ODE Hair Rebonding Professional Crystallizing Straightener (EX1) + Neutralizing Emulsion (2) Set

UPDATE: 12/18/2024 I'm still relaxing my hair with this product and still no burns. I do have some breakage at the top of my hair because I forgot how much more gentle I'm supposed to be with my hair when it's relaxed because chemically processing your hair changes the integrity of the hair. Other than that everything is going well and I plan on using this for the rest of my life lol Also, for bi-weekly maintenance I use Cecred hair products. ABOUT MY HAIR BEFORE THE TREATMENT: - Was relaxed from childhood until 11th grade. Was natural for 5 years before this treatment and 5 years before that. - Scalp had dandruff with regular relaxers. No dandruff when natural. - Armpit length - Course, VERY thick, 4B-ish - healthy - I live in hot & humid climate RESULTS: It's only the first day and I LOVE it. When I was relaxed (Motions), I'd go to a professional and my hair NEVER came out this soft! I didn't get it bone straight so it has some texture when wet but I'm okay with that because I like some texture so it can blend with my kinky straight extensions/clip ins without a problem. I was hesitant to use this product because I used to get terrible burns the size of my hand on my scalp when I went to professionals and my scalp would be sore and I had BAD dandruff. I thought that it was just that I had a sensitive scalp. When using this product on my own without help, I didn't have ANY burns or scalp sensitivity (SO FAR). I'll make sure to update! The product comes with its own instructions, but here's the instructions that I USED after watching YT videos: *Do a patch test before starting* 1. Shampoo squeaky clean & detangle ALL hair in 4 sections. 2. Put hair in 2 sections (top & bottom) 3. Put on gloves SOLUTION 1: 4. Keep hair wet & apply Solution 1 to thickest/healthiest/most resistant parts of bottom first (inch below scalp) 5. Work solution through hair & leave on bottom for ~16 minutes or until hair is straight 6. Put solution on roots the last 3 minutes or until it tingles 7. Rinse bottom section thoroughly for 5 minutes then check if hair is clear by doing hair bath. Keep rinsing until no bubbles left. 8. Turn on titanium flat irons to 350 9. Repeat steps 4-8 on top section. 10. Put all hair in 4 sections. 11. Dry hair then blow dry until straight as possible (use bristle brush if you can) 12. Straighten all hair in small sections with titanium flat iron 13. Put hair back in 2 sections (top and bottom) SOLUTION 2: 14. [15 minutes total] Apply neutralizer and make sure hair stays straight SATURATE & turn on ceramic flat iron to 350 15. Rinse thoroughly 16. Use light heat protectant 17. Blow dry & press with ceramic flat iron 18. Make sure to not bend hair for 36 hours or it will stay with that bend. If you see any bends that you don't want in your hair within those 36 hours, make sure to straighten it lightly.

very nice product does the job perfectly

I don’t put a lot, so one set I can use a lot of times

I waited for two months after the treatment to write an honest review about the results. My hair type is 3b to 3c. I used many other products for hair straightening but non of them really worked, the results disappear totally after couple months. This product is a discovery for me because the results last and my hair is pin straight. BUT it is super strong, the process of applying it was scary. My hair is healthy and I have box dye at the ends of my hair, this product burned my hair! I got to cut it. I don’t blame them because they already putted a claim that it shouldn’t be used on dyed hair but I did it anyway. After my experience, I’m going to buy the product again but the less strong one (the red product) because this product is so strong.

Worked good on my Medium thick wavy hair. I went to youtube for instructions.

wife's hair came out smooth and full

Thank god I tried a strand first, one strand was kept for 20 minutes, the other for 4, if you have dyed/bleached hair DO NOT BUY THIS YOU WILL RUIN YOUR DAMN HAIR. My hair literally melted into one gooey plastic and then dried and has the same texture as plastic, this is NOT damaged hair friendly even if you leave it for less than 4 minutes it will do a GREAT DAMAGE!!!!! Be very very careful before applying this to your head, try to test out a strand of hair. I am very disappointed, my hair is very curly so I can’t go for less strong options but this shi will melt your hair OFF. If you have very very kinky hair this might work for you, mind you this isn’t different from a regular relaxer.

I believe this one works though I was hesitant to buy it because I never see sheseido with such product like this but is worthit.

It is so nice and gentle on hair , just strong smell but it is similar to other products (chemicals). But totally i got the result I wanted.quantity is perfect can be used for several times.

Hello, its second time i buy this product.. Product its good but its not nice they dont send me the brush.. They show brush with product and dont send it
