Mizani vs Affirm for texlaxing\relaxing!

[Paradox]

I know there are many relaxer threads, but I wanted to narrow down my choices..plus the search is malfunctioning!
Which relaxer works best for you

Well I used to Mizani about 2 years ago and I felt that it let my edges kinda rough. I just started using Affrim and I like it but I heard alot of people say it thins your out.. I had so much swing afterwards and it so was sooo straight but not overprecessed.. I used the no lye but im actually gonna try a lye relaxer next and Im thinking of trying the Affrim Fibergaurd or Silk Elements

Thanks! so much, I'm getting equaling positive and negative reviews about both, so it is difficult to choose, I appreciate this!
Anyone else, I am extremely ignorant about relaxers.

I use Affirm Fiberguard Lye and love it. Its never burned me and leaves my hair strong. It isn't too strong and doesn't dry my hair out. My past experiences with Mizani Lye and No Lye was that it was way too strong and left my scalp glued to my head. My hair wouldn't hold moisture either. For whatever reason I managed to gain length, but it thinned my hair really bad.

Whoa! I don't need anything thinning out my hair, I've read that Fiberguard underprocesses hair...which is what I want,but I am pretty sure my hair is resistant( I know this because when I wa 13 my mother relaxed my hair from root to tip for 3 times, and it was still super thick)..so I am hesistant also, how long do you keep Affirm Fiberguard in your hair.

I use the Resistant strength myself and it still doesnt relax me bone straight. I would say that it leaves me about 85-90% processed after 18minutes. I've been using it since last April with consistent results. I haven't experienced any shedding, thinning or breakage either.

My play sister was using Affirm Sensitive Scalp NoLye and it really straigthened well, but dried her out overtime. When I used this same relaxer it burned me, but I liked it otherwise and I didn't experience any other ill effects.

Thanks! This really helps, so now I thinking about doing a test strand with the regular for about 15min.

I think the Mizani Butter Blend (not the original Mizani) would be an excellent texlaxer...it is very gentle and will not get your bone straight..I have baby fine hair and use the mild/fine/colortreated formula and I don't get bone straight....

 

[Highly Favored8]

I use Affirms Sensitve Scalp.

I normally use Affirm mild but my stylist wanted me to try Affirm's dry and itchy scalp relaxer to texlax. I love it! My scalp always burns and it didn't at all! Not even a tingle!

 

[baddison]

Tomorrow I will be doing a virgin relaxer with the entire Mizani Butter Blends Mild system. Got awesome reviews about it. I will let you all know how it turns out.

Now that will be interesting! I would love to hear, I saw some great reviews about the Butter Blends.

always mizani

I have been using Affirm for quite sometime now. I have yet to experience thinning hair. I just changed my regimine from relaxing to texlaxing and I still get the same silky results.

mizani here

affirm sensitive scalp left me very underprocessed (not in a good texlaxed kinda way) and my hair was very dry. i had so much breakage that i am still recovering.

i now texlax with mizani no lye reg. and my hair is thick and thriving. mizani is coming out (or maybe already has come out) with a no lye butter blends formula and that's what i will be using the next time i texlax.

always mizani

I can tell it's working, pretty hair!

The butter blends seem very popular, thanks so much!

Neither...I haven't tried these two personally, but friends of mine have and they're always having some issue with their hair like dryness and breakage...idk, it could be other reasons...I love phyto-specific mild formula...i did a big chop a year ago jumping on the "all natural train", but didn't like how i looked with natural hair and decided to relax. I've only used phyto and its the best. My hairs is healthy with no breakage and i can do curly wash-n-go's no problem...

for some reason I've grown fearful of phyto, I remember some thread about i, but I'm glad you mentioned it, the ingredients in phyto seem pretty good, I'll check out some reviews!

Another good one is Silk Elements, exclusively at Sally's.

I had heard rave reviews of Mizani and finally tried it but got dryness and breakage. A fridn did as well.

I tried Affirm and it dried out my hair. Mizani keeps my hair soft and moisturized. I prefer to use the Lye, but the no lye does not burn. I recently started using the Butter blends and my hair loves it

 

[skipper]

my stylist has used affirm and mizani bb on my hair its mostly 4a.

I'd pick the mizani bb hands down my hair feels absolutely incredible after he's finished relaxing with the bb. so so so soft and it never ever burns me, last time he relaxed me he used affirm it was good but it just wasn't the same.
