CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! RELAXING MY HAIR AFTER 4 YEARS

[@jmeezy2362]

It’s her hair, I really hate these comments.

[@solarlola5953]

Jmeezy 23 lol

[@beverlysimple411]

You did nothing wrong, application wise. The reason why your hair ended up straighter than you intended is because your hair was already color processed, which made it high porosity i.e. quick reacting. This explains why your root (which is in its most natural state) came out still curly and thicker than your colored shaft. Either way, the end result was lovely. #forget the haters. #Loads of love from me to you.

[@charsdiy1879]

Oh wow thank you so much for explaining that. Now it makes complete sense for the different textures and thank you I'm glad it worked out in the end:)

[@mone14yahoo]

Girl you don’t have to justify why you do what you want to do, to your hair. If they’re gonna hate on what you do, they are going to hate regardless

Completely agree!

[@silkicurls]

I relaxed after 7 years. It was too long and took forever to detangle. Relaxing my hair has been awesome. I still treat it like I’m natural and wear a wash and go everyday, but I can detangle in the shower in under 10 minutes! I feel like I have my life back... At least my Sundays.

After a while of being natural, hair just didn't matter that much to me anymore. I went back and forth several times over the years and finally just shaved my head. It just wasn't that serious to me anymore. I used to be a slave to my hair but no longer. I do what I want.

[@charsdiy1879]

Yes to this!

[@tallywithme]

The huge mistake y'all make is, as soon as you relax (weaken) the hair, you use heat and do things you avoided when you were natural. Your hair is already processed and weak for dyes and heat. Go easy.

[@astoldbyaja3010]

Your hair looks amazing. I have only been natural for 3 years and sadly I grew to hate my hair the longer it got because it did not make my routine for work easy and I just didn’t feel beautiful with natural hair. Relaxing again has been the best decision ever!

Yes I think managing long natural hair is a whole another process than it being short. What has been some of your go to relaxed products.

Charsdiy you’re so right it is and the products I am currently trying is Love Beauty and Planet coconut and Ylang Ylang shampoo and conditioner along with their leave in and prime spray which is a leave in and helps your hair straighten easier along with their lavender smoothie for softness!

[@amandakatriana98]

I appreciate how you said that you didn’t feel beautiful with your natural hair. I feel like people think that just because it grows from your scalp that way that you HAVE to love it and you HAVE to own it. Some people just aren’t comfortable rocking their natural hair and that ok 👌🏾

[@solarlola5953]

I want to relax because of ease of wash days but then I think of how much I hated needing to touch up new growths. don’t want to go back to that again . I’m very hair lazy.

[@astoldbyaja3010]

O-Kay absolutely I hear so many people commenting “just deal with it” like I’m sorry that’s not how I choose to live my life. My hair was constantly a problem even when others loved my curl type they didn’t know the long over bearing process to get it there. It’s better to do what makes things easier verses how people think is right for you.

[@MissNolver]

This is the first time I'm seeing your channel. The *Autoplay function* is switched on, on my channel, so after watching a video about relaxed hair, your video popped up. You have beautiful hair 🙂 But as a black woman who is born and raised in Europe, I'm still quite amazed why black women in America who are natural and decide to go back to a relaxer, *always* need to defend themselves 🤔 Here in Europe, having natural hair is also a trend (I am natural for 20 years btw), but no one will ever frown upon someone who will put a relaxer in her hair. We also view relaxed hair as natural hair. It is your *own* hair. I would love to see black people to unite, even when it comes to natural hair. God bless! 😊😊🖐🏾

When my hair was relaxed it was thick, long, bouncy , shiney and healthy. However overtime this does take a toll on your hair and it began to break and look stringy. Now that I am natural ,it may take more work but my hair is healthy and it is long and is full. I will NEVER relax my hair again. A lot of people like to take the easy way out and then once they relax their hair I'm sure some regret it like you probably are because your hair doesn't look healthy at all. But even if it did overtime it is going to break down. As well, relaxing came about to emulate the European. Now, many today might not relax their hair to do that but that's how it came about. If you notice a lot of people relax their hair because it's easier to deal with and it will help them no longer hate their hair. We shouldn't hate what God has given us we should rather embrace it and learn how to work with it. Now, even if I became a slave to my hair and it became too much for me and if I had to cut my hair I would still be natural. I would never go back to relaxed. Ever.

[@MassageReikiHealer]

OMG! That bloody detangling killed me! I loved my fro, I really did but puffs were snatching my edges something fierce. I workout 5 days a week and that didn’t help. Tangles from hell!! So after 7 years of being natural I did get locs. Trust me I thought of perming my hair again but it just wasn’t for me. You have to choose which works for you. Loose natural hair is beautiful but it’s hard work keeping it detangling. Good luck to you sis!! Ps I love both forms (natural & relaxed) of your hair.

Cosmetology was my former career so professional advice you can absolutely go over the areas that you feel like you missed and straighten them again you may wanna use the smushing method (not a professional term) which is just literally pulling the hair between your index finger and your thumb and smoothing it over and over again with the relaxer on your hair or you can do what a lot of stylist do that people are scared of but it's done quite often they use a rat tail comb and they smoothed it with the comb either way it is OK to go over the areas you feel like you missed or the entire length of your hair just.. only.. one more time! lol only 1 more time!! because it is not over processed because, it wasn't completely processed.

[@osimeon00]

The results were great but I urge all relaxed girls to please do more research before slapping any relaxer in your head. No-Lye boxed relaxers are the worst types of relaxers to have because of the inferior ingredients used to formulate the product (which caused your uneven results and underprocessing) and the calcium hydroxide used causes the hair to become drier over time due to mineral build up. Design Essentials has an entire line of salon level lye-base relaxers formulated for sensitive scalps which would give you way better results.

[@charsdiy1879]

I'll need to do more research on lye vs no lye. The information I found online before relaxing didn't state any major differences that made me go low-lye. I was considering the design essentials relaxer as well but opted to do ors again. I think my hair was drier because I bleached it though. Thank you for your information and insights everyone should always do their own research and not just go off off KZbin results.

@@charsdiy1879 Yes, there is a difference between Lye vs No lye. However, the different has nothing to do with inferior ingredients. Lye relaxers have sodium hydroxide, which is fast acting and has a high PH of 14. However, high-PH chemicals are not ideal for people with sensitive scalps. Hence, for this reason and this reason only, do companies make No-Lye relaxers. The most common No-lye active ingredient is Calcium hydroxide along with Guanidine carbonate (aka liquid activator) which reacts when mixed to form Guanidine Hydroxide. In fact, the aforementioned chemical combination is what is found in Design essentials' sensitive scalp relaxer and in Affirm's sensitive scalp creme relaxer. The only difference is that they choose to list their ingredient as Guanidine Hydroxide. All this said, to combat the dryness associated with No-lye relaxers use a chelating demineralizing shampoo like Quantum clarifying shampoo or Mizani phormula-7 neutralizing and chelating shampoo. Warm Regards, B.

I think if you’re gonna relax your hair you should have a professional do it. At least the first time to give you a good foundation and then you can touch up the roots
