The selling point here is the mixing, or rather the lack of it. Most no-lye kits give you a cream and a liquid activator that you combine and then have to use immediately. African Pride's StayFresh system is creme on creme, which mixes more evenly, keeps better once opened, and does not go off between touch-ups.

That matters if you buy the eight touch-up size. A kit that spoils after the first use is a false economy, and this one is built to be opened repeatedly across months. Regular strength, no lye, olive oil worked in for conditioning through the process, and three steps rather than the longer sequence some systems demand. Follow the instructions inside the box for timing and application order, since they cover the ingredient detail as well.

Suited to anyone maintaining relaxed hair at home who wants fewer variables in the process and less mess on the bathroom counter.

Application tips

Read the leaflet in the box before you open anything. Because it is creme on creme there is no activator to time, so mix only what a touch-up needs and close the tub properly for the next one. Work on unwashed hair, apply to the new growth alone, and keep it off previously relaxed lengths. Three steps, in the order the kit sets out, and do not improvise the timings. Work quickly, and in a cool room, because heat shortens the window you have.

Results

Straight, and consistently so, across eight touch-ups from one kit rather than one good result and a spoiled tub. The creme on creme system is the reason: nothing separates, nothing goes off between uses, and the strength in month six matches the strength in month one. Olive oil conditions through the process, so hair comes out smooth rather than stripped. Regular strength suits maintenance rather than a first relaxer on virgin hair.
