Im a licensed cosmetologist and you did a great job relaxing your hair. You were mindful of application timing, replenished your hair bonds with the keratin treatment and picked excellent products to prep your blow dry with. You have beautiful hair. And I've had clients literally in tears because their hair was kinky coily that sometimes they couldn't even get a comb through it. So ill never knock a relaxer. Have you ever heard of a texture release? Instead of chemical its an amino conditioner straightening system. I love the one by Avalon... Great job luv ✨
From my understanding, a texture release system is a very mild relaxer. Same chemicals with a different ratio which leads to a unique formaltion. At this is according to Jean Madeline Aveda Institute, I inquired about this particular service.
Your hair is gorgeous!! I don't think people realize how long the hair actually takes to process and they assume as soon as you put the relaxer on It's automatically making the hair straight when in actuality that's not the case especially if you have a more course texture. I don't self relax anymore, but when I did, I stopped using timers and took my time relaxing because I was always trying to beat the clock, and my hair would get under processed. Great video 💜
Its so tempting to go relaxed. Its easier to have length retention with relaxed hair cause its always stretched. If I had relaxed hair my hair would be at my butt by now instead of midback when fully stretched.
You did a Beautiful job! It’s absolutely gorgeous! But just a quick tip from a licensed cosmetologist. When applying a virgin relaxer to virgin hair, you want to start off in the mid shaft of the hair to the ends, then at the end apply it to the roots. Your roots are going to process faster and the middle shaft will need more time to process. Thats the reason why it was still curly at the end. But you still did awesome! Love it!💞💞
Girl your hair looks gorgeous. Please share tips on how to keep up with relaxed hair (relaxed hair routine). I have been natural like forever and I want to be well prepared for when I enter my new relaxed hair era.
Your hair turned out so beautiful!! Super healthy too😍😍 I’m thinking about doing this soon to keep it manageable! You made that look so easy, I hate dealing with my hair as it it super thick too😫
Side note: Your skin looks so freaking pretty--it's insane. It's like a rich reddish brown...looks like you just left a vacay at high end resort pool. Sooo jealous 💚💚.
I’m finally totally natural after a 2 year transitioning. I’m so ready for a relaxer. I’m going to give it a few more months then I’m getting a relaxer.
Hi there❤ I wanted to relax my hair yesterday but I couldn't as I had to do a shampoo, so I have to wait until the next week-end to be able to relax it. Watching your video was so satisfying as I felt like I was relaxing my own hair 😂😅 I hope that it will help me to wait as I am a "creamy crack" (I relax my hair every 2 months... Gosh...)😭😭😭 Your son is so cute, he gave me baby fever and your beautiful hair seems to be very healthy, nice job, you are doing great. I wish you good luck in your hair journey. Love ❤
You're hair looks great. I think some women are returning back to the relaxer. I am considering it. I was one of those girls who went to the shop every two weeks. But the pandemic changed that and move into a new city, my hair went back to its sticker state because it wasn't being pressed every two weeks. I'm considering going back to the relaxer.
Thank you!! Relaxers aren’t for everyone but they’re for me lol my hair has always been thick! So this definitely makes it more manageable. The pandemic changed a lot, if you think it’s best for you, I would do it!
May I ask why you pulled the relaxer through to the ends of your hair when you were only doing a touch up on the new growth? Are you not concerned about over processed hair on the ends
I wondered about the same thing. When I was relaxed, my beautician would only put product on my new growth. She mentioned using the product on the already relaxed hair would lead to over processing and potentially damage down the line.
I like that the hair has texture. But I think a lye relaxer maybe a little better just be careful with the different textures. (Dermarcation may lead to breakage). Good job apply to the middle shaft first then the ends (since you were going a corrective relaxer) however, I felt like you should of went back applied more to the roots and then smoothed the hair. Just my opinion, it came out great though.
Girl it looks so good. I relaxed my hair last year after being natural for like 15 years. But the breakage was awful and I immediately regretted it. How do you prevent breakage?? It’s also weird how now I have texture after a relaxer versus when I was younger my hair was bone straight. But I like having a lil texture after a relaxer.
Thanks girl!!❤️ I can actually do a video on this. But Moisturizing & Sealing is what does it for me! Find a good moisturizer, and a good hair oil. Whenever I notice my hair breaking, I make sure to keep it moisturized & tucked away! Especially the ends. & making sure to keep my hair tucked away REALLY helps too. Like keeping it in cornrows underneath wigs. & I only wash my hair once a month (I know that sounds disgusting lol but it works for me! The less I handle my hair, the more it grows). Then on wash days, I ALWAYS do a hot oil treatment or deep conditioner. If your hair is breaking, it may need a protein treatment. Your hair may just be a little resistant like mine!! That texture is STUBBORN girl I get it lol
I’m watching this because I plan on relaxing my hair . I learned that the relaxer should only sit for 15 mins , I seen you use a 25 min timer . Just stuck in that area . How long should I take to apply the relaxer and how long should I allow it to sit after I’m done applying the relaxer ?
Did my hair like this turned out exactly like yours and it broke off. I was advised on a corrective relaxer that was so expensive I decided to just go bald. 4 years later my hair is back, people saying it’s healthy just dk . The straight parts need different love then the curly parts it’s hard but I’m excited to see your hair journey.
Hi new subscriber here 😊 my last relaxer was maybe 15 years ago I'm so ready to go back to my relaxed hair. Are there steps to prep dor for a relaxer since its been so long or just go straight to relaxing it as is ? Thank you
Guys remember not to relax your hair more than 3 times a year. Try going for even once or twice. Check the ingredients for endocrine disruptors too and monitor your cycle and hormones.
I got a question. My hair was relaxed before I put texturizer in. The first time I put it on. My hair did not come out curly or textured. I did it again and I saw very little change. The directions told me to leave it in for 8 to 10 mins. (For fine short hair) I wonder what went wrong? Do you think I should have left it on longer?
A texturizer is just a mild relaxer it doesn’t make the hair curly it’s really intended to put on natural curly hair to loosen the curl. If you leave it on too long the hair will become bone straight.
@@judasisco1156 ohhh so it's intended for natural hair. I did give my hair a wave pattern. I'm gonna wait until my new growth grows out more & texturize it again & see what happens
Don’t forget the kitchen , also I usually leave the relaxer on until I feel the first few Burns/stings that’s how you know it’s time to rinse . Btw angel looks like you here !
I relaxed my hair once a year as well got my first relaxer last year so my one year will be tomorrow on the 17 of may . So i was wondering how to go about it. This video explained the steps beautifully. So i will do mine tomorrow and hopefully to get the same results you got. Thanks for posting
Although your hair looks great.. I’m cringing thinking about the long term effects. I was thinking about going back to relaxing but changed my mind after all the current lawsuits about these products causing cancer, after doing my research. I decided I’m not putting this crap in my hair any longer and decided to take better care of my natural hair. Although Ors brand seem harmless there are still chemicals that are carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting substances. Basically with long term use it can def cause cancer. Girl I bought a new flat iron and heat protectant, now after washing and heavy moisturizing I now flat iron my hair to keep it manageable and keep my straight look.. no hairstyle is worth your life..
100% with you on this. I will never go back. It was different back in the day when I didn’t know better. But now I know. And it’s not even just my hair that I’m cautious about. Anything I do with my body is examined the same way.
Totally get and understand your response. You will also have to steer clear of all plastics and most of the off the shelf hygiene & beauty products from shampoo, lotions, perfume to deodorant. oh, the micro plastic/endocrine disruptors are even in your clothes too
🤣 thank you! But girllll it literally would take me an hour JUST to detangle. The thickness is real lol it’s easier to manage, faster to do, & my hair breaks off less with it being relaxed! Relaxed Hair may not be for everyone but it’s definitely for me lol
Oh wow! I looooove the way it turned out! You have amazing relaxed hair. As a relaxed chick myself, I love that you’re representing us lol 😂 I just subscribed 💕Dani @NaturallyRelaxed
It looks extremely healthy. I’m not about natural or permed hair. I think every woman should be in a healthy hair mindset.
Thank you! & yes, Amen! I agree with you :)
Absolutely.
her hair isn’t healthy anymore it is thick tho
I retain length so much better when my hair is relaxed too. Your baby is absolutely adorable 👶🏽✨
Yes!! The girls that’s get it get it lol & thank you❤️
Ikr. I was in a baby voice, saying gimme them cheeks.😂 So cute! My daughter is 8yrs now and I miss her being a baby. Congratulations 😊
@@AliviaMae your so pretty
I retain length better relaxed also. Love the baby❣️❣️❣️ So adorable!

Thank you!! I’ll definitely have to look more into a texture release, I’ve never heard of it!
@@AliviaMae no problem ✨
Texture release? That sounds interesting. Which ones do you recommend
From my understanding, a texture release system is a very mild relaxer. Same chemicals with a different ratio which leads to a unique formaltion. At this is according to Jean Madeline Aveda Institute, I inquired about this particular service.
Can you explain more about texture release? Please and thank you :)
Sorting out your own hair is a huge win and I love that is black women are learning more about how to look after our hair! Good job - great content.x
The thickness 😭🤩 even when straightened. I envy the density omg
Your hair looks so healthy and pretty and that baby is so cute
Thank you!!
I can’t with the cuteness. Your son is so stinking 🥰 cute. Your hair looks healthy, thick and beautiful.
Thank you thank you❤️
I want to go back to relaxers but I also love my curls .

You have such beautiful facial features
Thank you!!😊
oh, your baby is adorable!

I totally feel you on why you relax I’m the same way
It came out looking amazing 🥰❤️👍🏾👏🏾🤗
Thank you! 🤗
It’s so beautiful and so are you.
Your hair girl 👌 love it ❤️❤️
Thanks so much!❤️
Your hair looks amazing!! Can you please list the products that you used?
Instead of using the box I buy the tub and the full size bottles of the shampoo, conditioner etc. makes more sense
Turned out really nice… super thick
I love that you did your own hair the beauty shop cut too much keep up good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉
No breakage? Good on you for keeping up with your channel.
Not too much but thank you!!

Hi your hair came out pretty what kind of flat iron you use n do you use oil on your hair daily please let me know
It’s just a cheap $20 Remington straightener from Walmart. & no I don’t use oil daily. Only a few times a month
Okkkkkkkkk period!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks sis🥰❤️❤️❤️
How did u retain length
Your hair is super thick, and Beautiful, be careful using relaxers now there not good.
No one can completely run from frizz, so your hair was fine in that other shot in the video.
I thought treatment comes before perm not the other was around? Please let me know if it matters?
Did my hair like this turned out exactly like yours and it broke off.

So what are you going to do now?
My hair fell off too when I relaxed my hair but I think it was bv I didn't take care of it
What hairstyles did you do and also how did you maintain new growth?
Your hair is so beautiful
Thank you!!❤️
Wow yo hair girl ❤
Looks great…you favor Bobbi Kristina to me 💕
🦋Right! 🎉 🤩 Sis is Beautiful! 🦋
Yesss she does omg
Perms straighten my hair to venoum death

loved this video
It makes sense.
What about grey hair ? I’m afraid to relax or do keratin, but can’t handle the dryness anymore !
I’m thinking about relaxing mine once a year. I have 4b hair I guess. It’s not coarse. It’s fine. It looks thicker than it really is.
That's all you really have to do too!
@@AliviaMae okay but please give me the truth of how difficult it could possibly be when that demarcation line starts
Lovely❤
Guys remember not to relax your hair more than 3 times a year. Try going for even once or twice. Check the ingredients for endocrine disruptors too and monitor your cycle and hormones.
The front section of my hair is heat damaged due to months of leave out. Can I still get a relaxer but maybe just leave it on for less time?

@christalchanae257 The texturizer will work on the new growth but not the relaxed. The relaxed hair has been permanently straightened.
What’s is the name of the blow dryer used in the video?
Don’t forget the kitchen , also I usually leave the relaxer on until I feel the first few Burns/stings that’s how you know it’s time to rinse .
Btw angel looks like you here !
why is my hair so knotted when water touch’s it when i go to wash it and i have a relaxer
Angel Angel is get so big
Is your naturally that dark or did you dye it 😭
