I just starting truly taking care of my relaxed hair as of like 5 months ago. I’ve been relaxed since I was like 11 ( I’m 21) and I’ve learned so much the last few months. The absolute game changer for my hair was moisturizing and sealing every night. I used to brush through my brittle dry no oil broken hair and expect it to grow 😣 I’m still at shoulder length but omg it’s SO thick and healthy. I LOVE your hair and your videos. You are truly beautiful! Can you do a video on the protective style braids that you do? I want to start wearing braids but no idea we’re to start.
I have a few videos up on protective styles I do! This playlist has all my hair videos ru-vid.com/group/PLNyqDKaF3zGM4_ZTIUsrarf_jh2v-yIBq My favorites are the twists ❤️ I how these help!
😳🫣My face when she mentioned about breakage while I actually have my hair in a ponytail! Whewww chileee I needed this “check” in my hair life right now. I mean set me straight! 😅
I just found your channel right when I decided trying to be a straight natural was too much. I relaxed my hair last night! So excited to learn from you
I was just recommended this video, glad I found your channel. I just relaxed my hair 2 weeks ago after being natural for 7 years. I'm learning all over again but it's also exciting to be on a relaxed journey again 🙂 thank your for the tips and you and your hair are beautiful ❤️
Good to see that others are in this boat. I was relaxed then natural for 10 yrs, then loc’d for 2 yrs. Now I’m combing out my locs and want something “easy” with bangs and color.
Ma’am can I tell you???… I’ve been natural for 5 years now going on 6 and I always loved my hair in a Silk Press. I was very good at maintaining my natural hair, but the 5-8hour wash days have gotten me hating my own hair…. I dediced that I wanted to just cut it all off, but maybe I should get my hair relaxed first, just to get that Silk Press feeling one more time before cutting. BUT, thank God I came accross your channel: 1. Your hair is gorgeous and you take such great care of it. 2. I am looking forward to relaxing my hair with all the information from your channel, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU🙏🏽 New Subscriber here👋🏽 If I could, I’d subscribe 1000x more♥️
Omg thank you! I 100% believe everyone should do whatever works for them! Just be 100% sure and if in doubt I always recommend going to a professional if it makes you feel more comfortable. Let me know how it turn out if you do relax it! & ask me any question I respond to everyone here ❤️
I loveeee your cut and how you have it styled in this video 😍! I miss relaxed hair sometimes! My natural hair is hard to straighten and keep straight 😔.
Yeah I'm a heat trained natural and my hair has been breaking from using a Dominican Tubi instead of my scarf or just the pillow. Also being natural I've been heavy handed and I need to relearn to use less product
Moisturizing is very important especially the ends...when doing relaxer.. I would shed...started using Olaplex 3....its working well...alot less shedding.....Shea Moisture Moisturizing is great my hair...I can tell it really help...the scarf frfr...I had stopped and I can cry...hair broke off..so the scarf frfr is a must if you want some hair😂😂😂
I underprocessed my hair on purpose bc I was scared I’d fry it otherwise 😂 I also wasn’t sure if I wanted to fully commit to straight, so atm its got some good kinks in there still
Hi Queen first of all you are so pretty mashaallah , and your hair seems so good and amazing third thank you for this amazing video that I got a lot of information from and you’re also replying to all of the comment of your subscribers which is really nice from you❤ My first question is don’t your hair get dry when you just use oil once a week and don’t use any product with a week I want to do that but my hair is feels dry right after one or two days from washing it. How to maintain that My second question is getting a box of bread made my relax hair really fall out badly even though I took care of it and I love it for a good amount of time and I want to keep my hair protective style but I’m not sure which one is the best so do you recommend me some tips so I could go back to wear a box braid but it actually help me this time And last could you please post a tutorial on how you flat iron your hair because it looks that it has been done professionally May god protect you pretty 💗
Hi! First, try using moisturizing products. I also soak my hair in black castor oil before I wash it which helps with moisture. Second, the braids might be too heavy. I like low tension styles and box braids do tend to have a lot of tension. I would try something lighter like knotless braids or a Marley twist (I have tutorials for both on my channel). I hope that helps! ❤️
Gotta be gentle & take your time! I leave my braids in for 1 month at the most then take them down & redo them. I have a video on my take down process here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AFsm4LaNOmA.html
I was wondering if you could tell me how often you use the products in the description and when ? I’ve gone out & started acquiring all of them . I just need to know when I use them & how often.: I just relaxed yesterday
Hi! & welcome to the dark side 😈 hahaha jk jk so I wash my hair once a weeks so mostly everything gets used once a week. I use the Jamaican black castor oil the night before I wash on my ends and scalp as a type of treatment. & then the dry conditioner & ghost oil spray I use when I feel like I need it. Hope that helps!
Hey Niara thank you so much the video is very informative 🤗🤗i want to start my relaxer journey now officially with atleast much knowledge but for the years i have had relaxer back then i would alwaaaaays have my hair change color to a brownish brick red color and uuuu that just gets to my nerves i just cannot deal with that so i dont know if you can help on what might have the problem to rule it too those years i never took care of my hair i just got relaxers when i needed to get one after 3 or 4 months so now i wanna start this journey again with much needed knowledge not to mess up my beautiful crown, i have been 4 years natural now
I’m not sure about the color changing to be completely honest I’ve never heard of that happening. To fix it maybe look at your products & try to determine when it started changing. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
I saw a comment saying you relax your own hair. I’m new to your channel and after watching this will go to your other videos, but can you go into detail about how you relax your hair at home?
I love your hair so much! I don’t know if it’s me or what but my hair is so dry so brittle I want to relaxer but all my hair fell out 😭. I wanna shave it off but I do not have a face for a bald head. Idk what to do.
Aww I’m sorry that happened. Try going to get a consultation with a professional! Sometimes they are free but they can help direct you with a style/cut. Where are you located?
No not really. The only oil I add to my hair is once a week before I wash letting Jamaican black castor oil sit on my ends & scalp for a day. The weight of the oil makes my hair too greasy.
Do you ever do the baggy method? Also when you went back relaxed, did your stylist comb the relaxer through? I wanna relax mine and I know the stylist is gonna comb it through. I'll try telling her to not do it, but stylists usually hate when you try and "teach" them. I'm so wary of the flat hair but I hope i can nurse it back to health afterwards. My hair is too dense and thick, even for my mom and I to handle alone
I’ve never heard of the baggy method what is that? & I’ve always done my own hair. I never comb but I do smooth with my hands. So I’ll just go through and smooth everything down to make sure I get the relaxer everywhere
@@NiaraAlexis look it up! The baggy method is where you put on your leave in conditioner to, say the ends of your hair or all of your hair, then put a steam cap/plastic bag over it like you're doing a deep treatment. You leave it on for like 10m then remove it and seal in all the moisture with an oil of your choice. Look it up. Another vid can probably explain better than me lol
Shampoo/conditioner matters to an extent. I’ve noticed that using products for CURLY hair to wash your RELAXED hair doesn’t do the job. Maybe it’s just me
Agreed. I think as long as it’s suitable for your hair type, the shampoo cleans without stripping and the conditioner leaves your hair feeling good you should be fine.
