[@tamerahtyndall8691]

Wow no more relaxer

[@tamerahtyndall8691]

Will you ever use a relaxer again??

[@Tyiece]

I know right. My scalp needs a break. It has been doing so good since I stopped though, it's finally back to normal

[@Tyiece]

Maybe in a couple years

[@lindythomas2956]

I relate with this video so hard... transitioning is definitely hard emotionally and physically

[@flamingoparrish8215]

Gurrrrrl dang ur arms are so toned u looking great💪. Great video

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@rhoshondapowell4401]

Thats exactly what i was looking at!!! I thought I was the only one 😆

[@traceylennon1204]

@flamingoparrish8215 I noticed the guns too! 💪🏾

[@withintheword]

Your ARMS stole the show .. workout video please ??! I think I saw one from you before on weight loss . You’re doing so well with the hair transition 👏🏽 I’m so proud of you !!! You have such a fun and happy spirit , love watching your videos 😊

[@Tyiece]

Lol thanks alot. I do fitness blender upper body workouts

[@antonyatelemaque8762]

Finally someone I can keep up with in my transition journey... that is in 2018

[@Tyiece]

right, I feel like I'm so late. Feels like everyone already natural

[@SylesteHoskins]

I love that we are on our 4c transitioning journeys at almost the same time! It's been 5 months for me and I agree with everything you've said. On my first transition I was heat free and it was impossible. Even after I cut off the relaxed ends. Using the blow drier every two weeks has made a world of difference in time, softness, and breakage this time around. I probably would still use it at least once a month even after I am completely natural

[@Tyiece]

Wow that's great. Why did you relax again and decide to go back natural now?

[@SylesteHoskins]

Tyiece I relaxed again because I was so self conscious about how short it was when I chopped off the relaxed ends. I felt like I needed straight hair so I could see length. And it took me a full 6 hours you did my hair because I didn't know what I was doing and thought 4c hair couldn't handle blow drying. But relaxers make my scalp dry, super flaky, and itchy. I also started to get bored with my straight hair and it won't hold a curl in this Florida humidity! And most of all, my 3 year old daughter told me she didn't like her hair and wanted straight hair like mine and her white friend at school. I really want her to love her hair! Now I know that I can use to reduce the styling time, I'm all good! I actually wash my hair loose, then section it in 4 to condition and detangle.

[@berthawoods4628]

Ur arms are well toned

[@forevertheaii]

I'm 9 months post relaxer and I don't know what to do with it except keep it braided.😥 It's 4b-ish at the front and 4c at the back. I have to manipulate the 4b to look like 4c 'cause otherwise I'd look crazy walking around with 3+ textures on my head. I'm hanging on to my length like crazy.🙆 I'm planning on big chopping after the one year mark, maybe. Or after 1.5 years after. Don't even get me started on the shrinkage.🙃

[@ujunwaclaudia1184]

I guess we started same time, am ten months in now and damn my hair now tangles like I've never seen before.

[@sarah821]

i am 10 months post relaxers and it's gettingggg on my nerves!!!!!!!

[@clawalk]

I hear you. It took me a KZbin tutorial and an hour to get my transitioning hair in to a bun. Also can't get over how dry my new growth is. Protein treatments every 8 weeks has pretty much eliminated my breakage.

[@JazzmynDesir]

I still have videos of when my hair was relaxed on my channel and now Ive started my natural hair journey. Thank you for this information I loved the information 😊

[@safratanuhi6232]

thanks for the update, c glad to know you are enjoying every bit of your new hair journey.i will be four post relaxer tomorrow and surprisely washdays are getting easier for me.

[@Tyiece]

That's great girl

[@jackiebobh52]

Hi Tyiece, your hair is exactly like mine. 1/4 inch growth per months, im 5 months post atm. Thin ends, long strands breaking (sometimes)...literally the same so its great to go on the journey with u. I dnt plan on going natural but i do do long stretchs (1 year stretches for 2 years). Keep going girl, its trying but its so rewarding. I love experiencing new growth n caring for it. Here for you girl x

[@Tyiece]

Wow good job with the long stretches. I've always been a short stretch girl.

[@D.Charlene]

Side note... If you miss wearing your hair down, you could always wear your clip ins every now and again which will mask the relaxed ends.

[@Tyiece]

Yeah I will wear them again soon. thanks

[@PlushCreativeDzyneLLC]

Yassss sis GROWTH!!! 😍 WE C U SIS!!!!!. After being natural for bout 6yrs I dsided to get my hair relaxed 1 month ago. So happy for u sis😘

[@Tyiece]

Wow congrats. How is it going so far? Did you get it straight the first time?

[@PlushCreativeDzyneLLC]

Tyiece I'm too lazy to do all that. I go 2 a salon. N it has been goin gud so far. My hair supa think so I'm jus glad I don't have to deal wit it. I jus keep it moisturized during the week until I revisit my stylist

[@universalseeker]

I enjoyed your feedback regarding your hair journey!

[@domfaithful52]

I knew immediately you work out 💪🏾

[@traceylennon1204]

This video is the most helpful and realistic!!

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Nothing wrong with taking a break. I took a short break in the past but I found my relaxed hair was easier to take care of because I exercise so much. Good luck on your journey you have to do what you think is best!

[@Tyiece]

Yeah I guess my plans of wearing my hair straight won't work because I workout alot too. But I'll see how this journey goes

[@itsMellaBella]

I love the twists you're rocking!

[@Tyiece]

Thanks

[@valeriastokes504]

The real issue with long term transitioning with 4C hair, it is not compatible with relaxed hair. You may have to big chop and go on a natural hair journey and learn to wear it and style it. I suppose that is why so many natural 4C folks go wigs and weaves while learning their Virgin hair. Also be careful to not get heat issues when using heat on the new growth. I have been natural, and the work is just as important as relaxed hair. Best to you.

[@Tyiece]

Yeah I'm not interested in wigs which is why I don't want to cut off my hair

[@PlushCreativeDzyneLLC]

U don't hav to always do the big chop. I've seen many women transition with out the big chop n wen they finally dside2 let those ends go they only have bout 3 inches to chop. Ther r a few ways to go bout n sum ppl do Xtreme big chops bcuz they don't Wana bear it anymore. I did my big chop in aug.2012 n I relaxed a month ago. Life Ben so much e.z. 4 me. That wuz my decision n I wuz very happy wit it. Very well said tho

[@LovesofJBNeet]

Valeria Stokes Hi! I agree and that's why I just cut it off. I love my natural hair. I never knew I had nice hair lol

[@SA-xz2yn]

plush furr What made you decide to relax again if you don't mind me asking?

[@clawalk]

If there is anything beyond 4c, that's what I would be..lol, and I am transitioning without wigs, weaves, braids. It's difficult but doable.

[@soulsistag66]

I transitioned for 13 months out of a planned 24 months five and a half years ago before I cut the relaxed hair from my natural mane. I allow my edges to do what it do so my edges are always in a tightly curled/nappy state.

[@Tyiece]

Nice. Can't wait to see how far I make it

[@pearlina1925]

You have come a long way your new growth is looking very healthy. Yes girl with natural hair it takes a while to prepare your hair every day

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@pearlina1925]

You ae welcome!

[@Tyiece]

Are you still going back natural?

[@brandeecollier7263]

I needed this video. I started braiding and wearing wigs to leave my hair alone and it's growing like crazy but it's been so hard to detangle, it's thin, it's stressful lolol.

[@shersworld5961]

I love your videos keep them coming sweetheart 😍😍

[@Tyiece]

Thank you and I will

[@HotgyalB]

Your skin tone is so flawlessly gorgeous

[@Tyiece]

Thank you 😊

[@MrsShelly]

Your arms are on 🔥🙌🏽

[@D.Charlene]

Loving your low manipulation style it really suits you. The working out definitely makes a difference your upper body is looking strong and toned 😍😍😍 Very interesting video, am excited to follow you on your new journey.

[@raphyfrancis9129]

Hi I’m literally at the same point in my journey right now thanks for the vid found it really relatable ... p.s apparently they call that new growth that is hard “scab hair” . Thanks 🙌🏽

[@Tyiece]

You're welcome. Yes since big chopping, my hair texture is alot softer. I will cut the scab ends in a few months

[@EverybodyLovesJess]

I just found your channel girl yes ima right behind u ill be 4 months post june 11. Yay

[@Tyiece]

Congrats, thanks for joining my hair journey

[@EverybodyLovesJess]

Tyiece your welcome hun

[@tracycampbell9784]

Your skin is flawlessly beautiful

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@tywanaslight]

Nice video I'm currently transitioning I'm 5 months post but I will be 6 months post in February maybe your texture got softer because that's your roots because remember the new growth is pushing out the relaxed hair so the new growth at 5 months post is going to be your ends maybe that's why they are so rough I can very much relate and your one of my favourite KZbinrs!!!!

[@Tyiece]

Aww thanks and wishing you a great transition 🎉🎉 🎉

[@tywanaslight]

@@Tyiece Thanks so much your my inspiration so I'm looking forward to your videos

[@nonia3916]

Your skin is flawless 😍😍😍😘🔥🔥🔥

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@cmwarren12492]

I have the same issues. My new growth is so dry everyday when I wake up. Trying to learn how to de tangled and what moisturize works for me. It’s like I start over everyday when I wake up. I’m 7 months no relaxer.

[@ware3300]

Im 6 months post too!! We're in this together.❤❤I have really thick hair but washdays are only 1 hour. It also tangles up 5 minutes after I detangle it and it's so annoying. My ends look thin and stringey. Can't wait to big chop.

[@Tyiece]

wow girl 1hr? What is your secret?

[@ware3300]

Tyiece I detangle while I'm in the shower and i section my hair the night before. It saves me alot of time

[@celianacruz997]

She is so beautiful ❤️

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@TenkiTench]

Welcome to the gun show👏🏾👏🏾 pow pow

[@Tyiece]

Omg lol. I need to slow down on arm days

[@TenkiTench]

Tyiece NEVER!!!👌🏾

[@courtneydolly6538]

Wow you are stunning!

[@Tyiece]

Thank you

[@renreddock5082]

hey my hair just turned 6 months an im experiencing breakage and can you let me know what are you using as the protein to stop the breakage

[@aleeahamour6212]

Im 4 months in nd my hair us growing drastically

[@fatimaibrahim339]

Tbh all hair is different and know I know. Your 6 month mark is my 4 month mark. Still better than not going on a healthy hair journey.

[@Marie-Golden]

I did a six month stretch once it was a nightmare cornrows and leaving it alone is the best you can do so well done. I did notice though that you cut out more hair each time but you're making progress and I love it. Please what camera are you using I love the video quality.

[@Tyiece]

Thanks, I am using the nikon coolpix s7000. I got a refurbished one for only $80

[@Marie-Golden]

Tyiece The picture quality is so good. Fantastic

[@nylaari6836]

Hey guys what protein products can I use?

[@mrsgiggles85]

I like your approach to your edges I'm just leaving mine to grow in its natural 4c texture. I'm transitioning without braids weaves and wigs so I understand the daily struggle.

[@von2480]

Your hair looks nice. Can we get a hair tutorial on this style your rocking in this video? Also I noticed how tone your arms are. Workout video please ☺

[@Tyiece]

Thanks, I will

[@s_sanny]

Ur hair grows fast

[@ladym9771]

Hey Tyiece...thx for the vid. I can relate: 1 - Time, because i am dealing with two textures as well (4 months post) it does take more time for me to detangle my hair. 2 - Washing, after 8 weeks i wash my hair every other week just for the simple fact that it takes so long to detangle (i can't tolerate this every week). 3 - Thin ends, likewise i do suffer from thin ends and i notice that once i've passed 10 weeks my ends look horrible. Gosh! I combat this by hiding my ends (buns, cornrows and twistrows). 4 - Length, my hair too seems to get shorter and i hate it. I don't wear my down either. 5 - Growth, honestly am not really sure how much i have, what i can say is that it varies. Ty based on your vid i think you have more that 2 inches (did you apply tension while measuring?). 6 - dryness, 4c hair tends to be so dry. I try to moisturize my new growth every 2-3 days. I realize thou that the relaxed hair then suffers as it gets limpy. 7 - i have trimmed my hair too it has made me so discourage at times with my current length. On Sat May 12, 2018 (tomorrow) i will me getting my relaxer - professionally done.

[@Tyiece]

Yes I applied tension and use a ruler to measure. I forgot to insert the clip after I uploaded the video. Have a good relaxer day girl. Let me know how it goes.

[@ladym9771]

Hey Tyiece, my relaxer when well. When i did the touch up i was 15 weeks post; and that was the best decision that i made. Please note that i have NEVER received a relaxer burn, but even then i could still feel it on my scalp (not sure if you get what a mean) but after that prolonged stretch (i normally relax 8-9 weeks) i felt nothing. I relax my hair in halves; which means i relax the first half then wash it out and do the other. When my the hairdresser said its time to wash it out i was like are you sure. I can't really say much new growth i had but my hair has grown significantly with this stretch. So from now on i will relax at 16 weeks (4 months). **Not sure how i can upload pictures.

[@theresabady4732]

Hello how does drying your hair with heat effect you transitioning? I’m 5 months post and I would love to beat dry my natural hair to take out some of the poofyness how often do you do that?

[@Tyiece]

I do it once a week with a blow dryer on warm heat. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/imbbaqCgjdecq8k

[@thequeenthinkingofname5969]

Maybe you have low prosperity natural hair and thats why it wont retain mositure. This is my first time watching your videos but I think if you wash your hair with warm or hot water (or at least as hot as you're comfortable with) and then use the LCO method to moisturize your hair with it will feel good. (so put leaving in or light cream then a heavy cream and oil). Anyone else can try this but you should probably check if you have low prosperity hair first. Also try not to use too many oily products

[@Portiaa.m]

I relaxed my natural hair last month I'm unable to love it anymore I don't think I'll never do it again

[@Tyiece]

Congratulations 🎉 🎉. Everyone is entitled to their unique style preference.

[@dovetailedlondon]

Maybe try drying your hair in twists. 😊

[@Nini-rz4er]

Your hair is basically what my hair looked like before I got it braided do you guys think I should big chop? I’m tired of this ugly relaxed hair but I wanna be able to do a ton of styles with my hair are there any styles out their for twa’s?

[@Tyiece]

Yes there are alot of hairstyles for twa. Check out this video I did after I cut it ➡️kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGqXhWupnpiqesU

[@ChassityNOubre_88]

Girl you got some Michelle Obama guns. I'm not mad at ya! Love the top where did you purchase it?

[@Tyiece]

Thanks, I got it from forever 21

[@lungakambedla3983]

what texture are you? Im 4c and taking care of my hair is nightmare and its making me reluctant to go natural

[@Tyiece]

You can do it!! It gets so much easier after you cut it. Transitioning is very brief but so hard, it goes by fast though. I'm 4c too 😄

[@jerad248]

Literal same! I keep reconsidering.

[@lungakambedla3983]

I took the leap of faith and I did it. In July ill be celebrating my 1 year of being natural. The adjustment to really short hair was tough. However, I'm glad I did it. No regrets

[@adiyastbernard5807]

Right now i'm 3 months post relaxer

[@saquitabrown2801]

I think locs would look SOOO Good On you~💖😍💖😍 #justathought🤔

[@Tyiece]

Lol thanks. Never heard that before

[@mrsgiggles85]

Are you an athlete? Your upper body looks good.

[@Tyiece]

No lol. I workout 5 days a week

[@fairylaw7847]

Do you run track

[@Tyiece]

No. I work out 5 days a week

[@sinahmapitselaka4166]

My hair its like that

[@carmeld45]

"You need to cut it"

[@goldmouth100]

ARE YOU GONNA DO A BIG CHOP ??

[@Tyiece]

No I love long hair. I will just trim gradually as it grows

[@katrinacollins2887]

I was going to ask her the same thing lol, and I was saying to myself I hope not.

[@uncleruckus7833]

Thé relax ends will break off slowly...

[@breadames2422]

Girl you lifting weight your arm is tone

[@Tyiece]

Yes I lift lol

[@honeyedwards7327]

My hair short af after 7 fucking months🙄

[@hayliewebb2266]

I let my edges live their best life! Lol if you havent used apogee yet you should my hair loves it during transitioning. Google scab hair, this helped me understand what was going on with my hair, hang in there!! ❤❤

[@Tyiece]

Yes I think that's what it because my hair texture is much softer and not as dense and rough as when the new growth first started to come in

[@KeshiaRobertsonBooks]

Great video. Small KZbinr here.

[@tallywithme]

🙄😒

[@temmygorgeous4612]

Too much talk.. We need the process..not the talk

[@nylaari6836]

Hey guys what protein products can I use?

[@Tyiece]

I use aphogee 2 minute reconstructor

[@nylaari6836]

Tyiece ok thanks
