I don't know what my beautician uses, she usually puts the box where I can't see it. I think it's Affirm, but I've been going to this lady since I was in High School so I trust her. I usually get a relaxer every 6mo to a year. In my mind, if I go back any sooner my hair will be overprocessed (I've had that happen before and most of my hair fell out). But, by waiting so long I can hardly get the comb through my hair, so I'm gonna start going for a touch up at 3 months and see how that works.

I've never tried to relax my own hair, I'm afraid of what might happen, but I might try the next time I need a relaxer.
