Spinoff: Affirm Relaxer advice needed

[demlew]

It turns out my recent underprocessings using ORS lye wasn't my imagination based on posts on here and Hairlicious' recent video. I'm thinking about switching to Affirm and wanted to gather more info from recent users (not the super-old threads). I know @LushLox uses it and I read her helpful posts in the relaxed thread. Anyone else?

I'm also trying to figure out the main differences between Fiberguard and the other version, but I know I want to keep using lye. TIA!

I liked Affirm Fiberguard because it was the only one I found that was good for color treated hair. I used the lye version and as long as I based my scalp really good I didn't get any burns. My hair was pretty strong too, even when I my locs for a hot minute my Affirm hair hung on. I eventually had to cut my hair because it was looking weird lol

The only reason I'm not using it now is because all I could find was the huge tubs and I didn't want to commit to it.
