Affirm Relaxing System (step 3)



I did a review yesterday on the relaxer I use for my hair, that review consisted of step 1 & 2, here is the step 3, well there is 3 steps 3, well you don't need all of the to be honest I kinda went a bit over board and bought all 3, but 1 of the 3 will do, I do like or prefer 2 of the 3 of step 3 lolz

Anyways these are what the step(s) 3 is above (a) the small tub is Affirm FiberGuard Positive Link Conditioner, (b) Affirm Sustenance Fortifying Treatment & (c). Affirm FiberGuard 5in1 Reconstructor.




Affirm Positive Link Conditioner (STEP 3) is a post chemical pH normalizer that restores hair to its proper pH of 4.5-5.5 after relaxer application. Thereby allowing the most effective penetration of micro and macro-conditioners). • For use on Medium to Coarse Hair. Benefits • Restores hair to its proper pH state. • Re-aligns, firms and seals cuticles to enhance shine. • Detangles, moisturizes and softens hair. • Prevents alkali and oxidation damage.

My Take on the (Affirm Positive Link Conditioner (STEP 3) - This treatment is just OK, dear I say I don’t fancy one of Avlon products, well this one is the one I am not too hot on to be honest, I don’t know why but this reminds me of the Motions CPR Critcal Repair Treatment, there is no slip, I find I have to leave a bit of water in my hair to get it to have that feel it should have on the hair – I am not too sure how to describe it – I will use it when I next relaxed and remember why it is sitting there.I don’t think I will buy again – it may work for you, but I am not really feeling this one!


Sustenance Fortifying Treatment (Step 3) is an advanced, high performance conditioner that contains Fiber Strengthening Complex (FSC), that penetrates deep within the hair shaft while cuticles are open immediately after rinsing of the relaxer. • Lipid Replenishing Molecules (LRMs), enter the hair fiber to replace natural shine properties depleted by chemical processing. • Special polymers realign, seal and smooth hair cuticles as it normalizes hair. • Micro-Molecular proteins and humectants penetrate deep within the hair shaft to help repair fiber damage while moisturizing and fortifying hair fiber. • Works to repair and strengthen damaged hair fibers.
Benefits
• Strengthens newly relaxed hair while replenishing lost moisture
• Helps hair resist breakage and shedding.
• Minimizes surface porosity.• Adds fullness and body to hair.
• Detangles hair easily for wet and dry combing.
• Leaves hair silky and shiny.


My Take on the (Sustenance Fortifying Treatment (Step 3) - I like this treatment very much, after I have completely washed out the relaxer I apply it GENEROUSLY to my scalp and to the jut relaxed area of my hair, and then focused on the ends of hair afterwards, I finger comb this treatment through my hair and let it sit on the hair for say 5mins and then rinse out. This treatment is blue in color and the thing I like about it is that is had slip to it and it soothes the scalp NOT TINGLES, soothes and adds silkiness to the just relaxed hair, it feels almost as if it has restore instantly restore strength to each fiber of hair that has just been processed.
This one is definitely a Keeper - I am very please and so is my hair!

Affirm 5 in 1 Reconstructor (STEP 3) is a unique blend of micro and macrofibrous conditioners that is applied immediately after rinsing the relaxer from the hair and before the Normalizing Shampoo. • While substantive conditioners are deposited well within the hair fiber, the hair is restored to its normal pH of the hair. (NOTE: Deep conditioning is still possible at this time because the upper mantle of the hair is still alkaline--approximate pH of 10.0--and the cuticles remain partially open). • For use on damaged, fine or limp hair. Also recommended as a deep penetrating moisturizing conditioner for regular reconstructive treatment services.
Benefits
• Re-aligns, seals and smooths cuticles.
• Minimizes porosity and restores hair to normal pH.
• Electronically repairs damaged areas within & along hairshaft by attachingto negatively charged (damaged) areas.
• Minimizes breakage and shedding.
• Minimizes porosity and smooths cuticles.
• Detangles hair.
• Imparts body and volume to fine, limp hair while adding shine.



My Take on (Affirm 5in1 Reconstructor (step3) - I like this treatment too this is yellow in color and the potency of this treatment is similar to the step 3 above, but has more slip to it, I carried out the same steps above if I choose to use to treatment instead, there is one different b/n the sustenance and the 5in1 the 5in1 has Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein as one of it’s top five ingredients, which is why I think the potency and the slip in comparison to these treatments are slightly different.
I am torn b/n which if these of these two treatments will be the ONE – I will update later ;)
