Africa's Best Dual Conditioning No-Lye Relaxer System is a chemical hair-straightening kit that relaxes hair while conditioning it with herbal extracts and extra virgin olive oil, available in Regular and Super strength.
Perfect for those wanting conditioning built into the relaxing process Suited to coloured or natural hair, in a formula chosen by strength depending on hair texture — Regular for typical textures, Super for coarser or more resistant hair.
Straightening and conditioning together, not in separate steps Relaxing hair chemically can leave it dry if conditioning is treated as an afterthought. This kit is built so nourishing ingredients are part of the relaxing and neutralising steps themselves, not just something applied once the chemical work is done.
Key Features & Benefits
- No-Lye Formula: Uses gentler alkali agents than lye-based relaxers, generally less likely to cause severe chemical burns.
- Herbal Extracts & Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Nourish hair, help maintain moisture, and add softness and shine during and after relaxing.
- Dual Conditioning System: Activator, crème relaxer, neutralising shampoo and deep conditioner work together so straightening is balanced with conditioning.
- Neutralising Shampoo with Colour-Change Indicator: Helps confirm all relaxer residue has been removed.
- Deep Conditioner Included: Restores moisture, vitamins and nutrients after processing.
- Regular and Super Strength: Two strength options depending on hair texture.

How the Ingredients Work
- Guanidine Carbonate (Activator): Works with the relaxer base to loosen curl pattern in this no-lye system.

- Petrolatum, Cetearyl Alcohol & Shea/Cocoa Seed Butter (Crème Relaxer): Conditioning ingredients included to help protect hair during processing.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate & Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Neutralising Shampoo): Cleansing ingredients that help stop the relaxing action and remove residue.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen & Panthenol (Deep Conditioner): Help restore softness and moisture after neutralising.
How to Use and Care for Dual Conditioning No-Lye Relaxer System
Preparations & Safety: Perform a patch and strand test to check for sensitivity and confirm your hair's reaction and required processing time. Ensure the scalp is healthy, with no cuts or irritation. Protect skin around the hairline, ears and neck with petroleum jelly or a protective barrier. Wear gloves and use an old towel or protective cape.
Mix and Apply: Follow the included instructions to use the Activator and Crème Relaxer components. Apply to new growth and roots first, avoiding overlap onto previously relaxed hair to prevent breakage.
Processing Time: Leave the relaxer on only for the recommended time suitable for your hair strength and texture. Do not let the relaxer dry out; keep hair moist as needed. Overprocessing can cause damage even with coarse hair that may otherwise seem to need longer.
Rinse and Neutralise: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until relaxer is mostly out. Use the included neutralising shampoo, continuing to shampoo until its colour-change indicator shows the hair is clean and free of relaxer residue.
Deep Condition: After neutralising, apply the included deep conditioner. Leave on for the required time to restore moisture and strength. Heat (a hooded dryer or steam cap) may be used only if the kit instructions allow it.
Dry and Style: Gently blot or air-dry; avoid excessive heat immediately after relaxing. Use soft brushes and avoid harsh combing.
Aftercare: Keep hair moisturised regularly with leave-ins, oils, or protective styles. Avoid frequent chemical treatments and allow hair time to recover. Trim ends periodically to manage split ends or damage.
Warnings & Precautions: Always read the instruction leaflet inside the kit, as formulations can vary slightly by batch or region. If hair has been recently coloured, bleached, or previously relaxed, apply with extra caution — often to new growth only. Overlapping relaxer onto already-relaxed hair can cause weak spots and breakage. If the scalp stings severely or burns, rinse immediately and neutralise.
Who this is for
Anyone wanting a no-lye relaxer with conditioning built into the process, choosing Regular or Super strength based on their hair texture, and prepared to follow the patch test, strand test and processing-time instructions exactly.
Who this is NOT for
Not for anyone unwilling to follow the strand test, patch test, and new-growth-only application instructions — incorrect use of any relaxer, including a no-lye formula, can cause scalp burns, hair damage, or breakage. Extra caution is needed on recently coloured, bleached, or previously relaxed hair.
FAQ
Q1. Do I need to do a patch test and strand test before using this? Yes — both are required before every use, to check the scalp is ready and confirm the processing time needed for that specific hair.
Q2. What's the difference between Regular and Super strength? Regular suits typical hair textures; Super is a stronger formula for medium-to-coarse or resistant hair. Follow the timing on your specific kit's instruction sheet, as it may differ between strengths.
Q3. Can I apply this to my entire head of hair on future touch-ups? No — future touch-ups should be applied to new growth only, not previously relaxed hair, to avoid overprocessing and weak spots.
Q4. How do I know when all the relaxer has been rinsed out? The included neutralising shampoo has a colour-change indicator — continue shampooing until it shows your hair is clean and free of relaxer residue.
