Key Ingredients of Affirm Sensitive Scalp Creme Relaxer 1 Application:
Hydrolyzed Keratin: Keratin is a fibrous protein naturally found in hair, skin, and nails, playing a crucial role in the structure, strength, and elasticity of hair. Hydrolyzed keratin is created by breaking down keratin into smaller molecules called peptides through a process known as hydrolysis. This form of keratin is more easily absorbed by the hair and can penetrate deeper into the hair structure. The use of hydrolyzed keratin in hair products aims to strengthen, repair, and moisturize the hair by providing building blocks similar to those of natural keratin. Keratin strengthens the hair structure by filling in cracks in the cuticle. It fortifies the hair shaft, prevents breakage, repairs damaged areas, hydrates, reduces frizz, smooths the cuticles, and adds shine, elasticity, and softness.
Argan Oil: Argan oil is renowned for its numerous benefits for hair due to its richness in essential nutrients such as fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants. It provides deep hydration, making hair softer and easier to manage, which is particularly beneficial for dry and damaged hair. The antioxidants in the oil also help repair damage caused by chemical treatments and heat exposure, aiding in the restoration of damaged hair health. Additionally, argan oil acts as a protective shield against sun damage and pollutants while combating frizz by smoothing the hair cuticles. Although there is no formal scientific evidence, some people believe that argan oil can stimulate hair growth by improving scalp health. To maximize its effects, it is recommended to apply argan oil to damp or dry hair, leave it on for some time before rinsing, or use it as a finishing serum to add shine and control frizz.
Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter: This butter provides deep hydration thanks to its fatty acids, which penetrate deep into the hair fiber to lock in moisture, thereby reducing dryness and breakage. It also improves hair elasticity, making it stronger and less prone to breaking during styling. Additionally, the antioxidants in cupuaçu butter protect hair from environmental damage such as UV rays and pollution. It helps reduce frizz by smoothing the hair cuticles, making styling easier and enhancing the natural shine of the hair. Cupuaçu butter is particularly recommended for those with dry, damaged, or curly hair that requires intensive moisturizing care. It can be used in its pure form or incorporated into various hair products such as shampoos, conditioners, and masks. Its ability to seal in moisture and improve overall hair texture makes it a popular choice for hair care.
Usage Instructions for Affirm Sensitive Scalp Creme Relaxer 1 Application:
The Sensitive Scalp Creme Relaxer (STEP 2A) must be carefully mixed with the liquid activator (STEP 2B) before use.
After applying Protecto® (STEP 1), divide the hair into four sections and gently secure them with clips.
Set the timer according to the strength and timing guide on the instruction sheet.
Apply a generous amount of relaxer to finely parted sections of hair using an application brush or the back of a tail comb. Start with the back sections, working downward from the crown. Move to the front sections, working from the crown forward. Apply to the hairline areas last. Avoid applying the relaxer directly to the scalp.
For touch-ups, apply the relaxer cream only to the new growth. Avoid overlapping onto previously relaxed hair.
After application, smooth the relaxer with the back of a tail comb, using fine sections and working in the same direction as the application.
Once the desired straightness is achieved, rinse the relaxer thoroughly from the hair with warm water. Follow with the 5-in-1 Reconstructor and/or Affirm Positive Link Conditioner.
