Relaxer Routine: 5 Tips to Avoid Damage l KSTIKESDESIGNS 

Anyone else binge watch relaxer day videos before they do their hair? 🤣 Edit: it’s about that time again y’all and I’m back! 😁 You’d honestly think I’d know what I’m doing since I’ve been doing it at home for years but just gotta make sure I’m thorough each time haha. I’m glad to see we’re all on the same page 😅😅 Wishing you all a happy and healthy relaxer! 💕💕

I love how Hairlicious provides such a great template for a healthy relaxed day routine. She's the goat!

Who could give this a thumbs down 👀😒 as a licensed professional she did an amazing job!!!

I was natural for 5 years. I am so happy to start relaxing my hair. But this time around I am doing it the right way

I’m “natural” but I love any hair vid that’s educational! Can I just say thank you for taking the time to replicate you’re process. You really went all in and I feel like most RU-vidrs would’ve explained the footage was lost, what they did, and called it a day. I’m sure this really helped someone relaxing at home 😊.

I’m seriously so happy I watched this because I’ve been natural for over 10 years and I’m over it‼️ Don’t judge me judge ya mamma lol

Some of these comments did not pass the vibe check DISCLAIMER: there is some relaxing of the hair in this video if u do not agree with this u don’t have to watch the video simple don’t click or just click off (idk why u here anyways if u don’t like this stuff lmao) and stop coming in here spreading ya hate for no damn reason act like y’all opinions will change what she does with herself. Girl thank you for this information since the natural community has flourished I haven’t really seen much educational videos on relaxing I need some help with mines I just went back from being natural for 5 years I just couldn’t do it anymore! Needed something new.

Been natural for 3 years and going back to a relaxer tomorrow. This video is very helpful 😊

This is so smart!!! So efficient. I tried a lye relaxer for the first time and had a lovely experience. No burns at all. Matter of fact, the no-lye relaxers used to burn my scalp so much. The ORS lye relaxer is my go-to moving forward because it does my hair great. Thanks for the tips. God bless you.

….I love the pre-parting of the hair! It helps because I had an issue with my already relaxed hair falling on the relaxer. And twisting each part helps to keep those long strands out of the way! That’s so smart! 😉

I’m actually happy there are more videos like this on RU-vid. When I first started self relaxing many years ago, I didn’t know half the shit about relaxers and how to properly apply AND maintain them like I do now. 3 years ago I had to do a big chop because I wanted to go natural for a year...(I felt pressured by my sister and gave in.) and surprise surprise my hair fell out because I didn’t have a modicum of knowledge when it came to my natural hair. By the end of the year I felt like a bald headed Ho and I walked into my stylist’s shop on the verge of tears and told him to cut it all off and relax it again 🥲 Long story short, he gave me some excellent advice and told me my best bet will be to watch RU-vid videos/tutorials because I’ll be destined to find someone with similar hair length, texture and porosity. And wouldn’t you know, he was right. I was able to regrow my relaxed hair past my shoulders and last year I only needed two relaxers instead of the four I normally go for. In closing, I want to show you some love in your feed. This video was informative and I’m definitely gonna pre part and use oil to protect my scalp and strands instead of Vaseline. You and your hair are beautiful sis. Keep up the excellent work! 💜💜💜

I saw another lady twisting her hair too in order to make applying the relaxer easier. I will definitely be doing this too. Thanks for sharing, you hair looks amazing 💕

So happy I just now went back to a relaxer after being natural for 4 years. Loving this technique 😊

Ok..., I have everything ready, I'm going to put a relaxer in my hair today. I've been natural for 2 years, but going through pre menopause and sweating with natural hair is alot to deal with. New sub 🌻

I'd never relax my hair but these videos are so satisfying. Love the results

I love how quickly you get the relaxer in and out. Beautiful results.

Praise the Lord. Hairlicious is blessing us all. Well done 👍 for giving her the credit and well done 👍 yourself. Hallelujah Hallelujah...Amen to me too having blessed long hair like you and Hairlicious

Ima keep it short..hair & skin goals period 🥰😍💃🏽

Genius hack to twist hair first

Thank you for the video! You have taught me some good tips about relaxing my own hair. You used techniques that were different and I'm going to adapt to them; excellent job!

I went natural 2 years ago, but let me tell you my mother used to relax my hair all the time and now I see that she did it wrong 😂. Last time she relaxed my hair I actually lost all my edges.

This was a little less intimidating than Hairlicious so thank you for this....I'm gonna start doing my own relaxers at home to save money!

I’ve ever seen anyone use this sectioning method, it’s genius! Awesome work, beautiful hair! 😁

This makes me want to go apply conditioner to my hair in the same exact way since I’m natural but loved this video 😭😂

Just relaxed after 6 yrs natural!! I've always been good with relaxed hair but I'm more excited this time around learning even more new things to incorporate being relaxed again. Thank you doll...this was VERY helpful and your hair turned out so beautifully 💕!!! # New Subbie Where can I find the bond rebuilder item plse?

What a beautiful,healthy head of hair!!!

Best Ever Ralaxer video i everrrrr Seen.. Am now on the relaxing hair journey .. And seeing this video give me alotttt of info on how to relax your hair in a more professional way plus protecting your edges and ends... thank you alot

Live for these tutorials. I start mine in the front then head to the back , since that’s where it is sensitive. Next torch up I will neutralize my hair like that. Giving it the care ; Tlc that it needs

I love how I’m watching this and don’t have a relaxer

Hi! I went back to relaxing this March and I'm trying to make sure i take ccare of it very well. Thanks for doing this, i used this method on my sis and we noticed very little to no hair fall. Btw, you have a nice facial profile.

Very nice video- I remember getting huge penny sized scabs from my relaxers and man was it bad. I had my first at 4 years old. I’m glad it works for you!

Girl you know ur stuff😃awesome!!!

The braiding method is genius! Thank you for this! #relaxedhairgang

I love the WHOLE process!!! 🥰

I went natural because I was struggling with new growth. It was down my back with relaxer and I cut it since it was so much to manage. It’s like my hair started responding differently to relaxer and started to become damaged. I have 4c so I think if I did this process I would have kept relaxing 💙

The best and easiest technique for self relaxing.

When I was younger. I had relaxed hair. And my hair was always shedding and falling out. And never grew past shoulder length. And years later after going natural its because my mom would relax my hair as if it was a virgin relaxer. Putting the product on the root and shafts of my hair. Not just the new growth. Resulting in over processing my hair and causing it to break off.

Awesome video! I will be perming my hair for the first time and am beyond nervous. I learned so much from this video so I feel a little better. Thanks! Any suggestions for helping with the anxiety??

Wow...I love this video. I enjoyed your editing and commentary, I like your method I plan to use it once I go back to relaxers and your hair is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

So I was relaxed , went natural ( 2 years) , now I want to relax again 😭 LMAO

This is tempting me to go back 😂

Why do stylist not do this in the technique in the salon, this makes so much sense

Thank you Ms.KStikes.... I'm doing a touch up today & I like the braid method!!! Fantastic idea!😄💖🌟💖🌟💖😄

I’m 16 weeks now and chilleee I’m not doing this not more ! I did double what i usually do every 8 weeks ! I can’t even wear my hair in any fashionable styles at this point ! Never again!

I definitely learned some tips. I've been growing out a short cut for a year now

Beautiful thick hair, love it!

Your face reminds me of a merged version of Regine from Living Single and Skye Jackson 😍😍😍

Beautiful head of hair

BRILLIANT 🤩

So easy wish I knew about decades ago probably wouldn’t have gone natural

U certainly did a good job! Oh ur hair still looks so healthy & thick! I love ur hair🥰👏!

Your hair is beautiful and your routine is on point! Great video!

I like your method but with 4c hair, I'm natural now, I have to comb it through! Someone helped with my relaxer touch up once and refused to comb it through and my hair was half way relaxed and I had to lives with it for six-eight weeks until I could touch it up right! When I'm done growing it out and dealing with some more health issues I'm going back to relaxing!

This seems to be helpful. Am going to try it too

Doing my relaxer tonight!!!

What did you use for your bond rebuilder?

I love the fact you have been doing

I “relaxed” my hair at home today for the first time and it didn’t budget 😩 ever so slightly softer but not relaxed at all. I can’t tell what I did wrong. I need to do some research and try again in a few weeks

I'll try this and return with results!

I’m about to relax my wave nouveau permed hair. It’s been six ninth since I got the wave nouveau and I’m ready fir a change. My hair shed like crazy, my hair line vanished. Thankfully it come back now, but it was scary for a minute there. I documented my journey on my RU-vid channel. I would highly not recommend the wave nouveau curly perm.

I REALLY appreciate your videos. Your video was the most informative video I've watched on what I need to know about permed hair than the six I've previously watched. Thank you!

Amazing tutorial.

If you're thinking about it and isn't sure? Heat train first. Its not damaging if its still long and healthy with no holes in the cuticle. You get straight hair, no chemicals and more body

Im glad i discovered your channel

Yes pre sections really helped me speed through my last relaxer.

It’s the pre sections for me

By the time I finish all of this there will be more new growth lol

Great job! I use this method to relax too. Love your hair!

Just being really am tired of my natural hair it breaks and very dissapointing i don't know how people do it cause my hair isn't grateful at all and am so tired

Excellent reading and thank you 💖🙏🕊🌻🌞

I used to get lazy and not section but if you attest how your hair with heat or chunky braids days before it is easier and like you said I can relax my hair is less then 5 mins let it sit for 3 and rinse . Just to soften and stretch but keeps some texture for thickness❤️ it’s worth the extra steps in the long run no pint in growing long relax hair just to have to cut it off from damage we could have prevented

I didn’t know the ors aloe shampoo was a neutralizing shampoo

Sorry! 2 more questions- 1. Did you follow up with a moisturizing/hydrating conditioner after your protein treatment? 2. The bond rebuilder , is that normally done before or after neutralizing shampoo wash is done?

When I was relaxed I used to use conditioner as my barrier.

Had I seen these videos 3 years ago I would have never went natural, my relaxed hair wasn't damaged but I wasn't seeing the length like I use to when past my shoulder which was frustrating.

I have only ever used the no lye formulas. Even with this brand when I was relaxed. My hair always came out really nice though. If I ever decide to go back, I would only use this brand again.

How long do you keep relaxer on your head? Sorry if I missed it

Your hair is beautiful.

Your hair is beautiful...thick luscious hair 😍😍😍

Heyyy. New subbie here🤗 I just did my second relaxer yesterday after a 7 month stretch. I didn't want to go to a a salon cause my first relaxer came out too bone straight and I really wanted to leave more texture. But I was panicking while I was relaxing my hair and I feel like I may not have completely rinsed out all the relaxer. I did about 5 rinses but the shampoo was still kinda pinkish and I ran out of it. Do you think my hair will start fall out? Your response will be really appreciated 😊

Did you put it directly onto the scalp first, because you shouldn't. You usually should apply to the new growth first and and then apply directly to scalp after first application is applied. Looks good tho

Judging from your hair you seem to know what your doing!!!

I will definitely be doing that pre-parting

your hair look so gorgeous

New growth looks healthy. We can see some streched curls.

Thanks for this excellent content.

My hair needs a real er so bad that the previously relaxed hair feels the same as my not relaxed hair

Thanks good information!!!

New subscriber here! this video has been so helpful!

I use a Kroger bag too!

Great video! New Subscriber

Those twist got tangled and washing my relaxer out was a horror movie watching my hair break off from the tangled knots at the ends with wet thin fresh relax hair, 😱😱😱😱😭😭

Hey!! New subscriber right here! 🤎I relaxed my natural hair for the first time in 5 years. I use a no-lye version of ORS Olive oil but I want to change to the lye relaxer version of it. Will it cause breakage if I only apply to the roots??

70 haters i see wit they thumbs down

wait what did you use for the bond rebuilder?? you weren’t specific with what you used, was it the ors hair mayonnaise or something else?😌😌

What Bond rebuilder do you use/recommend?

Your hair is beautiful. Love the improvisation with the conditioner. Thanks for sharing 😊

I love adding an egg to the hair mayo

Thank you for this. Please did you wash your hair with cold or hot water when you wanted to rinse off d relaxer? Like did u wash all through with cold or hot water cox I want to relax my hair myself like you did and I just want to be cleared on that . thank you

BARBIEEEEEE, I just found you! I love you beautiful 💖
