Great Product Works Well on African American Hair

by K. Jones from USA on 2010-08-21
I bought this product after reading various reviews on this site and others. After 5 years of unprocessed hair I decided I was sick of trying to make my extremely curly/frizzy type 3b or 4a hair work. In the past I used Mazani for years at the salon with great results. Although it was expensive and time consuming. I like this a lot better and I did it myself. My hair is extremly thick and very long (small of my back now that its straight) and I was able to do it at home with just a little help from my daughter. I much perfer doing it myself than sitting at the saloon for hours on end.The product left my hair in excellent condition all the way down to the ends. Its shiny and silky and I didn't even need to put any products in it. I did run a flat iron over it breifly after a wash but its much better than any other relaxer I have tryed and although its expensive I save money by not having to buy all kinds of conditioners and leave in that I used to use. Some say it does not work on AA hair, that is not true.The only down side in my opinion is the missing gloves and application brush ( I just used my gloved hand and the back of a comb) and the weak directions.

If I Could Add More Stars I Would!!

by FashionChic from PA, USA on 2010-08-01
I heard about this treatment the first time about 8 years ago. It sounded like exactly what I needed but when this first started becoming popular stylist were pretty strict on who they would do this for. I'm in Philly so we have several big salons and many of them told me flat out "no way - not with a full head of highlights" but I wasn't ready to give up on it yet. I finally found someone who would do it. He did a test on a section of my hair and when he saw there was no problem I booked an appointment. All I can say is WOW! My hair went from being course, extremely (unattractively) thick, lumpy (that's what I called it because it certainly wasn't "curly") to being silky straight, smooth, soft and healthier then ever. The Stylist said I probably would not need it done for another year. The year came and went and my hair was still exactly the same. I guess it was 3 or so years later when I went back for a touch up. I just simply loved this. I know it sounds strange but it totally changed my life. What I didn't like was the amount of time it took and the price - close to $600 both times. One day I was roaming around on line and found this for sale. I bought it and did it myself in like 2 hours. I got the exact same result and spent a whole lot less money. I would have been afraid to do it on my own the first time. The second time I had no idea there was any way I could get the product so I felt like I had no choice. The third time it was so much easier and obviously insanely cheap (compared to what I was paying) If your doing this for the first time go to a salon or at the very least have a friend who is familiar with it help you. If you have had it done before you know what you are doing probably better then the hair dresser does. If anyone out there is wondering if this products works - the answer is yes. It's like a miracle!! :)

Fantastic

This product works beautifully. However, I would NOT recommed doing a self application at home. I certainly didn't want to pay out the wazoo to get this done, so I paid for the product at cost and had a friend in the salon business do the application for me. If you don't know what you're doing or do not apply the product correctly you can really screw up your hair. The original application lasted about nine months and I recently had the touch-up application done. My hair is naturally AWFUL. Thick/wavy/frizzy/impossible to manage. It used to take me 45 minutes to an hour to get through the drying and straightening process. After the bio ionic retex I can blow dry and go. It's life changing! My hair feels soft and smooth.

Not as good as expected

by S. Miyares-Cabrera from on 2010-05-10
It did make my hair straight, but I still have to use the flat iron to make it look silky and natural. Not better than any other straightener. It didn't shorten the amount of time it takes to iron. So far the best permanent straightener I've had is the Chi, done at a salon. My hair stayed the same when it dried and I did not need to use the iron.

this thing is a miracle!

by Thamar Figueroa from on 2009-12-09
I was about 13 when i first tried this product, and it worked INSTANTLY!!!! my hair was soft, silky, and long. it was amazing.i went from crazy, unmanagable hair to silky smooth and soft. I would recomend this to ANYONE. it doesnt damage your hair like other relaxers, and it lasts 6 months. it takes a little while the first time, but the retouches are a breeze. as soon as you wash the first creme out, you cant miss the difference, your hair is instantlt healthy and will stay healthy. It only takes me about 20 minutes to syle my hair right after I get this done. This is the best thing that I have ever tried on my hair, and ive been using it for 2 years now.

ISO MANE TAMER IS AMAZING

by Jenna from on 2009-08-20
I am 25 years old. I have crazy frizzy and curly hair. My whole life i have straightened it every single day causing major damage and a lot of stress!I could never wear it curly because it just looked horrible between the extreme curliness and frizz. My hairdresser recommended ISO MANE TAMER and i actually wound up doing it myself and my hair is amazing! I no longer have to straighten it with a hair straightner. My hair drying time is 15 minutes compared to the 45 it used to take me. And I can finally wear my hair curly! Not to mention the fact that this was not the first time I have tried to relax my hair professionally to no avail. IS O MANE TAMER IS DEFINATELY FOR YOU if you experience the same problems i did.

FINALLY !

by H. C from Stonington, CT United States on 2010-09-07
This is definately the best hair straightener I've ever had and I've been straightening my hair for over 30 years. FINALLY ! Technology has caught up with my hair!

DEFFFF WOULD RECCOMEND

by NNn from on 2010-08-30
I go to the gym 5-6 times a week, so I need to wash my hair almost everyday.. and it got too hard with my curly, thick hair. So I turned to this! Now my hair dries up straight. I still have to go over it with my straighetener if I want it slick straight and styled a certian wait but that takes like 15 min. It's made things so much easier for me!

Amazing !!!!!!

by Shelli Rave from Suffolk County NY on 2010-04-26
I have used this system for around 5 years now, and had the heat version done in the salon about 7 times already. My hair is perfectly pin straight, no frizz and no damage. I can literally let my normal very wavy coarse hair AIR DRY.. yes girls... air dry and it is still pin straight. The tip like everyone says is you MUST use small small sections to comb the product in, must not move while the chemical is processing, your hair must remain straight.. also use vertical strips of saran wrap to lay on top of your head will help it take quicker... the PRE-treatment spray is very important... overdo it if you must to protect your hair. when flat ironing you must again use very very small sections and NO CLIPS, have a friend or two help hold your hair loosly while it is being flat ironed.. this process is crutial to pin straightness!!!! and a ceramic iron like Chi or Babyliss should be used, no cheapies! leave the neutralizer in the full 10 min and comb the entire time is also crutial to being perfectly straight as well as rinsing the product the full ten minutes without making your hair a mess. This product is amazing i wish i could get friends to do it for me, it would save me the $360 i pay in the salon for it to be done... but i have long thick hair. good luck ladies!If you are skeptical to try at home definitely go to a salon that offers this! Be sure you use the right kind for your type of hair... i you have bleached in the past DONT use this or any hot straightening methods unless most of your bleached hair has grown out. It will break it. You may use this is your hair is color treated, just get the milder version. I use normal. and if you hair is resistent to procedures, try the one for resilient hair.

THE BEST HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!!

by Shopping Shrew from on 2010-04-21
I have been straightening my hair for 30 yrs. I used to use lye relaxers and then in 2006 tried Matrix Opti Smooth. I will NEVER use anything else again! It makes my ahir PIN straight, baby soft and silky smooth. I just redid my hair last week with Matrix OptiSmooth.I know that many people read these reviews before making their purchase and here's my experience and how I do it to ensure the best results. I went to my sytlist in Feb to have this done and was disappointed, I am better at this than she is.Hair Type: Fine with medium to strong curl. Be sure you choose the product for hair texture! If you fine hair even if it is virgin hair use sensitive formula. Coarse hair will need the normal or coarse. DO not use if you have used a lye relaxer or if your hair is bleached. You are taking a HUGE risk if you do. I use sensitive formula. Mistake 1 my stylist made, wrong formula. She fried my hair and didn't take out the curls!Tools: YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD CERAMIC IRON! DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THIS!! It will make all the difference. I got a Bablyiss Pro on Amazon.[...] Cheaper irons or the titanium irons. Titanium is metal it WILL RUIN your hair when using Opti Smooth! Mistake 2 my hairdresser made!PRE STRAIGHTENING: 2 weeks before you straighten deep condition your hair 4x with Redken extreme CAT.This is a pure protein product and will prevent your hair from frying. The CAT will strengthen your hair by 65% after 4 treatments. They used to print on the label. Follow with a heavy moisturizing conditioner like Chi organics olive paste. You want your hair to be over conditioned!Straightening: There a few tips I have learned over the past 4 yrs of using this. If you have never done this before do a strand test to determine your processing time. 1)Pre treat per directions Don't forget the pre treat spray! It's better to use a bit to much of this than not enough. a)Apply the straight creme. GENTLY smooth your hair a bit with the palms of your hands while it is processing. Keep a few damp paper towels by you just in case your ends over process. 2) Set your Iron to 450 degrees F or as close to it as your iron will go. Another use a professional iron. This is CRITICAL! VERY thin sections of hair and make sure it looks straight and smooth. It may take more than 3x. 3)Neutralizing: You MUST comb it through for the full 10 min. I comb and smooth. Comb w/one hand and smooth with the other. Mistake 3 my stylist madeThose are my success tips:} I do my own w/out help:}

decent results

by mommy3 from Kentucky on 2010-03-16
I have used this product for several years. I have thick, very wavy/curly hair. It DOES NOT completely straighten my hair but it rather relaxes it so that it has a looser (and prettier in my opinion) curl when I want to wear it natural or curly......or if I want to straighten it, this product allows me to do so much easier than without any chemical straightening. I don't believe there is any product that will totally straighten my type of curly hair......but this product definitely makes straightening easier and it makes it a silkier, smoother straight when I do straighten it (which is most of the time). I used to pay hundreds of dollars to have this done in a salon and that is where I first discovered this product but I think that salons WAY overcharge for any straightener application. (Japanese or others) It is a long process (2 hrs min. start to finish) but they are charging an outragous hourly rate in my opinion because the main time is the processing which takes an hour so you just sit there while they work on other client's hair and you're paying for that time. I can do it at home in an afternoon. It is a little difficult getting to the back of my head (so a friend would be helpful but not necessary). It certainly can be DONE alone. There are two processing choices (cold and heat) and I've always used the full, heat process. (the cold process claims to reduce frizz and not completely straighten.....well I know that the full, heat process does not completely straighten anyway so why bother with the lesser, cold processing version??) Sometimes there will be an instructional DVD with the product (depending on the vendor) but the instructions are easy enough to follow without the DVD. If you are realistic about your expectations for this product......and realize that you will still have to blow dry and use a flat iron to straighten......you will probably be very pleased with this product.
