Thanks for introducing me to the Affirm System...after a 14 week stretch, I finally switched from ORS to Affirm...I love this relaxer. It is moisturizing and it seems to work with my hair! Thank you!!
💜Hi I just want to thank you for all your tips and tricks and sharing all your knowledge. My hair was very overprocessed, my own doing by overlapping relaxer, and I’ve been following your advice with deep conditioning, protein treatments and even switched to Affirm. It’s been about three months now and I see a huge difference in my hair. Much less shedding, less frizzy, thicker and much more moisturized. I use your method of sectioning the hair prior to relaxing and it’s genius!! It’s only a couple of weeks since I first relaxed with the Affirm Sensitive Scalp formula and so far my roots are straight and feel very nice. I use the Affirm Protecto with the Dax and it’s great!! My goal is to grow out all the damaged hair and I look forward to healthy hair. You look beautiful as always and thank you so much!!💜
Wow Bridget!! I’m loving this transformation for you❤ Truly warms my heart to hear about my girls and the progress they make using my tips. I so appreciate you sharing this with me. Wishing you all the best on your healthy hair journey, hun💞 thank you for the luv and for watching!!
I was wondering where you were! First off, you look soooo beautiful! Ok, to business: Your old hairstylist disregarded your very simple request, so please don't reward him with your business by returning to him. You are the queen of relaxed hair, and deserve better. Besides, it's easier to cut a little more than to have to wait months to grow back the excessive amounts of hair he's cut. Also, I don't let them determine how much to trim. Let them know how much you want taken off.
AMAZING update video Val! Affirm is definitely your relaxer and that heat protectant is such a game changer, can so see it in your hair and how shiny and healthy it looks. Beautiful hair as always 😍
Happy to see you again. You are such an inspiration to me. I recently had a hug set back and got five inches cut off 6 weeks ago do to not trimming between braids and then stretching too long and having underprocessed hair. It's only been 6 weeks and I have close two 2 inches of new growth. I've been following almost all of your tips and my hair is flourishing! Thank you for sharing all of knowledge!
Heyyy!! So happy to be back😌 missed y’all. Wow, you went through it hun! But honestly, you learn so much from setbacks and you end up having a greater comeback!! I’ve been there so I totally understand. Sounds like your hair is thriving so keep up the great work💕Thank you for the luv and for watching!
I wish I used Affirm years ago OMG I really didn’t know what I was missing! my hair was so dry and damaged from not taking care of my hair and the ORS box relaxer left my hair so under processed on top of always burning my scalp badly I decided to try the affirm system after watching a video of yours and others and relaxed my hair with the sensitive scalp formula a week ago, it immediately brought life back to my hair and it is so soft and moisturized, I used the positive link as a deep conditioning treatment yesterday and I didn’t really have any hair lost. I can go a few days without having to moisturize and seal my hair and it will still feel soft, before my hair would just suck the moisturizer right up and get dry easily.
Wow!! Sis, I appreciate the feedback. So glad you had positive results with Affirm, too. ORS is a great relaxer but I prefer the ingredients in Affirm plus it doesn’t burn my scalp either. Your hair sounds like it’s on the right track and thriving. Keep up the great work🫶🏾💕
I would NOT go back to the old stylist for trims! I think it’s easier to “train” the new stylist (with trims) to do what you’d like, as opposed to break your old stylist out of his habit of cutting off too much!
I went to Super Cuts to get my ends trimmed. The first time I told her she could cut more if she felt it was needed. I was done with those split ends. The second time she actually asked me how much I wanted cut. She was the opposite of a regular stylist.
The fact that I just recently decided to check up on your channel since it’s been a while and was wondering what you were up to and you post your latest video in this time is such a lovely coincidence
It's really great to see you. Your hair is doing super well, and it's beautiful. I can't wait to hear about the new products, especially the edge controls. 💜
My vote is to go back to Great Clips if your stylist cuts off your progress. Guide the stylist and in addition delicately try to ask about how often they sharpen their shears. It's a sharp shear that provides the crisp look.
I use phyto relaxer cause it doesn't use calcium or sodium hydroxide. I heard of it a long time ago in an interview of Michelle Obamas hairstylist at that time. I love it, doesn't feel the same as others, hair gets real straight and bouncy, so bouncy
@@michelleclark8099 PHYTORELAXER INDEX 2 for Normal and Thick hair The non-chemical relaxer is made with soy, egg, and mushrooms instead of sodium hydroxide for a more gentle process. The no-lye formula. I saw it searching for something not made with chemicals. Bookmarked it. Later read/ heard Michelle Obama used it at the time, watched her hair, then bought it. Looks harder to find now. They have newer models. Im going to buy a few this time. Maybe look to order internationally after.
I was definitely excited to see you pop up on my RUclips timeline again! What a great video update for the last month of the year! Can't wait to try the Wow product 🤗
so wait, you like Affirm now? I remember the video you created where you said you didn't like Affirm. I was just the opposite of you. I had been using ORS, and I hated it, so I went back to Affirm. well, welcome to using Affirm correctly❤❤❤❗️
I have been using Affirm for years & absolutely love it. At one point I was going to great clips also, they really listen in terms of how much you want cut. You should probably share with the person who cut your hair to cut a little bit more.
1:02 Hello Val, You look beautiful and your hair is gorgeous! Love,love your content. I never had an issue with the growth or length of my hair. Had really short to medium hair cuts over the years. Decided to let it grow. I am using your ideas to help strengthen my hair and make it thicker. It is truly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.❤
Love your hair updates! I'm going to invest in Affirm in February on my next relaxer .. I hope to have great results as you did. Look forward to your edge control update! Happy holidays ❤
Hair goals! 3 questions: what do you think about using blow dry brushes on relaxed hair? Is that something you’d try? Will you make a video on natural ladies going back to relaxers , giving tips on caring for relaxed hair ?
Hey! This video was more confirmation that I need to switch to Affirm. I'm gonna try to suggest this brand to my stylist, because she recently switched to mizani, and 4-5 weeks in, my hair is unusually thicker already! 🤦🏾♀It feels as if I'm about due for another one soon. And I usually stretch my relaxers 10-12 weeks, but there's no way I'll be able to do so this time😔. Hair looking GREAT girl!!❤
@@marwatageldin my stylist had some in her salon. I don't know where she got it, but she said it was expensive. She said it was lye, also. Don't know if it was the butter blend.
Hey hun! I used Mizani years ago, it was the butter blend line, and it left my hair severely underprocessed. Not sure what happened but I never used it again🙅🏾♀️
Oh wow. I followed you when you first began your hair journey as a youngin😊 on youtube years agooo. Now, to see you pop up and see you are doing well, married,etc. Congratulations ❤Beautiful!@
Day-1er here, lol, hair looks fabulous as always and so do you. I fell off, but I'm jumping back on asap, this was the inspiration that I needed and mos def trying Affirm... Thanks for the update great video!!
Hey girl!! I appreciate your loyalty over the yearsss🙏🏾 Yes jump back in and try to remain consistent! If you decide to try Affirm, let me know how it goes💕
You look beautiful. Hair on point. I didn't know the color wow was a leave in. Thats pretty cool. I think im going to drop the idea of growing my hair.
Thank you so muchhh!! The Color Wow is an anti frizz/heat protectant treatment but I preferred to not use any leave-ins. It’s amazinggg. Focus on the health of your hair and eventually the length will come💕
@@HairliciousIncoh ok. That's cool. Normally cult favorites don't live up to the hype. I take good care of my health and hair. I realize that it doesn't matter much.
Val your hair looks amazing. I think I will try Affirm on my next relaxer Cycle.I try to go easy ever since I had a set back, But kept going to grow my waist length hair back... whew no choice. anyhow Great Content per usual
As a texlax girlie I have been doing some of your routines when having open hair . Started deep conditioning once a week for a month then put my hair under protective styling since I’m always around water . I don’t oil hair when on this as I noticed debris Everytime I undo . So been doing clove water to cool and stop itching and I have seen the health improvement of my hair 😇I’m looking to change some products it’s time to introduce some products that are now available in my country that you use so thank you for getting my hair to it’s state ❤
Great video as always! I’m 7 months post and haven’t been able to find my usual relaxer. I’m going to try the Affirm system, pretty sure it will turn out great. ❤
Hey Judy👋🏾 You see! I think it has something to do with the strength of the relaxer, at least from my observation 😊 Fiberguard is for fine colour treated hair or if you want more texture remaining in your strands. What makes you want to switch?
Thank you, hun💓 I hear you. Motherhood can really do a number on our hair. It happens! Keep up with your postnatal vitamins, water intake and regimen as much as you can. You got this!
Hi! Your hair is lovely as always. Glad that you are back! 😊Just recently ran out of relaxer and found out that my relaxer is discontinued. How did you or how can I find a Avlon Distributor?
Hi . I love your channel and I’ve learnt a lot. I dearly need the keracare Humecto deep conditioner , ORS RELAXER, ors conditioner and ors shampoo. These are products I started using since viewing your videos. I am in Nigeria and I’m finding it difficult to access these products. Please help.
I love the Affirm. I used the AFFIRM for Dry and itchy Scalp? Have you used the RevAir dryer? I love it. just ordered the Color Wow. Will it work with the RevAir dryer?
I go to Great Clips as well! I've had good experiences there. They do whatever I ask, and I'm in and out quick. I use Affirm 5 in 1. Different from Aphogee but works great. I just hate it requires 30 mins instead of 2 like Aphogee. I am a faithful Olaplex user. Do you think the Wow product would interfere with Olaplex's properties?
Thanks for sharing your experience with Great Clips, hun. I agree, it’s such a fast in and out process plus I can book my appointments in their app. It’s such a breeze!! I have the 5 in 1 but there’s no protein. I think they changed the ingredients recently, double check yours and let me know😉 I don’t think the Color Wow will interfere with Olaplex, if anything it may enhance it!
Aww 🥹 thanks hun!! I typically flat iron with every relaxer day session and sometimes in-between. I still air dry or revair my hair on wash days though.
@@twinklestar6942… the Revair is a really nice hair dryer… Google it and you will see how it looks… I have been thinking about investing in it or the Dyson supersonic….
Good morning sis..on my new relaxed journey after being natural for over 7 years...my question is should I do a protein treatment before same or after touch up? Subscriber by the way...ty!
Hello Val! Your content & tips are great. Thank you for your time sharing your journey. Question about the WOW. I used the product as directed and it's very tacky to the touch. Did I use too much product or does it change after flat iron? I did blow-dry to activate product. Thank you!
Hello, first I want to say your hair is gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos. I want to ask you about relaxers containing formaldehyde. Do you know which brands don’t contain it? When I look online it’s very vague. Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful day.😊
I just used the Affirm Dry and Itchy Scalp relaxer. I like it. Is there a leave in for after I finish relaxing using it. There is no post relaxing finishing product.
My hair reverts a week after I use affirm. All the texture comes back! I left it for almost 30mins my last relaxer but same thing. And I use normal strength.
Hey girl! When I googled affirm to kind of check it out, I noticed a lot of links were popping up about law suits and cancer causing ingredients. Did you come across those too before you made your change? If so what made you still continue to go ahead and use Affirm?
Hey Val I listen and watch your channel all the time. I have a question today what about scalp care? I see no videos out there on scalp care at all do you have one? Think will have one?
not sure if you addressed this already, but what is your take on the perm = cancer idea that’s been floating around lol i really don’t know what to believe smh
Clarify with a clarifying shampoo (this will get rid of any product buildup), then use a sulfate free shampoo (this will bring back slip and softness into the hair), follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner (zero protein in the ingredients) for 30-45mins with heat. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for about 4-6 weeks to help restore balance💕
@@HairliciousInc I mean no harm whatsoever, just write to people without a lot of fluff. It's not fluffy when I tell you, you look amazingly blessed, beautiful and joyous because I mean it sincerely. As for my hair, I wasn't trying to stretch but suffered a setback with a stand-in stylist when my fave was booked solid last year (Fall '22). So, over the past year I healed my hair without heat, hair oils & herbs.... naturalista remedies and regular trims. I'm going in for a retouch, almost virgin, on 12/21/23. I'll be in touch, so good to see you again, my virtual daughter. #HappyHolidays #MerryChristmas
Hi,i currently use ORS normal relaxer and i have a mushroom cut,i like my hair bone straight,i seen in your other video you set the timer for 15min as your sis was applying than rinsed it out,it takes close to 20min for my hair to get straight(thats after i apply than let it sit for 20min) i have 3c/4a...would you recommend i try the same process with affirm or do it how you did in your video?
Could you please review the Affirm 5in1 treatment…. I wanna purchase it but I haven’t got a sensible review on if it’s good or not. I use all Avalon products but I have been using Apogee protein but it leaves my hair very dry I have to go in with the positive link to get it soft again. Please help
Val- I did my second relaxer this year after being 4C natural a few weeks back. Used Affirm. I did relax mid way down to ends due to underprocess on previous. I am shedding like crazy, help!!!

Hmm! Good point. That’s definitely something to consider. As the saying goes…it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks for the advice💕
I'm still salty from that unwanted cut😅
Hahaha 🤣 it definitely hurt but I loved my ends!

Yes! Guiding is easier than training. The stress😅 LOL. Thanks Kimberly💕

great video, beautiful hair !
Hey girl! Long time. Thanks for the luv💕
Hi . I love your channel and I’ve learnt a lot. I dearly need the keracare Humecto deep conditioner , ORS RELAXER, ors conditioner and ors shampoo. These are products I started using since viewing your videos. I am in Nigeria and I’m finding it difficult to access these products. Please help.
We appreciate you ❤
🥹🥹🥹 love y’all, seriously!
Your hair is beautiful love it
Thank you, Teresa😘
I love the Affirm. I used the AFFIRM for Dry and itchy Scalp?
Have you used the RevAir dryer? I love it.
just ordered the Color Wow. Will it work with the RevAir dryer?
I go to Great Clips as well! I've had good experiences there. They do whatever I ask, and I'm in and out quick. I use Affirm 5 in 1. Different from Aphogee but works great. I just hate it requires 30 mins instead of 2 like Aphogee. I am a faithful Olaplex user. Do you think the Wow product would interfere with Olaplex's properties?
Thanks for sharing your experience with Great Clips, hun. I agree, it’s such a fast in and out process plus I can book my appointments in their app. It’s such a breeze!!
I have the 5 in 1 but there’s no protein. I think they changed the ingredients recently, double check yours and let me know😉
I don’t think the Color Wow will interfere with Olaplex, if anything it may enhance it!
@@HairliciousInc thanks! Omg, let me check my 5 in 1!! Thanks for that information!!
Has your pre-relaxer routine changed ? Can you do an updated video if it has🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nope! Nothing has changed✨
Hair looking good ❤
Your hair looks super good. Do you flat iron your hair every wash day? Or do you air dry still?
Aww 🥹 thanks hun!! I typically flat iron with every relaxer day session and sometimes in-between. I still air dry or revair my hair on wash days though.
Okay cool. But what is revair . I don’t know what that mean? I’m sorry
@@twinklestar6942… the Revair is a really nice hair dryer… Google it and you will see how it looks… I have been thinking about investing in it or the Dyson supersonic….
@@twinklestar6942it’s a blow dryer.
Good morning sis..on my new relaxed journey after being natural for over 7 years...my question is should I do a protein treatment before same or after touch up? Subscriber by the way...ty!
Please tell if any products say Vegan on the label. Thank you.
That’s not typically what I look for in a product.
Hello Val! Your content & tips are great. Thank you for your time sharing your journey. Question about the WOW. I used the product as directed and it's very tacky to the touch. Did I use too much product or does it change after flat iron? I did blow-dry to activate product. Thank you!
Hello, first I want to say your hair is gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos. I want to ask you about relaxers containing formaldehyde. Do you know which brands don’t contain it? When I look online it’s very vague. Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful day.😊
Great video Sunshine! I heard coconut oil makes your hair darker
Thank you💕 is that so?! Coconut oil is all up and through my regimen☺️
I just used the Affirm Dry and Itchy Scalp relaxer. I like it. Is there a leave in for after I finish relaxing using it. There is no post relaxing finishing product.
You would need to use the affirm 5 in 1 reconstructor or positive link after.
@@HairliciousInc. I did use that. The 5 on 1. Thanks. I guess that’s it.
I'm afraid to order the Affirm mild formula but people are complaining about the packaging comes damaged with relaxer everywhere!
My hair reverts a week after I use affirm. All the texture comes back! I left it for almost 30mins my last relaxer but same thing. And I use normal strength.
Oh no! That happened to me but I wasn’t using it right. Are you self relaxing?! Are you following all the steps?
Only relaxers that straighten my hair are guandadine I don't know other's don't work well.
Using lukewarm water when washing and rinsing is beneficial!
How do you get affirm are you a beautician
Hey girl! When I googled affirm to kind of check it out, I noticed a lot of links were popping up about law suits and cancer causing ingredients. Did you come across those too before you made your change? If so what made you still continue to go ahead and use Affirm?
Hey Val I listen and watch your channel all the time.
I have a question today what about scalp care? I see no videos out there on scalp care at all do you have one? Think will have one?
Hey hun! That’s a good one💕 I don’t do too much to be honest but a video on my scalp care would be a great idea.
I'm a relaxed gal too! Just wondering if you'll try the Cecred products?
Will no lye Affirm work? I can only use no lye.
It should work just fine as well.
@@HairliciousInc it did.
not sure if you addressed this already, but what is your take on the perm = cancer idea that’s been floating around lol i really don’t know what to believe smh
How soon after relaxer day do you start moisturizing and sealing?
Hi Val thanks for your videos and saving my hair. Is the Affirm kit no-lye? I usually prefer lye but the kit has everything i need. Can i go for it?
Hey!! The kit I believe is no-lye. I’ve seen ladies use it with great results. Personally, I prefer lye.
How do you feel about the FDA planning to ban relaxers in 2024?
They aren't banning relaxers in general, just ones containing formaldehyde.
Your hair looks fabulous. Could you please share links to the wigs featured in the video (lace wig and hair band wig). Thanks
Thank you so so much!! The videos for these wigs are here on my channel💕
Do you use the affirm relaxer with lye or no lye?
How do I treat protein damage. I am afraid to wash my own hair right now
Clarify with a clarifying shampoo (this will get rid of any product buildup), then use a sulfate free shampoo (this will bring back slip and softness into the hair), follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner (zero protein in the ingredients) for 30-45mins with heat. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for about 4-6 weeks to help restore balance💕
Hello dear!💕
How often do you wash your hair?
Hi Val!
I was wondering what you were doing using ORS.
Glad you're with the pros now, are you a licensed stylist?
You have a pro products distributor?
LOL really?! You sound just like my Avlon Distributor🤣 No, I’m not a stylist.
@@HairliciousInc I mean no harm whatsoever, just write to people without a lot of fluff.
It's not fluffy when I tell you, you look amazingly blessed, beautiful and joyous because I mean it sincerely.
As for my hair, I wasn't trying to stretch but suffered a setback with a stand-in stylist when my fave was booked solid last year (Fall '22).
So, over the past year I healed my hair without heat, hair oils & herbs.... naturalista remedies and regular trims.
I'm going in for a retouch, almost virgin, on 12/21/23.
I'll be in touch, so good to see you again, my virtual daughter.

Hi,i currently use ORS normal relaxer and i have a mushroom cut,i like my hair bone straight,i seen in your other video you set the timer for 15min as your sis was applying than rinsed it out,it takes close to 20min for my hair to get straight(thats after i apply than let it sit for 20min) i have 3c/4a...would you recommend i try the same process with affirm or do it how you did in your video?
A trim is less than an inch and thing more is a cut. I like the blunt look also on my hair.
Could you please review the Affirm 5in1 treatment…. I wanna purchase it but I haven’t got a sensible review on if it’s good or not. I use all Avalon products but I have been using Apogee protein but it leaves my hair very dry I have to go in with the positive link to get it soft again. Please help
Will no lye Affirm work? My hair and scalp never worked with lye relaxers. The last relaxer I used was ORS no lye.
Yes. It works great and didn't burn.
Val- I did my second relaxer this year after being 4C natural a few weeks back. Used Affirm. I did relax mid way down to ends due to underprocess on previous. I am shedding like crazy, help!!!
Oh no! Sorry to hear hun. Are you sure it’s shedding and not breakage? Which affirm relaxer did you use and what was your process?
