Great process, hun! Thanks for the shoutout! I noticed that you didn’t deep condition your hair although you used a medium protein reconstructor and sulfate shampoo. Did your hair feel dry after just using the leave-in?

@therelaxedafro7539

3 жыл бұрын

Hey Val. Thank you for watching. I didn't deep condition for a few few reasons. The Normalizing Shampoo doesn't have any sulphates in the ingredients and it's description said it's formulated with special "oils to add much needed moisture...". My hair felt unusually soft after the shampoo. So I just followed up with straight moisture products. The whole blends works like no other rinse out conditioner for me and the Cantu Argan oil is protein free and has a tendency to make my hair feel over moisturized if I don't use it with or after a protein treatment. So everything blended really well and worked in my favor 🥰. Oh I have high porosity hair too so proteins are my friends. ( Sorry for the loooong response)

Am so tempted to change my relaxer but am not sure which relaxer to use. Have been using the ors in extra strength for yearssssss. Love the final result

Do you still use the normal strength or have you tried mild in the Affirm? I was thinking to buy mild to give me a little more time for error timing wise as not sure I can do it in sections like you did as I am scared the relaxer will burn if the sections not done get wet and my pores open up etc.

Hey. I still use Normal strength and I leave it in one half for 15 minutes. I try to apply to the relaxer to both sections but rinse the first section, and while the neutralizing Shampoo is in I smooth through the second section and then rinse it once it's been 15 minutes.

Usually my hair has a rough feel on relaxer days irrespective of the products I use afterwards and my hair was just soft for the whole week. I'm going to keep using it and observing my hair and once I have a solid opinion I'll do an update. Thank you for always supporting 💕. Which relaxer do you use?
