Hi my loves! Finally filmed my relaxer update🥰 let me know if you have any other questions 🤍

[@maryamali9136]

Hii kamsi, the link to the relaxed hair video isn’t working

[@nicholebent2661]

What mild relaxer brand can you recommend. Thank you

[@yhudiejamesvlog1935]

I am a Natural hair content creator and I will like to point out that it’s possible to have a healthy relaxed hair…. As long as you are moderate on the chemical usage. The goal is to care for your hair whether natural or relaxed.

[@kamsinnamani]

Thank you

[@Survivormj]

Thank you for saying this.

[@deealia2568]

Nope! Anything chemically altered to that extent is by its very nature of being unnatural, unhealthy

[@deealia2568]

Yes, the goal is to care for the manufactured hair so it doesn’t break, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy! That’s like saying weave is healthy. It’s over. All you are doing is maintaining it

[@crumbz2106]

a wig/weave is not hair that is still attached to a human scalp and still alive. So the comparison don't make sense.@@deealia2568

[@tay.chalant]

This video is confirmation, relaxing my hair tonight , I can’t take it anymore

[@corie3586]

Me too 🎉

[@rebeccay-borotto2090]

😂😂😂 talk about impulsivity, you go girl!!

[@PelaeloMatabane]

Every time I say I am going to relax, someone complements my hair and I rethink the relaxing.

[@konvoswithkai2]

I hear you cuz babayyyyyyy

[@nazikiwe8259]

This is a good conversation to have - not being a slave to fake hair whether you're natural or relaxed.

[@D0NCH33T0]

This. I really hate having weave in, especially since my dry 4c hair grows dandruff too easy, but two strands kinky twists are the only ways to keep my hair manageable

[@sydbey947]

Or hats 😂

[@officialvanny]

I relaxed my natural hair last year after 3years and am happy i did. It makes your life so easier, easy to comb and style.

[@gifttwikirize7066]

And cheap

[@heathernicole8856]

I’m going back to relaxed hair. I’m tired of knots and tangles. Relaxed hair is more manageable

[@still.sophieee]

Relaxed or 4B/C hair, they’re all natural. It’s from “Your” roots. I think what should be more important is that your hair is healthy💯 I’ve watched you slay your relaxed hair and can’t dare to hate, it’s a great compliment to your look and aesthetic, I love it🙇🏽‍♀️❤️

[@kamsinnamani]

Awww thank youu🤍

[@Sisima13]

I used to be relaxed my whole life and decided to go natural during Covid lockdowns because I felt adventurous 😂 Now I don’t really see myself going back. I feel like relaxed hair is pretty high maintenance too because you always have to keep up with the relaxer touch ups and make sure to find a way to keep your hair from shedding excessively(which I was not good at 😅) I’m honestly more of a lazy natural, just wash my hair once every 1-2 weeks and leave it in a protective style. That’s what works best for me. At the end of the day, relaxed or natural you still need to make some kind of effort in taking care of it. Just do what’s best for you 😊

[@Tahiha]

I’m 48 and my “hairstyle” since high school has always been a bun or ponytail too. It compliments my face the best. Even when I wear wigs it’s in a low bun or ponytail.

[@ifelajakehinde]

She has spoken what has been on my mind of late😂. My hair is done if I’m on my natural hair period😌💅.

[@fromsilver5]

I was contemplating stopping relaxers as I have only had 2 starting last year and want to be healthier but the maintenance involved and how I just want to look DONE out the shower very minimal work involved has me reconsidering 😀

[@IAmPhasion]

I love my natural relax ponytails that’s my signature . It’s so timeless and classy

[@kamsinnamani]

Thank youu 🥰

[@ladyj8552]

When I was still on relaxed hair, I leave my hair for 6months before I relax again so I just relax my hair just twice in a yr. It helped me retain lenght. But I notice my hair was shedding too much at a time so I decided to go natural

[@teyoo.lindsay]

it's interesting that you get comments on your hair not being 'done'. it's been the opposite for me. since my relaxer in Jan 22, I keep getting compliments on how beautiful the hair looks, how it's made me look more mature etc. people will always have weird opinions lol

[@kamsinnamani]

Lol really…I get compliments but then followed up with when I’m doing my hair🤣

[@teyoo.lindsay]

[@kikaamadin]

Not the shade at indomie please 😂 The slick back hairstyle fits you alotttt and it has this clean look I use to be a relaxed hair girl right from childhood,but I decided to go natural for change of look, something different I guess, sometimes it can be a lot when managing, but I love it though, I enjoyed the video btw ❤️

[@zikoraozor8947]

I love your honesty Kamsi and appreciate your transparency!!! Hair is beautiful either way, and I am relaxed as well. Was natural 6 years and was very unhappy and too time consuming. I love being relaxed again and I am NEVER going back natural lol

Your favourite hair style is my favourite hair style on myself too. The bun just brings out all the beautiful features.

[@CmartY66]

Honestly I can’t wait to relax my hair. I have such thick natural hair which really overwhelms me these days, limited hairstyling and what not. I want to leave my hair out more.

[@Theonlinebillionaire22]

This is really lovely!!! Can you please do a video on the real effects of Edge control 😊

[@uchechinwanosike4458]

I can relateeeeeeeee oh my! I can so relate to that feeling of bondage. I really am not one who has the time to care for my hair and natural hair requires just so much care. Anytime I loose my hair, I have to quickly make a bew hair because caring for natural hair is just a lot. I have full hair and so I can't decide to just leave my hair packed when it's natural and it's so annoying

[@heyitsjojoo]

I started my relaxed hair journey in 2021 and I basically relax my hair after 4 months 😅 ☺ 😌 crazy, but it helped me get the length I never thought I'd get So, it's a 4 months interval duration for me before I relax my undergrowth.

[@Asmyyyyy]

Love the detailed wardrobe doors😍

[@arvyarvy4242]

in the last 4 years ive gone through natural to microlocs , last weekend i cut of my locs (big chop) i want to grow my hair out this time straight and ill be "heat training" its a great alternative to relaxer

[@hassana_xo]

It’s the “the ponytail that doesn’t belong to me” for me 😂😂❤ You do you kamsi I was relaxed before now I’m natural

[@manonkatseye]

How is it? Does you hair grow more when you go natural or when it is premade

[@hassana_xo]

@@manonkatseye well I’m just 1 yr 5month natural and it’s giving 4c length Depends on how fast your hair grows. Mines slow

[@marilynnscorner345]

I have bee natural for 6 yrs and i'm getting mine relaxed as well.........mine is too much and i'm tired of walking around being a bag lady and looking unkempt.....i'm getting it relaxed so i can manage it better

[@hilaryantwi9523]

Relaxing my hair tomorrow

[@armygurl399]

I was relaxed from the age of 9 to about my late 20s. My hair was so healthy. I’m now natural and don’t wear wigs and braids maybe 5 times and I’ve been natural for over 10 years. I’m not considering going back relaxed.

[@PaulineMitchell]

Yes girl, I love your attitude you definitely motivated me to go through with it today. I am running to the store to get my perm

[@aramideugbomeh]

Your hair is beautiful, whichever way you choose to flunt it. It'll still be beautiful. And you're looking real good here.

[@nalaamour]

Totally agree!! My hair grows better and much faster when relaxed! 💯

[@Ngozin1]

I think a big part of your decision is you didnt wear your natural hair out in styles for your own personal reasons. So feeling like you need to always wear a wig or braids is def overwhelming. Been natural 18 years and recently thought of perming but barriers are maintenance and pain(scalp always burned). These stylist are wildin with their prices and I cant be bothered. But i wish I could wear a sleek ponytail. Would be my go to style and make life easier!

[@perryrand876]

omor the quality of this video 🔥🔥🔥

[@kamsinnamani]

[@EntreamigosconMarlene]

Im in the same boat, Im thinkinking to go back to relaxer because I feel like i dont show my hair, its too much, but im scare.

[@chinenyeosuji8267]

We need a hair care routine and tips

[@toshag888]

Oh my goodness… I absolutely love wearing my hair in a pony tail pulled back. I get the same bs about doing my hair… I don’t like how I look with weave or wigs and I don’t like wearing my hair down all the time🤷🏾‍♀️

[@agirlhasnoname6306]

In ALL cultures, your hair in a bun or pulled back in a simple pony is considered "not done" lol. Doesn't matter that it's neat... it's just too simple to be considered "done". But I love it...simple, classic, chic

[@Dumebinweze]

I was relaxed my whole life. And my hair was long. I decided to transition to natural hair because my relaxed hair was too thin. And i always liked to texture of my new growth. I wear out my natural hair the way i used to wear out my relaxed hair. I used to wear my relaxed hair in skick back bun. And thats the same way i always have my natural hair.

[@ibcntvirahyahbroadcasts4607]

And you look beautiful! I'm thinking about it as well...my hair has a great length and I'm a little nervous.

[@Dandydiddy]

Hi kamsi please could you drop the hair routine

[@hybridinfodesk409]

I was relaxed for a long time. What turned me off is they wanted to charge me $200 for having long hair every time I went. I was like no not gonna happen. So, I cut 6 inches off it, then another 5, then gradually cut the rest of the relaxer out. Now I am really enjoying my natural hair 5 years later. Wish I had done it sooner. It is beautiful and does different things depending upon the products. It drove me crazy at first, never the same, but now I love it. Like her I still wear my face a lot. No makeup, though.😊😊

[@prudievibes]

Just relaxed my hair...so m here to read to comments

Thank you Kamsi. I hate the school of thought that your hair must be braided or under a wig always as an African woman for your to be beautiful. I noticed you always wear your natural hair more and I love that. Once my natural hair grows and I can pack it into two or one puff, I'm done with wigs.

[@sydbey947]

I’m about to color my hair. No relaxers for meeeee. I love this video because I just bought a perm and I was moving towards giving myself a relaxer because I’m stressed tf out with this naptural ish. But Beyoncé said she’s natural so who am I to say it’s not possible. Then again Bee be stressed too 😂

[@flythrive6633]

Also, you are so beautiful and the hairstyle on you looks great! No honestly how come other races can have teh simple ponytails and their hair os done but when we do simple hairstyles like a back or updo ponytail ts not fully done.

I have been relaxing my hair nonstop from the time I was 9 years old. I will be 56 next birthday. I have a full healthy head of hair. I have never worn braids or wigs. I relax my hair every 8 weeks. I wash my hair every weak and deep condition every other week. I take a regimen of vitamins and I eat healthy. I also get regular trims. I have absolutely no problems with my hair. Its cheaper to maintain and less fuss. My mother had it relaxed because I had plenty thick hair and she has problems combing it. At the start of menopause I had breakage and I just cut it into a shorter style until grew back out. There is no debate about relaxed or natural. You just have to do what is right for you.
