I use Affirm Fiber Guard lye relaxer because I like a little texture left in my hair.

20 wweeks post today, 6 more to go

I use PhytoSpecific.

Thinking of switching to Affirm but I can't find a kit for 2 application anywhere. I don't need 4 or more applications of relaxers when I relax so infrequently

Week 21, 5 more to go and my hair still feels very manageable.

Yeah @11228

I think all the professional relaxers come in sets of 4. Maybe find someone who don't mind splitting the purchase with you.

One hour post and it feels so good.

I think I'm going to stretch for 12 weeks max. I loose too much hair after the 10 weeks work for stretching to be worth it. The point is to not overlap .... I can make sure of that

Any takers?

Aww sweetie, I am in love with Affirm Fiberguard Lye Relaxer in the huge tub. That's the one that I use. No-lye relaxers are not for me. They put too much calcium buildup on my fine strands and ultimately leave them dull and breaking unfortunately . I wish you find someone to take you up on your offer though.

My newgrowth got too dry between the 2 textures! At 2" (new growth) it was time! Lol

You can do it!

You can do it!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It really does feel like I can make it .

Should I get this kit? The Affirm Relaxer Kit 4 Applications. It doesn't say whether it is Lye or No Lye

https://smile.amazon.com/Affirm-Rel...50&sr=8-10&keywords=affirm+fiberguard+relaxer

I suppose everything I need for the process is included in the kit?

@11228
Professional relaxer kits (sensitive scalp) come as no-lye. The big buckets are lye relaxers - this is the one that I purchase. Once the kit has an activator included, that is automatically a no-lye relaxer.

Thanks!

I wonder if I can transition from PhytoSpecific to the Professional relaxer kit

Yes you should be able to without any problems. If you have a very sensitive scalp, just be sure to properly base your scalp and you should be fine.

 

[Purpleroses1010]

How many weeks post relaxer are you right now? 16weeks since April 2016

When is your next touch up? Probably September 2016. I want to stop shedding first before I get another touch up.

What relaxer will you use? ORS

Are you going to a salon or will you self-relax? Self relax this time. Salon was a disaster last time.

 

[11228]

I've decided on Lineage Shea Butter relaxer for my next touch up. Should I run it through my no-lye relaxed length the last 2 minutes? Reading some threads and it seems like an okay thing to do

 

[levette]

Last summer a hairstylist ran a lye relaxer over my no lye relaxer and my hair broke off I wouldn't do it

 

[Aggie]

Tomorrow I will be 22 weeks post and will have 4 more weeks to go.

 

[sunnieb]

5 weeks post and all is well.
