AIR-DRYING AT 9 WEEKS POST RELAXER - My Full Wash Day Routine | Healthy Hair Junkie 

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I was natural for a year and the struggle was real. I felt like a failure when I permed in June Reading comments and seeing that I'm not alone is great!

Yes!!! I am about to backslide. I have a lot of hair and it takes hours even for the simplest style and I know it will only get worse with length. I have been natural for almost 3 years and I'm done. Everyone knows what they can deal with

It's the best way to make sure every strand is coated! xx

Do it 😉

Same here hon! I am find I am not enjoying the natural hair. Past a certain length, I just put it under wigs or wear braids because maintaining work-appropriate styles is a pain (my hair does not behave and gels etc make my scalp flake). I cannot canerow etc, so I don't take it out often when it's styled to go under wigs. It becomes easy to neglect the underlying hair and it just gets dry and breaks without me enjoying it. Honestly, I pay the most attention to my hair (washes, deepcons etc) when it is relaxed. I can care for it without needing hairdressers (except to relax), and I still have the option of wigs when I am many weeks post. I am definitely going straight again.

Thanks girl!! 💜

rizeuse you get a relaxer one or twice a week ? I’m pretty sure what you meant is you deep conditioner twice a week lmaoooo

@@ninapreciosa377 I deep conditionned my hair weekly...Do a protein treatment once a month...But seriously i get my hair relaxed once or twice a year....My hair is mid back lenght

@@ninapreciosa377 I think she meant she gets relaxed once or twice a year.

Glad it was helpful! x

Idk if this is too late, but definitely protective styles. Braids, wigs, twists, etc. I used to get relaxers every month, but using protective styles I’ve slowly been able to stretch them out!

I know that this response is late but I just ran across this vid. I had a hard time too until I started doing protective styles like crochet hair. Then it got to be a whole year without a relaxer and I would take it out 3 to 4 weeks and really deep condition and go back to crochet hair. My hair grew tremendously and thick. I finally got a relaxer bcus it was so thick that I couldn't comb it. I regret getting a relaxer. Not that I'm against them but I remembered why I went natural. It kept breaking off. I'm on my natural journey again. Pray it turned out well for you.

Hi, another late response but when stretching a relaxer it helps to give the new growth some TLC. As in when you're deep conditioning make sure to apply enough product to the new growths that makes them soft and more manageable. I also use a different moisturizer on my new growths than I do on my relaxed hair.

I wash my hair once a week. I have a video on my hair regime which shows how I balance protein & moisture xx

@@HealthyHairJunkie relaxed after a year of being natural. You don't think that washing once a week dries your hair out? Definitely going to try your routines

Yay, I hope you like it!! xx

Try to put it in a protective style or just loosely twist it when you're home to avoid unnecessarily brushing it

I’ve never tried that myself but give it a go! x

@@HealthyHairJunkie I done it without the rollers and it came out fine this time, the last times I didn't use a leave in. Thank you for the video x

i'm afraid that's heat damage darling 😱

Me too struggling the same as you 😭

🤣 I can't believe you're still going strong, you've gotta share your relaxer stretch techniques!

Ahh that's a shame!

I tried the hair dry total disaster for me not working lol

Yay! 💜

Thank you 💜

Scarf or not my roots take longer to dry

Thank you ☺️

Thank you! 💜

Thank you! Please make sure you detangle your hair with a wide tooth comb before going in with the denman 🙏 My natural hair type is 4b/4c xx

Healthy Hair Junkie yup I always use a wide tooth comb but the denman still snaps my hair. It’s as if my hair is to weak for it.

It depends if your hair gets greasy or drys fast if greasy try to do it ounce a week if dry see how long you can go

I’d tour hair can handle it! I like to keep heat to a minimum x

Thank you! 💜

I went with the Estee Lauder Double wear foundation in Amber Honey and it's a perfect match! xx

Healthy Hair Junkie thanks!!

I use the KeraCare Silken Seal x

My next relaxer is in a bout 4/5 weeks xx

What kind of relaxer do you use ?

Affirm creme relaxer x

Every 7-10 days

Do you use shampoo each time? How often do you do a protein treatment? Sorry for so many questions i want to follow your hair regimen it seams to work with my hair like a treat. Thanks

@@kateyve4537 I use a light protein treatment every other wash day and/or a hard protein treatment like the ORS hair mayonnaise every 4-6 weeks. I have a video on my hair regime if you need any other details xx

Oh thank you . But i shaved off all of my btl hair last night.... i am so depressed but U pray I get to a better place soon

The song is Childish Gambino- Feels Like Summer x

I originally got mine from myluxebeauty.com but had a little accident and burned it in the microwave 🙈 so it was replaced directly by thermalhaircare.com xx

It’s just enough products for me but by all means use less if you want 🤷🏾‍♀️
