Is this absolutely the same as the Affirm relaxer that doesn't need mixing? I have a problem with changing from professional to mixed perm.

This product needs to be mixed. I have been using it since 1999 and have no problem. The box contains the activator and the mixing cup for different typr of hair. Its a proffessional product. And you can keep for long time .

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

Very much so, my hair is relaxer free and this left my hair with a beautiful shine and was able to curl my ends effectively. Remember to per-strech your hair with blow drying or with a pressing comb prior to use. If one didn't know me, you'd think I paid a professional to blow my hair out which it wasn't.

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

If your having a hard time with your hair taking the relaxer if would suggestgoing to a professional to get your hair straight and after I would recommend this relaxer. I have thick. Hair and this relaxer works well with straightening my hair. I would recommend watching YouTube videos to see what pl with simular hair texture to yours do or recommend

This is exactly like "Wen," at less than half the cost! And like "Wen," this also Conditions my {long, dry & coarse} Hair. So, I don't know about their "conditioner," because {like with "Wen"} I have never had to use a separate/additional Conditioner!

I do use it along with some of those very same ingredients that you've listed ☺️. They seem to complement each other. Just make sure that you use a wonderful moisterizer as well.

I don't know? I have never tried the pro soft. I really like the perma soft. I have had my liner in for about 3 months and had no problems. You may just have to order some and try it for yourself. Then you can decide which one you like better.

I received the brown box. I assumed it was the same product inside, just repacked with updated packaging. I just used the relaxer and it seemed to be the same product. It relaxed my hair and did not irritate my scalp or cause any hair breakage. I recommend the relaxer.

I have not used the Healthy Mix serum but from what I know the regular H.Mix is more like a silicone base and glides on very smooth and the serum is like a gel formulation and has to be worked in one area at a time. I like the regular H.Mix but I found the colors to be to yellow for me. My favorite is the Bourjois Happy Light but it started to oxidise on me and so does the Estee Lauder invisible fluid so it isn't the make up it must be my body oil.

I'm not sure, but I know when I used it, it was very strong in smell, burned my scalp, even with proper basing, and caused damage to my hair. I went back to purchasing the kits at Sephora.com, which cost a little more, but does not burn my scalp and I've seen no signs of hair loss or damage. I'm staying with Sephora's brand relaxer, as it has never let me down. I don't think I'll do anymore venturing.

This perm is better than Just For Me. A whole lot better. It is sensitive to scalp just like noted on box. I scratched my scalp right before putting perm in during my first use and it did not burn. I would highly recommend over any other.

Sorry, but I don't know the difference. My friend recommended the masque and I absolutely love the masque. I use it like I would use a daily conditioner but have not tried the daily conditioner yet. Will probably stay with the masque as I love it.

You'd be better off asking your stylist. This really isn't a home perm, but if you are going to try it, I'd buy 2, just in case. Better to have 1/2 a bottle left than 1/2 a perm.

To be honest I'm not sure. I have only used the masque as conditioner. I am very pleased with it. Check out your local Marshall's if you have one. I have found both there for a good price thanks to another reviewer.

You measure the liquid activator to mix in according to the strength you want, using the instructions. So it can be used for what you need. However I believe this Relaxer is "sensitive" so it's already gentler than regular.

Yes, this relaxer is lye. No mixing needed. Base your scalp properly with vaseline.
