i use affirm sensitive no lye.
been using it for over a year now and i have to say it's one of the best rlxr ever (next to dudleys sensitive). it leaves my hair soft and it's not drying at all.

LOL, Tonya. I am a student and a product junkie--not a good combination. I choose conditioner over food
!!!
!!!Well, I guess I'm the only one whose not that pleased with this product. /images/graemlins/frown.gif I have used the lye normal formula twice and within 2 weeks I look like I need a relaxer. /images/graemlins/wallbash.gif I am strongly considering selling mine and going back to no-lye.
Since I found this forum, i realized that my problem was not the no lye, but the fact that I was not mosturizing my hair properly.

Hmmm...I too have been feeling like the Fiberguard was causing my hair to dry out. I read on another post that it's because it's really a texturizer. Don't know if that's a valid statement or not. I was even thinking about going back to no-lye box relaxers. My hair was definitely shiny and soft back then. Now I have no shine unless I flat-iron.

I don't think this is because fiberguard is a texturizer, i feel the system is not as conditioning as the original formula. This caused a lot of underprocessing dryness and breakage, so i went over the entire head with original, it was the most sensible decision I made, or else i'd have to transition.

Hey! /images/graemlins/wave.gif
I only left it on for 10 minutes becuase it was corrective nad I ma color treated....When I rinsed it out I got scared becuase it was so much longer I thought i had relaxed...but when I put my leave in it...the shrinkage started. I shoudl have left it is for maybe 5 more miutes becuase my curls are still relatively tight in some places. Can I correct them maybe 6 months from now u think? To answer your questions. For corrective I did 10 mintes.

That always BLOODY happens to me, i always think my hair is straigher than it really is when its first relaxed and a week later the curls start to shrink. Tonya definately wait the SIX MONTHS before correcting please ensure there is no damage, or breakage prior to the corrective, here's a good tip do strand tests to determine the correct timing so you don't overprocess and your more likely to get the textures the way you like it. I usually snip a few strands from my head, if your hair varies in diffrent textures it would require different timing. Curlycurly is so knoweledgeable on this subject, i'm gonna post how i do strand tests on my website later on today. Thanks for answering my questions.

Tonya you can bother me anytime....i found some info curlycurly gave me..
den1, I snip strands from my head so that I know where on my head they came from (different textures). Since you're only doing one section, you'll already know where they came from. I tape the hair to cardboard and label it with the area from which they came and the start/end time. I apply the relaxer to it, but don't smooth as much as I would if I was doing my head since the extra pressure from smoothing a few strands would be more than I'd be applying to my head. Sometimes I apply it to the entire strand to see what it would do if I wanted to go over the entire strand on my own head. I rinse the strands, neutralize, and condition. Then I air-dry the strands. If it looks like it's not texturized enough, I repeat the process until it looks like what I want. It's more work to do it this way, but I think my hair is worth it. I have previously posted about how I do strand tests. It should show up in a search.

I use the Affirm Fiberguard and haven't had any problems. My stylist puts it in for me. The guy I used to go to applied it first and when I went to this new lady I asked her to use the same one since I wasn't having any problems. She did say that she uses the regular Affirm. I'll go back in about 4 weeks for my protein treatment. She even thinks I could go about 11 wks before my next touch up. I just had my touch last week and it was way over due. Good luck with your decision.
