I'm natural and have not had a relaxer in 12 years. I apply JBCO everyday combined with olive oil and coconut oil as a moisturizer.

Well I'm transitioning to natural and I use it in my hair whenever I choose. I use it with leave in conditioner for my twist outs I'm not sure if you are newly relaxed or transitioning but if your newly relaxed I'd wait a little while before using the JBCO because your hair and scalp is usually sensitive right after relaxing, but if you are natural or transitioning you can use it whenever you like just be aware that JBCO tends to itch at the beginning of application but usually the itching fades after your scalp gets use to it.

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

My stylist instructed me to use the product primarily at the roots of my hair, which gives my hair volume & lift, without feeling "tacky". I don't have long hair, but was instructed to pump 6 or 7 times into my hand and massage it mostly into the roots. Of course the rest of my hair gets a "small dose" but it's not where the focus of the application is. The smaller amount the rest of my hair receives keeps it from being "fly away" after styling, without feeling tacky. Of course, I use it on wet hair, before blow drying. If I don't use the product, my fine hair lies limp and flat, with zero lift and style. I've used the product for more than 3 years and and love it.

Hi, I have African American 3B or C also. After conditioning I put coconut oil on hair and then the Giovanni on top. Twist my hair, let it air dry and untwist the next morning. Gently comb into curly afro. If you have dry hair, you might need to add some type of oil also to combat the dryness. I really like the GDLI as it makes my hair very soft, but then it still holds it pattern. I hope this helps.

Idk as far as yr hair type...but if ur looking for an oil tht absorbs w/o oiliness? I would suggest almond oil--but u can try the JBCO and maybe add another light weight oil to it like coconut, almond or even avocado oil to thin it out a bit bc it's very thick...

I use this for my children who are bi-racial and it has been a life saver. I myself have a regular strength relaxer applied to my hair every 6 weeks. I think based on what I have seen this product do for my children, that it may be a bit too mild for both my and your hair, especially if your current relaxer strength is super. I would say be careful and maybe try the strand test if you really want to use it, but I'm not sure that it would give you the result you are looking for.

I would color after the shampoo. Apply, cover with a plastic cap and sit under dryer for up to 20 minutes. Then rinse, condition and dry.

I do. I then put on a little conditioner and then add the Emergencee. Work through hair. The conditioner seems to help it go on better. Leave on for 20 minutes if you can.

Definitely. I have not had a relaxer since February. It straightens my hair just fine.

I use it as a conditioner, leaving it on for at least 5-10 minutes. In my opinion, the product is so thick you wouldn't be able to style your hair with it on.

No my mothers hair is thin & when i did hers it was fine. Id suggest just like 15 maybe 20 seconds depending how curly you want it. I didnt have to pass 20 seconds for her hair it curled beautifully at 20 seconds.

Hi, dear. I'm not sure. I wouldn't relax color treated hair. That's just so many chemicals at once breaking down and altering your hair. You be better off asking a hair-care professional.

I mix 3 T of this oil, 1 T jojoba oil and 1 T coconut oil in a dark colored dropper bottle. You part your hair, apply to scalp and massage for 5 minutes.

Buy this and add Baby Face Protein. Mix well. Place a plastic cap over hair. Buy a Electrical Heating Cap. Apply the Mixture of Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask and Baby Face Protein. Leave heat cap on your head for 20 to 30 minutes. I use it on High Heat. You can use it medium to high heat setting. Whatever temperature is comfortable for you. After 20 or 30 minutes Rinse. Style. Once a week. You don't want to over process or over condition your hair. I found a very good leave-in to use on a daily bases. It's a TEN with keratin.

It's stayed in my hair permanently. It just depends on how you want to do the roots. If your natural hair color matches the color you're dying you could make it stretch 6-8 weeks!

Depending on the condition of your hair, you could recolor right away. If your hair is very dry or over-processed, it would be best to wait 4 to 6 weeks.
