Avlon Affirm Protecto Affirm Protecto is step 1 of an innovative four-step system that provides maximum scalp comfort as it moisturizes dry hair and scalp while relaxing. Affirm Protecto makes hair comb very easily during both wet or dry stages. - A patented organic BiocompHlex, applied along the entire hairshaft, especially to new growth area, prior to relaxing - Rich, positively-charged compounds attach electronically to negative sites along the hairshaft - Penetrates deep within the hair fiber during relaxing. - (Protector accomplishes significant conditioning at this stage because during the straightening process, the hair's pH is relatively high (13.0-13.5) and the cuticles are open wide) - Effectively repairs trichorrhexis nodosa (damaged areas along the hairshaft), resulting in a smooth realignment of damaged fibers. Flyaway split ends are repaired as well - Eases wet combing and minimizes sheddin - Apply along the entire hair shaft and new growth area prior to relaxing. - Do Not Massage Scalp.
