In my 60’s and have been both natural and relaxed for decades as I do whatever works best at that time in my life. Today I’m relaxed. Never worn wigs, weaves, braids etc in my life. I wear my wear out daily except for the occasional bun. It works for me! At this age I have to enjoy it now. I save nothing for later or a special occasion. Every day is a special occasion because I woke up. 👍🏾. Great tips!

Thanks so much for sharing with us Val, I have been relaxed for years. There are so many videos for natural hair but very few for relaxed hair that we can relate to. Please don't think I'm bashing natural ladies ya'll. I was natural for the first 13 years of my life, relaxers just work better for me.

I enjoyed my natural hair journey, but with everything going on in the world I found I just didn't have the mental or physical energy to keep up the lengthy routine I had in place. I'm super grateful that being natural taught me to care for my hair , so now I'm in a better position to learn how to care for relaxed hair- something I never learned before while growing up. Looking forward to this new journey & super grateful to have found your channel.♡

Yeah … I feel you on the double heat. I have a blow dryer & a flat iron but usually when I do my weekly washing and conditioning.. I usually blow dry my hair then put my hair in a loose bun or ponytail… I have a $200 flat iron & I barely use it. I don’t see the need plus blow drying AND flat ironing that’s too much work… also I workout a lot so ain’t no point in doing all of that when I workout 5x per week 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mrsx7944]

I wish I didn't need to do both but blow drying just doesn't cut it. Especially if I'm stretching. Buy using heat protectant (blow dry serum) has helped.

I texturized my 13 years hair for the first time a week ago leaving it in her hair for about 7mins total, it did losing the curl but it's not as straight as we would like, it puffy.

[@dc2611]

So I used a Lye relaxer for the first time today, I love it. I have fine hair but my middle gets real thick when my new growth comes in. When I was natural back in 2019 to 2020, my hair grew but not pass my shoulders. Once I started relaxing every 3 months or longer in 2020, my hair is now almost arm pit length. I deep condition like crazy and wash my hair weekly. I use a hair bond, not Olaplex, I can't think of the name right now, I went blank, lol, but Ulta sells it, that helped my hair with the growth as well. I drink plenty of Core water as well. I love your tips.

[@msrawynn]

Great video, very informative. My hair has become more and more gray but along with my hair growing longer, my hair along my crown is becoming very thin. Could be due to health reasons or vitamin deficiencies. The only time heat touches my hair is during retouches but I’m thinking of foregoing both blow drying and flat ironing my next visit to see if it’ll make a difference; will opt to air dry instead.

[@Tasiaevansss]

One thing I notice that you do that I don’t is smoothing the relaxer through the new growth with a comb. Applicator brush only for my stylist and that keeps my strands thick and nice!

[@mrsx7944]

Thats because she puts protectant on her ends.

[@Tasiaevansss]

@@mrsx7944 I’m not talking about the ends, I’m talking about the new growth she’s relaxing. Using a comb to smooth takes out too much texture and makes it straight even when wet

[@giftd18]

For a tip if you don’t want to use harsh dye on your hair then I would recommend using henna dye for your grays. It’s natural, safe for your scalp and it actually strengthens your hair. It will make your grays somewhat between a dark brown to a light auburn color depending on application, and will make your hair a deep reddish-brownish color but only really visible in the sunlight (bc of your dark strands).

Texlax is for me. I wear wigs due to time. Take it off when home. 8 weeks between relaxers. No braids or twists no flat ironing just smoothing with a warm pressing comb. Placed in a back twist supported by a nonbrakage rubber band. No combing for three days. No breakage seen. Good hair growth. Trim as needed, but not cut just dusting. My hair grows slowly about less than half inch a month. But it is thick. Less see thru. Shoulder length. Use bjco. 3 time a week. Wash with conditioner. Silk scarf at night. Then be content with the process

I'm relaxed as well, long protective hair styles work for me, I don't do hot treatments, I'll use keratins and proteins as well, I also do lye relaxers too. I shampoo in the sink, but I think I'll try the shower again. I do relaxers from 10 - 20 weeks, depending on the season, I double heat because blow drying isn't it without a bristle brush, but air drying takes way to long for me. I don't comb in the shower either, but I only comb once per day or use my hand to detangle for the rest of that day. I also comb my hair the day of my relaxer because I am tender headed, so if my natural hair isn't detangled, I'm feeling that pain. I also don't dye my hair or self trim.

Hi love your hair well mine is up to 4 years and it is not growing at all the length is shoulder length and my back hair doesn't grow at all

[@0tismadaline]

Yea we should do listen to our hair and do what's best for it,thanks for sharing dear

[@Ade_kicthen22]

Yes you are right I just cut off some inches from my hair today because I want healthy over length

[@SilentReader2]

Agreed!

[@whatshotnewandupcoming7484]

I colour my hair black because I have a lot of gray hairs. I've tried the semi permanent hair colour but when you relax your hair it makes your hair orange until you colour it again. I've gone back to permanent black colour and even when I relax it, it stays black. How do you protect your hair against the harsh chemicals in colouring when you're already using chemicals to relax your hair? And how often would you colour your hair because those greys grow fast?

[@shernetbrown4883]

yup I like braids but I feel I get more damage than anything, but my hair been flourishing since i start following you

[@HairliciousInc]

Thank you Shernet for the support💕

It’s been twenty weeks since my last relaxer at the end of this month I’ll relax it.. i havent’t used any heat for seven years now I’ve learned the hard way. My hair is healthy because of it… I dry my hair thoroughly with a t-shirt and let it dry naturally…

[@NiaBalcer]

I went 6 months without touching up (not by choice) and it wasn't too bad, thank God.

[@HairliciousInc]

Wow. Did you use any long term protective styles during that time?

[@NiaBalcer]

@@HairliciousInc nope! Didn’t even wear a bonnet to sleep 🥲 just kept it moisturised. My hair stylist was shocked and said it’s the thickest and healthiest she’s ever seen it. Guess, for me, the less I manipulate it, the better.

[@HairliciousInc]

Amazing yet so rare! Less manipulation is always a good thing. So you mainly moisturized and sealed?

[@NiaBalcer]

@@HairliciousInc Haha yup. Moisturised and sealed. And when I washed my hair (every 2 weeks usually) I would use a biotin shampoo (blue bottle from amazon) and carol’s daughter conditioner. I only deep conditioned (using heat) about 3-4 times during the 6 month period. And used a protein mask 3x. Also, as you said, I would rarely comb my hair. Maybe once or twice a week. Rarely ever left it down too.

[@osayi4105]

Wow, so I recently came to several realisations about my relaxed hair and you've mentioned about 90% of the things I have decided to start or stop doing based on what I have learned over time. Now if this video was out like 2 years ago, it would've saved me a lot of hair loss and heartbreak 😥. Thanks all the same, I'm grateful for you sharing your experiences, it's great to know that these steps have worked for someone else.

[@michelleclark8099]

I am about 8 months post texlax. I am so afraid to do my touch up.

[@mariaofeliahernandez6147]

Thanks for the info, we have a lot in common with the things I don't do, I try to comb my hair every 2 to 3 days and can't strech much either at 10 to 12 weeks, that is it!

[@Afrocreolebombshelle]

Me too

[@wharton128]

I come back to relaxed hair after 10 plus years of natural. I use Design Essentials products. Is that a good product to use. Also, my doctor has now put me on Metformin, I now see shedding. Do you know what I should do to prevent this? One more question. I exercise about six days a week. How should I work with my relaxed hair. Trying to stop this shedding!
