Any 4a/b use Affirm? If so, which one and what strength?

[meka]

Thanks ladies!

I used lye-normal strength. It does NOT straigthen my hair, no matter how long I leave it on!!!!!!!!

 

[Tonya]

Hi Meka! I use Lye-normal as well. I am texturized.

Affirm lye mild

 

[MonaLisa]

Self relaxed with Affirm Sensitive Scalp Normal (no lye) six weeks ago. Not a good move on my part as I'm underprocessed in the back. Gonna give it another try with the encouraging words of CCD - and have it applied at the salon next touch up.

But I do like the way Affirm makes my hair feel. So gonna stick with it for now.

 

[Carlie]

lye regular

 

[meka]

Does it straighten well?

 

[Carlie]

It straightens my hair just fine...I haven't had to deal w. any underprocessed hair. Also, let me mention, that I get it done professionally...another reason why I probably haven't had a problem.

I use Affirm sensitive scalp(no-lye) regular and it works great for me, I also get it done professionaly, but working up my nerve to start doing it myself.

Ahhh Mona.....
Hey sorry to hear you are under processed /images/graemlins/perplexed.gif...hope it works out next time

And yes I got to the salon to have them do it....when I self relaxed years ago I would definitely, under, over whatever process my hair....now Im surprised I still had hair on my head

I use Affirm Sen.Scalp...Normal or Mild ( not sure though) I really think normal...AND my hair is not super straight either...after a few weeks my ends start to wave up so maybe that is something Affirm does....cause I think it partially breaks the bonds..( I could be wrong though /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif)

Good luck /images/graemlins/wave.gif

Same here.

Thanks CCD! /images/graemlins/wave.gif

Hopefully the next go round, professionally done, will be to my benefit. Looking at your hair gave me encouragement to give it another try.

Again...I just did a condition wash...and I really love how Affirm makes my hair feel. It feels stronger to me and soft.

 

[Cowgirl]

I use affirm lye (mild). No problems.

 

[Sweetyb]

Does anyone use Affirm Fiberguard?

And is there any Affirm relaxer that will make your hair straight? (My sis has very thick 4b hair)

I used too, but i suffered a lot of dryness inevitable breakage as a results not to mentioned underprocessed hair, it couldn't even texturise my hair so i had to switch to the orignal Afirm which is by far better IMHO.

 

[lovechic]

I USE AFFIRM FIBERGUARD MILD (LYE). MY HAIR IS MEDIUM TEXTURE. MY HAIR STRAIGHTNENS WITH IT, BUT NOT BONE STRAIGHT! IF YOUR HAIR IS REALLY THICK, I THINK FIBERGUARD REGULAR STRENGTH SHOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE. SUPER STRENGTH RELAXERS SEEM TOO HARSH. /images/graemlins/spinning.gif

 

[secretdiamond]

I use Affirm mild and I've always been UNDER-processed. I'm just waiting for the tub I have now to run out (which might take a while)so I can buy the regular formula

 

[lovechic]

Yeah, I understand ya on that, but girl my hair was in need of some serious TLC, so mild is the way for me to go now! Maybe next year I will be brave enough to use regular! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
