I would NOT go back to the old stylist for trims! I think it’s easier to “train” the new stylist (with trims) to do what you’d like, as opposed to break your old stylist out of his habit of cutting off too much!

Thanks for introducing me to the Affirm System...after a 14 week stretch, I finally switched from ORS to Affirm...I love this relaxer. It is moisturizing and it seems to work with my hair! Thank you!!

I’ve been using the Affirm Fiberguard Sensitve Scalp relaxer for 2 years and I love it. Affirm relaxers are definitely a game changer.

I was wondering where you were! First off, you look soooo beautiful! Ok, to business: Your old hairstylist disregarded your very simple request, so please don't reward him with your business by returning to him. You are the queen of relaxed hair, and deserve better. Besides, it's easier to cut a little more than to have to wait months to grow back the excessive amounts of hair he's cut. Also, I don't let them determine how much to trim. Let them know how much you want taken off.

Girl I’m here for anything that you have to say 😂 ❤

Sunshyne looking like a snack 😉

💜Hi I just want to thank you for all your tips and tricks and sharing all your knowledge. My hair was very overprocessed, my own doing by overlapping relaxer, and I’ve been following your advice with deep conditioning, protein treatments and even switched to Affirm. It’s been about three months now and I see a huge difference in my hair. Much less shedding, less frizzy, thicker and much more moisturized. I use your method of sectioning the hair prior to relaxing and it’s genius!! It’s only a couple of weeks since I first relaxed with the Affirm Sensitive Scalp formula and so far my roots are straight and feel very nice. I use the Affirm Protecto with the Dax and it’s great!! My goal is to grow out all the damaged hair and I look forward to healthy hair. You look beautiful as always and thank you so much!!💜

AMAZING update video Val! Affirm is definitely your relaxer and that heat protectant is such a game changer, can so see it in your hair and how shiny and healthy it looks. Beautiful hair as always 😍

My vote is to go back to Great Clips if your stylist cuts off your progress. Guide the stylist and in addition delicately try to ask about how often they sharpen their shears. It's a sharp shear that provides the crisp look.

I use phyto relaxer cause it doesn't use calcium or sodium hydroxide. I heard of it a long time ago in an interview of Michelle Obamas hairstylist at that time. I love it, doesn't feel the same as others, hair gets real straight and bouncy, so bouncy

Your tips are soo helpful always, thank you for showing the processed community that it can be done!

I wish I used Affirm years ago OMG I really didn’t know what I was missing! my hair was so dry and damaged from not taking care of my hair and the ORS box relaxer left my hair so under processed on top of always burning my scalp badly I decided to try the affirm system after watching a video of yours and others and relaxed my hair with the sensitive scalp formula a week ago, it immediately brought life back to my hair and it is so soft and moisturized, I used the positive link as a deep conditioning treatment yesterday and I didn’t really have any hair lost. I can go a few days without having to moisturize and seal my hair and it will still feel soft, before my hair would just suck the moisturizer right up and get dry easily.

Am here for the update sis😊l have to try the affirm relaxer,low manipulation is key😊well said ❤

Looking great!! Loving your hair, the stylist that's doing my hair uses the Affirm as well. Good to see you. Miss you. God-Bless you 🪷 ❤

Happy to see you again. You are such an inspiration to me. I recently had a hug set back and got five inches cut off 6 weeks ago do to not trimming between braids and then stretching too long and having underprocessed hair. It's only been 6 weeks and I have close two 2 inches of new growth. I've been following almost all of your tips and my hair is flourishing! Thank you for sharing all of knowledge!

Hey luvs💞 Happy Sunday!!

Hey Sunshyne! It’s been a while lovely! Your hair is looking beautiful as per usual! ❤

So happy to see you giving us an update. Im looking to make the relaxer switch aswell. More videos in 2024 please💕

The fact that I just recently decided to check up on your channel since it’s been a while and was wondering what you were up to and you post your latest video in this time is such a lovely coincidence

Good to see you. Your hair looks as fabulous as ever! Thanks for the relaxer update, can't wait to see your other hair products as well.

so wait, you like Affirm now? I remember the video you created where you said you didn't like Affirm. I was just the opposite of you. I had been using ORS, and I hated it, so I went back to Affirm. well, welcome to using Affirm correctly❤❤❤❗️

It's really great to see you. Your hair is doing super well, and it's beautiful. I can't wait to hear about the new products, especially the edge controls. 💜

I was definitely excited to see you pop up on my KZfaq timeline again! What a great video update for the last month of the year! Can't wait to try the Wow product 🤗

I have been using Affirm for years & absolutely love it. At one point I was going to great clips also, they really listen in terms of how much you want cut. You should probably share with the person who cut your hair to cut a little bit more.

As a texlax girlie I have been doing some of your routines when having open hair . Started deep conditioning once a week for a month then put my hair under protective styling since I’m always around water . I don’t oil hair when on this as I noticed debris Everytime I undo . So been doing clove water to cool and stop itching and I have seen the health improvement of my hair 😇I’m looking to change some products it’s time to introduce some products that are now available in my country that you use so thank you for getting my hair to it’s state ❤

Now, I am so tempted to get the color WOW lol. Your hair looks gorgeous and long 😍.

Oh wow. I followed you when you first began your hair journey as a youngin😊 on youtube years agooo. Now, to see you pop up and see you are doing well, married,etc. Congratulations ❤Beautiful!@

Your hair looks amazing! And that orange top! Omg so cuteee

1:02 Hello Val, You look beautiful and your hair is gorgeous! Love,love your content. I never had an issue with the growth or length of my hair. Had really short to medium hair cuts over the years. Decided to let it grow. I am using your ideas to help strengthen my hair and make it thicker. It is truly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.❤

Love your hair tips ❤️ , if you don’t mind you should do a night time routine video for relaxed hair!

Hey sis, good to see you. You look amazing! That color orange looks beautiful on you.

Yea Gonna need a updated weekly wash routine

You look beautiful. Hair on point. I didn't know the color wow was a leave in. Thats pretty cool. I think im going to drop the idea of growing my hair.

Hey Val, it’s been a while since I commented, but I’m glad to see you and your hair are thriving. Keep up the good work.

Love your hair updates! I'm going to invest in Affirm in February on my next relaxer .. I hope to have great results as you did. Look forward to your edge control update! Happy holidays ❤

The relaxer I used years ago would lighten my hair too. I love Affirm as well, I'm thinking of switching to Fiberguard though 🤔

Thank you for the update. 😊

Hey! This video was more confirmation that I need to switch to Affirm. I'm gonna try to suggest this brand to my stylist, because she recently switched to mizani, and 4-5 weeks in, my hair is unusually thicker already! 🤦🏾‍♀It feels as if I'm about due for another one soon. And I usually stretch my relaxers 10-12 weeks, but there's no way I'll be able to do so this time😔. Hair looking GREAT girl!!❤

Val your hair looks amazing. I think I will try Affirm on my next relaxer Cycle.I try to go easy ever since I had a set back, But kept going to grow my waist length hair back... whew no choice. anyhow Great Content per usual

You're looking gorgeous 💅🏼 and fit 💪🏼. Goals 💐. I will check out the Wow hair product (especially in the summer months) , thanks !

Day-1er here, lol, hair looks fabulous as always and so do you. I fell off, but I'm jumping back on asap, this was the inspiration that I needed and mos def trying Affirm... Thanks for the update great video!!

Thanks for sharing and the updates. Your hair is beautiful!

Missed your videos.. glad you're back! Your hair looks great❤

Love your hair!! ❤❤ Gotta check out the Color WOW. Thanks for the tips.

Val you're looking really good 😍

Hair goals! 3 questions: what do you think about using blow dry brushes on relaxed hair? Is that something you’d try? Will you make a video on natural ladies going back to relaxers , giving tips on caring for relaxed hair ?

I am Happy you are back ❤❤❤❤

Thanks Val as always for the tips. Can’t wait to see what edge control gel you are using now. Love your videos ❤️

Great video as always! I’m 7 months post and haven’t been able to find my usual relaxer. I’m going to try the Affirm system, pretty sure it will turn out great. ❤

Your hair looks amazing!!❤❤

Nice your hair is looking great as usual. On my end though I really don't know. Since i became a mum my hair care has really been inconsistent.

Val, u have very beautiful hair, your hair is goals! TFS

I used the Affirm for dry and itchy scalp. ❤I love it. No Looking back.

Hi Val, can you possibly do a video of your relaxer day using Affirm please? Thank you

I love Affirm. I have been using it for years now

You look amazing 😊❤ Would love a skincare video if you're comfortable doing one 😅

So happy to see you and thanks for the info.Really helpful ❤❤❤

Hi! Your hair is lovely as always. Glad that you are back! 😊Just recently ran out of relaxer and found out that my relaxer is discontinued. How did you or how can I find a Avlon Distributor?

Relaxer day tomorrow & I think it might be time to switch to Affirm to complement the Keracare system.

Hi . I love your channel and I’ve learnt a lot. I dearly need the keracare Humecto deep conditioner , ORS RELAXER, ors conditioner and ors shampoo. These are products I started using since viewing your videos. I am in Nigeria and I’m finding it difficult to access these products. Please help.

❤❤❤❤ love love love your hairrrrr

We appreciate you ❤

great video, beautiful hair !

Your hair is beautiful love it

I have followed u for over ten yrs now just realized it.

My hair reverts a week after I use affirm. All the texture comes back! I left it for almost 30mins my last relaxer but same thing. And I use normal strength.

I love the Affirm. I used the AFFIRM for Dry and itchy Scalp? Have you used the RevAir dryer? I love it. just ordered the Color Wow. Will it work with the RevAir dryer?

I go to Great Clips as well! I've had good experiences there. They do whatever I ask, and I'm in and out quick. I use Affirm 5 in 1. Different from Aphogee but works great. I just hate it requires 30 mins instead of 2 like Aphogee. I am a faithful Olaplex user. Do you think the Wow product would interfere with Olaplex's properties?

How do you get affirm are you a beautician

Hair looking good ❤

I'm afraid to order the Affirm mild formula but people are complaining about the packaging comes damaged with relaxer everywhere!

I just used the Affirm Dry and Itchy Scalp relaxer. I like it. Is there a leave in for after I finish relaxing using it. There is no post relaxing finishing product.

Hello Val! Your content & tips are great. Thank you for your time sharing your journey. Question about the WOW. I used the product as directed and it's very tacky to the touch. Did I use too much product or does it change after flat iron? I did blow-dry to activate product. Thank you!

How soon after relaxer day do you start moisturizing and sealing?

Good morning sis..on my new relaxed journey after being natural for over 7 years...my question is should I do a protein treatment before same or after touch up? Subscriber by the way...ty!

Will no lye Affirm work? I can only use no lye.

Hello, first I want to say your hair is gorgeous and I really enjoy your videos. I want to ask you about relaxers containing formaldehyde. Do you know which brands don’t contain it? When I look online it’s very vague. Thank you so very much. Have a wonderful day.😊

A trim is less than an inch and thing more is a cut. I like the blunt look also on my hair.

Using lukewarm water when washing and rinsing is beneficial!

How do I treat protein damage. I am afraid to wash my own hair right now

Great video Sunshine! I heard coconut oil makes your hair darker

Do you use the affirm relaxer with lye or no lye?

Please tell if any products say Vegan on the label. Thank you.

Your hair looks fabulous. Could you please share links to the wigs featured in the video (lace wig and hair band wig). Thanks

Hey girl! When I googled affirm to kind of check it out, I noticed a lot of links were popping up about law suits and cancer causing ingredients. Did you come across those too before you made your change? If so what made you still continue to go ahead and use Affirm?

I'm a relaxed gal too! Just wondering if you'll try the Cecred products?

not sure if you addressed this already, but what is your take on the perm = cancer idea that’s been floating around lol i really don’t know what to believe smh

Hey Val I listen and watch your channel all the time. I have a question today what about scalp care? I see no videos out there on scalp care at all do you have one? Think will have one?

How do you feel about the FDA planning to ban relaxers in 2024?

Thanks for sharing

Could you please review the Affirm 5in1 treatment…. I wanna purchase it but I haven’t got a sensible review on if it’s good or not. I use all Avalon products but I have been using Apogee protein but it leaves my hair very dry I have to go in with the positive link to get it soft again. Please help

Hi,i currently use ORS normal relaxer and i have a mushroom cut,i like my hair bone straight,i seen in your other video you set the timer for 15min as your sis was applying than rinsed it out,it takes close to 20min for my hair to get straight(thats after i apply than let it sit for 20min) i have 3c/4a...would you recommend i try the same process with affirm or do it how you did in your video?

Your hair looks super good. Do you flat iron your hair every wash day? Or do you air dry still?

Does your Affirm distributor sale online? I can't find any around me.

Thank you your VIDEO very helpful thank you so much I really appreciate it

Hello dear!💕 How often do you wash your hair?

Will no lye Affirm work? My hair and scalp never worked with lye relaxers. The last relaxer I used was ORS no lye.

Val- I did my second relaxer this year after being 4C natural a few weeks back. Used Affirm. I did relax mid way down to ends due to underprocess on previous. I am shedding like crazy, help!!!

What is your opinion on all of these relaxer claims of causing various forms of cancer?

Sunshine who is Val 😅
