- My relaxer day routine for healthier relaxed hair!
Hey girl, thank you for tuning in! My relaxer day routine is officially here. I’m so excited because this has been highly requested by you guys. In today’s video, I share with you my entire relaxer touch-up process from start to finish. Usually I trim my ends every relaxer with my stylist. I don’t self-trim. I’ve been self relaxing, with the help of my sister, for the past 10 years. In this video I emphasize the importance of protecting and prepping your hair before a relaxer for stronger healthier tresses. I swear by all the methods, products and techniques I share in this video as they have worked well for me and my hair over the years.
So today, I’m demonstrating how to achieve and maintain healthy relaxed hair while relaxing at home. I also share tips for taking care of your relaxed hair to prevent under-processing, over-processing, overlap, relaxer run-off etc. so that your hair can grow long, thick and healthy!
Be sure to share this video with another Relaxed sis!
As always, thanks for watching! Oh, and don't forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE :)

‘You leave viewers feeling confident about making the transition back to relaxers or just staying relaxed!” HONESTLYYYY FACTSSSS
I honestly do not understand the negativity in these comments from NATURALS who say they hate relaxers or are never going back etc!!! Why are you here?!!!! I am natural and I love this video!! I am all about healthy hair period!!! This video was extremely informative and educational for ladies who need this information. This video is targeted to RELAXED ladies who 1. Requested this video!!! 2. Who are thinking of going back to relaxers and want to be EDUCATED on the right way to apply relaxers AND achieve their healthy hair goals!! 3. Who are currently relaxed and would like to apply these tried and true techniques that have CLEARLY worked!!! If you don’t like it move on why watch the video and comment with negativity?!! This has worked for her for 10 YEARS and the results speak VOLUMES!!! If your natural and you’re not going back to relaxers GOOD FOR YOU!!! To each their own, why comment?!!
Hairlicious continue to put out AWESOME content for RELAXED ladies and IGNORE the hate, and negative energy!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, yes and yesss!! Whew, thank youuu!! I appreciate this so much. This as well as all the other amazing comments truly motivate me to continue making content for my audience🙌🏾💕
This comment deserves so many likes 🙌🏾
Right. I’m natural and I don’t on getting a relaxer any time soon but for some reason relaxer videos are kinda satisfying to me😂
Going relaxed today . Done with being natural
@Mel, I don't think of it as hate just a comment. For example, I have and still am natural for 97% of my 57 years, I don't like relaxers for me, but I enjoy watching hair videos such as this one because it is informative and entertaining.
I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I learn a lot from YOU!!! Behind the chair I didn't do too many relaxers, most of my clients were natural. So now that I'm relaxed myself it's like I'm learning all over again lol. You give SPOT ON hair info and tips. Btw, I loveeee your pre-parting twisting method. I'm trying that on my next relaxer day! 🙌🏾
Hi Tierra J, love your videos 💖
@@judywalker2849 heyy Judy, thank you!
For you to say that, it means so much!! Thank youuu🤩💓
TIERRA In the house! Lol both yall make me want to relax
Well maybe you & her both can explain the reason for all the “heat protectants?” You’re relaxed, the bond & hairs integrity is already compromised and being already relaxed minimum heat is needed! You can get these results using a good blowout with a paddle brush like you do in preparation for a silk press.
I love see black women rocking their OWN hair natural or relaxed. 🎉🎉🎉you hair is beautiful 💕
For years my mom overlapped my hair!!! Then one day, I did my own relaxer and out of curiosity READ the instructions and was blown when it specifically said DO NOT OVERLAP. Like our parents really made up their own directions for what lol????
😂😂😂😂Word!! Could you imagine how healthy and long our hair would have been if they followed directions? Our hair was probably breaking off and raggedy just off this one mishap of overlapping causing it to have so many split ends and breaking off.
Hahahahahaahaahahahshshahahahahaha yesssss
Black peoples dont read lol we just do
@@MyiaLaShaun thanks 😂🤣😑!
@@MyiaLaShaun so true
Literally the proper way to do a relaxer. This video needs to go viral. She got me wanting to go back to relaxers.
Thank you so much!!
Yes, natural & long. This would make my hair care much easier. Less time & more manageable.
Me too lol
Me too sis
I don’t know why I’m here since my hair is natural and I don’t plan to ever get a relaxer. But, this is fascinating and your hair very is beautiful.
Me too!!! 😂
Me to 😂😂😂
This makes me wish that I knew how to take care of relaxed hair when I was younger, my mom relaxed me at 8 or 9 years old, and my hair used to be almost thigh length, and it broke off up to my shoulders because we didnt know how to protect the parts of hair that didnt need to be re relaxed, I hate that I ever relaxed my hair, I'm 2 years natural now, and I'm lil bellow bra length, I think I might have hit a limit or something, but my hair hasn't grown much of the last 6 month's, and I've been doing the most for the hair making shure its moisturized, I played ablot with hairstyles, so now I have mini twists for the 3rd week and I'm going to try the more hands off approach maybe that will grow some more length 🙏
Girl you're hair is beautiful, and I'm glad you were able to keep all that length w the relaxer
Me too!
Me too I am Asian and was just curious about the process. That’s a lot of products and a lot of time used up. Wow.
Me natural
Also me: I'm not gone do it girl, I was just thinking about it
Girl ain’t this the truth I just paused the video so I could go look in the mirror so I can say it to my face. You ain’t gonna do it lmbo!!!
@@WithLoveKita 🤣🤣🤣
Girl keep your beautiful natural hair that has elasticity..(health)
Silk press?
Just buy a wig girl.
I did this method today and ordered all the products and my hair came out the best it ever has! The pre-parting and protecting is amazing and my hair is so soft and long! I've been following her for a year and my hair is almost tailbone length and I am 4C. Healthy relaxed hair is absolutely possible!
So happy for you🤩 I appreciate you sharing how your relaxer process went💕💕💕 Glad to hear that my Channel has been helpful to you!!
I’m definitely ordering all this stuff and doing it her way next time. My next relaxers on the 4th of September, so I’m looking forward to seeing the results.😍😍😍
@@Kosykeko you will be hype hahaha 😁
Sounds great!! Enjoy🥰
@@nrjean I don’t doubt it I’ve gotta focus on getting my hair healthy and retaining length. I tried going natural twice and it just wasn’t for me so I’m back after two big chops. My hairs coming up to my neck now but the ends are very split. Sad times😭
Harvard should give this lady a PhD in hair science. A tedtalk is long overdue.
Whew!! Girl, you just made my day🤩 Thank YOU for the love. I appreciate you watching!
You betta' put that into the universe! Amen🙏🏾
Love this comment! ✨
Your sister's a real one for helping you for a decade!
That is a very smart way to do a relaxer. Your method should definitely be shared all over the world. Black women will begin to see how to take care of their hair; and see it grow because of this method.
Thank youuu Daysha!! Couldn’t keep it to myself. Had to share💕
You don’t follow your protein steamer treatment w a conditioner ?
Wow! Just wow South African here! I agree🇿🇦
It's not her method. It's literally in the instructions.
*The best relaxer video ever hands down every relaxed persons should watch this video* 🧡🧡
Wow 🤩 truly appreciate that. Thank you so much❣️
Hi there😊
I so agree with you and I'm a natural who loves watching relaxed hair videos
@@Scorpiehibiscus I have a channel too, visit me sometime 😊
Period!
I’ve been relaxing for 40 years and just learned something new. I will pre-part from here on. Excellent video - audiovisual, lighting, and detailed instructions. Thank you!
🧢
I didn’t know anyone had been relaxing as long as I have. 🤣
So happy to hear this! Thank you very much💕
@@sweetsharie66 I gave myself my first relaxer when I was twelve after one too many ear burns with the hot comb.
@@MarionMarie27 😂👍🏾
Thats it. I'm going back to relaxing my hair. I miss the process and feeling the smooth finish at the end. Her hair looks so good and healthy too. This video is awesome.👌
Thank you, Veronica!! Happy my video inspired you. Enjoy your hair sis💕
@@HairliciousInc yes. You are most definitely inspiring! Thanks for the awesome hair tips!
I just relaxed my hair using the same technique & relaxer products. And I must say thank you for putting such content out here, like my hair feels so amazing and my scalp didn’t burn for the first time since I became relaxed.
Yay!! So happy to hear this!!❤️🥰
@@HairliciousInc Am so doing this technique too but my hair feels too soft even the growth one so amnot sure how long am to leave the relaxer in
This was so “relaxing”. No pun intended. I love your vids.
lol. ditto
Are you sure no pun was intended ?😑😑😂
Thank you!!!
@@rebeccabintu2141 Maybe a little hee hee
It was tho
I wish I knew of these methods when I had relax hair.
Yeah! My hair got so damaged when my mom would overlap on my permed hair. It burned my scalp. If we had took these precautions my hair would be healthy relaxed.
Though, I absolutely love my natural hair now and it's thriving.
Relaxing correctly makes all the difference! I’ve had stylists apply my relaxers from root to tip like conditioner 🤦🏾♀️
@@TheCinderellaPrincess same. That relaxing process as a kid scarred me. I wish videos like this were around when we were kids.😭
If I had known this stuff in highschool...LOL
Me too! Lost so much time and hair
You got this down to a science girl! Your hair is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much!!
Girl I’m pretty sure you just changed my life 😂 no exaggeration. Ready to take my relaxed hair into my own hands. Thank you soooooo much and God Bless! Stay beautiful!
So happy for you, sis! Relaxed hair can grow and be beautiful💕
No seriously! Sometimes if you want something done right you LITERALLY have to do it yourself!
This was never my process while I was at the salons, they just slapped it on and told me to wait till it burned😂😂
But no, I’ve been natural for years and haven’t seen this process in so long, love the time and care that goes in! You look great.
Right?! These “professionals” have no clue what they’re doing and as a result we end up suffering the consequences. Smh. It’s so unfortunate!
But, I appreciate the love and thank youuu for watching💕
Those chemical burns were what got to me.
Nonetheless, thank you for sharing❣️
Lol
Bruh this is the absolute truth. Then you say it burns and they go "uhh.. give it a few more minutes"
My hairdresser used to say "if it's burning, it's working"!! 😂
I'm not even relaxed but I love this technique.
Lol. Thank youuu so much💕
Same here!!!
Co-sign! Been natural for over 15 years... Relaxed or natural. Great haircare and knowledge is just that! Thanks for sharing!!
Same!
Learning this to help my niece on her healthy permed hair regime.
I’m no longer relaxed but this is an amazing technique. If I had done this when I was relaxed, my hair would have thrived instead of the breakage and damaged I experienced. I must say that as a mom, I hope my kids have a relationship like this when they are older.
I just went back to a relaxer because being natural was time consuming and my Twistouts would always come out wrong on my most important days. I have 4 different textures of hair. Wavy, curly, wavy/curly and extremely straight. Each section is a different texture which became too much work. My front right side has no wave or curl pattern at all so I found myself having to retwist (2 strand twist) every 3 days. It did more damage than good for me due to the constant manipulation. I've always relaxed every 4 months so I never experienced breakage, I still had texture and my hair was thick, hanging down my back and beautiful. People used to ask if it was a wig. I said all of that just to say I never knew my friends were relaxing their hair every 6 weeks. I asked them if they were crazy and then explained to them that was the reason their hair was breaking. Too much of anything is bad for us. I see women with natural hair and I be like you go girl you are rocking that style! I just tell myself girl everything isn't for everyone and unfortunately my mixed textures fight against me...lol
Same!!!
I'm 24 years natural, but I'm definitely going back one day to relaxed hair. I *LOVE* videos about the relaxing process! ❤
Wish I had this information back in my teen years! It would have saved me years of heartache! Thank you for sharing this video. It has to be the best tutorial for relaxed hair that I have ever seen!
Thank you SO much. I wish no knew this information years ago too🙌🏾
Very Important that whom ever is helping you to relax your hair make sure that they have good energy, that they want to help you. Whenever some bring negativity towards you and your hair it show in the results. So ladies if your stylist is having a bad day reschedule
Hi, here is my website. www.taransbeauty.com For mom , sister, nieces, and loved ones over the holidays. Tackle for once and all..

This is soooooooo TRUE!!!!
Thats why Granny say dont let anybody play in your head!! 🖤
If you have Jesus, and rebuke things like that you good.
Although I'm natural, it was a joy to watch this. I love when people know how to take care of their hair!
Thank you for the luv💕
2022 this is still one of the best relaxer at home video. Continue to inspire us Val. You say you are not a cosmetologist but you are indeed a relaxed - hair-alogist in my book😊
I’ve just completed this exact routine and let me tell you something, I have never in my 28 years felt my hair this soft!! Thank you so so much for this tutorial!! Relaxing my hair has been the best thing I’ve ever done honestly. I LOVE MY HAIR!!
Love that your loving your hair now sis!! That’s huge‼️🙌🏾
I wanted to like this video so many times during me watching it. I still am baffled as to how your are not at a 1m subs by now. You’ve been such a important content creator for the relaxed hair community. The information you deliver is always clear, pointed, helpful and no gimmicky stuff to waste your time. We’ve seen you grow your hair from short and damage to long and healthy. I followed your hair regimen (San self relaxers, just too lazy for that) and was able to grow my hair from short and damaged to long and healthy. I highly recommend anybody with relaxed hair to follow your relaxed hair regimen, they will not be disappointed with the results (consistency is key) Wishing you success in every area of your life. God bless!
God bless you hun. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your journey and testimony with me. It truly means a lot to me. I’m happy that my tips and videos were helpful in getting you to your hair goals. I appreciate the love and support💕💕
I agree!!!
Same!
Planning on relaxing my hair.
Doing my research prior and this is the best video I've seen so far.
Thank youuu 💕
You got me mad at all my prior stylists who overlapped and didn’t protect my already relaxed hair, because years of overprocessing and damage could have been avoided if they hadn’t been in such a hurry to get to the next head!
NEVER have I ever seen a process like this! It was very insightful, thanks!
Lol. It’s different. Thank you for watching💓
This trick of coating already relaxed hair prior to having a relaxer touch-up is a game changer. I saw a clear difference in how my hair felt after my touch up.
I don't know if this is what you feel but I love how thick my hair feels while washing and rinsing. Not stringy and i have way less strands on my hands while washing.
@@Littlething41 SPOT ON!!!
I wish everyone would be as knowledgeable and caring with our type of hair. It’s good to know that relaxed hair doesn’t mean damaged hair.
Great video! I don't blame you for relaxing at home because hair salons don't care about the health of the client's hair, only the money in the client's wallet. You are blessed to have a sister that can help you..Tell your sister that she is "good people."
Thanks so much!! Yes! Some stylists don’t care and I refuse to be subjected to their lack of knowledge. My sis says “thank youuu!!”💞☺️
👍
TRUTH! Many cannot be trusted at all. Some aren't even good at what they do even with their 'license'. Some just don't care. Greed They see $$$$$$
Yes
The salons really don't.. they don't take their time and rush your hair
I use Soft and Beautiful in nomal strength no lye because I live in the Caribbean and its dry here. My hair is currently and inch above waist length. Love your vid very informative
All relaxer have lye some not as much as other
Nice!! Thanks for watching!!
@@cherrypai44 right. What Caribbean is she in chile💀
@@shinysphinx8849 Hahaha 😂
I’ve been natural for 5+ years. I still watch your channel. You’re just that good.
Wow!! Thanks Valerie💕 for your support!!!
This would have saved me so much pain when I was relaxed. If anyone wants healthy relaxed hair, this is the way to do it.
Followed your instructions and omggggg The best relaxer i made myself was thanks to you. Hugs from Puerto Rico!!
Wow 🤩 Thank you Tammy for sharing that!! So glad my technique worked for you💕
I’m ready for for a RELAXER baby❣️ After being Natural for a year and half, Im so done. I sweat in my head too much to keep a silk press😏This is the best example of “how to do a Home Relaxer”Thanks for sharing with us! I Subscribed the first day I came across you and started taking notes.💖
Awww 😍 thanks for the luv!! Glad this helped you.
I really took the leap😊and so glad I did. I did my virgin Relaxer on October 31st, it came out so nice! Just going into my 3rd week and preparing for when my new growth, comes in; thats the time I need to be cautious by doing touch-ups too soon. Grateful!❤️
How did you integrate this process doing a virgin relaxer? Im a virgin and am strongly considering relaxing, but the right way of course:)
Sherry H If this ain’t me 😂😂😂 I’m beyond ready but scared at the same time but I’m not a fan of 4b/4c type hair. And especially since my hair is super coarse, it’s even worse! I can’t deal anymore
Great process! I always say gaining health and length on Afro textured hair is a thinking game. It is not possible to be consistently successful by guessing. This video demonstrates and epitomizes this concept. You have thought about your process from starting on a different side each time, to understanding that your hair is thicker in the back and you need to start there. Also, your prep process of using the porosity product and hair grease to protect your previously, processed hair from the touch-up and runoff, required analysis and thought, too. Pre-parting is genius! Beautiful afro-textured hair, relaxed or natural, rarely comes about by accident. That's a million dollar process you have developed over the last ten years. Excellent video, as usual. And of course your hair came out gorgeous!
Wowowow🤩 I’m truly honoured, MsChicoro!! I’ve always looked up to you and your feedback is definitely appreciated!! You are absolutely right, it’s a thinking game and nothing is left to ‘guess work’. Thought, research, consistency and patience makes a world of difference in any hair care routine. Though I’ve explained my process step by step for those who’ve asked, nothing like giving a visual☺️ with hopes that it will serve someone. Thank you SO much for watching and for your support!!
@@HairliciousInc It is my pleasure. You help a lot of people. What puts you head and shoulders above the rest is you impart your information with generosity of Spirit, with kindness and graciousness. There can never be enough of that in the world. More videos, please!
I’m only halfway through and I’m amazed! So much knowledge. I needed this live visual. You mean to tell me I been relaxing wrong this whole time?! I damaged my 4c relaxed hair to the point of big chopping, now I’m growing it back out and I will for sure be doing this exact routine for my virgin and touch up relaxers!!! THANK YOU! I’m so ready to start my journey over 💖💖💖
Awww thank you. Nothing wrong with starting over 💕
The twists is such a good idea I was thinking about this watching other relaxer vids but actually seeing the practicality in action and your amazing results I am floored. I might want to give this a try someday!
I hope you see this. I started my relaxed journey in March after being natural for almost 10 years. The entire time I was natural I never wore my hair out and only wore weaves. My husband and I got pregnant with a baby girl which is now here today. And I wanted to set an example for her to know that she can grow long and healthy hair. So I began watching all of your videos and then decided to go relaxed. Since March my hair went from above my shoulders and is now well past my armpits. It’s insane! Thank you for all your great advice and tips. People ask me about what I’m doing. I’m like just watch Val. 💗🥺
I needed this...because I have decided to stop going to the salon, because they don’t know wtf they are doing. Now I have to start all over again with my hair because of relaxer damage. 😭
Happy that this video served you!! Nothing wrong with starting again. It will be healthier than ever before!!
Same my stylist would always run the relaxer through my whole hair. I quickly left her and thank god my hair didn’t fall out
You have this down to a Science! I love how soothing your voice is and you relaxed that hair like a seasoned veteran. You look GOOD!!!
Whew, thank youuu sis!! I ain’t new to this💃🏾🤣 But honestly, it took time to perfect. I appreciate your feedback!!!
Giiiiiirl. Yes 🙌🙌🙌. I have been having such a tough hair journey. I've been relaxed to natural for 2 and a half years , back to relaxed again. I'm a grown grown woman and never in my history of getting relaxers, not even at the salon have I ever had my hair this soft and healthy after a relaxer session. I purchased every item and played your video while relaxing my hair today (although I watched ur video at least 10 other times). Even with my hair short I was able to section and protect my ends. I can't wait for my hair to obtain more length because I know my relaxer days will be 💣 bomb! Thanks for this video
Ma’am if u ever see this I just want to thank you! Besides almost $100 spent on all these products U have single Handedly changed my entire relaxer day and it has been for the absolute best!!!!
I don't know what I would do without your channel, thanks so much, you are helping so many women.
Pre sectioning is a game changer if your self relaxing. Thanks for giving us such a great and clear tutorial.
It’s really changed the game for me. Though I always speak about it, I definitely had to demonstrate it. Thank you for watching!!
I love how it’s straight but still has a tad bit of texture 😻
Yesss!! That’s what I always aim for.
Grew up slapping relaxers on my hair and continued that all through my 20s. Been natural the last 4 years cause I thought it was the only way to finally grow my hair.
Don't regret it but gonna go back to a relaxer next week cause I prefer wearing my hair straight. Thanks for this video! Got a new subscriber. 💛🔥
Same here.
I wonder if I can do this process alone; afraid I won’t process the back correctly. I love this process. Thank you.
Wow before all of the new hair gurus...... you and your online forum was the number one source for knowledge. A real veteran.
Here in africa,my country specifically (malawi) when relaxing, they relax the previously relaxed hair along with the new growth 💀 good thing I went natural cause my hair would fall out,now I'm off to tell my mom and lil sis this the next time they are relaxing
My hairdresser used to do the same thing - every single touch up 🤦🏾♀️ I have no idea how I still had hair on my head.
So happy to see another Malawian watching this (m Malawian too). And it's true 🤣 they will pull and stretch as well.
I relaxed root to tip every few months for 20 years and maintained long thick hair. Everybody’s hair is different. I have a keratin treatment now (on top of the relaxed hair) and love it.
Girl am from malawi 😂😂😂 you are right they do that
@@pumzysaka478 malawi squad here
EXCELLENT. Thanks for sharing. I haven't relaxed my hair in over 15 years. However, your video gives great insight/instruction on healthy application of a relaxer. Those who have family/friends that still relax can share your method. Your hair looks great, most of all...healthy. 👏💝
I appreciate your kind words and love. I really listened to my subscribers and their requests. I’m happy to finally share my routine in detail with hopes that it will serve someone.
I love how you take care of your hair. As a natural, I really love that! A lot of the girls I see relax their hair really don't care too much about the health of their hair. So, this is great.
Thank you, Deborah!! Relaxed hair requires care and love. It’s not hard, just need the interest and commitment.
@@HairliciousInc The key to all life goals!
Looking back on your video really taught me a life lesson: with intention, care, love and patience you really can achieve anything.
Some people don't just want straight hair but almost an extinction of their kicks. So, they end up over processing, overlapping and being too eager to get a result. Overall, in the end they get the straightness but lose the health.
However with you, you prioritize health, length and longevity of your hair. I'm inferring that for you its not just straightness you seek, but self care & manageability. As a young black woman, I really do appreciate you showing this.
Eventhough I may never go back, I now know that even if you perm you can still treat your hair with love. No one has ever shown me that. For them, it was almost a self deprecating act that sowed in the message that kinks were not acceptable and should be rid of. Now I see another way to view it.
Keep treating yourself with love!
Same here I wise me and my sister was like this
I’ve been natural for 13 years and it’s refreshing to see your video/ technique. When I use to get relaxers, my hair was just as healthy as it is now. So I totally agree it’s about hair care period. Not sure if I will ever go back because I love going from silk press ( which is usually like 3 times a year) to my curly styles. People always ask me about my flat twist and two strand twist technique it’s a process for sure. But I believe if all of us share our hair care techniques regardless of this natural vs relaxed hair stuff what a movement this would be. I embrace it all. I just love healthy hair. Nothing against weave or wigs but it’s just something about healthy hair. I saw my childhood stylist a few weeks ago while visiting home in Louisiana and she was so proud to see how healthy my hair continues to remain. Miss those silk press and roller wrap days. All of us had edges and hair down our backs. I’m here for it all. Thank you again for sharing.
I’ve been natural for about 5/6 years and I am about to relax my hair and you’ve made me feel so confident I can’t wait to see where it takes me
I can never thank you enough for posting this detailed video, I used creme of nature plex breakage defense before , but using it on my relax day is a game changer. Once again I thank God for you, you are a blessing amongst us relaxed sister🤗
So happy my video has helped you!!
Omgggg I found you YEARSSS ago and lost you lol. So glad this came up in my recommended. I used your regimens faithfully and it grew my relaxed hair back. Non relaxer now, but still enjoy your videos.
Awww thanks Latasha for the luv💕💕
My hair was so flat and damaged during my relaxer days. I so wish I knew all this back then. I wonder what my hair would have looked like. Thank you for this video. Super informative!
I LIKE THAT YOUR SISTER HELPS YOU. LESS CHANCE OF OVER PROSSING OR OVER LAPPING.
I started following you about a year ago after I did a drastic haircut to save my damaged hair. I wish that I had found your video before I did the haircut as short hair has never fit me but it was a means to an end.
You have some very insightful information and I religiously have started purchasing most of the hair products that you use and the tools also. I have adapted to your hair regimen and it’s now 20 months since my haircut and my hair has improved and grown drastically.
Thank you for doing these videos, they are truly amazing. I have learned more about my hair from you than from anyone else in my lifetime. My hair is beautiful again. Can’t wait for it to grow back to its original length 😊
Funny. When I saw your Instagram post yesterday, I asked you if you would record your full relaxer process, and you were two steps ahead of me. I wish I had a sister to do this for me!! Nice job.
Lol. I guess I’m right on time!! My sister has come through for me each and every time. Don’t know what I would do without her😌
I'm 36 and was relaxed from 5-14, it's been a long time since I went natural at 15 but oh my gosh how the game has changed for relaxers! I'm so glad there are more protective, loving and thoughtful best practices for our hair when going through chemical processing. I bet I wouldn't have had my hair always breaking off and near constant chemical burns is this was how everyone was taught to process their hair like this. Fantastic job, ladies.
I've been a natural for a year and a half but I was also relaxing my hair before going natural, I feel like I'm learning a whole new program here! I never knew this much about how to really relax your hair, no wonder your hair looks so healthy😍 Now I'm starting to believe that hair relaxers are only damaging to those who really don't know how they should relax their hair. I enjoyed watching this process and learning some new tips!❤❤❤
Thank you Raquel!! Relaxed hair can definitely grow and be healthy with the right techniques, methods and products. So happy you enjoyed this video!!
I've been natural for 10 years now and i love this video. I love to see black women taking careful care of their hair and doing relaxers the right and healthy way. ❤❤❤
Aww that means a lot coming from the natural hair community!! Thank you for spreading the love and for watching💕
Thank you. Thank you. I am looking for foolproof ways of relaxing my daughter's hair because I tried natural with her but when it's time to braid it became a struggle so I had to relax her hair. Now I wanted ways that works. This is very informative 👏 thank you 😊 🙏🏾
I also self-relax and use a lye relaxer. I'm going to try to pre-section my hair the next time because I like how easy you and your sister were able to go through each section. Olaplex is a game changer! I even went ahead and purchased the professional kit to add to my relaxers and I absolutely love it. Thank you for creating this video and showing us your relaxing method
Which relaxer do you use? I love that your hair still has so much texture.
It’s so easy and stress free. We swear by this method to prevent over processing. I’m happy this video served you. Olaplex is such a treat for the hair, especially relaxed hair. I appreciate your feedback and love.
10 years of being subscribed to your channel and never been disappointed! 🙌🏾
This is the best relaxer video I’ve ever seen!!
Thank you, Tiona!!!🤍
I agree! Wow!!
Almost all the relaxer videos i see on UA-cam and Instagram have ladies following your technique. If i see someone pre twisting their hair, applying some grease and conditioner on the previously relaxed hair and neutralizing 5 min, another 5 min and 10 min, i think AHH YES HAIRLICIOUS! You have influenced so many ladies out here, some of them don’t even give you a shout out but I always know where that technique came from. I really appreciate you sharing. You are helping so many of us who really like relaxed hair.
Awww thanks babes!! Truly appreciate your loyalty, support and luv💕😌
I have been natural for 13 years, prior to using a relaxer twice a year. again. I have always cared for my own hair and I am tired. The struggle is real.You have given me the confidence to relax. Thanks.
I really like your technique. I wish I had this video in high school lol. Overlapping my relaxer was always my issue oh and rushing. This just shows me that organization is key. Great video
Yes 🙌🏾 to the organization!! Relaxer day should never be rushed. It sets the foundation for healthier hair.
I hate natural hair. It’s impossible to manage and I just don’t have the time needed!! Its so nice to see nice long and full relaxed hair. Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
This making me want to relax my hair again!
I love the support your get from your sister. Their can be beef with the natural and relaxed ladies.
So gave up on my natural hair journey today and had this video as I went back to relaxing...let's hope this time around with your help my journey is as much as a success as yours...thanks for giving me the confidence to go back to a look I loved!
I remember my days doing this for 7 years. Never again. Too much pain and work but you really do a fantastic job of taking care of your hair and your hair is so long and beautiful it's really refreshing.
Thank you!
The way you take your time and baby your hair with every step is unmatched. Detailed yet simple! Very creative methods from the norm. ♥ ♥ ♥
It came out beautiful!!! Your sister is a real one 💯!!
Thank you , thank you, thank you 😊I will never use no lye relaxer again. I had no idea how much better lye relaxer is for the hair. Wow! I am blown away. I also followed your relaxation routine to the tea. Love, ❤️ God bless you.
I did this today and my hair relaxing day was the best I've ever done!!!! Thank you for this video!!!
I am natural, but I love that you didn't take the relaxer all the way down to your ends. I know for sure that is what damaged my hair when I was getting my hair relaxed. Your hair looks so healthy. Love it!
Thank you hun. Yes, bringing the relaxer all the way down to your ends is incorrect!!! My stylist used to do this to me🤦🏾♀️
@@HairliciousInc They did us wrong, but now we know better!
I’ve been pre parting for years! It’s interesting to see someone else do it. We coat my daughters hair with coconut oil except the new growth because coconut oil helps the hair retain protein. We use no lye ORS resistant because it’s easy to get. We may switch once I figure out where to get a good lye one from.Coconut oil also actually penetrates the hair shaft for added protection.
I always follow your method and it comes out perfect everytime! My hair is mid back now, and my older and little sister have me taking care of their relaxed hair 😂. I went to a stylist for the first time in years, and she was surprised that my hair was so healthy (she specialized in natural hair and health so she doesn't get alot of relaxed, and she said most of them are really short). Anyways I'm rambling, but you've been an absolute inspiration!🤩
This is the best videos I have seen on how to properly relax hair !!! Excellent job !!
You did a good job... Good idea for relaxing. So many have did this process wrong, including me, now I'm natural and I don't want to return.. You did a great job.
I self relaxed my hair for the first time and did this technique, and it really did make the process so much easier! My only issue is that some of my twists were coming loose before I applied the relaxer. My hair is about 3 in shy of bra strap and layered so maybe length has something to do with it? Either way, this is a super helpful video that has given me the confidence to self relax every time now. My hair comes out with more texture because I use affirm but that fact that you can air dry that straight and smooth is amazing. Girl I wish! Lol
This method works wonders! Amazing video sis! All your content is filled with great info. Such a Queen 💕
Thanks Babes!! Truly appreciate it💕
I really appreciate your routine, particularly the neutralizing phase. Some people have an awful relaxer scent days after relaxing and I knew it was because the hair wasn’t properly neutralized. You have a healthy routine that makes perfect sense scientifically. Years ago When I had a relaxer and understood the science behind it, I played with the steps a bit which still gave me great results. Because of the pH of relaxers, I knew the cuticles would remain open until after the neutralizing step. I would do a a two step conditioning process. Right after rinsing the relaxer, I would add a deep conditioner like Affirm Fiberguard, Olaplex would be perfect at this point to strengthen the bonds. Because the cuticles were open, my hair soaked up all the goodness from the deep conditioner, then I would use a neutralizing shampoo followed by a conditioner, leave in etc. I didn’t have any problems with breakage at all and I had fine colour treated hair, bra strap length.
Fantastic tip, thank you.
I just wanted to come back and say THANKYOU! I did this to mines and my sister’s hair and we all THAAANK YOUUU. God bless you
I swear to GOD! You are the best relaxer hair guru. Like I have been following your steps and my hair has never looked and felt like so good. I tried leaving the neutralising soap in for 2 mins at a time but 6 times and twisting my hair to apply the relaxer and flipping hell made a difference. Thank you SO much!
Just goes to show, if you take time listen to your hair and having patience you will have heathy relaxed hair.
Awww sis. Truly appreciate your feedback. So glad this video served you!! Listening to your hair and having patience is necessary. Please share with other relaxed ladies, if you can💞
@@HairliciousInc Honestly thank you so much. I will defo share and tell people you are the G.O.A.T for real 😭
Sis, your relaxer day is everything!!! I love how you and your sister work as a team to apply the relaxer into your hair safely and effectively. Love the results. Thank you for always putting out great content throughout the years and thank you for helping your supporters on their hair journey as well. 👍🏾❤️
I appreciate you, Phylicia❤️ Thank you for the love and support!!!
This is an excellent excellent video with excellent results. Very straight to the point , no time wasting and entertaining at the same time. You have a lovely sister. My hair is natural. I can't relax it because it's already thin in it's natural state but if I could, I'd follow your steps all the way. To be honest you're the best relaxed girl I've seen so far on UA-cam. Thank you for another informative and great video. I'll continue watching your videos 🥰.
The pre-parting, protecting and twisting sections before applying relaxer, oh! And getting your sister to help with the back, are big game changers for me. Your hair is stunning! Thank you for sharing your techniques, you have a new subscriber here 💖
Thank you SO much!! 💕💕
If I had such long and beautiful hair y'all wouldn't tell me nothing!! Absolutely NOTHING!!
This is gorgeous, gorgeous hair. ❤❤❤❤
I successfully relaxed my hair at home today on the 3rd attempt. Very excited thanks for the tips. My hair is thick & properly relaxed evenly....no more salons for me
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Did you leave it in for the whole 25 minutes?
