Affirm FiberGuard Relaxing System (step 1&2)

For the next couple of weeks I will be doing a review on the product(s) I have used and also on products that are my staple(s).

I will start firstly with the relaxing system I use, the relaxer that I have been using for a few years now is the Affirm FiberGuard - they are two relaxing system in the Affirm range (a) the Affirm FiberGuard (I use this one as I have blonde highlights - and this is the new and improve formulae that is designed for hair that has been colour treated - then there is the original formula which is Affirm.

My take on this Relaxer:

I have been using this relaxer say for about 3yrs, I have used other Avlon ranged but decided later to swap over from my revious relaxer which was Soft & Beautiful (I have nothing bad to say about this relaxer) but decided that since I was using 80% plus of the keracare line I might as well use the relaxing system also.

I must say I am very please with the relaxer and the relaxer and the way it makes my hair feels after a relaxer; I mean i ahve thick hair anyways, this relaxer adds body and shine; the hair feels strong and looks remarkably good.

When I relax I part my hair in four sections (if you have not figured it out yet I DIY - been doing it for years now so I am happy and enjoying doing so - this suits me!). Then I apply section by section the preservo not to the new growth and the rest of the body of the hair I do not OVERLY damp the hair just to coat it lightly - I think it does protect me from over processing and I note I don't get any burns either.
