Hi all! By popular demand! This video is dedicated to ways you can determine whether or not your relaxed hair is overprocessed and what you can do to hopefully fix it. Enjoy!
Started having lots of shedding and breakage after seeing a stylist for one year. Switched to a new stylist and same happened. Nothing was working so I cut my near shoulder length hair off and started taking care of it myself. Still saw shedding. Finally went to a doctor and found out it was anemia and vitamin D deficiency. Now I’m seeing less shedding and little breakage. Sometimes the issue is internal as in my case. Thus my suggestion before doing the big chop like I did go see a doctor to make sure it’s not internal. I do love these videos Dominique because I learn so much. Unfortunately with all the travel I do it’s hard to find a good stylist so watching videos like yours really has helped me. Thanks!
My hair fallen out lot at the back and my edges growing n falling out back and forth. I have anemia but this hair stylist think it's from my hair being over processed from a relaxer. Do you think it's the relaxer or my iron?
Loved this! Personally I dont trust stylist with my hair, I do my relaxer at home and I retain a little over 6 Inches a year. Your hair looks so good btw!
Hey Ericka! That is AWESOME! Seriously! That is a subject I would like to tackle here on my UA-cam channel - What To Do When You Don't Trust Your Stylist. Thanks so much for your kind words! xoxox
*'Under-processed'* hair in the middle of 2 good relaxers is also a killer! In fact I think under processing is waaay worse than over-processed. (Talking from experience)
My hair is under-processed and its breaking alot but I can't do anything about it because I watched a video that said you have to wait before trying to correct it...
@@yasminwilliams2837I know this is a long stretch, but if you possibly ever see this. Can you remember how long you had to wait? I have underprocessed texturized hair now and I desperately need to relax it. Can’t seem to find a time range to wait
Hi Dom!I don't want t hijack your channel but EVERYTHING you said is spot on. Yourself, Colleenmariet and Hairlista have all helped me so much in the past 12 months. I had to turn to UA-cam after a bad relaxer and then too much protein (don't get me started on that!). You also HAVE TO train your stylist. Unless you have ridiculously thick hair, the relaxer should not stay in more than 15 minutes...and make sure they work fast! No watching Telemundo and/or helping their kid with homework over the phone while applying your relaxer. Remember YOU are the paying client! And coat the ends of your hair before you go to your stylist...use Vaseline and slick it back in a ponytail if necessary. A really good protein treatment for severely damaged hair is the nexus emergency polymedic reconstructor but please, please, please make sure that you wash that sucker out completely WITH SHAMPOO and then follow up with a deep moisturizing conditioner (NO MORE PROTEIN AFTER THAT TREATMENT IS NECESSARY). And get regular trims. Let go of the idea of LONG hair...a really cute cut is so 'sexy, sleek and spicy' (Sexy Chocolate - *mic drop*!) I got a really cut short bob (similar to Gabrielle Union's new do) and I loved it more than I thought I would. I could say that my hair literally sprung to life after cutting off a few inches of damaged ends. I like is much that I plan on keeping it for a while. Again, thanks for sharing. Be blessed! xoxo
Liam - I seriously LOVE YOU. Your comments are awesome! I agree 100%. I got lucky with Gloria the hairstylist. She watches me like a hawk and is so good at what she does. She also explains the process as she's working or tells why she's switched hair products, etc. etc. I've learned so much from her. It's funny, when I let go of being obsessed with having long hair, my hair grew! LOL! xoxoxoxoxxo
And I/we LOVE YOU! Gloria IS a blessing (now clone her damn it and send her clone to NYC :)). But seriously, a really good stylist is key to a successful hair journey (i.e., if you're not confident enough to relax/texlax yourself at home). So thanks again to wonderful youtubers such as yourself who help to educate so many people! Somethings are common sense - like if your head feels like its on fire during a relaxer then WASH IT OUT!! - but there are other tips, product information and simply sharing experiences on what to do, what NOT to do on these platforms, that is such a huge benefit and I am very grateful. Much love from The Big Apple... Muah!
As a high schooler that doesn’t have much of a back bone, cutting my hair is only going to remind me of the nightmares I had when I first got it chopped. I was heavily bullied cause of my hair and when we got my hair cut people still made fun of me. I don’t talk back to people or tell them off so I just bottle it in. I’m personally fine with having short hair but I don’t want to be made fun of anymore.
S L E E P Y P A S T E L S Girl - you better grow a back bone!!! You’ll need it because life will only get harder if you don’t learn NOW to stick up for yourself. For now, care for the hair you already have and cut off the damaged parts when you’re ready. Hang in there, and don’t suffer alone if the bullying continues. Seek help from people you trust. 🤗
Be kind to yourself. You are loved. You are important. You are enough...just the way you are! What is your talent? Something you do that fills your spirit with joy and nurtures your soul? Do that and find a way to earn a living doing that special thing you do! Find your inner strength and build on that! You are awesome!!!!
I have to fire my current hairstylist and I'm so sad about it. I love her but she's keeping my hair from retaining length. She overlaps my relaxer every time she does my hair and gives me a hard time about relaxing every 12 weeks, which in my opinion is better for my and my hair than relaxing every 8 weeks. I also get so much breakage whenever she blows my hair out which I don't even understand because that doesn't happen when I blowdry my own hair?? I'm nervous about trying a new stylist right now so I'm going to self-relax with the help of a family member while I search reviews high and low. I'm around the Boston area if anyone sees this and knows of a good hairstylist I can go to!
Oh no! But yeah - sounds like she has to go. Google hairstylists in Boston who can relax hair. Their must be a few good ones!! If not, I'd hop on the train and head to NYC to see Mo Knows Hair! She's amazing. Here is her contact info: moknowshair.com/appointments/
Same here love I been knowing her since middle school she's been my stylist for 4 yrs now and I get my hair trimmed twice a year , Perm it once a year, deep condition n protective styles throughout the year, thick hair runs and my family for which I learned to appreciate now that I'm a adult. Since going to her which is once a year for my bday 'I pamper myself yearly ' it's always thick n long before I get my perm , deep condition, ends trimmed by her after leaving the salon my hair feels thinner after a few days I have to deep conditioned again and every day is like hair rehab for about 2 months I researched my hair which is 4C and have been on hair journey for 10yrs now I know what products to use and not , set backs and come ups but I managed to keep it healthy n thick, I discuss this with her each time smh she has the same hair type as mine!It's going to be hard but I gotta do what's best for me and my hair I work too hard for this 4C almost tailbone length I got this and so do you!
Do you have an email address? I will send you to my hair stylist in Boston. She has gifted hands. I moved to Philadelphia a year ago and my hair started falling out. Never had an issue with her back home.
I believe that it requires patience in order for you to keep your hair healthy. I find most people I know with very little patience and a lot of self hate for their own hair. A lot of times they neglect their hair because of it. You must realize that unless you start to love your hair you will nurture and give it the TLC it needs. Then you will see your best results ever!
Danyellg not really. My daughter hates doing her hair. She lets it do whatever...but she loves her hair. She had 3bc hair..some people are just not into hair
These were great and very important tips! I have never had over-processed hair in the past I did go to a stylist the first two was just cutting on my hair every two weeks every time I went in, the third one she really helped me out a lot as in talking about oils deep conditioning hot oil treatments scalp massages, and then I just went on UA-cam and did the rest of my research. The only thing I can say about over-processed hair or damaged hair is to really deep condition every single week and also add hot oil treatments as well and keep the ends moisturized and sealed. Thank you so much your hair is very healthy and I love it God bless you🙏🌹
Thank you so much, Babe! I love how your channel is coming along! Good for you! Yeah - we are fortunate to have found great stylists who actually care about our hair. I'm currently trying to do a full month of no heat on my hair. I feel my hair could use the break. I'll be filming a video on my process - so far, so good! I've started doing the hot oil treatments more regularly and boy - my hair is loving it! xoxoxox
This is been a year long but hopefully you can answer me :). You mentioned a deep conditioner weekly, but do I deep condition with protein conditioner or moisturizer conditioner since it’s damaged ? Thanks for the rest of the tips.

Hairdresser must have used a super strength after running out of the mild relaxer I brought which I should have just put in myself. After washing my hair I discovered it was tangled, spongy, slimy dry, and 4 years later still very itchy. I had to get it shaved off and my hair is still different textures and lengths, very short and barely able to grow so I can not style it at all. I have tried just about everything but am still having to resort to wigs or hats and searching for a miracle at this time. I will look into your recommendations.
Hello everyone! I recently experienced getting a over processed perm. My hair was 80% natural, which I did not know and I got a relaxer. Fast forward my hair has been shedding tremendously. I have decided to get the big chop ✂️. I am very nervous, but I think this is the only option for me. 🤞🏽
I relaxed my hair at home and it started to break so I had to cut the ends off . Right now it's at shoulder length so I'll definitely be taking your Tips 🙂 thank you
I did my own relaxer 3 months ago and oh boy did i pay a hefty price. I dont trust hairstylist but i go to them just for relaxer and to clip my ends and we go over how much to clip. Other than that i waah and condition my own hair and it is growing back and its looking better.
You need to start standing up after you are done with your videos to show us what you are currently wearing. Your wardrobe is off the chain. I love the yellow shirt!!!
Thank you, Marie! I've filmed two fashion videos and they are coming up in the coming weeks! Jeez. At this rate, I'll have to start posting twice a week!
I've always enjoyed your videos! They are informative with practical information. My stylists (of 10 years) over processed my hair a few weeks ago and it completely broke off in the back. This wasn't the first time, but absolutely the worst breakage I've had in a very, very long time. After the shock and crying; I decided to, once again, take over relaxing my own hair. I'd prefer to pay someone to do it, but I can't keep dealing with my hair growing and someone else causing it to break. So the cut has happened and now I'm just researching and making sure I do what I can to prevent this from happening again.
Hahahahaha I chuckled so hard when you said “like hay” because that’s my hair all day long. It isn’t funny but it is. I honestly can’t wait to start over with this MESS I’ve got going on. Thanks for the tips.
My hair isn’t relaxed but i had bleached it around November. My stylist says it’s over processed but my curl pattern was fine after it was bleached. Fast forward now it’s a different story. I’m not sure what happened. I haven’t been doing masks like i should and i do wet my hair everyday. My stylist suggests that i should chop it all off but i don’t feel like it’s necessary... i’m not sure what to do😭
Same here! I just had mine bleached as part of a BOTCHED color process from a stylist I THOUGHT was seasoned. Now, I am in the mix fixing it with in home protein treatments, deep conditioning and hot oil treatments. What did you end up doing?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME YOU ! YOU HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH !! MY HUSBAND IS HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS OF MY FOLLOWING YOU, AND APPLYING ALL YOU SAY FOR MY HAIR . YOUR TRULY SUPER BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED ! THANKS SO MUCH AGAIN.. AND CHILD DON'T LEAVE US LIKE THAT EVER EVER AGAIN.... WE NEED YOU👈🏾 your Super Duper Valued and Needed !!! 😘💖👑👏🏾
Hahahaha! La'Trice - promise. I'm not going anywhere! So sorry! LOL! I'm so thrilled that both you and your husband are happy with the progress! Good for you!! xoxoxoxo
I started relaxing my hair a few months ago. Theres barely any salons in my city that do relaxers anymore and the one girl I went to overpricesssed some of my hair so I started doing it myself at home. It's been about 6 months and yesterday I asked my friend to help me do a touch up I said "only do an inch or less" and she did my entire head😐 so I guess I'm gonna have to cut it because my hair is completely damaged now
My sister did that when I asked her to help me re touch my relaxer. I couldn’t believe a woman in her 20,s who had been relaxing for years had not read the box or listened when I said roots only My hair turned brown over processed
I have spent hundreds of dollars on different products to stop the shedding and breakage of my hair which is uber thick & about bra strap length to find out I had thyroid cancer. My thyroid disease was the culprit. It’s not always the relaxer.
Tarnisher Mack I am so sorry. I have mentioned in many videos that you should see you doctor of you are really struggling with your hair and nothing seems to be working. How are you doing?
Style Domination I am do much better they removed the tumors did radiation but one of the side effects of thyroid disease is the excessive shedding so at least I know what the problem is and I take supplements. My hair is growing it’s just the shedding that’s unnerving. But soooooo many of your tips have helped and had a positive impact and I sincerely thank you🥰
I’m finally natural after 2 years but I’m so ready for a relaxer. The only reason I’m contemplating it is that I deliver the mail. I’m worried about the intense heat bearing down on my head. I don’t plan on putting heat in my after shampooing just sealing and a good leave in conditioner. It’s just being in the hit sun that I’m worried about.
Thank you! My eyebrows - sigh. What a nightmare. They are so coarse and as I get older, so sparse! They are getting micro laser soon! Just got my Olaplex. Excited!
@@StyleDomination i am obsessed with brow..mine have always been like baby hairs and thin... i am seriously thinking about a transplant...also do a review on olaplex too.
Hi Style dominination, I hope I addressed you appropriately. Thank you for this video, it was really insightful. However, I do really need help. I relaxed my extremely thick 4c natural hair about 2 weeks ago and I'm both disappointed for the second time and don't know what to do next. I live in Manchester, UK and can't seem to find a good hair stylist here. It's been from one horrible story to another till I had to settle with making cornrows myself and living on wigs. The last being the relaxing of my hair that I had been meticulously growing natural for two years after cutting off a previous over processed hair. The stylist that relaxed my hair two weeks ago was so distracted, talking through the time, she even forgot to put vaseline or some protective petroleum jelly around the perimeter of my scalp and I had to remind her to do it. She wasn't checking the time on the dark and lovely super relaxer i got nor did she do a strand test. The result was that my roots and mid- lenght was relaxed with a little burn to my scalp but my ends are like semi relaxed and still a bit natural. Its windy and semi cold from the passing winter. I didn't know I wasn't to comb the hair wet, thanks to you. However when I comb my hair, I experience shedding and some breaking, but don't know if it's the weather or the bad hair relaxing I got or natural because I learnt everyone loses an amount of hair each day which is normal. I don't know if I should relax the ends now so it would be uniform or if I should just keep doing protective styles (wigs works well with me though) till its about six months and then relax again. I wonder if I could get a reference from you about a good hair stylist that knows what to do to get my hair back and can relax my hair properly.
I honestly just want to cry. I have always had an afro and i then relaxed in grade 8 and i thought it was the best decision is had ever make but it realised lately that my hair was just shorter , it has so many split ends and i knew no one that would cut off my split ends so i kept them like that. Now whilst watching this video i slightly pulled my hair as she said to see if it should break offf and it did😭😭😞😭😞 i might have to go for the big chop. I'm so scared because i literally relaxed this this Sunday 😭😭I've always wanted long hair and it thought it was getting there but now the process has just been reversed and wow i am so hurt.😭😭😌😌😌😌
don’t worry darling it will be alright! do what makes you feel comfortable and confident! i recommend putting your hair in protective styles for now and cut back on straightening (if you’re straightening) ❤️❤️
I went to a salon in December for the touch up of my roots and this lady ran the relaxer all through my hair even the relaxed bits and I still haven’t recovered 😩😩😩. Since then I’ve just been protective styling and I’m just letting my hair grow out for one year before I cut off the over processed parts
I was natural for 4 years and I recently relaxed my hair at home. My ends feel really fried like a crunchy feeling. What do you recommend to change the outcome? Even when I deep condition with the same products I’ve used over the four years it still has that crunch feeling.
Style Domination no. I let it air dry. I used a flat iron for the first time in many years three days ago. But I was neglecting my hair when it was natural so maybe it was already damaged and the perm just added more damage maybe??
Wow! This was very very informative. I haven't had a relaxer in 13 months, and I keep hearing this voice in my head to have a big Chop and start over 😢😢. I DON'T WANT TO. I am waiting for when I am emotionally ready, and then do it. For now, my hair is thicker and stronger at the roots another thinner ends. .... hmmm. By the way, this middle part bun looks great on you😊
I have a question: My relaxer creme came with instructions to leave it on my hair for 18 minutes. I left it on for 15 minutes, washed it out thoroughly. But now my hair is damaged. Have you heard of this before?
New here & old. I let a stylist talk me n2 using Silky El (reg strength but mild wld be even better with my old soft hair). I love how the relaxer makes my hair look & feel but... 4 the past 6 months, my hair has been coming out. On the left top side & front, it looks like I've been in a fight with my hair measuring 2-3 inches there but 12-inches every where else, lil pieces falling everywhere, even in the dogs water bowl 🥺. I just bought over a years supply of the entire line cause sa11y's closed in our area for like 400 miles so I'm stuck with all of this product. PLEASE HELP 😭😭😭
I have a question. What can I do by unter-processed hair? The last times I used extra strength...in November I started my hhj and I decided to your a regular relaxer. I put it on for 20 min. And now my new growth is still quite curly...maybe you have any tip for me 😌 Ps. I love your channel ♥️
Oh yea for me some places of my hair were still tight, so I had to apply the relaxer to those areas first , pre stretch your hair before relaxing, and last thing I had to do was use a big tooth comb on really tight areas.hope this helps
i relaxed my hair last night because my hair was nappy thick and i have been dealing with it for years now. so my sister applied the stuff before you relax it then she started relaxing it. i was nervous and exited and my hair was kinda a littel bit nappy when the white stuff was on my sster was panicing but she brushed it gently and it detangled! she washed it out it was soft and down and also i used "just for you" then she blow dryed it and it was longer then i expected. cause i was used to my hair curly and nappy. it was straight and soft and My sister applied minovial its a hair proudct after she braided it in 2 braids and it was nice :)
@@StyleDomination cool! and please let me know what you think even if you don't try it, let me know about the ingredients...super new to my hair journey so would totally love feedback from someone who knows about ingredients and stuff
I went to the best hair salon where I’m from and the lady relaxed my hair and didn’t oil around my face or anything .. there’s a bad burn on my scalp and it’s taking forever to dry up .. the sides of my hair broke off and its extremely thin and spacey
I made the mistake of overprocessing by pushing it all to the limit by putting some relaxer on my hair...which I've done a couple of times before in the past but this time for some reason my hair just started coming out in huge balls and lumps with each combing or brushing and I'd literally cry every time I had to flush it down the toilet...I didn't understand it because as I've stated earlier I have placed some onto my already relaxed hair...also prior to it popping off tremendously I noticed it wouldn't hold any product...I would use styling gel to try and put it up into a ball...you know a lil protective style along with a lil spritz but the style would not hold...it would always resort back to its gummy like state...I'm now just refraining from heat and perming and is keeping my hair braided and I also make sure to keep my scalp greased with black castor oil and peppermint oil atleast once a week and I also keep a leave in conditioner with water inside a spray bottle that I use once a week to keep my dry brittle and gummy hair moisturized....I also ended up doing a big chop because it was either that or watch it continuously be ripped out by the comb furthering the split ends damage...I haven't permed since March and see a little progress not much but patience is the key so I'm waiting to see how this goes...I'm taking care of my hair way more seriously now...it takes forever to see any smidgen of new growth but I will keep it going...Also if you have any regimens using oils remember to get a nice clarifying shampoo to get rid of the buildup from your hair and scalp... I just want my hair back...I was the one at time that got complimented on my hair and also was told that they wish they had hair like mine but here it is totally damaged and having to start completely over from scratch...Wish me luck on my journey!
i over processed my hair recently and my hair was just falling out too. i cut my ends and stuff but i’m scared to wet my hair cause it would fall off in clumps. when i brush it, a little falls out but i don’t wanna wash my hair im scared it’s gonna fall out
@@gigim7401 find you a good care routine with oils and conditioners and stay consistent and with some patience you'd see some results but just find a routine that works for you and remember while using a sealant oil make sure to use a moisturizing oil to balance it all out...I did my research between Google and UA-cam and found a routine that works for me and my hair has grown and gotten quite thicker...Castor oil...Regular or black will most definitely thicken your hair...
IF YOUR HAIR IS OVER PROCESSED YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CUT IT. YOU ONLY NEED TO TREAT IT. DO NOT LISTEN AND CUT YOUR HAIR. MY HAIR WAS OVER PROCESSED DRY LIMP FELL OUT YOU SHOULD SEE MY HAIR NOW. DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR PEOPLE TREAT YOUR OVER PROCESSED HAIR. I RELAX MY OWN HAIR. YOU SHOULD SAY THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU WOULD DO. BUT NOT NECESSARILY CORRECT OR WORKS
Used natural aloe for about 1 month and a half to bring back moisture and cure the burn along with castor oil shea moisture with it covered with a silk wrap. My hair is now longer than it was before!
@@gigim7401 wash your hair, keep it moisturized at all times. You can use shea moisture's or any oil moisturize lotion that work for your hair "African pride olive miracle moisturizer lotion is one also get some organic cold press castor oil.. moisturize and oil daily.. never go to sleep without a silk tie/wrap/covering on your head the covering prevents friction for your hair and keeps it from breaking
Gonna be some serious work for me when I get my relaxer this weekend. Lockdown and depression had cause my hair to break so badly but still. Trim gonna be needed and I’ll be taking iron tablets and biotin as doctor told me being anemic plays a part
Hi...i once relaxed my hair but as time when one,d tip of my hair became weak,my nape hair was thinning out and was that the relaxer was too harsh for my hair but I didn't know about taking care of relaxed hair and all so I cut it and started natural until I could turn back to relaxed hair. I've relaxed only twice nw and my hair is due but d problem I have is with my nape hair which burnt then and nw I want to grow it back but it looks thinned out with d natural hair at the root almost to d mid of d relaxed hair which is a little bit pass my neck. Pls help cause I'm working on growing it nw and I have never trimmed. Didn't know that too.
Okay I'm transitioning because of hair salon over-processed my hair with color. I have 9 in of growth and I cut 2 inch of perm hair. I currently wear a wig and was told the wig will damage your hair. Yes it has on the side to the left and to the right where the wig is fitting is starting to rub on my hair. Need help what else can I do
Very infotmative ..are you a journalist. protein treatment do not do well for my hair. I tried hot oil treatment but i think i will need to do a big chop😢😢😢
Question My hair was relaxed recently and the ends are really fuzzy but overall it looks like the cream was not processed properly is it okay for me to relax the entire hair again for my next relax day?
Thank you so much ❤️ I'ma kut it tomorrow like I will kut the whole back off plus the sides.i can't deal with this feeling of this rough soft greasy hair
Ok so is the hair over processed if when I sweat or get it wet my hair poofs? So I can mold it down and the hair will lay flat and stay that way but as soon as I sweat or the hair is not drenched so the water holds the hair down it just poofs and I have to wet it down again to mold it.
Hello maam i have a question can dark and lovely no lye work for a woman with damaged hair at all its dry af and dull too will it make her hair grow back at all thank u
I Lost my hair line after using relaxer ,much dry now I have 4cm new hair and I afraid to try it again can you give advice plz 😪 Any fevrable relaxer or all the same ?
Welp my hair was too damaged.... got a fade yesterday my 3rd time getting a fade! I could do absolutely nothing with it! It was the worst my hair has ever been
Hi I need help I did my one relaxing and I have the full system affirm normal kind the lavender color And it didn’t relaxe my hair whitch is 3b Can I repeat it soon I can not straight my hair because i need to wash my hair even with water only 3 times a week so I need it a little bouny and straight
I stopped having my hair relaxed for like two years and my hair was healthy and long! Recently I got it relaxed again and like it was good for a few months then it just fell apart and like I got depressed which I think made it worse and like I feel like relaxers are not for everyone and I think that I am one of them so like...I feel like I should just go back natural and is it possible to wash out relaxers because I really don't want to cut it lol any suggestions?
Unfortunately, relaxers don’t wash out. I’m curious as to your hair regimen since you said it was fine for a few months. Do you use a lot of heat or do a lot of blowouts? Do you brush and comb a lot? Do you have a moisturizing routine? Was there any overlapping in the relaxer touch up?
@@amateurastronomer9752 can you give me advice? i over processed my hair and when i was washing it , it started falling out. when it was dry it didn’t do it or fall out as much it was like a little bit of my hair. what do i do ? should i not wet my hair for a while ? like rn i can tun my fingers through and no hair will come out.
Literally looked up a video like this, not because I have relaxed hair or am planning to get it. But because I literally just saw a video of a stylist giving a client a "touch up". In which the clients hair look like typical very short, broken-off relaxed hair. She talked about I guess ,criticism she had on her channel. And how she has a license in cosmetology for the past 20+ years. And how she knows what she's doing. Meanwhile the woman with the short ,broken off relaxed hair. Getting a touch up. Is literally having her entire head covered in relaxer. She wasn't just relaxing the new growth. She was relaxing the already relaxed hair. I.E over processing. Then talked about it being chemicals doesn't matter. Cause the very water you drink has chemicals. Why do so many stylist do this???🤦🏽♀️
I just happened upon your channel. Great video and info!! I sadly have fallen into the over processed category. I am looking forward in trying out new line by Monat called Damage Repair Collection. It targets damage from over processing, heat damage... etc. I still need to cut my hair though and start fresh. Protective styles here I come!
I don’t know I’m scared to cut all my hair off My aunt yesterday relaxed my hair twice in a day first starting with a no lye relaxer then after another few hours she relaxed it with a strong relaxer. because she felt as if the relaxer didn’t work on my hair I’m scared any tips my hair actually feels hard and dry.
I’m sorry to say that relaxing your hair twice in a day is a HUGE NO NO. You should wait at least 8 WEEKS between relaxers, especially corrective relaxers!

Yes she does
You look like my favorite singer, Natalie Cole.
Omg!😳 Yes I see it! She's a cutie!😊

Thanks !i think i have shedding due to amenia ...i must check it!!😊
You’re welcome!!! Jeez - I suffer from low iron too. Food for thought!
@@StyleDomination I see what you did there
My hair fallen out lot at the back and my edges growing n falling out back and forth. I have anemia but this hair stylist think it's from my hair being over processed from a relaxer. Do you think it's the relaxer or my iron?
@@paneshadouglas218 that's been happening me too I have anemia also
Loved this! Personally I dont trust stylist with my hair, I do my relaxer at home and I retain a little over 6 Inches a year. Your hair looks so good btw!
Hey Ericka! That is AWESOME! Seriously! That is a subject I would like to tackle here on my UA-cam channel - What To Do When You Don't Trust Your Stylist. Thanks so much for your kind words! xoxox
“If your relaxed hair is over processed, that is bad news bears” 😂😂 I just subscribed
Bobbi Rose Hahahahahaha! Glad I could make ya laugh. Merry Christmas, luv! Love your gift of subscribing!! 🎁
No no mil
😁same
I had to cut the relaxed hair off and it was honestly the best thing ever.
Good for you, babe! So glad it worked out!! xo
*'Under-processed'* hair in the middle of 2 good relaxers is also a killer! In fact I think under processing is waaay worse than over-processed. (Talking from experience)
Yes it is. It causes breakage
My hair is under-processed and its breaking alot but I can't do anything about it because I watched a video that said you have to wait before trying to correct it...
Yup !
@@yasminwilliams2837I know this is a long stretch, but if you possibly ever see this. Can you remember how long you had to wait? I have underprocessed texturized hair now and I desperately need to relax it. Can’t seem to find a time range to wait
Hi Dom!I don't want t hijack your channel but EVERYTHING you said is spot on. Yourself, Colleenmariet and Hairlista have all helped me so much in the past 12 months. I had to turn to UA-cam after a bad relaxer and then too much protein (don't get me started on that!). You also HAVE TO train your stylist. Unless you have ridiculously thick hair, the relaxer should not stay in more than 15 minutes...and make sure they work fast! No watching Telemundo and/or helping their kid with homework over the phone while applying your relaxer. Remember YOU are the paying client! And coat the ends of your hair before you go to your stylist...use Vaseline and slick it back in a ponytail if necessary. A really good protein treatment for severely damaged hair is the nexus emergency polymedic reconstructor but please, please, please make sure that you wash that sucker out completely WITH SHAMPOO and then follow up with a deep moisturizing conditioner (NO MORE PROTEIN AFTER THAT TREATMENT IS NECESSARY). And get regular trims. Let go of the idea of LONG hair...a really cute cut is so 'sexy, sleek and spicy' (Sexy Chocolate - *mic drop*!) I got a really cut short bob (similar to Gabrielle Union's new do) and I loved it more than I thought I would. I could say that my hair literally sprung to life after cutting off a few inches of damaged ends. I like is much that I plan on keeping it for a while. Again, thanks for sharing. Be blessed! xoxo
Liam - I seriously LOVE YOU. Your comments are awesome! I agree 100%. I got lucky with Gloria the hairstylist. She watches me like a hawk and is so good at what she does. She also explains the process as she's working or tells why she's switched hair products, etc. etc. I've learned so much from her. It's funny, when I let go of being obsessed with having long hair, my hair grew! LOL! xoxoxoxoxxo
And I/we LOVE YOU! Gloria IS a blessing (now clone her damn it and send her clone to NYC :)). But seriously, a really good stylist is key to a successful hair journey (i.e., if you're not confident enough to relax/texlax yourself at home). So thanks again to wonderful youtubers such as yourself who help to educate so many people! Somethings are common sense - like if your head feels like its on fire during a relaxer then WASH IT OUT!! - but there are other tips, product information and simply sharing experiences on what to do, what NOT to do on these platforms, that is such a huge benefit and I am very grateful. Much love from The Big Apple... Muah!
Thank you for this
@@regnurse_aisha Sharing is caring! ;)
As a high schooler that doesn’t have much of a back bone, cutting my hair is only going to remind me of the nightmares I had when I first got it chopped. I was heavily bullied cause of my hair and when we got my hair cut people still made fun of me.
I don’t talk back to people or tell them off so I just bottle it in. I’m personally fine with having short hair but I don’t want to be made fun of anymore.
S L E E P Y P A S T E L S Girl - you better grow a back bone!!! You’ll need it because life will only get harder if you don’t learn NOW to stick up for yourself. For now, care for the hair you already have and cut off the damaged parts when you’re ready. Hang in there, and don’t suffer alone if the bullying continues. Seek help from people you trust. 🤗
Get a lace front or extensions until it grows back❤❤
Be kind to yourself. You are loved. You are important. You are enough...just the way you are! What is your talent? Something you do that fills your spirit with joy and nurtures your soul? Do that and find a way to earn a living doing that special thing you do! Find your inner strength and build on that! You are awesome!!!!
they bully you because you allow it. i promise if you speak up they'll stop their shit

I have to fire my current hairstylist and I'm so sad about it. I love her but she's keeping my hair from retaining length. She overlaps my relaxer every time she does my hair and gives me a hard time about relaxing every 12 weeks, which in my opinion is better for my and my hair than relaxing every 8 weeks. I also get so much breakage whenever she blows my hair out which I don't even understand because that doesn't happen when I blowdry my own hair?? I'm nervous about trying a new stylist right now so I'm going to self-relax with the help of a family member while I search reviews high and low. I'm around the Boston area if anyone sees this and knows of a good hairstylist I can go to!
Oh no! But yeah - sounds like she has to go. Google hairstylists in Boston who can relax hair. Their must be a few good ones!! If not, I'd hop on the train and head to NYC to see Mo Knows Hair! She's amazing. Here is her contact info: moknowshair.com/appointments/
Same here love I been knowing her since middle school she's been my stylist for 4 yrs now and I get my hair trimmed twice a year , Perm it once a year, deep condition n protective styles throughout the year, thick hair runs and my family for which I learned to appreciate now that I'm a adult. Since going to her which is once a year for my bday 'I pamper myself yearly ' it's always thick n long before I get my perm , deep condition, ends trimmed by her after leaving the salon my hair feels thinner after a few days I have to deep conditioned again and every day is like hair rehab for about 2 months I researched my hair which is 4C and have been on hair journey for 10yrs now I know what products to use and not , set backs and come ups but I managed to keep it healthy n thick, I discuss this with her each time smh she has the same hair type as mine!It's going to be hard but I gotta do what's best for me and my hair I work too hard for this 4C almost tailbone length I got this and so do you!
@@StyleDomination I'm in NYC!!! Will for sure check her out.
Do you have an email address? I will send you to my hair stylist in Boston. She has gifted hands. I moved to Philadelphia a year ago and my hair started falling out. Never had an issue with her back home.
@@CosmoMakeupgurl hi! Who’s your stylist? I’m in Boston
I believe that it requires patience in order for you to keep your hair healthy. I find most people I know with very little patience and a lot of self hate for their own hair. A lot of times they neglect their hair because of it. You must realize that unless you start to love your hair you will nurture and give it the TLC it needs. Then you will see your best results ever!
Danyellg not really. My daughter hates doing her hair. She lets it do whatever...but she loves her hair. She had 3bc hair..some people are just not into hair
These were great and very important tips! I have never had over-processed hair in the past I did go to a stylist the first two was just cutting on my hair every two weeks every time I went in, the third one she really helped me out a lot as in talking about oils deep conditioning hot oil treatments scalp massages, and then I just went on UA-cam and did the rest of my research. The only thing I can say about over-processed hair or damaged hair is to really deep condition every single week and also add hot oil treatments as well and keep the ends moisturized and sealed. Thank you so much your hair is very healthy and I love it God bless you🙏🌹
Thank you so much, Babe! I love how your channel is coming along! Good for you! Yeah - we are fortunate to have found great stylists who actually care about our hair. I'm currently trying to do a full month of no heat on my hair. I feel my hair could use the break. I'll be filming a video on my process - so far, so good! I've started doing the hot oil treatments more regularly and boy - my hair is loving it! xoxoxox
This is been a year long but hopefully you can answer me :). You mentioned a deep conditioner weekly, but do I deep condition with protein conditioner or moisturizer conditioner since it’s damaged ? Thanks for the rest of the tips.

@@anesunembaware6704 What is protein conditioner and what does it do?
Omg you described all my hair problems 😫 I was trying to avoid the big chop but after watching your tutorial I guess I have no choice
Roux porosity control is a must have when trying to fix overprocessed hair.
Everytime I wash my hair a lotta hair comes out I want to do the big chop but mom won't let me 😒
I thought it was only me 😪
my aunt just over processed thee hell out of my hair, I want to cry!
Aphogee. Protein and moisturizer. I'm sorry sweetie. Hope it gets back to gorgeous sooner than later
Peaches Frandel thank you darling, I really appreciate it ❤️
My cousin mess up my hair
Hairdresser must have used a super strength after running out of the mild relaxer I brought which I should have just put in myself. After washing my hair I discovered it was tangled, spongy, slimy dry, and 4 years later still very itchy. I had to get it shaved off and my hair is still different textures and lengths, very short and barely able to grow so I can not style it at all. I have tried just about everything but am still having to resort to wigs or hats and searching for a miracle at this time. I will look into your recommendations.
Have you tried going natural?
Hello everyone! I recently experienced getting a over processed perm. My hair was 80% natural, which I did not know and I got a relaxer. Fast forward my hair has been shedding tremendously. I have decided to get the big chop ✂️. I am very nervous, but I think this is the only option for me. 🤞🏽
I relaxed my hair at home and it started to break so I had to cut the ends off . Right now it's at shoulder length so I'll definitely be taking your Tips 🙂 thank you
I did my own relaxer 3 months ago and oh boy did i pay a hefty price. I dont trust hairstylist but i go to them just for relaxer and to clip my ends and we go over how much to clip. Other than that i waah and condition my own hair and it is growing back and its looking better.
You are the first channel I have come across that talks about the health of relaxed hair.
So, glad I found your channel.
Thank you!
Welcome back! I miss you so much
I've been here, girl! Thank you for watching, luv!! xoxox
You look like Pam( Tichina Arnold) from the 90s show Martin she was my favorite character❤❤❤❤
Definitely see the resemblance!
She sure does!
You need to start standing up after you are done with your videos to show us what you are currently wearing. Your wardrobe is off the chain. I love the yellow shirt!!!
Thank you, Marie! I've filmed two fashion videos and they are coming up in the coming weeks! Jeez. At this rate, I'll have to start posting twice a week!

Very true!!

I've always enjoyed your videos! They are informative with practical information. My stylists (of 10 years) over processed my hair a few weeks ago and it completely broke off in the back. This wasn't the first time, but absolutely the worst breakage I've had in a very, very long time. After the shock and crying; I decided to, once again, take over relaxing my own hair. I'd prefer to pay someone to do it, but I can't keep dealing with my hair growing and someone else causing it to break. So the cut has happened and now I'm just researching and making sure I do what I can to prevent this from happening again.
Hahahahaha I chuckled so hard when you said “like hay” because that’s my hair all day long. It isn’t funny but it is. I honestly can’t wait to start over with this MESS I’ve got going on.
Thanks for the tips.
My hair isn’t relaxed but i had bleached it around November. My stylist says it’s over processed but my curl pattern was fine after it was bleached. Fast forward now it’s a different story. I’m not sure what happened. I haven’t been doing masks like i should and i do wet my hair everyday. My stylist suggests that i should chop it all off but i don’t feel like it’s necessary... i’m not sure what to do😭
Destyni Blaskowski protein treatment and try a higher end deep conditioner
Same here! I just had mine bleached as part of a BOTCHED color process from a stylist I THOUGHT was seasoned. Now, I am in the mix fixing it with in home protein treatments, deep conditioning and hot oil treatments. What did you end up doing?
@@patricapricemckenzie What kind of protein and hot oil treatments? Thank you.

My hair is overprocessed badly I don't wanna cut it but oh well I have to
You may not have to cut it all. Get it assessed by a stylist you trust and see what she says...
It made me happy to see 999 likes change into 1K keep up the good work!
I started relaxing my hair a few months ago. Theres barely any salons in my city that do relaxers anymore and the one girl I went to overpricesssed some of my hair so I started doing it myself at home. It's been about 6 months and yesterday I asked my friend to help me do a touch up I said "only do an inch or less" and she did my entire head😐 so I guess I'm gonna have to cut it because my hair is completely damaged now
My sister did that when I asked her to help me re touch my relaxer. I couldn’t believe a woman in her 20,s who had been relaxing for years had not read the box or listened when I said roots only
My hair turned brown over processed
YES I HAVE CUT MINE. STARTING OVER AGAIN! SO TRUE... THANKS
me too
What lipstick/lip gloss are you wearing? It's beautiful!
I have spent hundreds of dollars on different products to stop the shedding and breakage of my hair which is uber thick & about bra strap length to find out I had thyroid cancer. My thyroid disease was the culprit. It’s not always the relaxer.
Tarnisher Mack I am so sorry. I have mentioned in many videos that you should see you doctor of you are really struggling with your hair and nothing seems to be working. How are you doing?
Style Domination I am do much better they removed the tumors did radiation but one of the side effects of thyroid disease is the excessive shedding so at least I know what the problem is and I take supplements. My hair is growing it’s just the shedding that’s unnerving. But soooooo many of your tips have helped and had a positive impact and I sincerely thank you🥰
I’m finally natural after 2 years but I’m so ready for a relaxer. The only reason I’m contemplating it is that I deliver the mail. I’m worried about the intense heat bearing down on my head. I don’t plan on putting heat in my after shampooing just sealing and a good leave in conditioner. It’s just being in the hit sun that I’m worried about.
I like the way you did your brows in this video...very soft and natural....i love olaplex!!!! You will like it
Thank you! My eyebrows - sigh. What a nightmare. They are so coarse and as I get older, so sparse! They are getting micro laser soon! Just got my Olaplex. Excited!
@@StyleDomination i am obsessed with brow..mine have always been like baby hairs and thin... i am seriously thinking about a transplant...also do a review on olaplex too.
I left the relaxer too long on my hair. It was coming out in chunks. What to do in this case with this badly damaged hair?
Hi Style dominination, I hope I addressed you appropriately. Thank you for this video, it was really insightful. However, I do really need help. I relaxed my extremely thick 4c natural hair about 2 weeks ago and I'm both disappointed for the second time and don't know what to do next. I live in Manchester, UK and can't seem to find a good hair stylist here. It's been from one horrible story to another till I had to settle with making cornrows myself and living on wigs. The last being the relaxing of my hair that I had been meticulously growing natural for two years after cutting off a previous over processed hair. The stylist that relaxed my hair two weeks ago was so distracted, talking through the time, she even forgot to put vaseline or some protective petroleum jelly around the perimeter of my scalp and I had to remind her to do it. She wasn't checking the time on the dark and lovely super relaxer i got nor did she do a strand test. The result was that my roots and mid- lenght was relaxed with a little burn to my scalp but my ends are like semi relaxed and still a bit natural. Its windy and semi cold from the passing winter. I didn't know I wasn't to comb the hair wet, thanks to you. However when I comb my hair, I experience shedding and some breaking, but don't know if it's the weather or the bad hair relaxing I got or natural because I learnt everyone loses an amount of hair each day which is normal. I don't know if I should relax the ends now so it would be uniform or if I should just keep doing protective styles (wigs works well with me though) till its about six months and then relax again. I wonder if I could get a reference from you about a good hair stylist that knows what to do to get my hair back and can relax my hair properly.
Thank you for these wonderful tips. I’m currently relaxed. Trying to find a good protective style to stretch my relaxer to 12 weeks 🤔
I honestly just want to cry. I have always had an afro and i then relaxed in grade 8 and i thought it was the best decision is had ever make but it realised lately that my hair was just shorter , it has so many split ends and i knew no one that would cut off my split ends so i kept them like that. Now whilst watching this video i slightly pulled my hair as she said to see if it should break offf and it did😭😭😞😭😞 i might have to go for the big chop. I'm so scared because i literally relaxed this this Sunday 😭😭I've always wanted long hair and it thought it was getting there but now the process has just been reversed and wow i am so hurt.😭😭😌😌😌😌
don’t worry darling it will be alright! do what makes you feel comfortable and confident! i recommend putting your hair in protective styles for now and cut back on straightening (if you’re straightening) ❤️❤️
I went to a salon in December for the touch up of my roots and this lady ran the relaxer all through my hair even the relaxed bits and I still haven’t recovered 😩😩😩.
Since then I’ve just been protective styling and I’m just letting my hair grow out for one year before I cut off the over processed parts
I was natural for 4 years and I recently relaxed my hair at home. My ends feel really fried like a crunchy feeling. What do you recommend to change the outcome? Even when I deep condition with the same products I’ve used over the four years it still has that crunch feeling.
FREE FORM Hi there! What do you do after washing and deep conditioning? Do you use heat tools? If so, sounds like you’ll have to give them a break.
Style Domination no. I let it air dry. I used a flat iron for the first time in many years three days ago. But I was neglecting my hair when it was natural so maybe it was already damaged and the perm just added more damage maybe??
Wow! This was very very informative. I haven't had a relaxer in 13 months, and I keep hearing this voice in my head to have a big Chop and start over 😢😢. I DON'T WANT TO. I am waiting for when I am emotionally ready, and then do it. For now, my hair is thicker and stronger at the roots another thinner ends. .... hmmm.
By the way, this middle part bun looks great on you😊
dorcas glaydor Thanks for your kind words! Keep growing your hair but eventually, you should chop the relaxed ends off. Do you want to stay natural?
@@StyleDomination just until I can get the confidence to go to a salon
I have a question: My relaxer creme came with instructions to leave it on my hair for 18 minutes. I left it on for 15 minutes, washed it out thoroughly. But now my hair is damaged. Have you heard of this before?
Yes! What is the name (the brand of the relaxer) and the strength you used?
You needed to relax your roots not the rest of you hair
I have a 4c high porosity hair and I get wounds anytime I relax my hair without my hair relaxing 😔😔😔.....
I don't know what to do
New here & old. I let a stylist talk me n2 using Silky El (reg strength but mild wld be even better with my old soft hair). I love how the relaxer makes my hair look & feel but... 4 the past 6 months, my hair has been coming out. On the left top side & front, it looks like I've been in a fight with my hair measuring 2-3 inches there but 12-inches every where else, lil pieces falling everywhere, even in the dogs water bowl 🥺. I just bought over a years supply of the entire line cause sa11y's closed in our area for like 400 miles so I'm stuck with all of this product. PLEASE HELP 😭😭😭
How pretty and glowy (is that even a word?) you look? That's what a couple licks in ear will do for ya! :)
Hahaha! Sigh - "Reese is soooo in love with me." - said in exasperated voice. I LOVE THAT DOG SO MUCH.
I have a question. What can I do by unter-processed hair? The last times I used extra strength...in November I started my hhj and I decided to your a regular relaxer. I put it on for 20 min. And now my new growth is still quite curly...maybe you have any tip for me 😌
Ps. I love your channel ♥️
Oh yea for me some places of my hair were still tight, so I had to apply the relaxer to those areas first , pre stretch your hair before relaxing, and last thing I had to do was use a big tooth comb on really tight areas.hope this helps
so glad to see diversity in black american women, i didn’t know people like u existed on youtube••• subscribing‼️
Hey Girl , love all your videos. You were so right about protien over load. I calm down with that.
What is protein and what does it do?
i relaxed my hair last night because my hair was nappy thick and i have been dealing with it for years now.
so my sister applied the stuff before you relax it then she started relaxing it. i was nervous and exited and my hair was kinda a littel bit nappy when the white stuff was on my sster was panicing but she brushed it gently and it detangled! she washed it out it was soft and down and also i used "just for you"
then she blow dryed it and it was longer then i expected. cause i was used to my hair curly and nappy. it was straight and soft and My sister applied minovial its a hair proudct after she braided it in 2 braids and it was nice :)
Awesome video as always! Have you tried the Brazilian Butter Damage Reverse Treatment by Mahogany Naturals?
Thank you! Ooooh! No, but it sounds lovely! I'll look it up!

@@StyleDomination No problem 🙂.
I went to the best hair salon where I’m from and the lady relaxed my hair and didn’t oil around my face or anything .. there’s a bad burn on my scalp and it’s taking forever to dry up .. the sides of my hair broke off and its extremely thin and spacey
I’m transforming 😫
I made the mistake of overprocessing by pushing it all to the limit by putting some relaxer on my hair...which I've done a couple of times before in the past but this time for some reason my hair just started coming out in huge balls and lumps with each combing or brushing and I'd literally cry every time I had to flush it down the toilet...I didn't understand it because as I've stated earlier I have placed some onto my already relaxed hair...also prior to it popping off tremendously I noticed it wouldn't hold any product...I would use styling gel to try and put it up into a ball...you know a lil protective style along with a lil spritz but the style would not hold...it would always resort back to its gummy like state...I'm now just refraining from heat and perming and is keeping my hair braided and I also make sure to keep my scalp greased with black castor oil and peppermint oil atleast once a week and I also keep a leave in conditioner with water inside a spray bottle that I use once a week to keep my dry brittle and gummy hair moisturized....I also ended up doing a big chop because it was either that or watch it continuously be ripped out by the comb furthering the split ends damage...I haven't permed since March and see a little progress not much but patience is the key so I'm waiting to see how this goes...I'm taking care of my hair way more seriously now...it takes forever to see any smidgen of new growth but I will keep it going...Also if you have any regimens using oils remember to get a nice clarifying shampoo to get rid of the buildup from your hair and scalp...
I just want my hair back...I was the one at time that got complimented on my hair and also was told that they wish they had hair like mine but here it is totally damaged and having to start completely over from scratch...Wish me luck on my journey!
i over processed my hair recently and my hair was just falling out too. i cut my ends and stuff but i’m scared to wet my hair cause it would fall off in clumps. when i brush it, a little falls out but i don’t wanna wash my hair im scared it’s gonna fall out
@@gigim7401 find you a good care routine with oils and conditioners and stay consistent and with some patience you'd see some results but just find a routine that works for you and remember while using a sealant oil make sure to use a moisturizing oil to balance it all out...I did my research between Google and UA-cam and found a routine that works for me and my hair has grown and gotten quite thicker...Castor oil...Regular or black will most definitely thicken your hair...

How long should you wait to relax if your hair is over processed
Unfortunately I have to blow dry my hair esp when the new growth comes, it's difficult to come thru once it starts growing out
Quick Question, how often do you Dominic, or anybody here go for treatments at the hair salon? Not relaxer retouch but hair treatments? Thanks
Hi...i once relaxed my hair but as time when one,d tip of my hair became weak,my nape hair was thinning out and was that the relaxer was too harsh for my hair but I didn't know about taking care of relaxed hair and all so I cut it and started natural until I could turn back to relaxed hair. I've relaxed only twice nw and my hair is due but d problem I have is with my nape hair which burnt then and nw I want to grow it back but it looks thinned out with d natural hair at the root almost to d mid of d relaxed hair which is a little bit pass my neck.
Pls help cause I'm working on growing it nw and I have never trimmed. Didn't know that too.
Yeah I had over processed relaxers all my childhood and now I'm scared to try and get relaxers again
Totally fair. I get it. Stick to whatever isis working for you
everything u say my hair is I am scared
Protein treatment and pree poo worked for me.
Okay I'm transitioning because of hair salon over-processed my hair with color. I have 9 in of growth and I cut 2 inch of perm hair. I currently wear a wig and was told the wig will damage your hair. Yes it has on the side to the left and to the right where the wig is fitting is starting to rub on my hair. Need help what else can I do
Very infotmative ..are you a journalist. protein treatment do not do well for my hair. I tried hot oil treatment but i think i will need to do a big chop😢😢😢
You are a beautiful woman. Greetings from the UK.
Question
My hair was relaxed recently and the ends are really fuzzy but overall it looks like the cream was not processed properly is it okay for me to relax the entire hair again for my next relax day?
Thank you so much ❤️ I'ma kut it tomorrow like I will kut the whole back off plus the sides.i can't deal with this feeling of this rough soft greasy hair
Did you not say that your relaxed hair is not over processed? So how can you honestly answer a question about over damaged hair that is been relaxed?
Just cut my hair after this video😭😩❤
Me too girl but we gonna be ok!
Ok so is the hair over processed if when I sweat or get it wet my hair poofs? So I can mold it down and the hair will lay flat and stay that way but as soon as I sweat or the hair is not drenched so the water holds the hair down it just poofs and I have to wet it down again to mold it.

I can not straight my hair because i need to wash my hair even with water only 3 times a week so I need it a little bouny and straight
That means I am under process
I stopped having my hair relaxed for like two years and my hair was healthy and long! Recently I got it relaxed again and like it was good for a few months then it just fell apart and like I got depressed which I think made it worse and like I feel like relaxers are not for everyone and I think that I am one of them so like...I feel like I should just go back natural and is it possible to wash out relaxers because I really don't want to cut it lol any suggestions?
Unfortunately, relaxers don’t wash out. I’m curious as to your hair regimen since you said it was fine for a few months. Do you use a lot of heat or do a lot of blowouts? Do you brush and comb a lot? Do you have a moisturizing routine? Was there any overlapping in the relaxer touch up?
@@amateurastronomer9752 can you give me advice? i over processed my hair and when i was washing it , it started falling out. when it was dry it didn’t do it or fall out as much it was like a little bit of my hair. what do i do ? should i not wet my hair for a while ? like rn i can tun my fingers through and no hair will come out.
Thank you. Very helpful
Literally looked up a video like this, not because I have relaxed hair or am planning to get it.
But because I literally just saw a video of a stylist giving a client a "touch up". In which the clients hair look like typical very short, broken-off relaxed hair.
She talked about I guess ,criticism she had on her channel. And how she has a license in cosmetology for the past 20+ years. And how she knows what she's doing.
Meanwhile the woman with the short ,broken off relaxed hair. Getting a touch up. Is literally having her entire head covered in relaxer. She wasn't just relaxing the new growth. She was relaxing the already relaxed hair. I.E over processing.
Then talked about it being chemicals doesn't matter. Cause the very water you drink has chemicals.
Why do so many stylist do this???🤦🏽♀️
I just happened upon your channel. Great video and info!! I sadly have fallen into the over processed category. I am looking forward in trying out new line by Monat called Damage Repair Collection. It targets damage from over processing, heat damage... etc. I still need to cut my hair though and start fresh. Protective styles here I come!
Thank you for sharing this information🌹
my head got wounded it's small tho, is it normal?
I'm scared to brush my hair because it keeps falling 😐
Oh, I just finished the video :( I guess I have to cut...

Great Tips
I don’t know I’m scared to cut all my hair off My aunt yesterday relaxed my hair twice in a day first starting with a no lye relaxer then after another few hours she relaxed it with a strong relaxer. because she felt as if the relaxer didn’t work on my hair I’m scared any tips my hair actually feels hard and dry.
I’m sorry to say that relaxing your hair twice in a day is a HUGE NO NO. You should wait at least 8 WEEKS between relaxers, especially corrective relaxers!
@@StyleDomination i told her that but she refused to listen now my hair just feels damaged
I have to cut my hair noooooo
I know it's sad and even a little traumatic, but it will be worth it in the end if it's really damaged. Keep your chin up, babe! xo
Put your vídeo in português ,please .thanks
Great video.
