After reading this article, I am shocked to find out that there is no such thing as a non-chemical relaxer. How can many relaxers be marketed as all natural?

there is no such thing as a 100% natural relaxer. you, the consumer fall for it every few years. this blind search leaves you in court every single time. remember rio? japanese straighteners? now watch the keratin treatments.

my question for phyto and its users is if it’s such a quality product, why has it not been marketed to the professional stylist who can then offer the masses a product that’s natural based, healthier, and safer? why sell direct to the consumer and instruct them on how to apply caustic chemical to thier own hair at home? egg and soy huh. ok.

Haha not sure if anyone else caught this. But if you hover over the picture, the word that pops up says liar. LOL! #Fail. #Worstmysteryever (I saw it before I did that but was going to share it to see if my friends could see it. When I went to save, it automatically saved as liar).
