Hey ladies, I know I'm not alone in this... Let's encourage the next gal to be true to what works for her, no matter the style. Can you relate? Leave a comment and let us know! 😚

Your hair is your hair. I love healthy hair, and that's what I promote. Natural doesn't mean healthy and relaxed doesn't mean unhealthy. It's about taking care of your hair.
Alexa Robinson Preach sis,
Preach! ❤️🙌🏾
Amen
That humidity waits in the dark corners of the earth, smiling an evil smile...then attacks when your hair came out cute that day 😩😂🤣 like why even try to put in work 😂🤣
JaiC Bacote THE FACTS!!!! Hahahahaha yo, even when it doesn’t feel humid outside your dreams still get shattered. It’s crazy lol.
AlexisKimberlyy yup 😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No lies
Hair spray! Its the most under utilized hair product in black hair care. Like, there's anti-humidity hair spray that has a light hold and humidity resistant. WP use it all the time!
I think I'm coming to the dark side. I can't do it anymore. Last month I spent A DAY AND A HALF on my hair. Once I got down to straightening my hair...I sweat so my hair was reverting on me while I was straightening! I almost cried sis lmbo....I don't have the time to spend on my natural hair. I stay sweating and I'm literally running around on my job the entire time and my natural hair doesn't keep up. So I'm considering going back. I'm not worried about anyone else I have to do what works best for me....I tell ppl IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE TO DO MY HAIR AND FOR FREE WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE DONE COOL but you're not so stay on your side lmbo.
EternalBeauty91 YES YES YES!!! Thanks for sharing this. Sometimes the practical decision that’s going to be easier for your lifestyle is really what matters most at the end of the day. Screw other people’s opinions. They ain’t doing your hair, just like you said. Do you, babe. That’s all anyone can ask. Good luck! Let us know what you decide to do. ❤️❤️💋
It seems like some women went natural to obtain length that they couldn't while they were relaxed 🤔. I'm blessed that natural hair isn't a struggle for me.
ShadyBrooks Yes love you are blessed. Going natural has great benefits, but people can’t stop there. Maintaining a healthy hair regimen carries so much more weight. Thanks for watching babe! ❤️
I was just sick of my tight as curls. Bottom line. I missed my hair styles. I got so tired of the shrinkage and when i flat iron it last for about 30 mins. I got so depressed with my hair. I went natural in 2010. I text lax in june of 2019. 😁. Did a flat iron at 10 am and she still going strong at 9pm . Hey to the texlax babes out there.
candy k Oww me too! June 1, 2019 was my texlax day 🙌🏾😘 I shared your exact sentiments. Happy for your journey. Thanks for sharing babe!
Hey girl heyyyy 💃
Ive done my relaxer at 2 am this morning and I love it!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Wooooo!!! Congrats on the new hair journey! I'm loving that you're loving it! Keep up a great regimen babe and you should see great results! 😍😍
My hair was relaxed by mistake and I was angry and bitter about it but honestly now I don’t mind. I have a really tight schedule and don’t have time for thinking about my hair. Relaxed, texlaxed, natural, let’s do what works for us. We don’t all have the same lifestyle and our hair doesn’t define us.
Lol how does that happen?
@@beckibear I have a video on it. Let’s just say ‘lost in translation’ and poor communication
I was natural for 7yrs. 4c hair
The struggle was REAL
Just relaxed 1/25/2020
Couldn’t be happier my hair is retaining moisture and growing.
It’s a personal decision don’t concern yourself about the hair trends. Do what’s best for you.
Thanks sis for the video !
Your absolutely stunning 😍
I used to be one of those indecisive girls. I went natural and my hair was far too much to handle. It was in the worst state because I just avoided caring for it. Now I’m relaxed, so much healthier and I enjoy my wash days. Deep conditioning as we speak lol
Yes!!! I love hearing relaxed hair success stories. I'm happy you found a workable hair care routine and happy deep conditioning, sis! Lol what do you use?
AlexisKimberlyy thank you gorgeous. I use various deep conditioners.... Still working through those I bought for my natural hair, I find they work perfectly for my relaxed hair too. They are mostly protein based as they are for weak breaking hair, so my relaxed hair is loving it!!! I mostly have Shea moisture products.
when I first started learning about my hair I had no one to look forward to teaching me how to manage my hair many years I've made many mistakes but when I found out what natural hair did for me and I learn how to manage it and even with the weather the humidity I learn how to style my hair for those days of humidity rain snow summer winter fall whatever it was I learned I had a lot of mistakes but it's much easier for me now with my hair natural the only thing I use in my hair is henna and my conditioning my oil in and I do take care of my hair very well but people who get on these comment sites and they talk about how bad natural hair is it takes me on a normal day to shampoo my hair conditioner I use a cool blow dryer I have towels that absorbs the water I use Heat Protector even though I don't use a high heat blow dryer but I do blow dry my hair almost enough to look like the text Lacks and if it's a damp day or humid day I braid it I make sure that I put an oil that you know help protect my hair from the humidity good morning and I'm very myself very satisfied because I learn how to manage my hair my hair is between a 4A and 4B and it took me a long time my head on Tangela I know how to manage that I have waist length hair and I learn how to control it like I said before I do blow dry my hair that helps me with the tangles I can do my hair about every 7 to 10 to 14 days according to you know my schedule and basically it takes me if I'm doing a full regiment which I thought maybe about 8 in the morning and I go about whatever I'm doing in the house washing cleaning up I do my free pools I do my conditioning I do my wash and it takes me approximately 2 hours so I my hair isn't extremely thick my strands are very thin so I have to be very careful with that and use a shampoo or conditioner that have a lot of slip I don't get to the point where my hair is over dry I keep my hair and good condition so that I won't get to the point where I have to detangle and you know go through the whole situation before I wash it so and you go along on your head Journey whatever your hair journey is just make a regiment that fit your schedule that's all
Yup, I tried the natural thing for 6 years. I had enough, need to do what’s right for me!
12:06 definitely. I didn't know how to care for my hair before when I was relaxed but being natural made me learn. I have no issues with caring for my hair, it's just that relaxed hair would make me more willing to do so than natural hair. Truth be told, I don't regret going natural, but I think it's time to move on soon
I went natural in 2010 and decided to relax my hair in 2018. I loved my natural hair but the longer it got the more maintenance it required and I just began to resent my hair so I knew I had to make a change, and relaxing my hair was the best decision for me!
Amarie03 I’m so excited you’ve found a happy hair solution for you that fits into your life. Yes! 🙌🏾😘
Relaxed my hair on on dec 31! Thank Jesus cuz I’m never going back! I liked my hair natural but hated the process to be honest. I will say tho being natural taught me hair care so now that I’m relaxed I take extremely good care of my hair without the extra time 🤗
I am thinking about relaxing my hair again. The struggle is real. I just want to make sure I go about taking care of my relaxed hair differently so that it doesn't break off as it did in the past.
Yes this is what I’m struggling with right now I’m scared cause I don’t wanna let my self down by not taking care of my relax hair if I do relax again..I see it’s been a hair since you wrote this comment did you relax ya hair ?
I like ur video u covered almost every thing about both natural and relaxed, lm neutral for the last 8 years and for me it became easier every day, I remember in the beginning wash day was sooo long but now it take me only 60min to do every thing for my till bone hair, and I can maintain straight style up to 3 weeks, I didn't expect that to happen but I'm happy for that. So I think it's different for every one. Enjoy your hair the way u love it to be. Keep going girl u have new fan
I went back to relaxed hair three years ago, after six years of being natural. Prior to that, I was relaxed for 23 years, and prior to that, my Dear Mom pressed my hair. She truly had blessed hands. :) In order to manage my natural hair, I had to wear it cropped short. While it was cute for a time, it became difficult to find barbers/stylists to cut it the way I liked after my first barber - the one who performed my Big Chop and did a beautiful job keeping it shaped up - went MIA. I spent literally hundreds of dollars on various hair care products, to no avail. When I tried to grow out my natural hair, it broke and shed. I prefer having relaxed hair, due to my lifestyle, the types of hairstyles I like to wear, and, the fact that my natural texture is difficult to manage. I also know more about caring for my relaxed hair at home than I did during the first 23 years of being relaxed, because there is now more information out there, and I am more vigilant. I had a range of stylists who possessed a range of skills, and my hair suffered at the hands of these professionals. Honestly, the struggle in trying to manage my natural hair texture made me sad and frustrated. My natural hair texture was untenable, and wasn't thriving.
Love the video. I live in the desert so flat ironing my natural hair can last two weeks. But thinking about moving and I like my hair straight. I'm looking into options for humid areas.
I'm a "straight hair natural" I renamed myself to "heat styled natural"( lol same thing it just sounds better to me😆.) I only blow dry and flat iron once a month, and I love how easy it is to keep my hair trained. I find myself being my own worse critic as far as being a "traitor" and not embracing what God gave me, but then again I don't have time for the tangles and I know that anyone who wants to judge me is not going to wake up every morning to do my hair so... To anyone that may feel ashamed to make whatever decision you feel is best for you, just remember it's YOUR life and schedule and it will not affect anyone else whatsoever.
Mo'Love2you Yesss love your positivity and perspective! YOU define you. I’m very happy to hear you overcame those feelings of self-criticism. Now you can share your perspective with the next gal. Thanks for sharing the love babe! ❤️😘
@@AlexisKimberlyy yw❤❤❤
What has been your experience with this? Do you now have a looser curl Pattern? Do you honestly feel your hair is still healthy? I’m considering wearing my hair in a stretched state.
@@raeloves3 As of now my hair still reverts back (type 4), when I wash it. Not gonna lie it has changed, but it doesn't feel unhealthy or weak.(change as in, it takes a tad bit longer to revert but it always does) If you are afraid of your curls changing, blow dry on the cool setting, or do roller sets. You could skip the flat ironing all together but if not, I recommend 1-2 passes 410 degrees or lower, and when you get to the ends, let up and don't go as slow since they are more fragile and tends to be the first to get damaged. This way you can still have texture to your straight look and minimize damage. Also take breaks from the heat, especially if you plan on heat styling more than once a month.
Now if you want bone straight, and don't care about your curls, disregard above tips.
Mo'Love2you These tips are super helpful since I’m considering being a heat styled natural.. any tips on combating humidity? I live in Florida and it’s always humid here lol
Thank you for sharing keep up the good work looking forward to seeing you again so beautiful great job.I have been natural for to year now I have been thinking about relax again but not sure what I will do
Great video live all the info, keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support 🤗
I'm so happy that I found your video. My hair was relaxed during 8 years but I had the big chop in october 2019 because my hair was litteraly DEAD (cause by a lot of thing who was going on with my life). I had natural hair until my 12 years old and I had relaxed hair until my 22 years old. Now I'm back to natural hair since october 2019 and this is a f**** struggle EVERY SINGLE TIME. I can't do it anymore. Everybody keeps telling me : Keep your natural hair, it's more black women identity, this is the trend now, it's not good for your body and blablabla. It tooks me 4 HOURS to do my hair and my schedule is too tigth for this. I don't have time. I'm miss my extension hair and relaxed hair so much. I just never had natural hair for so long that I just don't know how to take care of them. Cost so much money and go to the hairdresser to do braids, etc. I really try to keep it up, but I just can't. I'm gonna crack for sur.
Thank you and just discover your video. I feel less by myself now !
Love from Montreal, Qc, Canada xxx
I haven't seen my natural hair since 12yrs old. My Grammy made me wait til 12. I will relax and wrap (black creation=wrap) until there's nothing left to relax and wrap. Thanks for all those beautiful modern styles.
Little Momma LOL hahaha yesss girl. Stick to your guns 💪🏾 Many women would love to be this bold. Thanks for sharing!
Same, I also relaxed at 12 and still relaxed at 26. I love my hair, always have but I will admit my hair is much less of a pain for me when relaxed. I was so tender headed when natural I would dread the days my mother did my hair! Whew chile I got PTSD just thinking about it lol
Great video. Very helpful
I'm a guy that's been doing all sorts of exotic things to my hair lol and this video actually helped me as far as what I want for my hair. I'm staying natural, especially if I am one of those "color freaks" lol.
Anonymous Hahahaha at “color freaks.” Being honest with yourself is SO important lol. I’m really happy I could be of help! I hope you decide to join the fam and subscribe ❤️❤️ Good luck to you!!
I went natural three times and each time was because of chemical damage and being influenced by the movement, and thinking my hair would look like some of these YT people. Anyway- after 5 years of meh hair that didn’t grow the way I thought it would with all the extra attention and low manipulation etc, I’m texturized and staying texturized. I know more than ever now about how to take care of my hair and found a relaxer than underprocessed- so I’m good.
I was wondering why you put in a video of some random natural girl. Lol- your look has totally changed 😜 you look good either way but so nice to see another texlaxed sista
Your journey for natural hair is the same as mine. I went back to texlax/relax after over 6 years natural. It’s been a 1 1/2 years and don’t regret it. Do I miss my natural hair? Sometimes 🙂. But not the time I spent managing it. The longer it got the more work it was. Detangling was a 🥵and sometimes I just wanted to go to bed and not spend time twisting it up. My hair was unpredictable and a change in weather would ruin the whole process in less than 30 mins. Entering my 6th decade in life I have better things to worry about and things not do. The fact that I have never have worn braids, weaves or wigs didn’t help my cause in the natural world. I just wore my hair. Always! Too tender-headed and big headed for even a headband. My hair is the same either relaxed or natural as far as length and health. But for ME this relaxer is far easier. Roller set once a week and bam out the door.
Honeyyyyy, this speaks to me on a spiritual level. Thanks for sharing because a lot of women aren't as confident as you are to do that. There's a lot of shame around relaxers, so I hope to build a support system around this. Our journeys are VERY similar, haha. I HEAR you on the tender-headedness and weather ruining styles. My natural hair was healthy but just didn't fit into my lifestyle. Keep sharing the wealth! What rollers do you use for your roller sets? ❤❤
AlexisKimberlyy I use magnetic rollers. That’s it. No other heat or process during the week. I kinda of roll it under, slap a bonnet and go to bed. I got my 1st relaxer at 16. I was relaxed up to 52. Then went natural. For 6 years I wore twist and braid outs. I hated wash day. The whole process was tiring for me but I didn’t want to give up but felt my hair was consuming my time and darn I had other things to do on my weekends. Life is short and even shorter at 60 ha ha. So I’m doing what works best for me and could care less what someone else thinks. I got my nights and weekends back. I wish we just weren’t so hard on it each for making personal decisions that work best for each person. Your hair is gorgeous!
Chestarr21 Batson Beautiful! And I completely agree. We should all feel free to do what we want with our hair, bodies, etc. The magnetic rollers sound amazing! You don’t air dry, right? You sit under a dryer? I’m so interested because I have not been able to do a successful roller set since texlaxing lol. Thanks so much for sharing your routine with us! ❤️❤️
AlexisKimberlyy yes I sit under a dryer. But remember I have been roller setting my own hair for at least 30 years and can do my whole head in about 20 mins. But I can’t flat twist, French braid , flat iron or blow dry to save myself🙏🏾. All of it takes practice which I don’t have patience for...... so it’s a roller set or a simple braid out if I have the air drying time. 👍🏾😃
Your hair looks healthy and beautiful. Can you please share what low lye relaxer you recommend?
''So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.'' 1 Corinthians 10:31
I've been natural for 13 or 14 years. I've constantly been frustrated by it. I've tried countless natural styles and always end up wearing wigs. I have decent density in the back but thin on the sides (some hereditary and some traction alopecia from wearing braids most of my life before going natural). My strands are fine and my hair tangles SO easily. As soon as I've finished detangling it has tangled back. I find it pointless to be natural if I don't like wearing my hair out. I've been thinking of texlaxing my hair for two years. I think I will do it next week. Thanks for sharing your suggestions.
I also struggle with traction alopecia and with my natural hair it’s really hard to hide it.. so I think relaxing it is best ...
Did you end up relaxing it? I am constantly in doubt. The description of your hair is 100% my situation the think in the back thin sides causing (in my case) certain hairdos to look awful cause im actually missing quite some hair it breaks off so much so a lot of frizz have a 'present' forehead.i workout almost daily and indeed even straightened out this hair tangles like crazy.youncan take a small bit of hair n brush of for 30 minutes, for 30 min you'll feeln tangles with each stroke and i wonder if then maybe it isnt better to just straighten it...though i did keratine a while which was straightening it too but straight was not curling anymore and new hair was becoming a rebel. (Im mixed but my hair didnt mix i have parts that are 2b and some 3b in between all the zigzag 4b
@@beccstrn.3484 I did and I loved it for a while but ended up wishing I had gone further with the process. Ended up relaxing it and really liked that. My problem was I didn't take care of it as frequently as I should have and life got in the way. I had always wanted to shave my head so I finally did it but now it has grown back. I liked it so much I might shave it again. Whatever you decide to do, I would suggest at least looking into a professional (if you have anyone in your area familiar with you hair type and the service you want). That's one thing I never did and kind of wish I had. Good luck on your hair journey.
Good video. I will always say I wonder if our Hispanic sisters have this issue when they Keratin/ relax their curls ( yes. Some do - do this)...healthy hair is healthy hair
We diverse this way - stay you...
I love the information I get from your videos! So a big thanks and virtual hug!
I am tex-laxed with Mizani Butter No-lye for sensitive scalp. My stylist puts it in and takes it out. I need a good chelating shampoo. I have 3b-c, very fine stranded woman. I'm going tomorrow for my first relaxer in 4 1/2 months due to lockdown. After neutralizing, I will have an Olaplex 3 applied before deep conditioning and blowout and flat iron.
I only use heat on wash day each week. A week or so after relaxer, I want to use a moisturizing chelating shampoo. Someone suggested Mizani Phormula 7 Neutralizing and chelating shampoo. Cant find it, and it came in a giant bottle. Do you know a good one?
You should do a wash and go on your texlaxed hair. I've seen some with gorgeous results but no wash n go's on 4c texlaxed hair
dw29376 When I figure out how to do one successfully I will lol I’ve had many failed attempts. I hear you tho boo, I’ll def see about getting that out ❤️😘
AlexisKimberlyy awesome! Good luck I’m still trying to figure it out as well
If your hair is relaxed that's still your natural hair ,when you are wearing a weave or extensions that's not your natural hair that's how I understand it ,I relaxed my hair and to me I call it natural because it's running through my scalp and I'm not wearing any extensions ,
And once again your hair is beautiful
I love your videos! I’m definitely gonna promote your channel to more relaxed ladies.
ColleenMarieT Awww sis, thank you!! I see you doing big things as well babe! Let’s continue to support each other ❤️❤️
I never cared about what people think about my hair weather it's natural, telaxed or relaxed. It is my hair , period.
I love how u said "so ur a natural gurl thinking about going bk to relaxers"...like u know we've all sniffed the cream Crack bfr...😫
Been natural for 4/5 years now and before that I was relaxed. Being natural is such a hassle I cannot anymore it’s just not my style 😭😭 doesnt suit my personality at all I’m just tired lmaooo + I do not have the time
I wear wigs but when I wear my natural hair I straighten it and I usually do sleek ponytails but of course with 4c hair it’s never sleek sleek, and I’m super tender headed so 😭
Laney Plum girl I totally get you! I was natural for about 5 years before I went back to texlaxing. I know the struggle of 4C hair. Ultimately you gotta choose the style that fits in your lifestyle and leaves you feeling the most confident. Screw everything else! For so long I was TIHEDDD 😂😂 I had to make a change. I don’t regret it!
What's the difference between texlaxing & texturizer?
You are gorgeous
Are there specific brands that do texlaxers with very little relaxing product in it? Or is it just left to time management?
Femme Futile There are some products marketed as “texture softeners” or texturizers and claim to have a lower concentration of chemical ingredients. But be careful because in many instances the chemical is just as strong as a regular relaxer but the product just has more conditioning ingredients to dilute the product. It’s tricky. I’m going to do some research on my own and post a full video about this because a lot of women have this question! ❤️
well obviously you don't look like a white woman because you relax your hair, you just look like a beautiful black woman that has beautiful hair
I co-washed when my hair was relaxed before co-washing was a thing. I worked out so my hair was salty so it was easier to wash with conditioner, especially if I was on the go. Now that I am natural, I don't co-wash. I wash and condition my hair weekly not that I have found the right products for me.
I love being natural. I don't straighten it. If I was younger I would do all the things. Wash and go is it for me.
Love it; thanks 4 this babe. Got insta?
Thanks for watching hun!
I want to relax my hair but i stilll want some volume, does texlaxed give you that advantage??
Yes textlax would be the better option as opposed to going bone straight with relaxing
Relaxers should never get your hair bone straight with proper technique though. I did relaxers for years and it was thick, plenty of texture, long, shiny and healthy. I went to a stylist that really knew what she was doing. My hair is too coarse for texlax so she did mild relaxers on me and never let them sit, applied and rinsed immediately. Made a huge huge difference. Got compliments from strangers everyday. Drop dead gorgeous relaxed hair. Been natural for 8 years but I'm going back to relaxed before the end of this year.
Wait what’s texture relaxed?
Process it to where alot of the texture is still there.

Great video. You look and sound like a news anchor :) If that is not what you do as a profession, you may have missed your calling. Just saying!
I’m Allergic To Relaxed
Kbye!
Is it the lightning why u3our skin looks so light i thought was 2 different people.
Same lighting, same skin every video.
Finally I can relate 💃💃🙏 I am unsubscribing. You are the first youtuber who has spoken about how humidity affects the hair when it is taxlaxed. I want to start taxlaxing, I will have to watch all of your videos for better guidence. I love your honesty
There is no shame in relaxing your hair or doing any other treatment. I am not hating on you in any way. You are beautiful and the inte t of this video is great. However, you should not tell People that a relaxer is safe because it has been on the market a long time and that they are ok because you havent seen any negative concequenses YET.....
linda berry Thank you for the compliment and thanks for watching. I never said relaxers were safe at any point in this video. What I actually said was that putting a chemical on your hair is not ideal and is something a person should consider before relaxing. The fact that relaxers have been on the market for several decades is actually a fact, not just my opinion, and I am free to share that I personally have not had a negative experience with them. This video is intended to empower women to do what they want after careful consideration. I am not “telling” anyone to do anything.
Literally spending 12+ hours just to do my hair, not even doing it well, I do not have the patience to be gentle on tangles. Who knows how long being gentle would take. My natural hair has gotten pretty long because it’s been staying in “protective”(honestly just lazy) styles for months at a time. But I’m about to make the switch. I’m tired of being in the shower so long the water runs cold, I’m tired of my arms being sore, putting a crick in my neck, having to plan ahead to allow for hair styling. I commend the long hair natural girls but my natural hair is clocking out🫡
I’m lightly relaxed and still do natural styles wash and go twist out etc, people can’t tell unless I tell them, their reaction changes once I tell them I’m relaxed. Winter months I wear it straight it still reverts with humidity best of both worlds.
SAME!!! People don’t realize until I tell them and then the conversation gets awkward lol. And I rock straight hair in the winter too. Only time of year the weather will allow my straight styles to flourish ❤️🤣
