  • This weekend I got my first salon relaxer in 8 years! After a bad experience with my very first salon relaxer years ago, I've been reluctant to get it done professionally again. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience and I'm really happy with the results.

    I found it interesting that your stylist started with the front of your hair, my former stylist always started at the nape. The Affirm system is the only way to go. I have access to the entire system so I do my own hair. So much easier on the wallet doing it at home. I am 95% early silver so I have one extra step to after I’ve neutralized my hair. That step involves getting rid of the yellow that occurs during the relaxer process. It is here that I switch product lines and use Matrix Color Obsessed shampoo and conditioner. This works quite well at returning my silver to its white, bright glory. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    I have been using Affirm since 2004 and I do not think I will ever change it! It produces the greatest results. I would stick with it because it will make your hair grow so long. I also use Affirm 5 in 1 reconstructor as a protein conditioner once a month. Amazing!

    Maybe your problem with self relaxing was that the ORS stop working for you so you would be underprocessed. A lot of people say ORS leave them underprocessed.

    • @HealthyHairJunkie
      @HealthyHairJunkie  6 років тому +1

      I hadn't considered that 🤔 My stylist thinks its to do with stretching my relaxers and the fact that my roots process faster than the rest of my new growth. I guess I'll see if I decide to self- relax again!

I appreciate your videos because it is giving me confidence to go back to a salon for my next relaxer to correct the under processed areas. You have given great and easy to follow tips to do before and after getting a relaxer. I would have to say you have sparked a great desire to get back on the healthy hair journey. Thank you so much. I encourage you to continue with your informative videos. It helps trust. By the way beautiful hair. Stay blessed

    @Beloved_Boahemaah 5 років тому +1

    This is amazing! I am surprised that after 12 weeks, the relaxer was in your hair for less than 20 minutes and looked that amazing! No wonder my hair keeps breaking. I leave braids in for almost 2 months, and relax as soon as i take the braids out! I usually want the relaxer to stay in my hair for almost an hour, all in the name of hair growth! So thankful God brought me to this channel! No more abusing my hair!
    Also, i have a question, how does your hair not get burnt after your pre-relaxer routines? I was told that the drier the scalp, the more tolerable your hair will be during the relaxing process. Is that a lie?

    • @HealthyHairJunkie
      @HealthyHairJunkie  5 років тому +1

      Yess to no more abusing your hair 🙌🏾 also try and give your hair a little break in between taking down your braids and getting your relaxer.
      Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by a drier scalp, but from my knowledge and experience your scalp should be cleansed then based just before your relaxer to protect it xx

    • @HealthyHairJunkie
      @HealthyHairJunkie  4 роки тому

      Hey! As far as I'm aware, they only use Avlon products in the salon so it'll either be the affirm creme relaxer or the sensitive scalp relaxer- those were the two options I had previously, not sure if that's changed. So no, you wouldn't have to tell them beforehand as long as you're booked in for a relaxer xx

      Sapphire Keratin is made based on Keratin which is a protein the hair is made off. Meaning that it gives back to the hair the protein that lose with the relax procces.

    • @HealthyHairJunkie
      @HealthyHairJunkie  6 років тому

      After my first salon relaxer experience I assumed I had a sensitive scalp so I would always relax my hair half a head at a time to avoid burning. However this time around my stylist worked pretty fast so there was no need. She also decided on the normal relaxer as opposed to the sentive scalp relaxer because I don’t suffer from dry scalp or any scalp irritation. As you’re local I’d definitely recommend visiting Elite x
