Straightening power is not as effective as the discontinued Optimum Defy Breakage No-Lye Relaxer. Sadly, I'll be looking for something else.

Used this for a touch up because the other relaxer I usually get was not available. This barely straightening my roots. They’re still puffing up in the heat. Going back to ORS olive oil relaxer.

This is the first relaxer I have used that has my hair retaining length. My strand are thicker than ever and my hair really flows beautifully with the wind. I only use what's in the box.

Something is no longer right about this product. My hair isn't doing so good. It feels different, it is acting different which is not a good sign. I'm moving on to a different product. I thought it was maybe just a bad jar of relaxer, so I purchased another one when it was time to re-perm my hair. Nope, the same thing happened again. I am not used to having to touch my hair up more than 3-times per year, this is ridiculous.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 1 year ago
Hi Georgie, We are sorry to hear that you have to relax your hair more frequent than you normally do with Soft Sheen Carson Dark & Lovely Relaxer in Regular Strength. It is suggested that you can use the product and touch up only every 3 months if you have new growth.
The traditional perm kit was awesome !

I used dark n lovely regular relaxer for 20 years snd it was awesome. I used to get a lot of compliments when I used dark n lovely’s relaxer. It appears they changed the formula in the new relaxer and it is not a good change. It left my hair dry , no shine and no elasticity, so I switched to another company’s perm!

I always avoid using stronger or too many chemicals on my hair. That is why I use the Dark and Lovely normal or mild. My hair is very easy to straighten within the shortest amount of time and the perm last 2 to 3 months after and because I avoid washing too often and always use the best or better shampoos and conditioners and mosturizers and also protect my hair from all and any bad weather, no excessive heat or cold, strong winds, dust, sand, too much sun, rain, hail, sleet, snow etc. and I protect my hair at night with a silk bonnet and never ever use electric blow dryers or curlers on high or with hot temperatures. I am a 66 years old African American woman and my hair is medium long and very healthy.
Still works Great

I’ve been using Dark and Lovely for as long as I can remember. The product isn’t what it used to be. The relaxer is not as effective and the new treatments do not measure up to the 5 gloss satin oil treatments and products. The company keeps reiterating that the formula has not changed just the packing. I do not see how that can be true when different oils etc have been added. A tried and true relaxer system has been ruined. And are mild kits no longer available?
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 3 years ago
Hi there, We are sorry you are disappointed in the new packaging of our Dark & Lovely Relaxer. The formula has not changed but unfortunately we have discontinued the formula for color treated hair. If you have any additional questions or concerns feel free to call us @800-442-4643 M-F 9am to 5pm EST.
Dark and Lovely Shea Moisture Relaxer - Horrible

Healthygloss5satinoilgurl - 3 years ago

This new product does nothing but dry your hair out! When I brush my hair it comes out in clumps! My hair was on my shoulders and after using this shea moisture relaxer, my hair us at my ears! My hair will NOT stay moisturized! Not with the products that are supposed to be used as aftercare or just plain hair cream..My hair looks dinghy and dull! The only product that grew my hair and maintained the healthy look and shine, was the healthy gloss 5 product line. So if it wasn't broken, why did you try to fix it. I say bring back the healthy gloss 5 with satin oil product line and you will really have some grateful customers. The healthy gloss 5 with satin oil moisture hair cream,shampoo and conditioner was EVERYTHING!
Great product

The product is good. My concern is, I am unable to get the moisture hair creme with satin oil on the market. Will you be making this product available as a single item for every day use? Will you recommend one that we can get to use daily? We are badly in need of a moisturizer.
Great result! But, what about post-relaxing care?

I've used the Dark & Lovely relaxer for years. I detest going to the hair dresser/hair salon, so I learned to relax my hair at home. I used this new formula for the first time one week ago. I immediately noticed a difference in the "feel" of my hair. This new 6-step process is easy on my hair. My only objection... WHERE are the after-relaxer products? How do you sell a relaxer and not the products needed to compliment the process, i.e., the Recovery Shine Cream? Much to my chagrin after much searching, it was disappointing to find out that the Dark and Lovely Healthy-Gloss 5 w/Satin Oil Moisture Hair Creme has been discontinued. And apparently, the newer Recovery Shine Cream 6 w/Coconut Oil is only available in the relaxer kit? Does that make sense? Such oversight will cost this company customers.

Please don't let my hair fall out. It's itching terribly. I've noticed that they have made a few changes to their kits. I was skeptical. I am allergic to formaldehyde and formaldehyde-releasing agents so I never had a problem with this brand. I hope my hair doesn't fall out!

We are always looking for ways to improve and expand our line of products to fit the needs of our consumers, so we appreciate the time you have taken to share your comments with us.

HoneysMom - 5 years ago
I have tried many relaxers over the years. It left my hair shiny and straight with some body. I have very dry hair & after this relaxer it felt amazing. My only recommendation is this kit does not come with a petroleum packet so you can put on your skin as a barrier to protect it in the event any of the cream gets on it.
