As with all other relaxers, it should be applied to new growth (roots only!).

Generally, NO. If you've straightened your hair with any product containing thio (Japanese straightening, Bio-Ionic, thermal reconditioning), you must let it grow out. This uses a different process. Combining the two is like combining the two chemicals that make Nair. Not pretty. A site called Hair Boutique.com has a decent article about hair straighteners vs. relaxers and gives this product high marks.

Question
Will this product damage hair that has already been relaxed once with another chemical (thio)?
I recently (about 3 months ago) had my hair relaxed at a salon. The active ingredient in the relaxer was thio. At a minimum, I would like to relax the regrowth myself, and also possibly apply the relaxer to the rest of my hair to get it a bit straighter. (The salon product left it more curly that I would like.) I have extremely curly/kinky/frizzy hair that is also very fine and delicate.

If you use this or ANY straightener over a thio-based product, it's like using NAIR on your hair. I used this product last year after I thought all my bio-ionic straightened hair had grown out (chin-length, one year later). The last inch of my hair started to literally dissolve, and I freaked out. I had to get that inch chopped off. However, the rest of my hair was great and I loved the results. I have really wavy, thick hair. Just BE CAREFUL!

I normally use a "regular" strength relaxer because it will not dry out or damage my hair like a "coarse" strength relaxer will.

Do NOT use this product if you have already chemically relaxed your hair with a Japanese or bio-ionic type product. It is the same chemical reaction as using Nair on your hair. I thought I had grown out all my relaxed hair, but the last inch was still "relaxed" and literally melted. The next time I used it - it was great.

If you want bone straight hair and your hair is really coarse, I would use index 2. Index 1 would only work like a texturizer.

Absolutely! Obviously, everyone's hair is different so results will vary however, it worked on my dry, brittle, badly damaged relaxed hair like baby's breath!!! Ok, a little dramatic but you get the point! Be open minded and give it a shot, after all... nothing tried, nothing done!

I blow dry and flat iron the same day I relax. I use the conditioning creme to protect from the heat. I would recommend letting the hair air dry a little before using the blow dryer. My stylist recommended against putting heat on soaking wet hair.

This product is for straightening so if you are looking for a texturizer, this is not for you. If you are looking to straighten your hair safely this is for you. Check out their other products. They have a pretty diverse line
