Relaxers : AFFIRM FIBERGUARD vs MIZANI vs ORS Relaxer

[tyarah2008]

you have 2 bases on affirm did you use the sodium base (already mix) or calcium base the one u need to mix with an activator? also affirm the firber is for COLOR TREATED HAIR for extra moisture.unless i am wrong i did not see any color on your hair.

The answer your question its not good to change relaxer.as your hair will become confuse.....i ve use affirm for years now on me and my client and they all noticed a BIG difference on the texture, the mouvement even the growth .....take care

[Lilin1989]

thank you

you help me alot

[nunaavane]

@Lilin1989 you are very welcome :-)

[Lilin1989]

@nunaavane do you use Mizani no lye or lYe

[nunaavane]

@Lilin1989 i was using no lye :-)

[nunaavane]

@ladyyg100 thanks a whole lot for the constructive comment

[simp1eone]

am sorry what is tes tax? I cant understand what you are saying

[MsChubbyface]

I think you should go back to affirm b/c being too straight isn't good b/c you're hair should only be about 85% straight and let heat do the rest and you said that the affirm made your hair feel healthy vs mizani which you were using for years and it was stripping your hair and leaving it very dry and lifeless........

[nunaavane]

@MsChubbyface thanks so much, since i did that video i am only texlaxing now, using the ORS

[countrychristianboi]

relaxers are not supposed to be use to straighten the hair but relax the hair. when you straighten the new growth your hair will break when your hair grows because there is a difference between the new groth and the previous relaxed hair. Also, thats why your hair doesn't have any movement or body due to you strightening your hair. when you leave a lil wave after relaxing you will have the movement you want. I AM IN COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL AND I PUT THE MAZANI BUTTER BLEND RELAXER ON MY WIFES HAIR.

[nunaavane]

@countrychristianboi thanks for the info :-)

[NancyGooGoo]

I've been using Motions with Oil Moisturizer. Have you tried that one? In regards to your question, you HAVE to give your hair time to BREATHE! Personally, I think using 3 relaxers in one year is a bit excessive. I don't think you're giving your hair enough time in between using all these relaxers. I'm actually quite surprised you still have hair on your head! LOL Seriously, though. Give yourself a sufficient amount of time in between changing relaxers and you might see better results.

[nunaavane]

@NancyGooGoo thanks for the advise

But my hair BREAKS OFF completely when stretched too much, that's when i would have been bald ! hahhahaha, we do what is growing our hair, so far it works thanks God :-)

[MySkiesAreBlue24]

relaxers dont break your hair overprocessing and improper application does. as long as your not overprocessing and over laping the hair you are fine.

[nunaavane]

@MySkiesAreBlue24 thanks a loot !

[TheMamzeldine]

aaa okiii mercii pour la réponse boussaa

[TheMamzeldine]

coucou j'aimerais te demander tu n'as jamais penssé à utilisé les defrisages

kanellia ou phytospécific?

[nunaavane]

@TheMamzeldine hello, g déjà utilisé Phyto et c t très bien à l'époque, mais mes cheveux restaient qd meme secs après le défrisage

[Mslecia27]

Hi Nunaavane. Use the affirm fiberguard because it adds more strength to the hair. The mizani gives it a more straighter look but this look can make the hair look thin and limp. The affirm fiberguard gives the hair body, strength and moisture. I use the mild affirm fiberguard. It straightens my hair well and gives it a very healthy look. I think it will work the same for you if you continue to use it.

[nunaavane]

@Mslecia27 absolutely ! i co-sign every word ! but the thing is i plan to go texlaxed, so i am back to using my ORS relaxer, for the next year :-) tks a lot for the comment tho

[VettyP]

Hi Nunaa. Just saw your vid on the different relaxers. Let me just say that I was trying some of the no-lye relaxers out there because I wanted to go w/ a Lye. I joined a hair site w/ a professional as the moderator. She suggested that I use the QP Elasta no-lye relaxers for a year, then go to a lye. I think with anything you need some time in between for a relaxer. Hope that was helpful.

[nunaavane]

@VettyP yes i will def think about it, thank you girl :-)

[sexycandy876]

Mizani regular is the best.

[nunaavane]

@sexycandy876 thanks

[fellisco86]

harlem.com

[nunaavane]

[MadininAudreyNOL]

[nunaavane]

@MadininAudreyNOL kikoo merci bcp ma cops Simsim me dit qu'elle y a été mais ils ont pas le défrisage :-(

merci qd meme

[song5537]

Hola Nuna, I LUV ur videos, accent, and spirit I have been watching alot of your videos and I too am on a hair journey...It is very expensive getting your hair done in salons, so I have learned to save time and money and handle my business(HAIR)-LOL I would stick with the Mizani and follow up with a hot oil treatment to restore moisture... I have tried this and I love it as I have fine thick hair. I also Cantu Shea butter leave in twice a week along with my JBCO and viola I am good to go.

[Shaniece601]

Have you tried Sheldeez.



[nunaavane]

@Shaniece601 i don't even know the brand sorry

[Shaniece601]

@nunaavane Its a hair webite that you may be able to order the mizani relaxer off of.

[nunaavane]

@Shaniece601 oooh cool, i am off it right now, lol, thanks a looot ! !

[luvleechica]

Thanks for sharing! I have been wondering about those relaxers. If you were using "professional" relaxers (affirm/mizani); then using ORS in a box kit, that could be a reason for your dryness issues. Lye is lye; however, box kit relaxers or perms contain calcium, while the "professionals" do not. It is said that the calcium over time leaves deposits on the hair causing hair to be dry/break and make it difficult to retain moisture. HTH!

[silverflowers1]

i always get my hair straight with the ors and i relax my mum's hair with it and get it very straight aswell- just smooth and then leave it on for about 10-13mins after if you want it very straight

[silverflowers1]

@silverflowers1 by the way i don't leave my own as long as that cz i dont want bone straight hair- just my mum's cz she insists i leave it on for long

[nunaavane]

@silverflowers1 thanks a lot for the info, i'll try next time

[DiorVixzen]

Gr8 Video

I love ORS relaxer

I want to tex-lax but im kinda scared.

[nunaavane]

@DiorVixzen i def understand that, just know that texlax requires, to my opinion, more care than relaxed hair...

[hotriceandbeans]

So, she uses the Mild version? Wow, in that case, the only thing I can think of is that maybe she is not using the entire line? I mean, if she is, your hair should be balanced...and it certainly isn't you because you take great care of your hair...I self-relaxed with the Mild version (for the first time) a few weeks ago, used the entire line (I used something else for the base) and nervous as I was even my hair came out soft....

[nunaavane]

@hotriceandbeans yeah that's starnge... i will try & not to overprotect my hair prior to the relaxer

[jungirlfriend10]

I will keep you updated sis...good luck on choosing a relaxer :~)

[nunaavane]

@jungirlfriend10 thanks

[sandiha86]

Ouh La!!! J'ai le meme probleme.I used Dr Miracle for a year...I will compare it to what u said abt Milani (straight relaxed hair but dry my hair) Then I switch to Motions(the one in the box), relaxed my hair with 2 times...I got texlaxed results. Finally I tried Silk Elements w olive oil(in the box) my hair is a little dry but 50-50, bc of the breakage... So I got straight ends, texlaxed hair, relaxed hair and new growth... Don't know hao to deal with!!!

[nunaavane]

@sandiha86 me either ! that was my problem ! i was like "should i go with relaxer all over to get it all bone straight"??? i really don't know

[ladybird1971]

I could check out the shipping from California to Ftance. If it isn't expensive, I could just pick it up here and ship it to you. I'll check it out!

[nunaavane]

@ladybird1971 wow thanks a lot sweet, let me know the prices & all :-)

[4browneyes10]

did you use the ORS No-lye relaxer? was it drying to your hair? I used the silk elements lye relaxer for the first time at 15wks post and it made my roots very dry! I believe we have the same hair type. luv ur videos....and Im sure your hair looks alot different two yrs into your journey than at the beginning so more hair videos would be a plus! :)

[nunaavane]

@4browneyes10 loool, thanks, that was requested very nicely & smart-ly,loool

well yeah it was the one in the box, no lye, it doesn't make my hair that dry, compared to the Mizani !

[Letta510]

When I was a child and got relaxers I used Just For Me, and my hair was really long but when I was about 13 I thought it was too old to use it so I was experimenting with different ones and my hair started to break off and I never found a good replacement bc shortly after that I decided to go natural. I'm completly natural now and i looove it lol. thats a less worry of mine trying to get relaxers and stuff. you ever plan on going natural?

[nunaavane]

@Letta510 thanks a lot for sharing with me :-)

well this is going to be a whole video, believe me...maybe by the end of this year but yeah, i want to get this subject covered cause i might do it somewhen

[sukudushi]

I had the same experience with ORS.

[purplekisses7528]

I have a question, what is Textlaxed, never heard of that word before when dealing with hair. Can any one answer that?

[nunaavane]

@purplekisses7528 tex-lax is when you hair is not bone straight ! you still have TEXture in your hair, so you apply the relaxer & leave it on less amount of time, or you add some oil in the relaxer so it is not giving its full effect

this also helps with having thicker hair

texlax stands for TEX-ture re-LAX

[purplekisses7528]

@nunaavane Well I certainly Thank You for answering me back, I seriously didn't know what that meant but I do know thanks to you. Stay Blessed & Stay Safe

[jungirlfriend10]

Nunnaa...Try Silk elements relaxer..that's the one i'm gonna try next month i am 12 weeks post now. In May i tried ORS lye it was ok but i was very underprocessed...but i don't know if that was due too me relaxing after 8 month strecth anywho this time i'm trying silk elements :~)

[nunaavane]

@jungirlfriend10 hey girl, tks a lot for the advice, please keep me updated when you relax ok? and 8 months??! wow i envy you, lol

[AnnyKeyz]

And about the relaxer... I feel Mizani is the best but maybe you need to use the Mild for Fine and Color Treated strength (that's the one I use) and I have fine hair too.

[nunaavane]

@AnnyKeyz well this is the one she uses for me, the mild one...

[AnnyKeyz]

Salut toi!!! I believe you were texlaxed because of the reason you said: doing it at home, prepping your hair to much, not leaving it long enough and not smoothing properly. Even if you use Mizani, that will still happen. Try stretching as long as possible... this way 80€ will not be so bad if you spend only once or twice a year. I'm speaking from experience... my hair was texlaxed no matter what I did because I was too scared. Je suis trop nerveuse quand je le fait. Je ne le ferai plus.

[nunaavane]

@AnnyKeyz GOOOOD ! very good advice ! the problem is i tried to stretch and after 4 months my hair was breaking & shedding like crazy ! ! it was just ruining all my efforts !

[Libeauty7]

thank you so much nuna xoxo.

[nunaavane]

@Libeauty7 you are more than welcome :-)

[dwelesmom]

I cant believe youd rather have bone straight hair. Mizani is one I will definitely avoid.

[nunaavane]

@dwelesmom well that's my liking so far, lol, pls don't judge :-)

[gorjis1]

My beautician has used Affirm on my hair for several years, and it has worked very well. It doesn't burn my scalp like other relaxers.

[nunaavane]

@gorjis1 yeah, i had NO BURNING with this one either

[MsNsquared]

Good Review Nunaa. Hope your doing well!

[nunaavane]

@MsNsquared hey lady, how r you? how is the buisness going along? sorry i couldn't order anything so far but i'll catch up soon don't worry

i am fine :-)

[sweetfm2008]

You can try out different brand of relaxers each you relax. Since your hair is dry after relaxing, try doing a jojoba hot oil treatment (Queen Helene) after shampooing. I've used all 3 & prefer Mizani. Try to order from the online wig stores sites- Blackhairspray. com, Hairsisters, or clairhair and sign up to their site... They will email you promotions & discounts that really cut down the regular price!

[nunaavane]

@sweetfm2008 thanks sweetie :-)

i will def think of it, so far i am getting tons of answers that are quite leading me towards ORS, but i know that if i can do the mizani myself i might get the results i want.... so thanks again :-)

[chante427]

when I was a young teen the salon I use to go to used affirm. It took my hair out! I had bra strap length hair and it took my hair out to ear length. so I stay away from affirm. Soft and sheen carsons optimum no lye relaxer works for me. I was actually able to retain length while using this relaxer so I have stuck with it ever since. So I think you should use what ever is going to make your hair not dry lol because dryness leads to breakage.

[nunaavane]

@chante427 noooo way??? from BSL to EL? oh gosh ! ok well i may have to stick to ORS then.... and figure out a way to get it straight

[ladiig0tswaqq]

i heard motions was a good relaxer. and wow, when i use ORS it makes my hair real straight, i never had the textlaxed problem.

[nunaavane]

@ladiig0tswaqq really?????how do you do that?? i want it too, loool

[ladiig0tswaqq]

@nunaavane I go to the salon to get my relaxer, everything else i do on my own. this is the ONLY relaxer i can use, anything else might not work because my first one broke my hair off bad, im so terrified to switch so im good lol. but maybe its because each relaxer is different and for ORS you might have to let it sit a little longer, i notice she leaves it on slightly longer, and i have no breakage or problems from that.

[nunaavane]

@ladiig0tswaqq thanks a whole lot girl, you really are helping me here, lol

[hotriceandbeans]

Hi Nunaa. My hair texture is quite similar to yours and I also experience the bone-straightness for 2 weeks after Mizani BUT with no significant dryness. This is because my hairdresser uses the Mizani Mild version (ButterBlend). Something to consider.

[nunaavane]

@hotriceandbeans yeah ! that's what she uses for my hair too ! ! so why do i get this dryness??!!!

[ablavie89]

salut nuna heureuse de te revoir j'esper que tes exam c'est bien passer alors a quand le vidéo en français kiss que dieu te béniss

[nunaavane]

@ablavie89 kikoo, je vais essayer de la faire le week end prochain, les examins ont été tres bien grace à Dieu

[rizeuse]

Bonjour Nunaa ,

Je ne crois pas que c'est nocif de changer de défrisant de temps en temps car il le font au salon de coiffure. J'ai le même type de cheveux , je suis 4A et mes cheveux ce sont épassit avec les années (Dieu merci !)

J'aurais voulu t'aider dans ta recherche de Mizani parce que de mon côté (a Montréal) je suis dans la même situation.Je ne le vois pas sur le marché et c'est dans les salons de coiffure qui ont ce produit

-Nina-

[nunaavane]

@rizeuse merci nina ma belle, pleins de bisoux a toi

[Barginjunkie69]

Thanks for sharing.. i like the Organic root

[nunaavane]

@Barginjunkie69 :-)

[TheMzny]

[nunaavane]

@TheMzny thanks a lot for sharing

[tamoniva12]

I love the Profectiv and African Pride relaxer.

[nunaavane]

@tamoniva12 never tried these ones :-(

[Libeauty7]

Salut comment va tu? 6 months ago i went to the salon to relaxe my hair, i didn't even ask what kind of relaxer they were using . In the past i used many different relaxers, the last time that i relaxed my own hair it was with the ors relaxer, don't remenber if i like it or not, i'd lv to try the mizani but can't find it here in England, can't find anything in this country ;-((. Good to c u around xoxo.

[nunaavane]

@Libeauty7 kikoo

thanks a lot for the nice support

[1krzypraz]
