Affirm Argan Sensitive Scalp Relaxer: Gentle Straightening & Nourishment for Sensitive Scalps (4 Applications)
Written for people whose scalp reacts badly to relaxers. If you have come out of a service with burning, stinging or a scalp that itches for days afterwards, a sensitive scalp formula is the version to ask for.
It is a four application kit, so it covers roughly a year of touch-ups for one person at the usual six to eight week spacing.
- Formulated to reduce the stinging and itching a standard relaxer can cause
- Argan oil worked in for conditioning through the process
- Four applications in the kit, which brings the cost per service down
- Suited to curly, coily and frizzy textures being straightened
Sensitive formulas process a little differently, so do not stretch the timing to compensate. A base oil on the scalp and hairline before you start is still worth doing, gentler formula or not, and a strand test tells you far more than the box does. Kit instructions over anything you read online, including this.

Application tips
Each of the four kits is measured for one head, so mix only what you are using and do not save half for next time. Once activator meets creme, the clock has started.
Have a second pair of hands for the back if you can. Fifteen minutes of fumbling at the crown is where over processing happens.
Rinse fully, then move straight on to the neutralising shampoo.
Results
The curl pattern releases to a smooth, straight finish, and the process itself is far less of an ordeal for anyone whose scalp normally protests. Comfort through the processing time is the difference you notice first.
Lengths come out sleek and easy to comb, and the hairline, which suffers most in any relaxer service, is left in better shape than a standard formula tends to leave it.
Composition
- Argan Oil
- Conditions through the process, so hair is not left squeaking dry
