I have been Natural all my life (24 years), and I always wondered what it would be like to relax my hair, but was scared because of all the horror stories I have heard and seen in real life. Then I came in contact with your videos. The best thing I ever did. An hour ago I self relaxed my hair incorporating all your tips and my hair turned out soooo good. I am so glad I have your videos to join me on this new hair journey. Thank you so ooo very much. I appreciate you ❤❤❤
i’m getting relaxed in less than a week! i’m so excited 😊 thank you for ur comment cuz i’ve been condemning myself for wanting to transition. regardless hair is beautiful and this journey is freeing when taken care of
I just find it super weird that other people are faulting you for things you've influenced us to buy. It comes along with it. We have to learn how to read our own product labels. That's the only way someone could feel some type of way... Loving the come back by the way. I'm always just excited to see you ❤ Cancel culture is lame. I appreciate your opinion and suggestions on products that work for you. Thanks Val ❤
I love you so much. Your the reason I was able to grow My relaxed hair 10+ years ago. You made me realize it was a possibility and you helped me build my regimen and successfully grow my hair. Now I’m natural and I still enjoy your videos. Thank you !
Good to see you back!!! Last year, I got rid of a lot of products that had harmful chemicals in them. That can cause cancer, and it wasn't good for our scalp or our hair. And I believe that's why a lot of women hair becomes damaged because of these harmful chemicals that are in these products, especially ours.. Thank you ever so kindly, I can't wait to see the second part of this video. You look wonderful. God bless you ❤😊
Many thanks...great video. FYI, ORS has reformulated the creamy aloe shampoo and removed the formaldehyde (so dmdm hydantoin is no longer on the ingredients list). It's called ORS Olive Oil Deep Cleansing Creamy Aloe Shampoo. I only found it in a shop last month saw I wonder if was launched just recently?
@HairliciousInc that's interesting. It must be a very new launch then. Just another FYI, I've also found the reformulated accompanying conditioner with no formaldehyde. It's called ORS Olive Oil Strengthen & Restore (the old one was 'Strengthen & Nourish') Replenishing Conditioner infused with Sweet Orange Oil 💕
I purchased the As I am Moisturizer. It reminds me of the discontinued Neutrogena Silk Touch leave-in I use to love back in the day 😂 I love it! You give the beat recommendations, I love it hereeeee ❤
Just started my relaxed hair journey yesterday 😊 I’m excited. I know a lot of people suggest going to a professional to get it done but unfortunately I don’t have that luxury so I had to do it myself. I’m in need of a trim badly so I will go get that done professionally, I used the mizani butter blends normal relaxer since I wasn’t able to get my hands on the affirm sensitive scalp relaxer on such short notice(had a date later that day with the hubby) I used the matching ph balancing conditioner and nutralizing shampoo bath. Then I used the kera care shampoo and conditioner you suggested along with the hair mayonnaise and tgin deep conditioner mixed with olive oil. Hair felt so soft and strong. For styling I used mizani 25 Miracle Milk leave in spray, Carol’s Daughter Goddess Strength leave-in and the mizani heat protectant. I blow dried my hair on low heat and that’s was it. My hair feels amazing and I can’t wait for my touch up😊😊
@@NatrualCoils wow! Look at you turning into a whole stylist?!🥰 Loving that for you. Sounds like you did your research and gave your hair the best TLC. Congrats on self relaxing and for starting your relaxed hair journey💕🫶🏾 You got this!!
@@HairliciousInc Thank you ☺️ I did do my research for months and months, I’ve watched and re-watched your videos and other professional stylists to get a better understanding and what kind of products I would need initially. I’m looking forward to find the best products for my hair and my relaxed journey too 😊😊
Glad to see you back. You may want to have another look at your trusted S Curl no drip moisturizer. I recently bought it again and I no longer see the formaldehyde( DMDM hydantoin) in the ingredient list.
So great to see a new video. Like you I went through all of my products and threw out a ton that contained formaldehyde. It was such a loss. Thank you for sharing your new finds. The hair journey continues… healthier. Stay well🎉
My hair products have stayed pretty much the same for the last 5 years, the Joico Kpak Reconstructor and Hydrator for strength, Joico moisture recovery shampoo and conditioner for maintenance. Daily or as needed moisturizers are As I am moisturizer and Aunt Jackie's Quench moisturizer with Design Essentials moisture mask and Mizani Moisturefuse on washdays without and with protein respectively. I do not use the Keracare Humecto very often as I find the slip is not where I need it to be. My protein treatments after my twice a year relaxers are an oldy but goody, Dudley's DRC 28 which I had to scour the internet to find and only have one last bottle:(, as well as Olaplex No.2 and No. 3 to maintain my bonds after relaxer. My leave ins are Joico Kpac foam, and Aunt Jackie's Quench leave-in. Depending on how my hair feels and what it needs these staples deliver for me and we are peeping at waist length.
The formaldehyde releasing products pose a risk when HEAT is used upon application of the products (dont worry too much‼️).They are not harmful without heat. They are used in hair care as a binding agent to the hair shaft. I did enjoy your video, and I will purchase your recommendations 😊
I don't use a lot of drug store products or anything that was on your list to replace, but I absolutely love the ors replenishing conditioner. Hearing about that one not being the best kinda hurts my heart, lol. It's been a while since I've purchased it, but it has always been a part of my hair journey. I hope we get to see you more regularly. 💜
Welcome back. I have a lot of these products that you mentioned. The Scurl seems to be used by just about all relaxed ladies on you tube to aid in stretching their relaxers. Wow! I guess I will definitely pay attention to products that say "all natural" from now on. Thanks for your pearls of wisdom. I value you and appreciate everything you do for us relaxed girls.
@@adelinad8220 there are alternatives out there and that’s what I chose to explore. If they remove that ingredient, I may return to it. Thanks for watching💕
Okay, correction to my previous statements. The DMDM hydantoin was not mentioned as a common name. It is supposedly an anti microbial formaldehyde to help preserve products. My apologies
Hi Val, if im not mistaken I believe when I recently read the Lusters no drip activator the product DMDM was deleted. Do you know anything about that? Thanks a lot.
Hi Val! Great to see you're back. I relaxed my hair after about 10 years natural 3 months ago. Regarding S Curl, the bottle I bought no longer says DMDM Hydantoin is in it. Wondering if they took it out. Thank you for your tips! They've been super helpful as I get back on the relaxer train.💖
Hey Val. Your face looks flawless! Beautiful. I'm looking for a new relaxer. Think I'm gonna try Affirm, but I'm on the fence between that and Mizani Butter Blends. What do you think of Mizani?
Welcome back Val!! Thank you for doing this video. I use to use ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo once a month, but I started to used my neutralizing shampoo, because my hair felt better. Knowing this information now makes me feel even better that I made the right choice.
So good to see you again!😃 I use the olive oil shampoo, but mine doesn't have dmdm listed. It's the 'deep cleansing' one. I only use that one to clarify my hair. And I think I'm gonna stop using the aphogee 2min and just stick with the ors hair mayo for protein. I LOVE the Taliah Wajiid leave in!! That's really good stuff. I still use the As I am, too. Thanks for the new recommendations...I may have to check them out.
The ORS Deep cleansing creamy aloe shampoo doesn't have DMDM Hydantoin in the ingredients. I guess they knew it wasn't necessary. I didn't see it in the Luster's no drip as well. Once you confirm that it's not an ingredient anymore could you please confirm with us your subscriber's, thank you for all you do.
Hi MIss Hairlicious! Thanks for the hair product update, Affirm products is still in my haircare regimen. I even was up on amazon raving under the reviews about them! I follow you on amazon as well. I had my eyes on those KC products you just started using, so now i'm convinced to go ahead and try them! Cause when you say a product good, I believe you! Other than the old staple of my keracare/affirm products, I use theorie shampoos and conditioner, love their ingredients as well. Thanks again...
Welcome back beauty.. My hair is shedding sooo baad since last year. I relax my hair and I try everything(blk tea rince, no long streching..) and my blood test is good Really need some help
My hair went through this phase last year. I bought a product called Chebe. I put it in a leave in conditioner and add one teaspoon of oil. I twist my hair with it. My hair has stopped breaking. You can also try ayurvedic herbs. My favourite is hibiscus leaf powder and hibiscus flower. I mix with a conditioner and add my favourite oils. Put a plastic cap overnight. Stopped my shedding.
Great video! I think a great follow-up video would be how to read hair product labels to uncover if indeed it incorporates formaldehyde. The actual word, formaldehyde, is typically not worded as such which I feel the hair manufacturer is playing the game of "trickery". It would be nice for you to do a video explaining all of the possible names formaldehyde could be used in hair products. ❤
Hii, I think she already has a video about that on her channel. There's a particular video about this ingredient, though, and I believe she went more in-depth.
@@tancam1231 thanks for watching hun. I mentioned the ingredients in the video I referenced in the description box. Check that out and it will make more sense ☺️💕
I started using more professional products, some olaplex, kenra leave in, keracare and affirm. Phased out my scurl, aussie and mane choice products. Use the olaplex and kenra oils for daily use.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I need to be more aware of the ingredients in the hair products. Absolutely love keracare. Looking forward to part 2 👍👍
Ive been so curious as to when to use keratin treatments, i.e during relaxer days or when the hair feels brittle etc, id love to know! love ur videos btw!❤❤
So glad you are talking about the Keracare leave in conditioner. It’s literally one of the best products I have ever used 😫 Would have to try the shampoo and conditioner from that line
Omg, Val😮😮😮 Thank you so much for sharing this video. For some reason I wasn't subscribed to your channel anymore and just now you popped up on my feed and I clicked so fast and resubscribed.. Ok so all this information you just gave ❤❤❤ Thank you so much because everything you showed I was using, but as of tomorrow, I will be looking for all the alternatives you mentioned. Again, Thank you so much and I can't wait for part 2
Picked up the kercare leave in conditioner and the moisturizing shampoo. Love them both especially the leave in conditioner, it always leave my hair so soft and smooth. Thank you for the suggestion.
soooo glad you’re back!💕 has your recommendation for the conditioner you use to deep condition on dry hair changed? I believe you used Aussie in the video from like 2 years ago. i love that dry hair method and need a good conditioner lol
Thank you for doing this video! Missed your content but back with a bang!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 will you do a castor oil challenge in the coming months? I recently went back natural and have to revamp my routine and products but would love to do a castor oil challenge. Looking forward to seeing you!
My hairs relaxed and I had created a good routine watching your videos a while back and it got really thick and healthy and I started retaining length. I started to get heat Halley and then fell off my routine after a stressful move so we’re back starting again. I wanted to ask how often should I do a protein conditioner?
@@HairliciousInc it's been 2 years...hardest part was letting someone else be responsible for doing my hair after being self-sufficient for so long. Now it's a lovely treat - if I ever take them out I'm going back to team relaxer.
Hello, I want to be a long time subscriber and I have a question based on the deep conditioning on relaxer day today. I recently was giving the ORS olive oil professional replenishment conditioner and in one or more of your videos you stated that you have used this as a deep conditioner on relaxer day. Do you keep it in for 25 minutes under the dryer? Do you mix it with oils on relaxer day?
I reviewed a reading from UNC(University of North Carolina) called formaldehyde fact sheet and it gives you the common names for this chemical. None of those ingredients are on the back of the Luster S-Curl. I’m confused. I am really asking for clarification and for you to say which ingredient is formaldehyde? I’m not being confrontational but really want to know. I truly like you and I hope this information isn’t misleading. Thanks
So glad you did this video you put me onto the s curl and it was amazing for my new girl when I am stretching my relaxers when I recently saw your video about the formaldehyde in it I was so sad so I’m definitely going to try the new product recommendations. TFS
Have you used the tymo straightener ..I used it on my hair once and my hair was silky. I liked it but was scared of my hair getting damaged from the temp on the comb
1) Are you using the Rev-Air? 2)is there a VEGAN Product similar to Infusion 23? 3)Are there products that work best on high humidity days? 4)Do you use Protecto by Affirm?
Welcome Back Val❤❤❤ Now, I'm here reading all the comments and like a lot of people that Scurl was my staple to stretch my relaxer😢😢😢, but I'm definitely trying one of the new products you mentioned....i noticed something some people have found reformulations of Ors shampoo and conditioner...can you please check that out for us and do a follow-up video please and thank you ❤
This was a great video. Would you be able to make an updated video on protein inclusive and protein free shampoos, conditioners, and treatments/masks/deep conditioners? It’s so hard to tell these days. Thank you ❤😊
Well I at least appreciate the fact that you are telling us what you don’t use anymore because many of us, myself included were purchasing things, and using things just based on your experience and your recommendation so I do think it’s fair that you share the new things you found that’s great we love that and then let us know what you have stopped using with the understanding that it’s not necessarily cancer causing, but that it has some not so great ingredients, and just that you don’t use it anymore is good and we will understand. Thank you🙏🏾
Hey love your videos ❤ do you have Canadian links for your products? It always brings me to the American site, and Canadian Amazon never seems to have it or good deals 😢
I love using Avlon Affirm Positive Link conditioner to deep condition not just for relaxer day, nothing I’ve used has kept my hair from shedding so much and just easier to maintain and detangles good, I do use a light protein before because the formula seems to be more of a moisturizing conditioner when it did have proteins in it before which is a bummer because it had that perfect protein/moisture balance and Avlon messed around and took all the protein out 🙄🤣
Where do you get the s curl free flow instant moisturizer? Because they don’t sell it on Amazon Canada and when I looked at Amazon in the US, it states that it’s $52 delivery charge to Canada.
I big chopped Oct 2018 and I’m back binge watching your videos because I’m prepared to make a comeback on my relaxer hair journey! I feel so equipped, thank you🙏🏾🥰
Great video, thank you! I miss the good ol hair blogs and Hairlista 😢 can you post the links to any of the articles you read - I googled but can’t find anything?

Are you not using the Aussie miracle moist shampoo as a clarifying shampoo anymore?
Thanks for sharing. When using the Infusion K Anti Breakout treatment, do you follow up with a moisturizing conditioner?
Yes I do! Thanks so much for watching💕
Locked now - but I'll never forget where I started, Castor oil challenges and all! commenting to support - Glad you're still going xoxo
Awww I appreciate your loyalty and support hun💕How’s your loc journey going?
@@HairliciousInc it's been 2 years...hardest part was letting someone else be responsible for doing my hair after being self-sufficient for so long. Now it's a lovely treat - if I ever take them out I'm going back to team relaxer.
Hello,
I want to be a long time subscriber and I have a question based on the deep conditioning on relaxer day today. I recently was giving the ORS olive oil professional replenishment conditioner and in one or more of your videos you stated that you have used this as a deep conditioner on relaxer day.
Do you keep it in for 25 minutes under the dryer?
Do you mix it with oils on relaxer day?
Heya.. on relaxer day, what protein treatment do you use or recommend? Thank you
I like to use my affirm positive link conditioner and my joico moisture recovery balm (tad bit of protein in it).
Hey, do you still use silk element cholesterol deep conditioner
Thanks so much Val 🌻. Great information as usual 🌷🌷🌷
@@s6352 thank you so much for watching🥰
@hairlicious do you still use your same relaxer or have you changed to something new because of what has been said about relaxers as well?
Awwwwwww thanks for sharing sweetheart, great products shared and will give it a try soon ❤
I reviewed a reading from UNC(University of North Carolina) called formaldehyde fact sheet and it gives you the common names for this chemical. None of those ingredients are on the back of the Luster S-Curl. I’m confused. I am really asking for clarification and for you to say which ingredient is formaldehyde? I’m not being confrontational but really want to know. I truly like you and I hope this information isn’t misleading. Thanks
Great to see you again!
Have you changed the relaxer you use?
So glad you did this video you put me onto the s curl
and it was amazing for my new girl when I am stretching my relaxers when I recently saw your video about the formaldehyde in it I was so sad so I’m definitely going to try the new product recommendations. TFS
Good to see you Val. We miss you❤ Great video as always.
Aww missed you guys!!🥰 oh and thanks for watching!
How about the mielle products are they safe to use
So happy you back
Thank You!! Love Your Recommendations and Videos ♥️👏🏽.. Can you please share your current sealing oil(s) ??
Can you do a video about cloves and the other tea rinses in vogue please. Are they beneficial for hair growth?
Have you used the tymo straightener ..I used it on my hair once and my hair was silky. I liked it but was scared of my hair getting damaged from the temp on the comb
I used those ORS and Aphogee on my now natural and relaxed hair.. wow
1) Are you using the Rev-Air?
2)is there a VEGAN Product similar to Infusion 23?
3)Are there products that work best on high humidity days?
4)Do you use Protecto by Affirm?
Welcome Back Val❤❤❤
Now, I'm here reading all the comments and like a lot of people that Scurl was my staple to stretch my relaxer😢😢😢, but I'm definitely trying one of the new products you mentioned....i noticed something some people have found reformulations of Ors shampoo and conditioner...can you please check that out for us and do a follow-up video please and thank you ❤
You have been missed Val. Hope you have been well ❤
@@arewahaircaretv8718 missed my UA-cam fam! Just been enjoying life offline for a bit🥰 Happy to be back though!!
@@HairliciousInc we will always be here when you’re ready to come back 😘❤️
This was a great video. Would you be able to make an updated video on protein inclusive and protein free shampoos, conditioners, and treatments/masks/deep conditioners? It’s so hard to tell these days. Thank you ❤😊
Yessssss, a new video 🙌😘❤️
Well I at least appreciate the fact that you are telling us what you don’t use anymore because many of us, myself included were purchasing things, and using things just based on your experience and your recommendation so I do think it’s fair that you share the new things you found that’s great we love that and then let us know what you have stopped using with the understanding that it’s not necessarily cancer causing, but that it has some not so great ingredients, and just that you don’t use it anymore is good and we will understand. Thank you🙏🏾
Thank you for the update. I didn't see a link to the new Keracare product.
Yup, is there in the description 😊Thanks for watching.
Do you have a cheaper alternative for Keratin Anti-Breakage Conditioner??
Affirm 5 in 1 reconstructor, joico k pak reconstructor, Shea moisture JBCO hair masque or ORS hair mayo💕
How often are you using the protein treatment?
You've been missed girl!!
Thank you Val for Share ,Very Happy to see You
Great video... Im gonna take the scurl back I just bought..
Hey love your videos ❤ do you have Canadian links for your products? It always brings me to the American site, and Canadian Amazon never seems to have it or good deals 😢
Working on it!🥰🫶🏾
Hey Val! Thanks for the video!!
We need a relaxer update!❤
Indeed. Coming soon!
The KeraCare Curl Essence shampoo and conditioner is all that I use! ❤
Val the real OG!
I love using Avlon Affirm Positive Link conditioner to deep condition not just for relaxer day, nothing I’ve used has kept my hair from shedding so much and just easier to maintain and detangles good, I do use a light protein before because the formula seems to be more of a moisturizing conditioner when it did have proteins in it before which is a bummer because it had that perfect protein/moisture balance and Avlon messed around and took all the protein out 🙄🤣
Where do you get the s curl free flow instant moisturizer? Because they don’t sell it on Amazon Canada and when I looked at Amazon in the US, it states that it’s $52 delivery charge to Canada.
You back..we miss you🫂
@@Candy55198 missed you guys🫶🏾💕
Your makeup is gorgeous please do an updated makeup routine❤
I big chopped Oct 2018 and I’m back binge watching your videos because I’m prepared to make a comeback on my relaxer hair journey! I feel so equipped, thank you🙏🏾🥰
Yesss!! Wish you all the best on your relaxed hair journey hun. Healthy relaxed hair is possible💁🏾♀️💕🫶🏾 So glad my content has been helpful!!
Great video, thank you!
I miss the good ol hair blogs and Hairlista 😢 can you post the links to any of the articles you read - I googled but can’t find anything?
Do you still use hydrating shampoo after your protein treatment?
Yes, I still do!
@@HairliciousInc Thank you. I wanted to be sure I wasn't washing away protein treatments that are not apogee
I though you quit UA-cam. Glad you are back girl ❤
No not at all. Just took a lil unintentional break🥰
I was doing the deep conditioner and end up with protein overload and my hair started breaking badly.😊
Just did it two day ago! So mad!!
This was such an excellent video i will be replacing my products once i use them up
@@IAmPhasion thanks for watching hun. Always do what works for you!
Hello beautiful I love your channel. I have a question where did you find your white cubical stand behind you??
Hey hun! I grabbed mine from IKEA. It’s called the Kallax shelf. I’ll put the link in the description box😉 thank you for the love!!
You look good! Better than ever imo.
