Texlaxed Ladies Help!!!! My relaxer is broken.....suggestions for new relaxer needed.

[Missi]

I been using Affirm Fiberguard in Mild for the past yr: i relax every 3 months. I relaxed January 11 & my new growth looks like it was never touched. So I figured: maybe my relaxer is too cold (freezing weather lately: you know) so I sat it in hot water as I relaxed again on February 21 and my new growth still isn't straight. My co-washes straighten my hair better. I checked the exp date & its 10/10.

Ladies what am I doing wrong?

I am ready for a new relaxer, any suggestions?

p.s. i used Affirm cuz I used keracare in the past: now i'm an ayurvedic junkie...i want a relaxer somewhere on the lines of Motions: Salon Herbal Relaxer.......

Are you having any hormone issues? I believe that can affect how your relaxer takes.

I am not sure if it is hormonal but, my hair was texlaxed on January 16 and it did not take. Then again on February 18. My hair is still a wreck. This morning it felt like straw after I cowashed yesterday so for 4 hours, I combed with the rosewater spritz mix and vatika oil. My hair was so tangled and hard to do because my new growth is out of control. I was chemical free for 7 months then I decided to texlax in January. Huge mistake. I am actually thinking about getting a relaxer this week because there is no way I can have healthy growing hair like this. I mean I really lost alot of hair from breakage this morning. I am very disturbed by this. So again, I am not sure about the hormones. I am not pregnant nor have I been recently and I am having the same problem. First texlax with Mizani, second with Silk Elements. This is quite perplexing. Good luck. Maybe some one has some advice for us.

Maybe its in the air. Lol. I dunno: i don't think i'll be relaxing past 12 weeks anymore: i think between 8 and 10 wks is the best for me being a self-relaxer as well. new2law if you find a solution....gurl u better hit me up. I haven't had a relaxer since mid Oct. so its a lil urgent. Lol

I wish I could help- but this is the story of my life. The front half of my hair will obey the relaxer, but the back of my hair has a complete mind of it's own. The back is much coarser than the front.

Missi- Do you clarify or chelate befire you relax?
Is there a lot of product build up?

Affirm fiberguard is considered a mild relaxer- I dunno maybe bump it up to reg strength.

I will so keep my eye on this thread- cause while the front of my hair is thriving- the back is not.

Is this a lye relaxer? If not, I'd suggest a lye relaxer. I use Bantu. I pay like $12 at the BSS for a huge jug of it. I've been using the same container for at least a year and it hasn't gone weak or anything like that. You can see pics of my texlaxes in my fotki. I don't mix my relaxer with anything; instead I coat my hair, ng included, in pomade/petroleum-jelly. Even coated in all that stuff it works.
