Welcome to our latest video where we debunk common myths about relaxing your hair! If you’ve heard that relaxing your hair will definitely damage it or lead to major hair issues, this video is a must-watch.
Hello, I am relaxed and yes i have heard the gamut of all the reasons why I should cut my hair off. Usually from a natural with bleach blonde hair too! This client seemed to have very little new growth to relax, or maybe their natural texture was very loose. When was her last relaxer? The reason a lot of people have damaged relaxed hair are typically relaxing too often and also they are not keeping their hair moisturized especially the ends and strengthened with consistent protein treatments. I trim my hair if it needs it, and by me I mean my stylist, once or maybe twice a year, the same amount of times I relax. You spoke lots of good facts.
Thanks for the feedback. Her hair was heat styled and it was still very straight when she came in, but this client had not had a touch up in 10 weeks. She doesn’t use heat at home so she relaxes her roots around every 10 weeks before coming to me as a new client. Keep the feedback coming. And let me know if you are wanting to see any other types of videos. ❤️❤️
I had damaged relaxed hair as well as healthy relaxed hair. I had damaged natural curls as well as healthy natural curls. I have now realised I dont need relaxers cos my hair is easily managed whether relaxed or naturally curly. I don't get who appointed people hair police to dictate what we should or shouldn't do to our hair. Anything if mot done properly can damage our hair. I wont relax my hair, thats my choice and in the same voice I will tell people to wear their hair however they want. If relaxed, follow your stylist's advice on haircare. If natural follow your stylist's advice or do your own research. Any hair can be beautiful with good care
Hi Natalie! First, thanks for watching ❤️ That would really depend on how much of the hair is over processed. If the problem is due to much of the areas being over processed, you can treat the hair with a protein treatment to see if that controls the breakage but eventually the hair is going to need to grow out and the over processed hair will have to be trimmed or cut away. If the under processed hair is the issue (it’s stronger than the relaxed hair), that hair can be spot treated with relaxer. It’s a process that can be tedious but it will help. Ultimately, any over processed hair is not going to be permanently repairable and it will still lead to breakage over time. Growing the hair out and using best practices with frequent trims to remove the over processed hair will be the best option. You could also grow out the hair in a protective style as well. This would still require a big chop or regular trimming to remove the damaged hair. I hope this answers your question.
