Can I use a mild relaxer on 4a hair

[jasmin]

I was thinking that it wouldn't straighten my hair. Can I leave it on longer if I use mild. My mom thinks I should use mild because it's better for my hair but I was thinking a mild couldn't straighten texture.

I have used a mild relaxer (Affirm to be exact) and it worked just as well, with a little smoothing. My stuff is rough too girl, so I say go ahead and use the mild.

I agree with Kaddy. I have 4a/b and I use Affirm mild for 13 minutes. Make sure to smooth it and it'll straighten.

my hair is 4a when i was relaxed I always used Mizani fine which is their version of mild
do you relax bone straight?

I have used mild in the past, and plan to use mild on my next relaxer touch up.

I've used both mild and regular relaxers. They both straighten well, I just have to spend a bit more time smoothing when I use mild.

Well I want my hair to get straight where I can wash and go. I used Elasta regular last time and it didn't hold that well. Basically it reverted after the first week and it look like I was on my 4th week.

Can I leave it on longer than when I use regular?

I use motions mild and it's fine but I don't relax bone straight.

same with me. it seems lye relaxers arent doing that great of relaxing my hair as straight as i'd like. and since i dont use heat or rollerset i need my hair to be straight so i can just wash, airdry and not look a mess.elasta qp didnt work for me either.

Your hair is beautiful. What color is that in your hair?

When I had a relaxer, all I used was mild. So it's okay to use.

I use Affirm Mild Lye formula and I'm 3C/4A. I leave it in much longer than the recommended time, because it takes me a while to apply it. It still doesn't get my hair bone straight, but I like it that way.
