Wang [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 219801 (2009)] makes the following points about our Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 067801 (2009), arXiv:0805.0679]: (1) He infers that, "contrary to its title, shear banding emerged from monotonic curves only if there was a stress gradient", and he points out that nonquiescent relaxation was found (experimentally) after step strain in geometries without a stress gradient. (2) He disagrees with the values of the parameters we used. (3) In some recent experiments the flow was homogeneous after cessation of step strain, and only subsequently developed nonquiescent macroscopic motion. We only showed step strains that developed an inhomogeneity before cessation of flow. In this reply we address these points.
