Beautiful results, Kamsi! Welcome to the Relaxed Hair Community. Truly appreciate the luv💞

[@godisgreatdebby7832]

You are the realest thing sis ❤️

[@kamsinnamani]

Omg thank you for your videos 🥹

[@DeeDeeKarol]

I’m back, got a mild relaxer a few months ago.

[@anitaibhanesebhor1183]

I also impulsively relaxed my hair in November 2020 after 4 years. I just woke up and did it😂 Honestly, I've been loving my hair and rocking it all out more than I did when it was natural. Welcome to the gang sis!!!❤❤

[@lette1461]

Did it affect any styles you would do if it was natural? Thinking of doing mine but some people are being really negative with the idea

[@simisolalawal6165]

Go girl!!! Dont be a slave to your hair...you own the hair, the hair doesn't own you. You look beautiful either ways❤

[@kamsinnamani]

Wheww love how you put that! Thank youu 🤍

[@Fay_Onoja]

This was very beautifully said.

[@cyrilchetachi]

It's the way you're happy about the hair...Your hair is really long and healthy, and the new look is beautiful

[@MissMaryMak]

As much as I loved your natural hair and I'm such an advocate, I 'm so happy you did what was best for you. You look beautiful

[@tifftiff4889]

I relaxed my hair one month ago after being natural for 3 years. No regrets. And I still admire beautiful natural hair.

[@preciousnzeakor4018]

I'm going back to my natural virgin hair cause the salons here just don't get the relaxing process right. But, honestly, if relaxer is your thing, do you. It's so much easier especially if the proper techniques are used

[@excelgamanywa9700]

Our hair journey is so identical. Was relaxed in secondary, then transitioned in uni. Now after five years I think I know what I want 😩

Just the right video I needed to watch before relaxing mine😂😂. Btw!!!! Your relaxed hair is so prettyyyyy

I literally just relaxed mine too. It’s 4c and I always cried trying to comb it or wear it out because of shrinkage. I don’t regret it.

[@serwaahspov1708]

Actually really fits you .You look so pretty

[@gak2008]

I regretted relaxing my hair 2 yrs ago. That lasted a year and the straw that broke the camel’s back was the patch of hair that broke off. I was like heck Nawww we goin back natural. To be honest I’m falling in love with my natural hair. The kinks

You: "What did I just do..." You just did you boo! Shout out ❤️🤗

Beautiful before and after. As long as you are happy, we are happy.

I’m soo in love with my natural hair,when it becomes too much to maintain i just go with micro twists and I keep them on for three months there about,I can wash,treat do anything when I’m on micro twist,it’s easy to manipulate and maintain,I just have to visit the salon 3-4 times a year.

[@lisatoure2374]

You look amazing!!! ❤️

[@scholasticaokolo]

I wish I could but I react to relaxer like literally my face starts turning black, rashes appear and my face starts to peel. So my dermatologist just warned me to stay away from relaxing my hair even if I get to wash the relaxer out well😩😭 and my face has been great for the past 3 years. But you see natural hair I’m hating it 😂 then wigs? It’s a total waste of money for me after I purchase them 😩😭

[@ahkiraessien]

I’ve went back and forward and because I still wear rugs I wasn’t maintaining the perm well. Plus my hair is not very dense so that’s why I still do not end up wearing it out even when relaxed. Ahhh such a struggle lol your own looks great though

[@omouduehi2024]

I was relaxed for about 2/3 years and I did go to the best natural hair salons. I never told my friends how much I spent monthly but hell, I was tired deep down. My edges were zero I can almost say bald. Growing up I used to relax and I had length plus edges so how did going natural hair do the reverse ? Finally and relaxed and I have never been happier, at the moment my hair is a bra length plus the edges are coming out. I feel like I look prettier too

[@Xtafina]

This is my cue to go relax mine because I have been wanting to for a very long time.

[@Buggu3]

I’m tired too.. I’m relax mine after 7yrs. My hair still damage and it’s not relaxed so I might as well

[@salmaabdullahgb]

Sadly it can always be worse

[@MsFaye762]

I will admit that some of the comments are sad; and they show how insecure a lot of Black women truly are. You can relax your hair if you want; but saying “you think you look prettier now” or “natural isn’t for me” (when it’s the hair that grows from your scalp); it’s mind blowing to me.

[@poisonapple146]

Everyone is insecure about something, it’s not unique to black women or even just women. Nothing to see here, move along.

[@MsFaye762]

@@poisonapple146 Y’all love to try your hardest to make excuses for this by including everyone else; when we aren’t even talking about everyone else. This is clearly a video about and made by a Black woman.

[@atatajoe3506]

I relate a hundred times. My hair grew out so fast, thick and long, and I, literally, couldn't manage it. Like you, I never wore my hair out. You'd only catch my hair undone on my way to the salon. The only times I dealt with my hair myself were on wash days, which I, intentionally, kept few and far between. There were no natural hairdressers in my area that could afford the patience it required without charging me through the roof. The only protective style I wore were braids-usually one one-and I wore them for weeeeeks. Ironically, this grew my hair even more (maybe not ironically, but you get my drift). I dreaded wash days, even if my sister offered to help. I would cry, my back would hurt, my neck would ache, my arms would kill, all because of natural hair. A whole day dedicated to just taking out the braids and washing my hair, and another to making it. It wasn't until I got admitted into a Master's, I decided I couldn't deal anymore. I remember that day clearly; it was as though I was under an influence. I just snipped at the braids very close to their roots. For a minute, I stunned myself. After undoing those sorry stubs for a braid, I was waiting for some emotion to hit me. Something. Regret. Pain. Shame. Melancholy. Anything. But nothing did. It wasn't after I'm sat on the barber's chair, and he says, "E mecha go m," I look at myself, oil-faced, bordered by these large gold hoop earrings, and I loved it! Last month made it a year, and I, absolutely, recommend, black woman or not. It is just hair, your hair. Have fun with it whilst you can. Don't let these black hair community gatekeepers rain on your parade. They are the split ends you need to trim if you want to be great. Do I apologise for the long read? Hehe.

I relaxed my hair yesterday for the first time in 6 years and I couldn’t be more happy. A lot of people gave unsolicited advice, saying ‘I’m spoiling my hair’, ‘ people are praying for the type of hair you’re about to ruin’ but honestly, I’m so happy about my decision because my natural hair was really difficult to maintain. I completely made up my mind after watching your video two weeks ago❤️

[@octaviawalker823]

@@insertname5453 I know it. Relaxed hair is easier to deal with. I rather see relaxed hair versus weave all the way down to the tailbone, knowing it ain't yours. I can't stand that. Especially when they get to flinging it around and swishing it and twirling it. I really be wanting to snatch that mess off.

I feel you Kamsi. You dont owe anyone an explanation. I been natural 16 years and it has its up and downs. The key is HEALTHY hair and im happy your going to professionals. The issue with perms is many people esp in Africa dont do it properly causing extreme hair damage. Like you mentioned your only supposed to relax the roots NOT the entire hair. I wear my hair out alot but since you dont much I def see why you want to relax it cause wigs are annoying. I can only do them for weeks at a time 😂

[@igbaniliz2878]

For me, there's absolutely nothing wrong with relaxing your hair. One thing though managing natural hair does for you is that it teaches you how to treat your hair well regardless of whether it is natural or relaxed. I honestly would not have turned natural if I knew what I know now back then.

I’m relaxing my hair next week. I can’t do this anymore lol. I’ve been natural since 2019 and I’ve been wearing my hair in braids mostly. I tried to wear it out but I would always just wear it up. I feel limited with hair styles also I just want my hair to be straight. I tried the wig thing and it’s a no for me. My hair is way too long and thick for me to do my own silk press, it would probably take like 6 hours and it wouldn’t last. And wash days take like 3 hours. I’ve made up my mind!
