I have fine hair therefore; I typically perm my hair twice a year. I used 1/2 of this relaxer and as a result my hair texture changed significantly. I washed my hair repeatedly within the first week thinking I did not remove the entire relaxer but the result was and is the same: coarse, lack luster hair. I can't put any heat on it and no amount of moisturizer can add any life to it. I am extremely disappointed in this product since I have used Dark and Lovely for years! Please heed the warning: DO NOT USE!!!
