The BodipHier represents a new scientific breakthrough in natural hair care. The BodipHier is designed to permanently relax hair and add body without the use of lye or other damaging chemicals. The 100% natural active ingredients are not as fierce as lye, so it won’t dissolve your hair shaft or break down the hair’s interior bonds, in order to relax the hair’s natural curl patterns. The BodipHier cannot make the hair “totally pin straight” like chemical relaxers do. This allows hair to stay healthy, look more natural, keep a bit of its texture, and have more body and bounce.
It is the natural solution for people who want to wear their healthier hair smooth and straight, but not endanger their health or hair with toxic chemicals. For people who want to manage and style their hair far easier and less often, by using thermal styling appliances just once between shampoos. Customers will immediately see and feel superior straightened styling results that will last — even through humidity, and they can gladly say “good-bye” to using a flat iron everyday!
Yes, a BodipHier is compatible with all of these traditional chemical relaxers.
There is a world of difference when using caustic damaging chemicals, compared with using the BodipHier’s safe and natural ingredients to get permanently relaxed hair. A BodipHier delivers:
- A safe, short, and easy 1 hour hair relaxing process (no worries, no gloves needed!)
- Permanent hair relaxing that allows timely re-growth touch ups to maintain uniformly smooth and relaxed results, without any risk of over-processing or damage.
- An economical cost. You could spend a fortune on damaging straightening methods: Chemical relaxers, plus extensive hair conditioners that try to repair the damage, etc…
- Superior styling results. After you blow dry with the optional use of a flat iron for even more straightening, your healthier hair looks and feels more naturally straight, has body, bounce, and shine; and it’s softer, silkier, smoother, and straighter than ever!
- Beautifully straightened hairstyles last between shampoos and through humidity, without the need for daily workouts with a flat iron!
Unlike with using chemical products, A BodipHier natural relaxer promotes healthier hair that can keep growing, and it becomes easier to manage with much lower maintenance and expense.
You can easily and safely apply a BodipHier natural relaxer yourself at home in about 1 hour. With the non-professional use of traditional lye and no-lye chemical relaxers that you can buy in a box from your local chemist, you’re really taking a big risk and putting your hair and health in danger by applying a chemical process on yourself at home. There are also newer chemical hair straightening treatments on today’s market that claim to be chemical-free, safe, and gentle, but they’re not.
No. When applied for re-growth touch ups and repeatedly according to the instructions, the BodipHier will not over-process previously relaxed hair. For resistant hair, it is perfectly safe to do a second full BodipHier relaxer application to further relax your curl, for maximum relaxation results. To expect good results, hair should not be relaxed when in an extensively weakened or dried out condition. Restore your hair’s healthier condition first, for best results to follow.
Yes, a BodipHier is compatible with all traditional chemical relaxers/straighteners. But why would you want to?
It is not recommended over “curls” or “thio” (ammonium thioglycolate) based products. Ammonium thioglycolate is the chemical that’s commonly used to create body wave curly “perms” for naturally straight hair. Applying a natural Bodiphier relaxer over a perm may not reverse the curly effects of a chemical permanent wave process. These “thio” based chemical products are also used in various “Japanese/ionic/thermal” salon hair straightening services. For naturally dryer ethnic hair types, this chemical can dry hair out so much that extensive moisture is required or the hair will break. However, the BodipHier is excellent when applied over hair that has been previously relaxed with Copa products.
100% natural alkaline water and minerals are the active ingredients, which penetrate into the hair shaft without destroying the protective outer layer (the cuticle), raising the pH level, and permanently softens the bonds inside the hair without breaking them. Softening the internal bonds of the hair causes the natural “S” curl pattern to elongate or loosen, making the hair straighter.
The BodipHier is an alkaline product with a pH of 12.0.
No. With 100% natural active ingredients, the BodipHier is naturally self neutralizing. Be aware that a chemical straightening relaxer will always require some sort of neutralizer as a final step. The application of a neutralizer is extremely necessary to abruptly stop (neutralize) the damaging actions of the chemicals as it straightens the hair during processing, by (using lye or other caustic agents) to actually dissolve the hair’s protective cuticles and break the hair’s interior bonds. If any other hair relaxer product claims to be gentle, safe, or free of harsh chemicals, check to see if it contains a neutralizing shampoo, crème, or gel, or if the process has another step to apply a neutralizer. If so, then that product surely contains harsh and damaging chemicals, so don’t be fooled!
They help fortify the hair with deep conditioning, and restore it to its natural pH balance.
The BodipHier will not make your hair perfectly “pin straight” as with damaging chemical relaxers. It relaxes curl about 85% for virgin or resistant hair, and it relaxes average curly hair about 90%, so it’s very effective. Hair easily becomes completely smooth and silky straight, with the use of thermal styling appliances such as a blow dryer and flat iron. With a BodipHier, your permanently relaxed hair is allowed to stay healthy, and it’s left with body and bounce, shine and elasticity. It will also be softer to the touch, resistant to humidity, and it will have less bulk so it’s far easier to manage and style.
When you touch up your hair’s re-growth with the relaxer, you can easily customize your permanent results. To relax your curl further, start at the re-growth and re-apply the relaxer fully throughout your entire head again, and your hair will become even straighter. Or if you don’t want any further hair straightening, you would touch up only the curly re-growth with the BodipHier instead.
In fact, this natural relaxer safely keeps hair permanently smoother and uniformly relaxed with continued use, with no worries for over-processing on previously relaxed hair.
Always saturate your hair fully from roots to ends with the relaxer, for all of the product’s natural compounds to work synergistically during every application. For short hair, the best ways to save un-used relaxer crème for future use:
- Quickly squeeze out the amount to use for your current application, and re-seal the bag immediately to prevent oxidization. Exposure to air causes this natural product to activate its maximum curl relaxing purpose, and then its effectiveness starts to diminish.
- Store the re-sealed bag of relaxer at room temperature for future use.
- Another great use of leftover relaxer crème is to re-apply it throughout your entire head of clean/dry hair again. If you desire further curl relaxation after your first “virgin” application, your hair will become even straighter from a second full application.
No. The BodipHier permanently softens the internal bonds of the hair, and elongates or loosens the natural “S” curl pattern.
The BodipHier relaxes hair permanently. You must do a touch up on re-growth in 8 – 10 weeks.
Say “good-bye” to using a flat iron everyday! Many people must spend valuable time and energy using high heat flat irons on their hair EVERYDAY to temporarily keep their natural curly/wavy/frizzy hair texture “looking straightened”, since it will quickly revert back. Excessive daily styling with high heat can also cause dry, damaged hair, particularly for colour treated or highlighted hair.
After a BodipHier permanently relaxes your hair’s curl pattern, you’ll also have a reduction in your hair’s bulk and thickness. This causes a major reduction in your styling time and effort, for much easier hair manageability and maintenance. Your straightened hairstyles will also last between shampoos, even through humidity in between. After a shampoo, your first use of a blow dryer and flat iron will deliver superior styling results, so that your healthier relaxed hair looks and feels much softer, silkier, smoother, and more naturally straight than it ever did before!
No, the BodipHier will not cast a greenish or yellowish tint to grey hair.
No, unlike traditional chemical hair relaxers, the BodipHier will not lift colour from hair.
“BodipHied” hair always looks and feels its best when it’s kept in a moisturized condition. Use the BodipHier shampoo and conditioner for moisturized conditioning and styling between applications. Very dry and thick hair types can use a wee-bit of BodipHier’s natural hair oil before blowing it dry straight for thermal protection, and 2 – 3 times a week for added hydration and smoothness. All hair types benefit from a wee-bit of the Brilliant Sheen Moisturizer 2 – 3 times a week to help hair retain moisture, sheen, and body; and can use the Thermal Styling Lotion for roller sets and wraps. Anyone who wants to wear their hair with more texture can apply the Curl Defining Moisturizer and let it air dry for frizz-free defined curls that are completely carefree. To maintain a uniformly relaxed hair texture, touch up your curly re-growth with a BodipHier every 8 – 10 weeks.
After using the relaxer, you will easily wear your hair silky straight and smooth when hair is blown dry straight, with the optional use of other thermal appliances, such as a flat iron. Flat ironing hair makes any hair smoother, silkier, and straighter. So after a shampoo, you can create a variety of attractive hairstyles with far less time and effort than ever before, and get superior straightened styling results that you can really see and feel!
Since the hair’s curls/waves/kinks have been permanently relaxed, your straight hairstyles won’t revert back in humid conditions, to last longer between shampoos. From the first thermal styling after a shampoo, “BodipHied“ hair becomes smooth and straight and then it stays that way longer. Say “good-bye” to flat ironing your hair everyday!

There are no special or additional instructions for using this safe and natural product on children. Our practical recommendation is that a child should be at least 5 years old, and monitored by a guardian during product use. To avoid any unnecessary skin irritation, the child’s scalp should be examined first, for open cuts or abrasions before applying the relaxer.
