I was born in Africa and came to the US 3 years ago. My hair is naturally black, thick, and very kinky. 7 years prior to relocating to US, I decided to have a perm. Even with the perm my hair remained full, strong, long and wavy.
 
When I got to the US, I started to visit a hair salon where many other women of color frequented and continued to have a perm and treatment. In the first year, I noticed my hair was weakening and thinning out.  By the end of the second year, my hair was so weak and thin that I decided to cut it short leaving just about half an inch of it. I was very sad because I always had long beautiful hair.
 
In April of this year, I came across treasured locks website by chance where I read about natural-laxer mix. Since I was so desperate, I decided to give it a try. Initially I ordered and used two natural-laxer plus kits, then I changed to the natural-laxer mix. My hair has become strong, thick and full once again. It has grown longer too and although is not as straight as it was with the perm it is very manageable and healthy. Thanks Treasured Locks!

I am so proud of this company for catering to the African American in need. There are so many products that have chemical in them. I have never heard of one that does not have one chemical. I have always said that if I could just soften my hair, I would wear it naturally curly.It is a great product. Although it is a little messy to make. It is not a premade product, so it can get a little messy, and it takes about ten minutes for all the herbs to break down, especially the clay. It also feels strange once you begin application, because of how gritty the product is.

At first I did not really notice the difference, but I went to my hairdresser and she had no idea that I had put the product on my hair, and she said wow, your hair sure is taking a nice press today so I told hereabout the product. She said she wants to try it on some of her customers. I am now wearing my hair curly and I love it.

I think it is a good product. Whether you wear your hair curly or straight. You can't lose. Plus my hair is very sensitive to product,and not a strand of hair came out during the process or after!

Dear Brian,

I wanted to write and thank Treasured Locks for Natural Laxer Plus! I have only used it once so far and I have immediate and beautiful results! The softness and texture is incredible and it is so much easier to comb...wow! I am impressed and quite satisfied. ... I wish that I had known about this years and perms ago... Natural is really the best!

I am telling everyone I know about Natural-Laxer especially sisters who are having nightmares with hair breakage due to perms(chemicals). I also told one of my "natural" wearing friends who had dryness and breakage. My co worker touched my hair and said, "Your hair looks absolutely beautiful!" Then she asked me for the Natural-Laxer website! I think this product can help a lot of women who have been searching for something to help their hair for years. Thanks again and look for my second order real soon! A happy customer,

Hi, I have enjoyed seeing the results of your product..natural-laxer plus on my hair since I haven't relaxed it in 3 months, and now I do not plan to, thank you!!!

Teresa M.- Columbus, GA

I love this site. I go on it all the time just to see what I can try next. ... After a couple applications I was hooked. ... the natural relaxer really did the trick. I must say after i decided not to perm my hair anymore I was scared of my hair.  I have been wearing braids and weaves for a long time so i haven't seen my real hair in over four years. I remembered how horrible it was to try to comb it but now after searching through your website I have grown to appreciate my hair and keep it up. Natural relaxer has helped a bunch. Even though I only did two initial applications in the course of a month and it has been close to two months since i have done it (due to financial situations), I still see the ringlets in my hair from when I first did it. I am glad you have this out there. I am gonna tell my friend about it even though her natural hair is great I know she would like it anything more that helps her manage it. A BIG THANKS

I have two bi-racial daughters who have very thick, coarse hair - on the scale, it's at 4A - the most unmanageable hair there is. My older daughter's hair is in terrible shape from chemical relaxers, and I didn't want to continue using chemical relaxers on her hair or my younger daughter's hair.  I researched for days looking for a product that would help soften the curl and make their hair more manageable.  I came across the Treasured Locks site, and after some further research, decided to try the Baka Beauty Natural-laxer,and the Sahara Clay to see if I could not only soften the curl in their hair, but possibly condition it also.  Well, on my younger daughter's hair, I applied according to directions (once a week for the first 3 weeks), and there is a very noticeable difference in her new growth!  I can press it out, and it is shiny and strong! I've only done 2 applications on my older daughter's hair, but we both can already see the difference in her new growth.  Both my daughters' hair is becoming softer, shinier, and I can tell starting to recover from the damage created by the chemical relaxers! They are both very pleased with the results thus far, and we will most definitely continue using the Natural-laxer and Sahara Clay!

The product, Baka Beauty Natural Laxer, is wonderful! For years, as a biracial American (Korean and Black), I have often envied my mothers family for their straight hair,and my fathers family for their ease, ability, and convenience with Ethnic haircare. Being stuck between these worlds also made it difficult to go to Salons - I was turned away for being both of Asian descent and African American descent. But not anymore. What started as a desperate attempt at growing out my relaxer has turned into quite a pleasant and surprising experience. Baka Natural Laxer actually loosens up my curls enough that my husband cannot resist running his fingers through my hair all the time. His fingers used to get caught and cause clumps to break and fall out. Not anymore. I cant wait to see what my hair looks like grown out curly!!

I've been struggling for years with my hair, and this product is amazing! I've only been able to use the one application, but it has made a considerable difference. I'm half African-American and half Korean and have been told time and time again by a multitude of hairdressers that my hair type is either unknown or difficult for them to style. Chemically relaxing my hair has dried out, damaged, and just drained my hair of it's natural luster.  With the Baka Beauty Natural Laxer, I won't ever have to worry about that again! My curls are looser, I can run my fingers through my hair - wet or dry!! - and the breakage has almost completely stopped. It's like my hair has been revitalized. This product is truly remarkable! Thank you Treasured Locks!

Hi I am Jamila LXXXXXX from Cleveland Ohio. I am using treasured locks natural laxer to transition from permed to natural hair. Today is the second time that I used this product and my hair is easier to comb through while wet and also softer.  It also is a lot stronger than it was when I first started using it. I have already recommended this product to my mother who has recommended it to her friends. They will be making their own purchases very soon.  I cant wait to see their individual results. I am very confident that they will be as excited about their softer more manageable as I am.

I've been using the Natural-Laxer system for about 5 months and I am extremely pleased with the results.  I decided to start growing out my natural hair back in December 2004.  A friend and I happened upon the Treasured Locks website and were eager to try the products mentioned.
 
I opted for the Baka Beauty Natural-Laxer Plus system because I have a lot of pre-mature gray hair.  Admittedly, it was a bit of a chore to apply, kind of like combing mud through your hair and rinsing it out.  The texture-enhancing results were subtle at first,though I did notice that my hair's texture at the nape and front edges had a more defined curl pattern.  I would describe the system as more of a texture-enhancing, deep conditioning treatment, rather than"relaxer".  The greatest thing about the product is that there was a significant reduction in hair breakage right away.  That was enough to convince me to continue using the system.  With subsequent applications, I noticed that my hair felt stronger and looked healthier.  I was not as cautious during comb-outs because I knew my hair could take it.  My hair is thicker and stronger and there is very little, if any breakage when I comb and brush through it.  I'm convince that my hair wouldn't be in its great condition,if it weren't for having discovered these products.
 
Later, I tried the Treasured Locks Herbal Leave-In Conditioner Spray.  It was also a help to keep my hair moisturized and ease comb-outs.  It's great for every day use as well as after shampooing.  I use the Natural-Laxer Plus about every two-weeks.  With the current length of my hair, one kit lasts two applications.  I order a new bottle of the Herbal Leave-in Conditioner about every month.  Having used these products and seeing their results, I've had the courage to cut off all of the left-over relaxed hair and I've gone completely natural. These products have been great with helping me with my transition. Thanks.

I am in love with this"motherland mud" as my brother calls the Natural-Laxer...anyway, I am so glad you had the nerve to start your business...

This product is phenomenal! It's so good when you find products that fulfill their promises to the consumer. The Microwave Heat Cap and the Natural-Laxer are amazing. My hair is so soft, and it feels stronger and healthier than it has in along time. I wish I had been using the Natural-Laxer during my whole transition to going natural. I wouldn't have lost so much hair!

The shipping was quick, and the customer service was excellent. I have recommended the Natural-Laxer to my friends. Keep up the good work.
