Today I went to get a touch up at a salon that my friend suggested. The stylist was helpful and my hair was beautiful and silky soft
, but to the point...
The first thing the stylist did when I sat in the chair was take down my ponytail and examine my hair. She asked about my thin ends; I told her that I did not know what caused it, but I was trying to keep them healthier.
I asked the stylist what kind of relaxer she used, she told me that she used a relaxer called Silky Touch. I told her that I've never heard of it, and she told me that a lot of stylists don't use it because it is more expensive than using a relaxer that comes in a tub.
When she asked me what relaxer I've used before, I told her that the stylist I usually go to uses Affirm. Long pause. "Umm, is Affirm bad?"
She tells me that Affirm works well for some people, but it causes thinning of the hair for the people that it doesn't work for.
She said that after examining my hair, she thinks that is what happened to me. She told me to stop using Affirm and to gradually cut off the hair that was relaxed with Affirm, and my hair should start looking thicker and healthier.
Has anyone ever heard this about Affirm? My hair IS thinner than it used to be, but I thought that it was other mistakes that I was making with my hair.
Also, has anyone ever used Silky Touch relaxer? I like the way my hair turned out. (I wish I had a digital camera so I could show you how pretty my hair came out!!) But, I also liked the way my hair turned out with Affirm.
Any input??
