I’m natural and I’m not judging her because honestly I feel like having permed hair is easier to maintain and I’m really tempted to perm my hair again

[@bi.fruitsalad]

@@Jaydawayda2_0 samee. I love how it looks and I honestly love anything. But personally I won’t relax it again any time soon because my hair got damanged (probably cause I wasn’t taking good care of my hair and cause i didn’t cover it enough) and was falling out and because I first did it when I was 13 because I thought it would be easier since my mom died so there is not one to really help me but since 15 I’ve stopped and chopped my damaged air and let it grow and now I have braids to protect my hair. If I relax it it’ll be when I’m older and can take better care of my hair loll

[@janereyrules1083]

@@Jaydawayda2_0 Same! I am natural I am not judging anyone. She looks gorgeous and I am also tempted sometimes! All natural women are not "nazies" like all "relaxed" women are not treating "natural" hair as "nappy" or "unprofessional". At the end of the day people do what is best for them. Period!

SOME people's hair actually thrive more when it's relaxed than natural so people with opinions of "don't do it. It's bad for your hair" are speaking for themselves and shouldn't be watching a video about something they don't stand behind. That's what they should be questioning.

That’s what I’m thinking I always see people who claim they have 4c hair and while it looks 4c it still has a slightly looser pattern, cause my hair will not loosen or curl no matter what I do to it or put in it, it is like WIRE. Real 4c.

[@NieshaStevens]

[@AmeraRecords]

I used to feel the exact same way when I first started taking care of my hair but I swear as your hair gets healthier the curls start to pop more because it’s healthier! Comparing my undefined unruly hair to my curls that are defined and soft now you’d think I switched textures but no they’re just healthy. Do what makes you happy but with persistence & patience it may start to look how you want

[@apoetsmile3956]

Sis, before you apply the relaxer, please protect your Whole scalp and the hair line. Avoid over processing when you are ready to re-touch by only applying relaxer to your new growth. I saturate my previously relaxed hair with coconut oil and separate sections and twist the night before I re-touch. I wash, protein treatment, and deep condition the week before. Trim hair every 3-6 months as needed. Happy hair journey!

A lot of these comments are really negative which I don’t get because shouldn’t it the people who have our hair understand that it’s very difficult to manage?! Anyways, if you take care of relaxed hair, it can look good and suit your lifestyle. Natural hair isn’t for everyone and that’s fine, it’s just hair.

[@themelanatednomad6989]

Natural hair isn’t difficult to manage, especially when you understand what your individual hair needs. A lot of people don’t want to take the time to learn and care for their hair. They just want their hair to act like a different texture. I agree with the rest of things you said, just not the difficult to manage part.

[@MyaJoelle]

[@jasmineogunyemi2658]

Its only difficult to manage if you're trying to force it to do what it's not meant to do

[@shontaduncan6072]

@@themelanatednomad6989 Everyone's experience is different, based on your lifestyle etc. My natural hair can probably go in so many cute styles but I just dont have the time / tools / products to do so. I have a VERY busy lifestyle, and time for my hair is very limited. Perhaps I can devote more time to it, fine, but when I DO get a rest period, I don't spend it on my hair. I rest, cause Im always so exhausted. Truthfully, when you DO get a good hair routine down, natural hair is NOT difficult to manage, but you know what the thing is? My best hair routine is wash day, then 2 strand twists and leave it like that until next wash day. Guess what though? BAsed on my job, I will NOT be wearing 2 strand twists to work (just my preference), and I don't really wear wigs or weave. So you see? For me, it is daily combing and THAT'S probably what causes a lot of frustration among naturals. The constant having to comb their hair every day, and if they happen to sleep on a cotton pillow, OH MY GOODNESS---you can imagine our hair in the morning, lol. So it's a lot. It's not easy at all. Im a type 4c. Appreciating all the different points of view though.

This is the same exact thing I went through 4 years ago. I was so tired of maintaining my natural hair. It's only so many times you can dye, flatiron, twist out, braid out, etc. your hair and be satisfied with it, we are women and our hair is our crown and glory and sometimes you can be just unhappy with your crown and glory and you need a change. Sometimes you just got to try shit out. I FULLY support this decision cause guess what, you can get a fresh start once you're tired of that relaxer. Believe me Sis, I done did it all, shaved my head, bleached, dreaded it up, rocked an afro. Right now I'm relaxed and transitioning it back out, I relaxed it about a year ago, now I want to change it up again. It's your hair, experiment. Worse casinario , like you said, it fall out.

You know, I just recently went back to relaxing my hair. I tried going back natural and it didn't work out. I think there is this stigma that if we relax our hair, we aren't "real" black women... and it's not fair because not everyone has time and money to maintain that well neat natural look. Not everyone can handle the natural look. And I felt guilty at first because it's like I said I felt like I was acting like a "real" black woman. But I realize is that having my hair relaxed it suits me and I can keep my hair healthy and maintained. I have a very good hairstylist who's been doing my hair 15 years. And she educates me in how to maintain healthy hair. I am happy like this, I feel like myself again. I also realize that there is no REAL black woman. You simply are who you are. Nerdy, weird, open to a higher calling, whatever...I am who am I and you are who you are. May the LORD bless you all, and may you be who you need to be.

[@kaylove4507]

That's because most of the products for black hair are full of water and alcohol You're not actually getting moisture out of them. Also relaxers open up the hair follicle so that you can absorb moisture and retain moisture for long period of time moisture is what makes the hair grow. Think about why on every hair ad keywords like moisture get rid of frizz get rid of dry brittle hair because all of that is prone to breakage. Every product out is marketed to sell moisture because the hair needs moisture to grow. Even white women and non-black women perm or relax their hair because some of them too have textured hair. There are a lot of Hispanic women with three type hair who relax their hair because they need to lol.

[@thatsmynamja732]

I've always been told that when you have color treated hair you can't get a relaxer. You also should definitely never ever again relax your hair twice in one shot. You're super lucky your hair didn't just tap out the 2nd time around lol. For the touch up I think you should let a professional do it. Despite tbe many comments here imho there's nothing wrong with relaxers. If you have the right people doing them for you and you are good at maintaining your hair then your hair won't suffer. My hair looked amazing when I had it relaxed and the only reason i decided to go natural was because I legit didn't know what my natural hair looked like being that I had been relaxed since I was 5 or 6. Honestly feel like going back relaxed because of the convenience.

I have been natural for about 4 years. I’ve done the big chop a year or 2 ago. I have put heat to it a handful of times since going natural, and have gotten braids a handful of times too, but mostly I’ve been wearing headband wigs and regular wigs. Ive NEVER been fully natural before, ever since i could remember my hair has been relaxed. I don’t recall ever seeing my real natural hair before it first got relaxed. Thats how young I was when it first got done. And so now i have NO IDEA how to do it/manage it. I have 4c, MAJOR SHRINKAGE hair. Ive watched countless youtube videos, spent fuckin tons on hair product to follow these youtube videos and it just never works. But before going natural I would go to the salon to get it relaxed and honestly it grew better and faster when i was going to the shop getting it relaxed. The minute I would stop going it would stop growing, fall out. So now im like, i spend tons on trying to be natural, why not spend on relaxing it myself and maintaining that, at least then i’d be able to wear my real hair more often. But ppl are so negative about everything and so i just dont fuckin know what to do😭😭😭 RANT OVER🤣🤣🤣

It's okay to straighten your hair after being an active part of the natural hair movement. I am feeling like I want to do it too, and I have a whole NATURAL HAIR CHANNEL (not really active though....haven't had much time to devote to it). That's to say I REALLY embrace being natural ,it is more than about the hair to me - I went natural as a part of a wholistic, being the best me kind of thing...meaning what you see is exactly WHO I am, you know? Anyway, I do understand the pressure some persons may feel, as if they are being hypcrite and no longer supporting black beauty, but don't feel that way. The only thing I don't like about straightened hair is that it is chemicals going into my scalp and I really don't like that :(. But I think I want a change and so I might do it. If anything, I'll just cut it all off and go natural again. :)

Same like girls in school be like 'omh I so totally permed my hair when I was younger and my hair dropped' so I'm scared my hair will too especially since it came a long way from heat damage

[@lyricsznn3477]

@@lucashairtie9034 I’ve been relaxed since kindergarten now I’m in 8th and it’s nothing to be scared of I promise 💀just don’t scratch your hair the day before a relaxer

[@randyranda8881]

My mom forced me since kindergarden. It burns your scalp like hell or maybe I was just too sensitive. Always looking kinda ugly, dry, frizzy, tangle... It's only my experience as a child/teens who didn't know better 😂 When you do it once, you have to continue or else you will have to deal with 2 textures. So you do a big chop 🙂 The end lol

[@bluevlade]

do as you want obviously but relaxing your hair is more prone to being damaged. of course you can have relative healthy hair but it’s really not worth it in my opinion.

[@Smwhereasleeprn]

You shouldn’t be. Just weigh the pros and cons.

[@mayahyisrael2473]

I had to stop the video @4:00 because I literally died at the fact you “messed up” and went to go get another box my stomach literally hurts from laughing so hard . The struggle is real ain’t it girl ! 😂

If this ain't the MOST RELATABLE VIDEO...from the blonde dye to being OVER IT! I purchased a relaxer an got all setup but bc it'd been yearsss since relaxing, I decided to look for videos relaxing CURLY HAIR...and your video w/ same HAIR and DYE came up!!! "Relaxing my hair in 2021 bc I'm over it" 🤣🤣🤣 not exact but I felt that! I'm tired of WAKING UP WITH DREDS, or when I do my hair... I sweat and gel fades, hair poof up, etc...😭😭😭 WISH ME LUCK AND THANKS 4 THE PUSH!!!- Sorry for the novel😩🥺🤣 xoxo ❤

Oh goodness when you said your hair was bleached and you want to relax it I was like “ooo let’s see how this goes”😭

[@tigana]

I’m not upset at you for relaxing your hair but please remember little black girls are learning how to view their hair by how we discuss and relate to it.

That part. They are listening and thinking about how people view them and their hair. The boys too...

[@vernitaarty9288]

How long was your hair bleached before relaxing it? I have 4a natural bleached hair and I want to get a relaxer for the first time in 3 years because I am tired but I'm scared of loosing my hair

[@Whippy99]

Everyone should wear their hair exactly how they like it. No exceptions. No judgement. I’m British/European and my natural hair is very, very coarse and curly. I straighten it sometimes. My straight haired friends wear their hair curly - some opting for a perm. It’s just hair! 😊

[@MyaJoelle]

❤️

[@MissCrownRoyal1]

The way you slapped that Vaseline on your head. 🤣🤣

[@chellechellebelle6428]

If you think you cry when you see your natural hair... just wait for the extended use of relaxers. I don't mean to be debbie downer, but it's true. Praying I'm wrong and you have a great experience with that hair crack.

[@hevolocs]

Exactly, just wait to see the aftermath

[@nicoleaideth]

“Hair crack”😭 seriously though!

[@paulinefonglyewquee1349]

Lol back then people were not educated. Now people have relaxed hair for years, long thick healthy hair. No splits ends but I have seen natural hair thin and breaking. So it depends how you look after your hair.

[@hevolocs]

@@paulinefonglyewquee1349 but your hair is manipulated. You literally have to cut it off to get your real hair back. But I see what you’re saying

[@missg4238]

Nah there’s plenty of women with long beautiful relaxed hair. Plenty of vids on YT. You just need to know how to manage your hair, simple tings

[@jasminfoster3475]

You can get a chemical burn , so yes use gloves everytime even with bleach . When it starts to burn it’s time to rinse it, you don’t want scabs in your head. Section in 4s . Use a applicator brush to apply the relaxer , and each section you want to part in layers You start with the middle of the strand don’t put directly on the scalp though then work it to the tips and then the roots .You also want to smooth the layers down with the back of the comb or your finger tips.Go get a trim after especially with that bleach in your head. And they have relaxers specifically for people who have dye in. And no you don’t put the Vaseline on your edges it’s supposed to go on the skin around the perimeter of the hairline to protect your skin from getting a chemical burn, too much product on the hair before applying the relaxer can affect the processing of the relaxer . And never absolutely never reapply relaxer like you did in the same day, you will over process your hair and then end up needing to make a big chop. Wait at least two weeks . A professional could’ve gotten you right for your first time . But when you do a touch up please only apply to the new growth not all over the head again.

[@alexlugo452]

This is the first video i can find where someone is relaxing their color treated natural hairrr😭😭 My hair is in the same state and Im looking to see if it’s safe for me to relax my hair. I last dyed in April

[@onefreebird1]

How relaxer disasters start "I left it in longer than you should" 👀👀👀 OMG SHE DID IT TWICE??? On color treated hair??? Also split your hair into sections to blow dry it.

[@BigBlankoDaBoss]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SCREAMED AT THE SCREEN 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@whyask9864]

Not applying a relaxer correctly can damage your hair, putting another relaxer in can overprocess your hair. You have to be careful and you have color in your hair. In the long run it can weaken your strands and cause breakage. Not judging just stating facts.

[@JuzAmazn]

She said if it falls out it falls out lol.

[@Teenuke]

How did you relax your hair with dye on it without it falling out?

[@vaniapetlane8391]

Girlllll. I completely understand you. I bleached my hair and it's always dry at the ends. I'm doing this soon as it's been a year after the bleaching

[@mamuzo1328]

My hair was relaxed up until I was 15, I loved my relaxed hair and I still do like relaxed hair, I went natural, big chopped and everything because I wanted to try it and I was really into the whole curly thing. I still have natural hair and I still love straight relaxed hair.

Girl, you are soo funny. "If my hair falls out, it falls out." I have thick, short 4c hair, I TOTALLY get it. My kit is extra strength and plan to do mine myself. I can't wait.
