exceed the time limit.
- Check often; do not let the relaxer dry out. If it feels too hot or burning occurs, rinse immediately.
- Rinse and Neutralize
- After the relaxer has processed, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all relaxer is washed out.
- Use the neutralizing shampoo included in the kit. Many kits have a color‑change indicator in the neutralizing shampoo to show when all relaxer residue is removed (i.e. when the neutralizing shampoo turns a certain color, you know it's “clean”).
- Deep Condition
- After the neutralizing shampoo, use the deep conditioner in the kit. Let it penetrate as directed (sometimes with heat is better). This helps restore moisture and strength.
- Rinse & Style
- Rinse out the deep conditioner (unless it’s a leave‑in — check instructions).
- Style gently. Avoid harsh heat or repeated processing until hair has had time to recover.
- Aftercare
- Maintain moisture: regular conditioning, avoiding over‑shampooing with harsh sulfates, using leave‑in moisturisers.
- Trim ends as needed.
- Retouch new growth only (not whole hair) when needed to avoid overprocessing the existing relaxed hair.
