My Hair's Journey and the Decision to Relax
My hair was overdue for a relaxer, about 15 weeks post-treatment. I usually relax my hair every 12 weeks, but life got in the way. The new growth was becoming increasingly difficult to manage, prompting me to seek a salon for a much-needed treatment. I was excited to get back to a smoother, more manageable style.
This was my first time trying out this salon. I needed to relax and take some time to focus on self-care. I was looking forward to the experience of a new salon and a new hair texture.
The Unexpected Relaxer Choice: Mizani
I initially planned to use my usual Affirm relaxer, but my plans changed at the salon. The stylist recommended Mizani Sensitive Scalp Relaxer, explaining that my hair was healthy enough to use a single application of the Mizani product, rather than needing two applications of my usual brand, effectively saving money.
The stylist's suggestion made sense. While I was surprised by the switch, the cost savings, and her expertise, made me comfortable with trying a new product. I’ve heard good things about Mizani, so I was open to the change.
The Salon Experience and Aftercare
The application process at the salon was smooth and relaxing. The stylist used a scalp protectant and a product to protect my already relaxed hair. She mixed the relaxer with the activator and carefully applied it to my hair.
After the relaxing process, I felt rejuvenated. My hair felt soft and smooth. I'm glad I decided to try a new salon and a new relaxer.
Final Thoughts and Product Comparison
Overall, I'm pleased with the results. The Mizani Sensitive Scalp Relaxer did a great job, leaving my hair soft and manageable. While I usually use Affirm, the stylist’s advice to use Mizani saved me money in this instance. The pleasant smell was also a bonus.
I cannot definitively say that Mizani is superior to Affirm. My experience with Mizani was positive, and it provided cost savings this time. Ultimately, the best relaxer depends on individual hair type and preferences. Both brands seem to be high-quality.
