Is REVLON a good relaxer?

[atlien]

Is it better then Affirm? I was thinking about using this for my next touch up. I am going home for the HOLIDAYS /images/graemlins/clap.gif and I need something to get my hair straight or else my family will clown me the whole trip /images/graemlins/rofl.gif.

Revlon is okay. It texturizes my hair well. I used to use it to totally relax, but my hair doesn't relax straight anymore.

But a flatiron along with the relaxer should keep your hair looking straight enough even if it isn't bone straight.

Stay away from Revlon.

I have never had great results when I used and many of my friends didn't either. Very harsh relaxer. It is not better than Affirm.

I had it applied by a stylist for a while and it made my hair very hard and my hair broke off. A lot of my friends experienced the same thing and we all had different stylists.

Revlon also damaged my hair badly several years ago. I know some people can use it with no problems, but it broke off my hair horribly.

 

[ChoclatePrincess]

I've used Revlon for over 10 years with no problems. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[AudraChanell]

I havent used it in years but I got great results with Revlon /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Revlon Realistic (lye) works great for me. Never had a problem with dryness or breakage. I use it texturize. I've never used Affirm.

 

[atlien]

Okay now yarl tell me after I went and brought the Affirm. /images/graemlins/look.gif

Man I hope the Affirm works /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

CP what relaxer do you use now , Aud which relaxer do you use now?

 

[AudraChanell]

Affirm is a good relaxer too! It is much more gentle and contains conditioning agents. Don't feel like you made a bad decision /images/graemlins/nono.gif! Affirm is a great choice /images/graemlins/smile.gif Just be sure to thoroughly work/smooth the relaxer if you want straight results. I most recently used a Motions Mild (no lye).

ive used revlon once, it was fine. it was lye i believe. my stylist thinks i should switch to this to maintain my thickness, but im too iffy about it.

ive heard affirm was good too for some people and too strong for others. who knows.

Atlien, I've never tried Affirm. I use Revlon Realistic in regular (I did use super, but it was a waste of time, it didn't do anything for me differently).

My mother used that relaxer on me and the name stuck, so I use it now to texturize.

I've had great results w/the Revlon Realistic Conditioner Relaxer (mild). It was the only mild relaxer that ever worked for my hair.

 

[dannie]

It was O.K. I prefer Mizani.

My mother has used Revlon Realistic Lye Relaxer for many years and it works very well for her. I think she used to use mild when she colored her hair but switched to regular now that she doesn't color it. She uses it about twice a year and sometimes I apply it for her. I don't think she's had any problems with it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
