I agree with you. But I would add some more... Never mix relaxer. This will give you chimical cut. Make sure all the properties are the same. Never reapply relaxer on relaxed hair this will damage your hair. Don't wash your hair everyday Don't sleep with wet hair. Do a kind of chronogram. That is what I do on my hair... Every time I wash my hair I do a deep condition but follow those steps Week 1 - hydration - hydration - nourishing Week 2- repeat week 1 Week 3 hydration, hydration, reconstruction Week 4 hydration, hydration and nourishing. If your hair is badly braking take same hydration step out and use more reconstruction. Hydration masks - look for products with glycerin, bepanthen, aloe Vera that give water to your hair. Nourishing - masks with oils and vitamins... Coconut oil, avacado, argan, marrocan oil, olive oil, flaxseed... etc Reconstruction - keratin keratin keratin all the way lol 😂 of curse if your hair is already strong and you apply too much keratin it can break as well. I'm from Brazil this type of treatment is very popular back home. At the moment I don't have any chimical on my hair.... But I have use all types of relaxer and Brazilian blow dry on my hair. It helps as well to 2 weeks before you relax it do a intensive week of deep treatment... So your hair is well prepared to receive a strong chimical. It is less like to break. Chimicaly treat hair need special attention. It is very time consuming and expensive. But totally worth. So I have loads of mask from cheap to expensive... But the brands that do wonders for my hair is L'Oréal professional (intense repair)( curl contour) Kerastase.... I love all the lines but If your hair is badly damaged I recommend kerastase residence it is the best of the best. Joico Avon- kera care Lanza Etc If you are using drogstore masks add liquid bepanthen, oils, glycerin, extra vitamins. Every hair has it own demands, look for what your hair need the most. If you look after, it will be shiner and strong Haaaaa castor oil helps with grow. Omg... I talk to much I hope it helped. Xxx
@@gemruby41 I don't know the name in English... As my first language is Portuguese.... But in Brazil we call cronograma capilar. The treatment involve in 3 steps : hydration, nutrion and reconstruction. So let's say you wash your hair 3 times in a week. So, week 1 Monday - use a deep hydration hair mask. Wednesday use hydration mask. Saturday use a nutrion mask. Next week use the same process. Third week instead of use nutrion use reconstruction mask. If you wash your hair one week it's OK as well, as long as each time you wash your hair you use a deep mask. Following the concept of hydration, nutrition and reconstruction. Most of the time chimically hair need more keratin to be strong.. If that is the case do 2 reconstruction treatment one hydration and one nutrition. But don't abuse too much keratin can break and to much oil can leave your hair greasy. Even hydration can leave your week. It's all depend of the level of the damage. Do you know when the hair ends are elastic after a relaxer.... So that is the time people should wash as less possible and use loads of keratin. It is sounds too much but I promise it works... If I show the pictures of my hair before and after you not going to believe. You just need 3 mask or like I said some supplements to make the mask more potent. Haaaa shampoo sulfate free and pH from 4 to 5 is the best.... I hope you understand!! ❤️ 😊 💋
I am now natural after being relaxed over 15 + years. I want to say that it is nothing easier and people tend to believe it is. Your hair requires just as much attention to be healthy. I still must get trims and moisture treatments especially in this hot weather! Your doing great job with maintaining healthy relaxed hair.🙂💇♀️👏👏👏🎯
Hey I am really happy that you will do more videos on various topics. I think as a black woman I really appreciate Your lifestyle. It's more sophiscate and it's rare to find a black women like you, Who do not weare constantly weave too. And I think you older than me, so I can look at you. You are the style of woman I aspire to be.
Ruth Gibson Ruth - you made my day. Thank you so much for your kind words! I’ll be filming a video soon too on how to find your own personal style. I think you’ll enjoy it!
I used xtenso from loreal wc contains ammonia so am facing that problem breakage so I don't no what to do I was thinking of using no lye or lye creams in next four months can u pliz help me
My gosh what a beautiful woman, inside shines out. Beautiful, smart, intriguing voice, outspoken and great personality 😘 Very educational video, Thank you!
Everyone should know their own hair and what it can take. I never do my relaxers too long but my hair does need a regular schedule for when relaxing. If I go too long without relaxing my hair tends to shed. I try to keep to a schedule and that helps me.
@@charlib68 You should use infinity 100 from amazon my hair grew straight away and my hair stopped breaking... its really good try it.🤗🤗🤗and it is also 100 % natural
my hair is relaxed, I've never worn weave. My hair looks like hers in texture and length. I use real shea butter to condition, jamaican black castor oil on my scalp, Coconut oil & olive oil. You can also use tea tree oil, argan rosemary oil. I use Dr.Miracles Super strength deep conditioner with a steam cap and my hair has been flourishing with al these products.
@SolSearching If your hair is non-porous use lighter oils like almond jojoba and avocado oil. Heavier oils like coconut, olive and castor oil are better for scalp nourishment and are also better on porous hair types. Whatever you do , make sure to use a good deep conditioner, prepoo and a leave in conditioner. Relaxed hair needs alot of conditioning to prevent dry, damaged, breaking hair.
It disappoints me that so many “professional” hairstylists keep relaxers on so long and/or over process the hair..... I have resorted to supervising them when relaxing my hair 😏. Too many are getting licenses and care more about styling than scalp health at least in my experiences.
elite3737 I am also shocked at how the neglect the client while the relaxer is on. Don’t you take pride in your work? I’m so fortunate to have such a great stylist...to have found her so early. Thank you so much for watching!!
They care about $$$$$. Get Ya in N out to get the next $ You're just another number. ( I know not all but a LOT !). No1 cares about your hair as much as you.)
YES elite3737! 100% agreed. I use to "police" my stylist and got her trained so well. Then she moved away. I slacked off on the next stylist and that led STRAIGHT TO OVERPROCESSED HAIR! I'm so upset with myself.Dominique - can we borrow Gloria over here in NYC? I promise to send her back! LOL! I am about to embark upon a SERIOUS hair journey. I think I have all the tools. I just need to train my new stylist on EXACTLY how to relax or rather TEXLAX my new growth. Believe me, I had to fight with my last stylist. She keep telling me that my hair was "under processed' and that I was wasting my money...however, my hair was thriving, so I must have been doing something right. And where can I find that indigo luster glo? I need it in my life.Also, ladies try the TGIN honey mask for your deep conditioning. I add a little Jamaican Black Castor oil in the portion I plan on using on wash day. That mask is MAGIC!!!!! Just do as instructed...only need 15 minutes with heat or 30minutes w/o heat. Trust me, you will love it! Also, very important after relaxers I find is to get a protein treatment...if you're overly sensitive, then a "light" one, but it's somewhat imperative. Just to replace what the relaxer has removed BUT ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS follow up with a moisturizer or you will pay dearly. I did in a MAJOR way. Protein overload is the absolute worst! Unless it happens to you, you cannot imagine the instant damage. Wishing you a happy, healthy, hair day! xoxox
I would love to have a relaxed girl like you on my salon chair. Your hair looks so healthy and gorgeous! ! It bothers me when I hear you can't have healthy relaxed hair.
Omg I LOVE YOU! sorry to be honest but I really enjoyed listening and watching this video. You sound really professional and composed as well as knowledgeable. I love that you are not overdoing it like sooo many teens and kids try to on RU-vid Good for you. Keep up the great work. I’m subscribing.
Rising Vibrations Thank you sooo much! Yeah - I’m not like the kids and teens at all...because I’m about 100 yrs old. Lol! Thanks for watching and your kind comments made my day! xoxoxo
@@StyleDomination LoL! I didn't mean to compare you to teens and or kids. Sorry my mother tongue is French lol. What I meant to say is that regardless of age... Most the videos on youtube, people try to Jared and tend to overdo it a tad, so they end up sounding corny and immature. We are probably around the same age so yes about 100 years old over here as well. I'm trying to improve my English accent and I'd love the sound of yours even though I can't quiet place it. Anyways thanks for all those lovely videos, but mostly thank you for replying.
Loved tips video. I would also like to add that I relax my hair with a children’s no lye relaxer which I do approximately two to three months apart and use eggs, Greek yogurt and olive oil for deep conditioning. 👍🏽💪🏾🇬🇧
Just found your channel. I have the same length hair you have but I have no idea how to care for my hair without going to a salon. You’re very inspiring and I think I’m going to start following your tips! Thank you so much for all the great info
Awesome tips, I cannot stress that enough people really need to take care of their hair whether it's relaxed or not you want to start off with having a healthy scalp I stress this all the time thank you so much God bless you💜🙏
You are incredibly beautiful and so well put together. Thank you for this video. My hair has been falling out uncontrollably. I think I need to see a stylist and deep condition often :)
Hi Dominique, could you do a high end vs affordable hair product video review targeting different hair issues? Can't wait for the fashion videos. Keep up the good work!
@@StyleDomination hi I would like to see more of your favorite products and your favorite protective style s. I'm a new subscriber and found your video professional and informative. Your voice is very soothing.
Thank you, i just premed my hair after being natural for a while, my hair is more silver now, I haven't been to a hair stylist in 10 years, it felt so good. Got a nice cut on top and its long in the back. She cleaned my silver up, i love it. You gave some good tips. And i just started with makeup myself. Bless you and have a wonderful day.
My scalp used to get really tingly a very short time after stylist applied relaxer.... so for my latest retouch (3 days to appointment) I washed my hair, only conditioner and when the the hair was dry I based my scalp with regular aloevera gel from pharmacies. I didn’t feel anything when she applied the relaxer..... actually I lied that it was tingly, it wasn’t because I thought she left it on for long Not sure if it was the mojo from the aloe Vera or what, it didn’t burn at all......
Style Domination base your scalp with Vaseline or oil. Don't start relaxing in the same place on your head. Each time move to a different location that keeps you from over straightning one area. Also a box relaxer is ok...but use a chelating shampoo to get the calcium out or it can build up and make your hair hard. Deep conditioning is a must for at least 30 minutes once a month... Love your style...and yes I'm a cosmetologist
Thank you so much for the wonderful tips. I have had so many bad experiences with stylists, I plan to relax my hair myself. I feel confident that I can do this safely as I have watched many RU-vid tutorials. I will use a mild relaxer and strictly adhere to application time. You are beautiful! I agree with the poster below who stated you look like Natalie Cole☺️ My brother loved her. I am new to your channel and have viewed several of your videos. You are very knowledgable about relaxed hair health.
I'm natural now actually when my hair is relaxed it grown so fast and I need to redo my touch up every 6 months or so. Natural the third time in my life I like the fact that I rediscover my hair every time natural the way my curls grow. But I'm thinking on day to go back relaxed or something closed because my carpal tunal in my hand really make it hard to maintain my hair. Good video.
I love listening to your video presentation because of the way you put your words very soothing and polite, and I just start relaxing my hair again after a while now, I was natural and I was looking for a nice video that will help me to grow my hair healthy and strong. and I think I fond it thank you..
New subscriber ! My hair started growing when I kept my hands out of it! I go get it it washed, blow dried every two weeks. I only wrap it in between. I live in Tennessee so not very expensive, but I clean a house once a week (on the side) to afford it.
I love your videos and I am natural. Both requires effort and work. Folks assume going natural that their hair is going to all of sudden mystically grow lol far from the truth. However, if you take extra care of both relaxed and natural hair your hair will grow. I've been on both sides of the fence, I learned my hair in it's natural state and grew it down my back, but I know for a fact, if I had applied the methods I use on my natural hair, on my once upon a time relaxed hair, my hair would have grown WL just saying... Patience and loving your hair, it will grow.
@TammyAdams528, im 1 of those ppl who thought tht.☝i wz contemplating choppin off mines, in anger, which is above my shoulders (tht HURTS cuz it used 2 be past it), thinkin mayb it'll grow faster if i go natural!! I ddnt cut it tho cuz startin frm scratch is NOT my plan..mayb if i wz like 13 yrs old, bt im not!!!
I absolutely love the wet brush, I just recently got the one that is specifically for heat use during blow drying and it's the best. Im still looking for a good daily moisturizer because I hate the greasy feeling of some. I'm right now using the AG moisture fast food leave in and it could be the one🤞. Great video, I always leave your videos with a little more knowledge. 💜
kalisha jones Oooh! Kalisha! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for that AG product. AG is one of my favourites lines! I ordered the Wet Brush Lemon Drop brush during the Sephora sale. I hope it’s good!
Style Domination I swear by the bb plus primer they have. I'm really interested in trying more from this brand. Btw starting today thru the 22nd Ulta is doing buy one get one half off on AG. 💜
Hi Dominique! I came across your channel randomly a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked since. I love how articulate, feminine and mature you are (which is very rare to find these days), so I decided to suscribe to your channel! I'm looking forward to getting more advice from you, as I struggle to grow my relaxed hair, and eventually get some great tips on fashion and makeup. Keep up the good work!
Hi Christine, First time coming across her videos too and I must say, I'm hooked. Very classy woman, and she give good tips. I just stumbled over her videos and as many videos I watch she is the most impressive. I've watched so many videos and there are so many crazies out there!
You should use infinity 100 from amazon my hair grew straight away and my hair stopped breaking... its really good try it.🤗🤗🤗and it is also 100 % natural
When your use in relaxers, Tip number 1 use Vaseline to base your scalp and edges, second don't directly put the relaxer/perm 1/2 inch away from the scalp. That will 100% help byt the time to wash it will melt down to the scalp. I'M LICENCED.
I have had my natural hair for 2 years but I want to go back to relaxing. What relaxer do you user? I have coarse dry hair. I like your personality. Thanks for the video.
Barbara Larkins Hi Barbara! It’s that Indigo moisturizer that Gloria gave me! Makes your hair so shiny and ultra soft. I used a barrel curling iron just on the front of the hair to create waves and ensured to keep the heat of my ends. Glad you like it - thank you!
I am so happy i found your channel i am now using the joico products thanks to you. They are everything you say there are all the high end products are worth every dime. My hair is doing so well since I started following your tips thanks so much i appreciate all your tips you have a new subby thanks again
I didn't really care much for hair masques/deep conditioners until last week. And the slip!!! My hair really loved it, and yes, I truly admire your hair, and the way you pamper yourself. When I am lazy to go that extra mile in self-care, I say to myself, how will you look like Dominique?😂😂😂 And, there I go planking, juicing, and all😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I just relaxed my hair after 4yrs of being natural, it's been 8 weeks since I retouched and I noticed my hair breaks at the root, I do prepoo, condition and deep condition every week and recently did protein treatment but it still breaks and dont know what am doing wrong and also my hair is low porosity too.....listening to you is so comforting really needs your advices thx
Great tips!! I will try to add it to my hair routine. Thank God I'm learning how to take good care of my hair now. Your channel is really helping me with this! I also would love to find thoses products here in Brazil, I mean I can find them but it's way too expensive, more than it should be, especially those with extra moisturizing formulas. :( you look gorgeous as always, loved the way you styled your hair 😚
Your hair is really beautiful ! I noticed that my hair will go throught more breakage when I stretch for too long. Plus my hair is very thicke so i will have to use a stronger relaxer. kisses from france
Hi Amanda! My hair is the same. Doesn't like to be stretched for too long. The Indigo moisturizer is really helping with dryness and I will try stretching for a little longer now that I'm using that ultra-hydrating product. Thanks so much - I love France! Paris stole my heart!
Hi like your video...i just got relaxer after having natural hair for 4 years. My hair started shedding right after the relaxer at the beauty salon. On the top only. Thank you
Can you make a video about how to find a good stylist for relaxers? I use the Olive Oil box kit at home but I tend to over process and not just get my new growth. I want to find a stylist but I have no idea how to find one and how to make sure they are not going to damage my hair!
Hi I'm new to the tub world . And you had answer alot of my question just by watching your video .. except for 2 or 3 questions one of them is how often should I do scalp treatments on my hair ?? An how often should I deep condition my hair ?
Hi girl what’s your opinion on do saw-in with relaxed hair does it sounds healthy for you is it a protective hair style does it help the hair or it cause damage
My relaxed hair just isnt growing so ive been trying some natural hair growth regiments like fenugreek water, home made clove/rosemary/thyme oil. Would you recommend them for relaxed hair.
I relax my hair WAAAAY to often, but I know my issue is heat damage! I use mild relaxers and never leave them on long, which means my hair isn’t flat. To combat that, I use a straightening iron and break/burn my hair! Grrr! Btw, I have one of those wet/dry brushes and they’re awesome!
I comb my hair with a wide-tooth comb *while* rinsing out the deep conditioner in the shower. The conditioner I use is an excellent detangler and the comb just slides through!
Best products to strengthen relaxed hair? I was natural for six years. Now that I’ve relaxed it’s falling out like crazy. Thank God it isn’t breaking at the roots, but when I wash it clumps and clumps of hair are coming out. I get it trimmed every six weeks. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I can’t reverse this and will have to big chop hair that grew pass my shoulders. I was relaxing every six weeks, but maybe I’ll take your advice and do it every 10-12. But what else can be done? It’s weak and when it was natural it was incredibly strong and long and thriving. I just got tired of the insane maintenance. Please help. I’ll also send this in a dm to your Instagram. Thank you for your help in advance
Aubrey Denson Hi Aubrey!!! Oh no!! I’m so sorry. Yes - relaxing every six weeks is way too much glad you extended that. Are you relaxing by yourself? Do you go to a stylist? And can you tell me a little more about your routine and the products you’re using? Are you deep conditioning, moisturizing and sealing?
I used xtenso from loreal wc contains ammonia so am facing the same problem breakage so I was planing to use no lye or lye creams after four months can u pliz help me
My hair i not realaxed an I don’t think to realax my hair but I found you beautiful cuz that I come in and watch this video ( excuse my English I’m from Chad 🇹🇩💙💙💙)
I relaxed my hair last year after 5 years of being natural. It's severely over processed with the middle partially gone I was told to cut it but it'll be so short what do recommend? Thank you
Beautiful jewel Oh jeez. I’m so sorry! Can you tell me how short the middle is? I would probably trim the whole head and give your hair a rest from the relaxers. Focus heavily on deep conditioning and daily moisturizing. Maybe try Olaplex No. 3...
@@StyleDomination it's almost gone good news is a patch of new hair but I'll almost have a boy cut vs a pixie cut it happened due to stress as well . Was told to get some vitamins as well but I'll take your advice about the deep conditioning as well.
Love this...very informative but my problem is my hair really looks rough at the mid shaft to the ends as compared to the roots and whenever im having a deep conditioner some strands gets smooth and kinda wavy but other sets of strands are just rough looking
I don't think so because if it is underprocessed wouldn't it have been reverted to wavy when it gets into contact with moisture? Im starting to think its hear damage ...if u think so too how can I repair it please. Thank you
