Is that too many oils? Plus i hate the minty smell of it? Should I just go w/ oilive oil and take this back to the store (health food store)??? PLease help.

Motions Oil Super Formula I have very coarse and resistant hair. Plain mild formula wasn't straightening my hair the way I wanted. HTH. Peace.

I got the idea of mixing relaxer strengths from this board. I tried it and liked the results and I've been mixing away ever since. The oil that I add to my relaxer concoction is Aphogee Essential Fatty Acids Oil Concentrate. I also use this for my deep conditioning as well. Hope I answered your question. Peace.

But even the mild formula doesn't penetrate my new growth like it used to, so I had the super to give it a lil more uuumph. HTH. Peace.

But, I didn't realize that you were adding super to MILD and that you were only adding 2 TBSP of it at that. Now it makes perfect sense. My mixture is equal parts regular and super. Anything less and I am in underprocessed heaven!

Shucks, I may take some to the salon if I go. Is anyone still using oil in their relaxer, have u changed oil. C'mon ladies, spill the details.
