Hello Sophia. Thanks for posting this! I am thinking of doing my own relaxer due to COVID. My stylist always used Affirm Dry/Itchy Scalp My hair type is 4C Haven't had a relaxer in 3 yrs. Attempting to buy everything online. The Wal-mart site has a box of 9 applications and an activator (to stir in) looks like the other items would have to be bought separately? Is there a version that does not require the activator (didn't see that part in your video) Also, do the products listed above have special sensitive/dry/itchy formulas? Is there a site that sells the full kit without having to buy alacarte? Is the 'Positive Link' product on the Avlon website necessary? Signed, In Desperate Need of Your Help!

I’ve gone to the salon for several years for a affirm Avalon no lye relaxer . This was my first time doing one myself due to CoVId & and stylist taking off for months.

My natural type 4 hair is so difficult to work with that i just have to get a relaxer! The stylist I am going to is using affirm relaxer as well!

I hope this helps you and good luck. All the best and thanks for the question.

Hello Sophia? How are you? I had stopped relaxing my hair since 2012. I've cut off the old relaxed hair and started going natural. In doing so, I was wearing either braids or wigs until my hair got to shoulder length. Anyway, I started doing a silk press (using my electric pressing comb, flat iron, and marcel curling iron). Natural hair is a lot of work. I'm just about ready to go back to relaxing it. I watched your video and you are very professional. I currently have color treated hair as well. I also have sensitive scalp and in the past, I easily burned. I am interested in using the Affirm relaxer system. Since my hair is color treated and scalp is sensitive, which type of Affirm Relaxer should I start with?

@sophiaknowshair

2 жыл бұрын

Hello. Thank you so much for the compliments. If you have a permanent hair color you have to be extremely careful with relaxing your hair. There are several factors to consider. Is your hair strong enough to have both chemicals? Do you have dye in your hair or did you use lightener? Affirm Fiber Gaurd is a good relaxer to start with. I don't recommend you relax your own hair. Mizani Fiber Gaurd or Affrim Fiber Gaurd is a good place to start. Also consulting with a cosmetologist that does relaxer on color-treated hair. There are other ways to have manageable hair without a relaxer. Such as using a smoothing treatment like Affirm Texture Release or SilkOut Taming Treatment. You can look these up as alternatives to softening your natural without irritating your scalp or causing hair breakage. Hope this helps.

Hello. The fiber guard is more gentle and designed for color treated hair. I use it for clients who need more of a gentle relaxer even though they may or may not have a relaxer. The classic relaxer is definitely stronger and gets the hair straighter so you have to know what density hair you have in order to choose the right relaxer.

It will not harm your hair if she neutralizes the hair first, but you may not get the best reconditioning of your hair if it is neutralized first. It is best to follow the manufacture directions to achieve the best end result. Let me know of you have more questions and sorry I was so late in replying.

Hello. You should not relax your hair once a month, every 8 weeks is safer, and ask your doctor if it is ok to relax your hair while pregnant.

I wanted to texlax with this product because when I did have a relaxer this worked great on my hair. But you applied this in 15 minutes and then rinsed it out?! So if I can't apply in under 8 minutes my hair will most likely be straight? Maybe this is not the best product for a texlax? If possible could you recommend a texlax product I would appreciate it! Also when I was relaxed my hair grew very fast and it would snap at the crown so I think the longest I could go without a relaxer was 6 weeks. Would you recommend to wait the 8 weeks anyways?

Greisy Espinosa Hello. It depends on your hair texture and also the outcome you want. You can try the normal affirm relaxer this time and see if it makes the hair straight enough. Some times fine hair can still have a tight curl. So the normal strength should be fine. If it seems like the normal was to straight, then the second relaxer you can just use mild. You have to use trial and error. I can't see your hair so I can not comment on the relaxer strength you should use. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for commenting.

You can use a reconstructor like the 5n1 Reconstructor after a relaxer or any reconstructor that has proteins in it that is creamy like Affirm Fiber Gaurd Sustenance Fortifying Treatment. I would not use a protein treatment like Aphogee after a relaxer, it will make the hair to hard and dry after a relaxer service. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question and watching the video.

@@Jazminfields Hey. Sorry I did not respond. I do not recommend self relaxing at all. So much can go wrong with relaxing your hair yourself. I did use normal in the video though.

How do i get it?

How do you get the relaxer? If you are licensed you can purchase from Cosmoprof or Independent Beauty Supply. You have to check to see who carries this Brand in your local beauty supply store.

She has gorgeous hair already. She looks like she could just have a simple flat iron. Her hair is pretty.

Thank you. Yes she could do just a flat iron but she wanted her hair to stay straight without reverting. ❤️

This relaxer left my hair so tangled. I don't know what to do to fix it.

Maybe it is tangled from something else. Is your hair under processed in certain places? Sorry for the delay, I seemed to over look this comment.

@@sophiaknowshair Yes. It's intentionally underprocessed because I didnt want bone straight hair. But I always underprocessed my relaxers and I never had this issue.

@@Kontroversial84 oh ok. Then maybe you need to use a conditioner that really softens the hair. Like joico moisture recovery treatment balm. That may help with tangles and dryness. Next time maybe try the mizani butter blend which is meat to texturize the hair

@@Tasiaevansss Hello. I would recommend the Mizani Butter Blend Relaxer to texturize and not get the hair straight. It also depends on your hair texture. The Mizani butter blend is the best choice. Here is a link www.mizani.com/Mizani-Butter-Blend-Relaxer-Medium-and-Normal-Hair/MIZ10160.html

Why flat iron on a hair that just been relaxed, that damage the hair

@sophiaknowshair

Hello. Thanks for question. Its not damaging if you use the right heat setting and also a heat protectant. I have not had an issue with damage so far with relaxer and flat ironing.

l thought you weren't supposed to perm it to the ends,at least that's what I heard.

Dearia Choice I had to relax the areas that had no relaxer on them. She had been relaxing her own her and did not relax the hair shaft properly. So I had to apply relaxer to her ends so the relaxer would be consistently straight from the new growth to the ends. This way It is more manageable for her at home.

Hello. The Fibergaurd relaxer is great for color treated hair. It is a gentle relaxer. The Affrim Classic Relaxer is for people who want a straighter relaxer outcome. They also have a sensitive scalp relaxer which can be used if your scalp gets irritated easily. I hope this helps. Thank you

@@Keliyahrenee I would have to see your hair and know a little more about your hair history. I don’t recommend relaxing your own hair. If your looking for a gentler relaxer Fibergaurd is the way to go. If you want straighter results, the classic is the way to go.

Most beauty supplies carry the relaxer discussed but your stylist should be able to order it for you.

Wat taem

Perm on roots only. Your hair does not need perm on the ends to. Thats why its stiff

I learned the hard way that fiber guard is different from the one your using the salon was out out fiber guard so I went with this relaxer my hair broke off badly from the switch I will never do that again 😒

Ok. I understand. You should try using Olaplex. You can ask your stylist for the in salon treatment or buy the Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector. It helps to strengthen the hair by multiplying the bonds broken during chemical services. It is not like a protein treatment because they tend to harden the hair temporarily by coating the hair shaft, olaplex works on the bonds that break. When the bonds break, they leave your hair in a weaker state after chemical services, if you use the Olaplex you will notice less breakage, more strength. Try it either once a month or every 2 weeks.
