She has been natural 10 years and now wants a relaxer 

RELAXED HAIR OR NATURAL HAIR IS A PERSONS PREFERENCE!!!💥💥💥

I’m 31 and I’ve never relaxed my hair and don’t ever plan on it, but believe me when I say I am so extremely tired of MY natural hair. I’m tired of having to prepoo, then wash in sections, deep condition in sections, style in sections the wait half a day for my hair to dry. All of that work for hopefully a good style that may or may not last the week. I’m at a place in life where God is getting ready to add more projects and work to my life and the 4 hours on a Saturday used to style my hair is very unappealing. I think I’m ready to go back to heat trained (damaged) hair. I don’t care if it is damaged, natural hair gets damaged too we just don’t see the damage as easily.

I've had a relaxer for 45 years. So far, to God be the Glory I don't have cancer and I go to the doctor every 6 months. I'm 65 years old.

The relaxer client hair turned out pretty as well as the silk press client. The relaxer client still had texture left to hair which is great. Her hair was trimmed nicely. Do what works for you. Side note - When people have an up close look at this type of process, they start scrutinizing everything. But they got the right one with you because you come right back at them. 😁

the young lady with the relaxer has such perfect skin that she looks like a doll. Simply lovely!

I have been using relaxer since I was 14 and now iam 71 never had any problems.😊

Let me start by saying I’m NOT into hair videos but I stumbled upon your videos and I can’t stop watching! 😂😂😂 I’ve been fighting to stay natural because every female in my life convinced me natural was the way to go. I’ve been going back and forth recently with whether or not to relax my hair or stay natural. You’ve helped me decide within 4 hours (2 videos) that it’s ok to prefer relaxed hair over natural especially when all I do is wear it in a protective style. I’m OVER it!! So thanks for helping me decide. You’ve also taught me more about hair in 2 videos than I’ve learned in YEARS about hair!!

Crystal takes her work very serious , the results speaks for itself. 😃

I have been watching you for over a year and you always treat all of your clients with respect, kindness and compassion. You are awesome!

❤ the consistency, endurance, vitality, care, comfort this beautician gives to each client, so much detail, pray her continued health and strength, great structure!!!❤❤❤😊

Preach it, Ms. Crystal!!! There are hazardous chemicals all around us, and in nearly EVERYTHING we touch. The media focuses on what they are paid to focus on. Women have been getting relaxers for decades and we never heard such negative cancer claims until the “natural hair” trend was widely embraced and accepted. So, I couldn’t agree more-people have a right to make personal choices, and they shouldn’t be subjected to the judgement and negativity because of it.

The coiling with the wrap foam looks beautiful. Softens the look. You are so very talented. An artist. 💜

I was natural for 3 years at a time on three separate occasions before giving up. Single strand knots, unrelenting dryness, frizz, hour long detangling sessions, 2 hour styling sessions. When I got my first relaxer again I felt like I had gotten out of JAIL!

I was relaxed pretty much all my life. I had no idea what my natural hair looked liked. Went natural for 4 years and ❤❤❤ my curly hair. Then one day it was just too much with taking care of my mom in her last days so I relaxed it. I wish I hadn’t.

The client that is gettng the wrks done..she looks sooo peaceful..she just smiling like shes at a sps..relaxed..AMEN Crystal

That layered cut you gave her is a work of art. No matter what way you flip it. On point. Where are you at? Omg! I need your talented brain and skills!

Lye! Tell it girl! So proud to find you, you actually teach to the chemical make up of hair and it’s contraindications. Finally a professional who knows about hair period.

That was a stunning transformation. The end product was gorgeous

All your clients left the salon, feeling themselves the relaxer and the silk press transformational!!

When we first started relaxing our hair years ago, we knew to base our scalp heavily with Vaseline before applying the relaxer. Now, people are speeding up the process and many are skipping this important step to help protect the scalp and minimize the amount absorbed into the body.

Miss Crystal, I want to really thank you, because of all the hair videos that I've watched, you are the only one I prefer to watch because you cover and educate on every hair condition for all black women. I sincerely thank you and God bless you, your family and also the new addition 💜❤️💕👏👏👏

The lady is so pretty...with a relaxed style or natural...just gorgeous!!!

Old gray haired white lady here again. Crystal I just can stop watching your videos. You amaze me. You make women feel (and look!) beautiful every day. God bless you girl. You are a Gem. 💎

I have learned a lifetime of hair care just by watching a few minutes. And I went to Ron and Von School of cosmetology. Later on I realize they didn't teach us anything basically. We only learned the sanitizing part and that is what state board passed us on. Which is very very important. It's a lot we we're not taught in school and doing my time we were not using extensions or fake hair❤️❤️ love watching your platform 💞🌹🌹

Your clients have Beautiful Skin!

I almost passed out😢. You did a great job on her hair, natural to relaxed. But I will never go back. Creamy crack and my hair don't get along. Love my kinks and coils. ❤

I luv that u educate an freely share Knowledge of products So Proud U have set freedom to her scalp😂😂😂❤

It what works for you I admire her strength for being mature for 10 years TONIA

I enjoy your business savvy and how you explain things about managing clientele booking and prioritizing picking up your children. (I'm not a hairdresser) but I watch your videos for relaxation

TRUTH SPEAKS EXTREMELY LOUD!!! QUEEN "CRYSTAL"👑🌹💕🙏🏽 PEACE AND LOVE ❤️❤️❤️

WOW! The end result was fabulous! 👏👏👏

I enjoy your videos tremendously! You are extremely knowledgeable and obviously experienced. Your confidence goes a long way in giving your clients trust in your abilities and comfort knowing that you know your craft. They likely appreciate both; it shows. I wish I could hang out with you. You seem fun!

Chrystal even though i am a white women i love watching your videos You are amazing . It is alot of work doing hair and especially black women but you do amazing job on all of them.

@Elite Hair Care USA & Lifestyle . . . I appreciate the time and attention you give your clients, and your concern that their hair is healthy. Many stylists don't.

Thank you for using your hand to smooth her relaxer instead of a thin tooth comb. Alot of women like to comb the relaxer into the hair roots which burns really bad. So thats why I went natural. But I do Flatiron my hair every winter and leave it curly during the hot seasons.

I love you for what you are teaching people.❤

That afro is so pretty crystal

Hey I'm natural and imma stay natural. However I don't care whether someone has locs, relaxed or natural just maintain HEALTHY HAIR. Don't sleep in Crystal's knowledge people!!!

All your clients have beautiful shining hair.🥰

U Have SO MUCH WISDOM &KNOWLEDGE About UR WORK (Hair)🤓💡I LOVE IT👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍🏾 😊

Her nautural hair was beautiful and healthy. Waiting for the outcome.

CORRECTION: No lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) is left in natural soaps because of the chemical reaction (saponification) between the lye and fats. This is why you get soap as the end product. This is the same reaction that occurs when making shampoos; otherwise, no one would be able to use soaps and shampoos if the lye was still present.

Job well done, I can tell U care about the clients hair. Beautiful.

Where are you I need you in my life! There are very few hair dressers in Oregon that deals with our type of hair. And you are so knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your passion.

I love your work. I just happened to run up on your site, and has been watching you every s watching you all that I can. I am a Cosmetologist also. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for being live, and please don't pay those negative people any attention Love your work 🙏🙏

I am a natural and had a perm put in and my hair went into shock and came out! Back to my natural hair!

Hello, I watch your channel a lot. You do such a fantastic job on your clients hair ❤❤❤ I want to say this all in LOVE ❤! Back in the day, salons owners use to have their combs and brushes into a cleaning solution. But, nowadays, you don’t see any combs or brushes in any cleaning solution. And that’s SCARY 😧 I recently had an experience with a salon stylist using nasty combs and the blow dryer combs were filthy. When I left, I stopped by Sally’s got some products and rewashed my hair and never returned back to that salon. With my case, maybe I should have called the health department. So not everyone is as clean as you have been on your channel. We all know that you’re definitely concerned about the health care of each of your clients! Thank you for all that you do ❤❤❤

Crystal you should be very proud of yourself

That gray solution is awesome for coverage!!, excellent!!!!, for a semi-color 👍🏼

I like how she doesn't over trim the hair. Only what is necessary.

I enjoy your channel so much!! I love to learn, and I'm learning so much about my hair through your channel. I've been searching for a PROFESSIONAL, ENCOURAGING, TEACHING hair expert for YEARS, and I believe you're the one. Even though we live in different states, I'm willing to save up to pay to come to you. I'm a natural, so I'll need to know how often I might need to visit you in the first six months to make that happen. I'll send you a private message as well if I haven't received a response within a month. Thx for all the videos. You're a true superstar!😊❤

You’re looking well rested on this beautiful Saturday morning crystal have a great day all day after work god bless

Congratulations on your Pregnancy 🥰

Noticed the right side of clients hair don’t get enough washing out, (by the ear n back of neck), I always goes around to each side to properly wash, just saying

Hey you should worry what Noone said if they were keeping up with you guys will know how cleaned you are right great job keep up the great work thanks for sharing

YESSS UR HAIR AND COLOR IS GORGEOUS 😍😍😍

Here hair is so neat and beautiful.

I don't have a problem with my natural hair, because I understand my hair. And love my hair. As I was younger I was comparing it to straight hair and trying to do what straight does when it wasn't for me, it was a loving journey, and to this day, if I have any issues due to hormones or stress I work through it , just as I would my body. I have learned to embrace my ancestors through my crown and listening to their spirits using THE ALMIGHTY'S POWER!!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH NATURAL HAIR. if one was always natural and everyone around them were natural then there's no real issues. Also I don't see other people self hating and destroying their hair ( generally speaking ) People of other races watch your channel and hang on to certain wording and run with it. Such as the comment about natural hair being a problem.

You made your client look absolutely beautiful! 😉

Her natural hair looked much better and healthier.

I have had the pleasure of watching many videos from Elite Hair Care, but for the first time I was taken aback by these irresponsible comments regarding hair care schedule: Relaxed hair is pretty simple??, whereas with natural hair every day is new day? every problem is a new problem, every treatment is a new treatment?? No. I find something very wrong with these comments. Its blatantly false coming from a professional. I have been happily natural for 15 years and decided I was over relaxed hair that I had for 20 years. NATURAL HAIR is SIMPLE. Now I must admit it was a journey of patience and research in the first few years but after learning my hair it became easy. And guess what? with natural hair the schedule is: clean scalp and hair, hydration and moisture, trims and consistency. THATS IT, VERY SIMPLE. Relaxed hair is complicated, why? scheduling an appointment for chemical applications every 6-8 weeks, possible burns and irritation on scalp and hair loss and a host of other possible health problems. So, I'm going to leave it at that.

That’s a year and some change of growth ??? Gorgeous

Beautiful work!

Congrats on the baby!🥰

The lady with the green top looked amazing.

This was a very relaxing video. ❤

Last clients hair looks so pretty!

At elite 🎉❤ u can always feel real good when u leave there. No matter whatever u get. She is wonderful and make u feel WONDERFUL.😊😅

I am a 63 YO white man with straight salt and pepper hair. I've been thinking about race and hair care because I got my hair cut 10 days ago. The stylist was a young black lady who cut my hair super short (it looks great, is shorter than usual). She didn't hesitate to cut my hair. But not long ago I went into a black barber shop and the barbers wouldn't cut my hair.

Being that her edges already started to thin . Will the perm or relaxer and dye accelerate the hair loss to her edges? She looks . Still natural in some parts . Straight hair and curly hair after washing .maybe that's normal to see after relaxing ?

Hi Crystal, I thought & I was advised that those chemicals should never come in contact with your scalp...but, here I see it being placed, indiscriminately, all through this client's scalp...is this a special relaxer or did you put a protective barrier on her scalp?

I’m a White English woman and watch a lot of videos on black women having their hair done. It fascinates me what they have to go through to have their hair done especially when having it straightened! Your stylists are amazing! 👍♥️

Great styles for the ladies. Great job.

I love your work and techniques. Your knowledge and hair maintenance for clients is exceptional. The fact that you try to save hair that's severely damaged rather than giving a big chop is a blessing to watch.

FRO, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Mended is for real please donot stop. Sale ing this i used yesterday yes please ty crystal

GREAT JOB I LOVE HOW U DONT DO THAT BABY HAIR TING!!! LOL

Hello Crystal, 👋 her hair is gorgeous 😍.

I’m a white lady but I think dark skin and very curly hair is beautiful. I’m envious

A million passes. For the record team whatever floats your boat, I'm natural most of my life. I relaxed during my teens then went natural in my early twenties & I don't find it harder to maintain my hair I find it easier. My 7-year-old daughter is natural too!
