Roux Porosity Control is something every relaxed girl should have in their arsenal. It just stays on for 30 seconds but makes a big difference. Besides a chelating poo, there's also ION hard water shampoo (sold at Sally's) that removes mineral buildup from hard water. Even if you don't use no lye relaxers it's still beneficial to remove mineral buildup every few months. Unless you live in an area w soft water the water we use daily has minerals in it that can build up on hair. Just using clarifying shampoo won't do the trick.

I'm relaxed and since starting MSM my hair has become really strong while the new growth is coming in soft and a lot less coarse. The taste is something you just have to get used to but it's so worth it. On another topic . I ❤️ that necklace you're wearing so much. I can't believe thats a sew in. That looks amazing!! Do you do it yourself?

[@galaxi407]

I started taking MSM silica yesterday. Hopefully this will make my hair stronger and less likely to break easily.

Consider a keratin treatment or Botox hair treatment before taking the plunge. Just a thought... actually you can do these treatments even after you relax in order to strengthen your hair especially for your new growth.

Chelating is pronounced "key-lay-ting"

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

Yup it is like the science just up and left when it came to relaxers. I saw a video last week by the Intentional Classroom Relaxer vs. Perms and it showed that after a perm they repair the bonds that are broken by the chemical process but with relaxers they are left broken and I was like shook. I mean how can we fix one and not the other? Is it because of who gets relaxers? I am not a conspiracy theorist but that really got me thinking. Now there is a short term solution, Olaplex at $28 for 3.3 oz! Hmm so maybe it is possible to create something a bit more permanent?

[@trawlins396]

When you say "they repair the bonds" after a perm who are you referring to?

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

@@trawlins396 When you get a perm the chemicals break the bonds in your hair all three types, when the process is over these bonds are repaired. I am not a chemist nor a cosmetologist, take a look online or the video I mentioned. The perm process breaks then repairs the relaxer process only breaks.

Hello. Can you recommend any lightweight moisturizers that does not contain coconut oil(everything has coconut oil nowadays and my hair doesn't like it)? Please and thank you!

[@trawlins396]

So glad I'm not the only one.. coconut oil does NOTHING for my hair. Imo it's way too overhyped.

[@Thatgurl]

Mine also doesn't like pure coconut oil but if its mixed with other stuff my hair just accept it. Try garnier macadamia hair food

[@purdy1982]

That's probably because you're protein sensitive. You need to search products that don't have protein, as protein products will do more harm than good.

[@msleigh]

@Miriaaam I was using pure coconut oil. I tried it for about a month last year. The first two weeks were great. Then I noticed that my hair was splitting and a couple areas on the side looked like I had shingles. I always close my cuticles by rinsing my conditioner out with cold water. I couldn't figure it out. I begin researching the products I was using. Lo and behold, I came across an article on coconut oil that talked about it causing the hair to break (mine wasn't) and then it said it can also cause your hair to start splitting 😳 The only areas that were splitting and looked like shingles were the areas that I focused the oil in. I haven't had an issue since I stopped using it. Now I'm scared to use any product with it in there.

[@msleigh]

@@trawlins396 it caused mine to start splitting. I noticed it, but couldn't id the culprit at first. I keep my ends trimmed and notice when something's not right. After some research I figured it out stopped using it.

[@mimib7440]

Hey April! Did you end up trimming your ends before doing the sew-in? I might of missed it but I don’t remember you mentioning in this video. You look beautiful as always!

[@AprilSunnyBeauty]

🙈Yes...I couldn't help myself🤷🏾‍♀️. There is a little more that needs to go. I will definitely wait til I go to the salon for a trim. Thank you for watching 💞

[@louannelively7641]

[@marymac48]

What’s a good leave in? Seems like everything is catered to natural hair, with glycerin . ..gives a weird texture to my low porosity hair

[@ok-sg8tw]

How do you know if they’re doing it “bone straight” ??

[@dominiquecadet5976]

Not all relaxed people have high porosity hair. Mine is low porosity. I relax three times per year.

[@trawlins396]

I also heard people can have different porosity types on one head.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

Right. That's the first thing I noticed n commented on. My Natural hair is high porosity, not so when it's relaxed. (Ppl come on YT to get info from folk n that's fine to a degree, but one has to know that every head of hair is different. The key is knowing one's OWN HAIR.)

April you look flawless!!! I wonder why you used footage at the beginning of the video that cant be found later!! I wanted to know what was going on.

[@PweetyTiffo]

Hey AprilSunny and fans, on my wash days when I detangle I lose lots of hair. I don't know what else to do since I deep condition every wash day (×2 a month)

[@sarahdanforth703]

You first need to check if it's more breakage than shedded hair. If it's more shedded hair you might have a deficiency so it's best to visit a doctor, if it's more than usual. Protein treatments or protein deep conditioners could also help, but not unless you're sure you need it. If there's more breakage, try deep conditioning each week with heat or a steamer. The best thing would be to put your hair away if you're seeing breakage due to overmanipulation or heat styling. You can check out Seun Okimi new vid on breakage. It's really helpful

[@mirandaallen5028]

Hi there I'm the same way but my hair sheds alot because they are long strands however I wash and deep condition once a week but I did find out I'm a severe anemic so it took a toll on my hair

[@trawlins396]

@@mirandaallen5028 soooooooo many of "us" are severely anemic. It's really starting to make me wonder. 🤔🤔. It's scary and makes no sense. But yes after I started taking iron seriously my hair has thrived. It's also important to know the TYPE of anemia you have. Iron deficient anemia is the most common but its not the only one. A lot of times doctors will just say "anemia" in general. But knowing the type makes a difference. There are 6 different types I believe. Vitamin deficient anemia is another common one.

[@mirandaallen5028]

Relaxers does change hair's porous, but not everyone changes the same. My natural hair is way more porous than when relaxed.

[@peta107]

You mentioned two moisturizing oils for high porosity hair, but are there moisturizing oils you would recommend for low porosity hair? Or is something else recommended (milks, butters, etc)?

[@AprilSunnyBeauty]

No, the oils I mentioned was for high porosity hair. I really like light weight hydrating oils so the hair doesn't get weight down so quickly. Sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil and Babassu oil...just to name a few are good for low porosity. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching 💞.
