Can we all take some time to be amazed by how beautiful she looks?!

[@JasmynDestine]

+Vanakkam Gi Thank you!! Thats so sweet!

[@FairyFederation]

for all you guys saying expensive relaxer, you have no idea what you are talking about. Japanese straighteners are way easier on the hair than american standard relaxers. my hair looked very healthy with a Japanese hair straightener. American relaxers destroy the hair. they both straighten the hair but the methods are soooooooo different. I live in japan and my hair grew a lot with it relaxed using the japanese system.

[@michellem8760]

Is your hair still long? Or has it broken off? Genuinely curious. I would love to have permanently straight hair, however the longest I could maintain my hair was armpit length when it was relaxed and I took really good care of it. I want LONG hair. I’ve been natural for 3 years and my hair is mid back length… however it shrinks up to armpit length 😖 I just prefer smoother styles so I mostly wear wigs/weaves.

[@jitared]

I had this process done and I swear I almost never touched a flat iron in years. I never suffered from split ends or damaged hair. My hair looked shiny and straight and overall healthy. At the beginning I did use sulfate-free shampoo but at the end of 2 1/2 years I was using a shampoo my mom got me from Mexico with aloe vera and jalapeno and my hair's end were still straight like a pin even though my new hair growth was almost 5 inches from top and wavy. I think it's worth it specially if you live in humid weather. I prefer this process than the flat iron.

[@JasmynDestine]

+Patricia Feliz In total it was $230, but that was including tip, which at my salon was always included.

[@j28200]

can you dye your hair while getting straightening treatment?

[@ryo3010]

well sometimes they dont let you get it done if you have bleached your hair or something, and you cant dye your hair after you get it but i think you can do some light dying some months or weeks after, dont take my info tho cuz i could be wrong i have only heard this from others X)

[@mirandataylor6385]

That's cheap!!!!

[@LaHyuuga]

Jasmyn Destine damn where do you live? I can’t find a place in Orlando that isn’t trying to charge me at LEAST 500 bucks

[@aijahmuhammad5412]

what salon?

[@alinashina2887]

The short hair really suits you

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you!

[@anthonyfox585]

you guys it's not an over priced glorified relaxer it's not as damaging as lye and the bonds are reattached at the end of the process I will say that it is expensive to get it done professionally but you can buy it online for like 20 bucks

[@Kaylasdaintydesk]

The right to be righteous I bought the Japanese Liscio brand on Amazon for about 50$. I am also half black/white wig very curly hair. It thinned my hair a bit but it doesn’t break off as much as with a traditional relaxer. After I did it I waited 1 month and then dyed it black and it didn’t break of any extra. Just be careful to use sulfate free hair products and keep your hair moisturized.

[@JasmynDestine]

+Matisse McMahon So if you already have split ends, you are going to want to cut your hair, just a trim would be fine. And then you can get it done, and the process will actually make your hair grow. So don't worry about cutting your hair. And thank you!! Maybe I will make a video!

[@celestialzion9761]

I watched your video and I kept saying "I went to high school with this girl, she looks so familiar". Sure enough I look on Facebook and yep, 40 mutual friends. Anyway, congrats on your channel! You have great content, it deserves to grow more :)

[@Matisse2790]

Jasmyn, what happens if I didn't cut off my split ends before I got it done? because my hair is short to begin with. and I'm afraid to cut it. especially since it doesn't grow that much.

[@serenasgangsta123]

Omg you are so pretty! And I love your voice, it has like a ring to it!

[@JasmynDestine]

serenasgangsta123 Thank you!!!

[@Nooreissad]

your face is soooo adorable

[@JasmynDestine]

+Ajanae Fletcher Thanks!

[@alexpryce2369]

Hi Jasmyn! love the video but just have a question, so I am also mixed (Carribean, and white) and i want to get my hair relaxed. right now its really curly and is not tamed at all so i am looking at this option, however if you don't mind i would just like to know what exactly you'll need to do. 1. which hair products do you use for home care? (do i need to buy specialized shampoo & conditioner) 2. Everytime i get my hair wet or wash it do i need to straighten it again? or do i have to get it retouched (like do you know the price) 3. When your roots grow in do you just straighten the roots again? 4. Bonus: Do you know if you can go in chlorine water or will that ruin my hair? like did/do you ever go swimming?

[@loonysedits5549]

Does it smell weird/like chemicals when wet or dry? Or will it just smell like whatever products you choose to put on your hair?

[@senoragonzalez9565]

How do you mail a hair when it grows from root? Do you apply something?

[@misseliebae5180]

I done it yesterday I was soooooooo HAPPY! It was REALLY PRETTY SLICK and my one was $250 and my hair is up to my sholders

[@halloweensocks2953]

How is it 3 weeks later? Would you recommend it? How curly was your hair to begin with??

[@digitaldiaries8314]

how are your hair now?

[@MissChinBK99]

How is your hair holding up now?

[@tokyoooaaa8555]

MissElieBae how is you're hair now?

[@ginaparadis3302]

hey! thanks for sharing your experience, where did you get this job done.

[@katelynbrye8987]

I'm hispanic and black too.. do you have any fav products that you put into it ... and how did you get it so long.. I feel like my hair never grows :(

[@lisajitan9328]

So i have really curly hair and I always straighten it sins the age of 10 in (18 now) and I’m really thinking about doing but I’m scared how damaged my hair will be.

[@she368]

you’re so pretty omg

[@vanakkamgi8330]

OMG beautiful beautiful beautiful!!

[@Matisse2790]

And omg you are so pretty! I wish I had the shape of your lips, you should so do a tutorial on the makeup you are wearing in this video. It's on point👌

[@taylorwilliams9080]

How did it look straight out of the shower after you had this done? Thinking about doing this and was wondering if it was worth it. Meaning... I don't want to be straightening my hair over and over every other day. Thanks for any help!

[@JasmynDestine]

Straight out of the shower you can let it air dry, depending on what kind of hair you have it can appear differently for each person. Someone with soft wavy hair that has this process done doesn't need to necessarily straighten their hair. But someone with thicker kinky or curly hair will have to straighten their new growth for sure after getting out of the shower, also will need to straighten for frizzyness. Again this is only from what I've experienced and heard from other women that have received this treatment, hope it helps!

[@kthkay7884]

so you know how i’m summer you sweat does your hair still get curly under ?

[@nydiarivera7668]

What brand of Japanese hair straightening did you do? Was it Liscio?

[@BeautefulSha]

I’ve been binge watching your videos and I just wanna say, awww 😂😍 lol. So cute.

[@Diana-ih8ye]

what products do you hse to maintain your perm ?

[@cy3937]

do you know the cost if it was hair type 2b?

[@unbothered8740]

Ur sooo pretty omg!!

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you!!

[@lusciouslocks151]

Will this treatment work on bleached hair?? So I bleached my hair ombré style, exactly a year ago and then re-bleached it during summer cause I wanted to go lighter. (2014) Of course I straightened curled and did hot oil treatments on it till now. (I also swim basically every day for school but not this semester because competition is over so we swim 2/5 so yes chlorine stripped my hair) will I be able to do this on my hair?? Its been through a lot and what do you recommend I do?

[@JasmynDestine]

lusciouslocks151 So it sounds like your hair has been through a lot, I wouldn't recommend it only because your hair might be damaged. The process won't make your hair fall out or anything, but you should wait a lil while before you do any more to your hair. Hope that helps, thats just my opinion!

[@HasnaHidayah]

Does it damage your hair?

[@mluna8568]

I have a question..how old do u have to be to get this straightening??

[@nataliehenry8100]

Can you use a curling iron afterwards? As in, does the curl hold?

[@JasmynDestine]

Yes it does.

[@gladitsnotme]

I never understood "the big chop" either. I relaxed my hair most of my life and then I just stopped one day. I never cut anything, just wore my hair straight with a flat iron. After a few months the relaxed parts curled up like normal anyway. I don't get why people cut their hair off.

[@JasmynDestine]

Lol I ended up chopping my hair off too 🙂

[@knbmakeshistory]

What color is your hair here? I love it and also how did you know which salon to choose? The only salon I can find costs about $850 for the treatment :/ . I'm still looking.

[@JasmynDestine]

This is my natural hair color, and my mom found the salon by reading reviews online lol

[@knbmakeshistory]

Jasmyn Destine I love your natural hair color! And that's so lucky, I'm thinking of going out of state to get it done. There's nowhere that's reasonably priced with good reviews. Thanks though!

[@chanelliato]

I love your grown out hair...it has so much body and life.

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you so much!!

[@jasminn8779]

Did u use the milbon liscio treatment or yuko ?

[@DaBabyDoll1]

What salon you went to!? What's state is it in!!

[@mzsprettymena]

Do you know the name of the relaxer ?anyone?

[@shielaharshman2163]

Where did you go to get it done?

[@rianalee3138]

Could you wear your hair without putting heat on it?

[@WhitakersWay]

hi how did you get your photo on your video with your channel link, i live in Japan and I am also looking into getting my hair straightened by a Japanese salon but I'm still debating. great video by the way!

[@JasmynDestine]

+Whitakers Way I use Final Cut Pro to do it, an editing software.

[@zulmahernandez7207]

I just had this treatment done and my hair is curly but not spring curly but its waaay pass wavy and Its a little longer than yours in this video, I also have ALOT of hair so it took a long while to get this done. Its been 2 days and with blower of keratin it would still kind on get volume of puff a bit but with this treatment i wake up and Its like boomm still straight lol... I was wondering if you kept up the aftercare and also they told me to use a "suero" (spanish word) once a week so as not to dry out, did they tell you to do the same??? btw mine cost 250 and Im from PR and that was also getting the cut fixed and a different style from what I had . I would like to add that your hair looks beautiful and so are you :)

[@JasmynDestine]

+Zulma Hernandez Thank you! It sounds like you might've gotten a different treatment then mine, because I wasn't given any aftercare, just told not to wash my hair until 3 days later. I don't think I can be of much help because I'm not really sure. Sorry!

[@kaeserinuma2611]

Does anyone know any Japanese hair straightening salons in Florida that does Afro hair?

[@itsgbi]

😍😍😍gorgeous

[@TheKMovie1]

Look at how much your channel has grown 📌 Keep going

[@khadejahross8257]

I really love your name plate necklace I want to get one made for myself but with that type pf chain what is the name of the company that made yours? if you don't mind me asking

[@JasmynDestine]

Hi love, this was a gift when I was like 10 yrs old. I don’t know where it was bought or how much it’s called! You can try etsy.com but I’m not sure they’ll have the exact one.

[@ARUchannel1]

you look so pretty! you got a new fan

[@JasmynDestine]

Awww yaayyy ❤️

[@she368]

i’ve watched this video so many times because i have curly hair and i want it straightened. like you said, i always straighten my curly hair and i feel better with straight hair. my mom says no and that she’ll ask the lady that does my hair, maybe it’s a possibility. i also want to get it ombré 😂😬

[@kireinosukinahito]

What treatment did you get? Im wondering because I have been getting the milbon liscio treatment for the past 2 years and it always, always must only be applied to soaking wet hair.Even the videos ive watched of it are always on wet hair. Thats the major difference between japanese perm and traditional african american perms. I have never heard of it being applied to blow dried hair before. It seems to me like that would be damaging...

[@JasmynDestine]

It's not damaging only because its not an excessive amount of chemicals the first time it is applied. But overall you are stripping the "curliness" front the strands of your hair, so it is in some way or another damaging.

[@kireinosukinahito]

Lesia DiPenta Yes I get this treatment done myself. I have liscio. Any treatment is damaging if done incorectly...thats why we get professionals to do it. Please dont insult me by saying I need to think before I speak. I am fully aware of how the process works as I have been getting it done myself for some time now. Thanks. :)

[@kireinosukinahito]

Lesia DiPenta Sorry haha. Its cool.

[@Faiththegemini]

you're so pretty!

[@iggaboo12]

I wanna get this for my 18th birthday plus get it dyed. You're gorgeous by the way!

[@JasmynDestine]

+iggaboo12 Thankyou!

[@auroralee5127]

What kinds of products did you use at home for care after having it done? Great video!

[@JasmynDestine]

Products that contain keratin in it, like shampoos and conditioners, and hair oils. And when my hair was bleached I used color safe products and a lot of different oils, because my hair was dry. Coconut Oil, and Argan oil are amazing!

[@ryo3010]

wait so getting this done was it really damaging to your hair and is their a certain age you have to pass or be to get this done? and did u stop just because u missed your curls or cuz the straightening was bad for your hair?

[@sugoi14]

she probably stopped because it cost a fortune to get done all the time.

[@thewings5800]

Love your hair..beautiful healthy and shiny

[@carynncondon]

Hi! Do you know what brand they used on you? Also, did you experience a lot of breakage? Thanks!

[@JasmynDestine]

+Carynn Condon Nope no breakage at all, and I don't know the name of the brand they used.

[@carynncondon]

Wow thats great! Thank you!

[@Verahm.]

Hey very informative vid. I also have curly thick hair and am considering this treatment. Where did you get it done? plz tell me your in NYC X l

[@JasmynDestine]

So the location I went to was HairVillage in woodside queens. And then they have a second location in south slope brooklyn!

[@Verahm.]

Thanxx!!

[@nikkigrigg5470]

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!

[@JasmynDestine]

+Nikki Grigg THANKYOU!!!

[@Nediam20]

You haver gorgeous eyes!

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you!

[@namelessnelly]

goodness, you are so pretty! :)

[@JasmynDestine]

Thanks!

[@s01joner]

You're really pretty! And I love your make up!

[@JasmynDestine]

Aeris Jise Thank you!

[@beverlyrichardson7862]

love it!

[@Mematheone]

Omg you so pretty ugh im mesmerized by your features 😍😍😍😍😍

[@JasmynDestine]

Awww thank you so much!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@alexisrivera4305]

Does the price depend on on the length or how long it takes?

[@JasmynDestine]

+Alexis Rivera The price depends on how long your hair is, and how thick or thin it is. Like if you have 3C hair it will be more for you, than someone else with 2C hair.

[@kireinosukinahito]

Also, I have thick afro textured 4c hair. Even with 4c, you shouldnt have to blow dry it for it to be really straight. I can wear my hair straight out the shower and it is the same texture as yaky straight weave hair. Even if you have naturally super curly hair you shouldnt have alot of volume if the process has been done right. You should check out the Hair's Talent youtube channel. Also the milbon youtube channel to make sure your stylist is doing the treatment correctly.

[@JasmynDestine]

Well I'm pretty sure the process was getting done correctly, but that's really of no worry to me anymore because I won't be getting it done again.

[@lolitta7366]

Jasmyn Destine would you mind if i asked why wouldn't you be doing it again ?

[@JasmynDestine]

I just want to rock my curly hair for a while, cause I did the straightening treatment for about 5 years, and its a lot of work!

[@theonlyrealone11]

Jasmyn Destine so even if I get it done I will be able to get my natural curls back? Like it isn't permanently straight forever

[@beckya640]

SonyManjū where do you get your treatment done? Fingers crossed you're in NYC.

[@Hyoshow]

I know this is 6 years ago but do you ever think you would do it again?

[@kamisenai6304]

I have a lot of questions😌I'm sorry but I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure. 1. is it damaging? 2. if I stop doing it after my first time with my hair fall out? 3. if I tried to curl my hair like Bantu knot or heat curls, will it work or will it be to straight to hold them? 4. would it be good for fine curly hair?

[@misstaniataylor]

+Kamijah Selassie it isn't damaging. and no ur hair won't fall out. And ur hair can be curled afterwards :) it is for all types of hair

[@stephaniealbert4855]

+TheMichikoMalandro Who did yours? My sister been doing this for 5 years, touch ups every 6 months and every time her hair has been pin straight

[@clarisse2410]

+TheMichikoMalandro It's absolutely nothing like a perm it's a healthier version of a relaxer

[@clarisse2410]

***** Experienced it also money well spent

[@raens411]

can you please answer me!! did it damage or burn your hair or did you get any hair shedding or anyy negative results?

[@JasmynDestine]

I answered all those questions in the video and some in the comment section to other people, but no it didn't damage my hair, and I didn't have any breakage, hair falling out, or burning sensation.

[@sheilagrayman7147]

Good job. You're GORGEOUS, too.❤

[@sageblossoms9775]

omg you're so cuuuuuuuuuuute. Great Video

[@Hellkittenn]

You're so pretty!

[@JasmynDestine]

+Hellkitten Thanks girl!!

[@shannybo4310]

My hair is relaxed do you think I could start the Japanese straightening on the roots instead of starting all over? X

[@JasmynDestine]

ShannyBo Yea you can, you should definitely lay off the relaxers for a little while and then you can start the Japanese straightening.

[@user-em2fj5rj8m]

Did you try it? I’m also curious about transition from relaxer to JHS and don’t want to fully grow it out.

[@malaz6223]

can you make a tutorial on the make up your wearing in this video please

[@Nausicaaification]

+jasmyn destine can you get this done on previously relaxed hair?

[@JasmynDestine]

When they apply the treatment to your hair they will only apply it to your new growth, not your relaxed hair because that isn't safe for your hair.

[@basicparty6639]

Can you do a makeup tutorial for your look in this video

[@mikaelahampton3796]

So do you still have to straighten your hair afterwards?

[@JasmynDestine]

Mikaela Hampton My personal experience with getting the Japanese hair straightening done, was that I still had to straighten my hair a little bit after first getting it done, but it was very quick. Just to basically, get rid of any volume, but as time went on and my roots grew in and I definitely had to straighten those so it could blend. Hope that helps!

[@GorieSaysRawrr]

I love your personality 👐

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you!!

[@iNsaNePiNk08]

Does it burn when the chemical is in your hair?

[@Lexichu]

+Nicole M It burned a bit for me but I used to get relaxers that contained lye when I was younger and those burned A LOT more. The burn was very mild with the Japanese thermal.

[@bdwatson814]

love the length

[@margarethviteri4048]

You are very beautiful, I have the karmin hair straightener and I love it.

[@Lucy-ht4cs]

Does Japanese straightening damage your hair?

[@javedping2010]

you're so gorgeous! c:

[@JasmynDestine]

Thank you!

[@kemiwilson1996]

Just had the Yuko done again and the hair dresser applied it on wet hair where before I had it on dry and it hasn't come out the same its still curly I don't wanna say anything she made me sign a disclaimer i paid 450 and I still have an Afro -.- I don't know what to do and when I had it done on dry hair it looked like yours

[@JasmynDestine]

Kami Wilson That sounds like such a bad experience, I'm sorry you had to go through that, maybe try a different place next time. If you live in NY there are a couple of salons you could go to.

[@BQA456]

Gorgeous!

[@lilmrgn7440]

I got this treatment done to my hair, but I already miss my curly hair. If I keep washing my hair after a certain period of time will it wash out? Or will I have to completely grow out my hair ?

[@JasmynDestine]

+Lily Morgan No you can not keep washing your hair and it will come back, its permanent! No going back to curly hair, the only way is to grow it out.

[@jasandreaa]

Your the only person I know with the same spelling in the name as me I luv it and u ur video was on point👌👌👌👌😆

[@JasmynDestine]

Jasmyn Laurenceau Aww thanks! Lol #twinning

[@jasandreaa]

Lol girl

[@haleymoore1022]

can you still wash your hair and it will be straight or will it be curly all over again

[@JasmynDestine]

+Haley Moore It will be straight, because it is a PERMANENT treatment. No going back, unless you chop all your hair off like I did in my video!

[@haleymoore1022]

Oh ok thank you so much

[@me6ur]

Have you ever flexi rod your JS hair?

[@JasmynDestine]

meur urme No I didn't but I did try and bantu knot it, but the hair was too fine to hold. Even with product in it, the only way my JS hair held curls was when I curled it with a curling wand, or curler.

[@giannakieffer1998]

You are so pretty oh my god!!

[@JasmynDestine]

Gianna Kieffer Thank you so much! That's so sweet!!

[@orangetrain123]

Will this cause breakage or falling out of hair? Did you experience any of this?

[@JasmynDestine]

orangetrain123 I didn't have any experience with breakage or falling out of hair. The only time I saw breakage was after I bleached my hair with a blond ombre, and that happened almost 3 years after doing Japanese hair straightening treatment. Hope this helps!

[@orangetrain123]

Thank you very much

[@lovelyfamily7583]

I really love ur hair ,,it looks bawn c,, healthy and alooooot,, it's amazing,,, I really love to see how you set it and blow-dry it,, bcoz my hair is short like urs and I always want to get it look like that but it doesn't,, so please if can make a video on that,, i really appreciate!!

[@JasmynDestine]

lovely family I actually cut majority of my hair off LOL so I wouldn't be able to do a video on that, sorry!

[@lovelyfamily7583]

Oooooh no!

[@PianoChallenges]

Hey, what is the music in the background???? - I absolutely love it, would like to download it :)

[@PianoChallenges]

+Piano Challenges Hey :) don't worry, I just took the time to read your description box, I found the link to the song haha

[@amalia1_]

we're mixed with the same thing!

[@dontyoujustluhhmeh27]

holy shit thought i was the only one who knew this song 😩😩😩😩😩

[@BabyBlueLuchesLips]

Does you texture eventually come back?

[@JasmynDestine]

Destiny Osakwe No your texture will not come back on your permanently straightened hair.

[@BabyBlueLuchesLips]

Jasmyn Destine OK thanks I was thinking of doing this

[@alaynarodriguez1863]

thanks for the info

[@PayelMukherjeeMumpiee]

my hair started falling after permanent straightening, can u suggest me any thing to reduce my hair fall?

[@sims__for__life_148]

Payel Mukherjee hi! So, what kind of texture did you have before? Because when you have curly hair, the hair that normally falls out gets caught. So when you have straight hair it shows more.

[@PayelMukherjeeMumpiee]

sims__for__life_ my hair texture is really curly like frizzy and it was a big mess..but after rebonding my hair started falling and it's been a month..😞

[@Ck-jp3sr]

Payel Mukherjee my hair is like this too but it's because of my diet. My doctor prescribed some pills for me to take for my hair and it makes my hair super strong. & I deep condition it every week.

[@taniqualitt3755]

Okay I have a question...can it work on relaxed hair...also how much money are you talking

[@JasmynDestine]

Taniqua Litt Yes you can do it on relaxed hair, you just need to make sure you don't relax your hair for a little while before you go to get it chemically straightened because you want it to be able to breathe for a little bit before you put more chemicals on it. But Japanese hair straightening is actually healthier for your hair than relaxing it. I remember my hair being really dry the third time I went to do it, so they offered me a hot oil treatment to basically help my hair regain its liveliness. And the whole procedure cost around $230 for me each time I went, but that depends on how much hair you have, how long it is, and how thick it is.

[@tatianas5049]

From what I've heard you're not supposed to put it on already processed hair. So the treatment would probably be applied to your "new growth" , not on your previously relaxed hair

[@JasmynDestine]

Tatiana S Yes you are right. I don't know if I was clear about that but they only put the relaxers on your new growth. Definitely not your previously relaxed hair because that would be very bad.

[@WitchesWithAB]

4 times a year.... is what I do. If you want to transition wear braids. Then you can just trim treated hair each month till its gone.

[@breannabethea2420]

You are gorgeous!

[@JasmynDestine]

Breanna Bethea THANK YOU!!

[@mae_fd738]

You're so prettyyyyy 🤤💜💜💜
