Georgia, I've long stopped relaxing my hair. I'm totally natural with my 4b/4c hair texture. Still, I would recommend Sunny Isle's JBCO for hair that's relaxed. I can't imagine this wonderful product would do any harm. Keep in mind that JBCO is thick so a little goes a long way and the initial smell can be touch off putting BUT the smell does disipate to the point you or others will not be able to smell it. I started using it to fill in my thinning edges and now use it as a hot oil treatment and moisturizer for my entire head. I'm loving the results and I'm sure you will too. My hope is that this will assist you in making your purchase. Take care, L.R. Eppes Georgia, I've long stopped relaxing my hair. I'm totally natural with my 4b/4c hair texture.

If you used it on relaxed hair I would focus on the scalp when using heat, but it would also make a great hot oil treatment when mixed with olive oil or any of your favorite oils (jojoba, grape seed, flax seed, shea butter, etc). You may not want to apply it directly to dry hair before flat ironing because it has an odor and will smoke, but its not bad if applied before blow drying since the smell can be masked with a finishing spray or oil (they're usually fragrant).

I have found out that because JBCO is originally processed with salt, the salt left in the product makes it unhealthy for chemically treated hair; since this one specifically says "no salt," it should be okay. Ergo, look for JBCO that has no salt. Apparently, if you're unsure, you taste test it: I'm not talking about taking down a teaspoon full to the mouth...just barely dab your finger in it and place on your tongue to see if you can taste any salt. Simple enough.

I can't speak to using it on relaxed hair as mine is natural, however when I was doing the research on it I found quite a few YouTube videos of women with relaxed hair using it in their edges that had thinned or broken off. Go to YouTube and search "Jamaican Black Castor Oil Relaxed Hair." There were quite a few that had good results. Hope that helps.

My hair is natural so I am not 100 percent sure, but I would think that it woukd make a good deep conditioner. I have even mixed it with a conditioner and then steamed. It made my hair silky. I do think it would be to heavy for everyday use if your hair is permed. If you have very thick hair then it might not be bad but if not I would stick to using it for deep conditioning.

It works fine on my relaxed hair. However it is very heavy so I mix it in my conditioner and when its on my dry hair I apply it with a brush (perm brush) after I part it in sections.

i have relaxed hair and it made my hair grow back thicker. But i would advise not to use to much because its sooo thick and it will weight your hair down. If that's not a problem then i think you'll like it

I have texlax hair and it works very well. Due to it being such a heavy oil, it doesn't take much to do the job. I mix mine with other oils I may have on hand such as grapeseed or argan. It's helped reduce my split ends dramatically and has also helped my edges to grow back in.

As far as I know, it is good for all hair types. My hair is relaxed and I have used this product. It certainly did the job for me. However, I only used it on my hair line (my hair was slightly damaged in that area.). Not sure how the product would affect your hair if it is used all over the head.

No its not it can be used for both relaxed and natural hair. I'm currently transitioning and it works perfect for my hair

My ethnic hair is relaxed and I LOVE it - my stylist uses it on both my child who is natural and myself. I prefer only the shampoo and 'rinse out' conditioner [I don't care, however, for the leave-in conditioner]. As an aside, I like the Agadir oil prior to blow drying and the spray after flat ironing :)

"Ethnic" hair comes in lots of different textures. This works well with relaxed hair. It works on natural hair with a looser curl pattern.

I am not a professional stylist, but both my daughter and I have relaxed hair. We used it and didn't notice any problems. Surprisingly, it was not greasy like I thought it would be. I't is a thick liquid, so don't over do it. We put it on scalp, but a little does get absorbed into the hair shaft making it look shinier & healthier. My daughter used it more than me and she experienced crazy new growth which called for a faster retouch. To me, it smelled bad in the bottle, but when you use it, it doesn't seem as bad on the hair. You get used to it. Try it. Good luck.

It's like a leave in conditioner, not to give curl. More like to calm hair and give it shine and smoothness. My hair still holds curl very well after using this product as well a stays straight if I straighten it. To me it offers balance to hair for a good beginning to styling it. Makes my hair look and feel healthy.

I do not recommend it, it's for hair that is relaxed with agave oil hair relaxer treatment.

I have used this product in my relaxed hair and it worked wonders. Unfortunately, I no longer have the bottle as I've finished it (am now using the Garlic conditioner-best to change up hair products ever so often), but you can either go to the Dominican Magic website or go into a hair supply store and read the ingredients on the packaging. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes, definitely, but as a side note... I just started using the Super Smooth Elixir they sent as a sample and I think I like it better... it makes my hair smoother than the relaxing serum. My hair is wavy and a mess if left to dry naturally.

I love the product it is awesome on me and my girls hair. I use it after a relaxer but you can also use it at anytime. I use it if I am having a lot of shedding I use it for a treatment. Just follow the direction and it will be sure to give you excellent results.

i'm not sure if this would work, but maybe just putting conditioner and leaving it in your hair would help because the conditioner is already saturating your hair so the relaxer cant affect the hair as much

Its great for all hair types. If your relative uses this once or twice a week, their hair should get softer. Also, have them conditon there hair often :)

I received the brown box. I assumed it was the same product inside, just repacked with updated packaging. I just used the relaxer and it seemed to be the same product. It relaxed my hair and did not irritate my scalp or cause any hair breakage. I recommend the relaxer.

I have thick hair, but it is not relaxed. I'm not sure how it would work on relaxed hair. I have been using this product for years, and my hair has gone from dark brown to grey in the meantime. I started buying it from Amazon when my local pharmacy and grocery stores stopped carrying it. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works for you.

I think it could be used either way depending on your style, it works great as hair relaxing balm. Keeps frizz away.

It is a very nice smoothing serum, but you can also try the frizz ease serum that is in the grocery store. Just do not use too much, it may make thinner hair look limp. The ONLY reason I bought this was because I had a $200 brazillian blowout done and this was recommended. Hope that helps!
