Relaxer warning !! | Requirements for relaxed hair have changed !

[@marleyhill34]

You are right about the stylists not knowing how to tell us to care for our relaxed hair. None of my relaxed hair stylists told me that I needed a protein treatment!! When I went natural it was a white Aveda female stylist with bright pink hair that told me I needed more protein in my hair!! And then I found one from Ateya on old-school KZbin who put me on Aphogee! 15 years I never stopped using Aphogee!! I had to go natural to learn about hair care...smh... Yes I have high porosity natural hair and I rotate my protein and moisture treatments every other week.

[@vickiepullian6122]

Your correct a lot people don’t care about their clients only money

[@thesispieces1]

Weekly deep conditions and once a month protein treatments changed my life being relaxed.

[@lolabunny1157]

Did you do the same when/if you were natural?

[@terrybonham9426]

To stop the chemicals on the hair from continuing to process

[@tblaze7brown788]

That’s one of the reasons that I no longer use a relaxer since 2002 because I have fine hair especially around my edges which are quite finer. The previous stylists seemed they didn’t understand not to over process my hair. I have learned so much from Crystal, thank you. #elitehaircareusa

[@ericalucia7883]

as a student your videos have helped me so much finding out how to properly silk peoples hair cause i had this client that didnt like how i blowdried and straightened her hair i took it to heart cause i want to cater to everyone once i leave school searched up " how to silk press" and clicked on your videos watching 4-5 vids a day. monday i practiced your tips and tricks on my coarse haired manikin i was so surprised how straight the manikins hair was. i cant wait to preform them on people that come to my school thank you so much

[@daetaylor6000]

The purpose of a neutralizer is to bring the ph level back down to a normal level

[@Nat-mw3bz]

I'm currently working overseas, so I have to watch some of your videos to keep my hair healthy and strong. I work in a hot and humid tropical environment and I can't afford ANY heat (flatiron, curlers) on my hair. In addition to that, the water is not the greatest. Everything has to be shipped by Amazon out here, so I'm still able to get my relaxer systems. Rod sets have saved my hair, once it's set, little to no manipulation and it lasts a week. This information about how to properly relax the hair is vital! Thanks!!❤

[@kimjones1254]

Bring the PH levels back to normal

[@harleyharris7346]

It is videos like these that make me want to book in for a relaxer so badly! 😍

[@dwade1495]

My hair is all natural and loc’d but I enjoy watching your videos.

[@tonjajohnson8462]

To stop the relaxer process correct the ph level in the hair and seal the cuticle.

[@joancover5141]

Her hair is beautiful you have done her proud you all ways take care of your clients hair God bless you

[@raunij7967]

The purpose of a neutralizer is to stop the hair from relaxing and straightening. Hey I got a pixie cut should I start the relaxer in the middle or the back and how do I stop perm from overlapping with a pixie. I usually put conditioner and hair grease on the hair that I Don’t Want relax to coat it comment please.🙏🏽

[@kaymel1978]

You are correct, I went natural because my stylist did a number on my hair. At the end of the relaxer a lot of my hair was on the floor. I have been natural ever since.

[@Serenityblu23]

I was natural most of childhood. Didn't get a relaxer regularly until I was older. It was rare for my stylist to cut my ends , or even style my hair after she relaxed it. I went back to natural and refused to go back to relaxers because I experienced so much growth with my natural hair than I ever did with a relaxer. Relaxed hair is harder to take care of imo.

[@jamesgreenhill1978]

Elite hair care the normalizer restores the hairs natural potential hydrogen and a neutralizer is to close the hairs cuticle and harden the hair shaft since the disulfide bonds are broken

[@honeychile829]

Ok! Licensed professional I assume?

[@patmcneil-zz2on]

My hair was over processed. It’s been six months I’m trying to get it healthy again. I wanted to also another relaxer. But I don’t think that would be wise. I am salt and pepper hair. What would be the best products to use ? Love your Videos.

[@raraevans9689]

To stop the processing of the creamy crack on the hair and scalp also regulate the ph😊

[@EricaSmith-b3r]

I wish you lived in New Jersey, you spoke nothing but facts it's hard finding someone that cares about the health of your hair

[@juliescott1504]

My granddaughter is mixed and has been getting relaxers for years ( she’s 23). She had been going to a lady’s home who did a really good job but she stopped doing hair and the new person must have used a different product because her scalp became red, raw and burning and then she got a severe case of folliculitis and was put on antibiotics for 4 months. Thankfully it has cleared up and her natural hair us really coming in but she wants it relaxed again. She will be going to a hair salon dealing strictly with ethnic hair so hopefully she’ll get good results. Do you recommend she can resume relaxers? Your work is fantastic!!!

[@rena4312]

The neutralize is to stop the hair from keep straightening the hair.

[@kymtaylor5890]

A roller set is best after getting a perm😮😊

[@MintakaSaiph]

Yes absolutely. For a blowout effect, I used to wrap my hair then go back under for about 15 minutes. One reason why I don’t want to get my hair relaxed again. I’m not great at roller setting my own hair and it feels like no matter how long I sit under, one piece is always slightly wet. I like the flexibility of wash and go too much.

[@traveldreamer4616]

Her hair looks healthy and beautiful. Awesome work.

[@decodesigns14]

No hair is healthy with chemicals

[@bridgetteknox8319]

Neutralizer/stops the process of the relaxer and it restores the pH of the hair

[@yolanda5756]

Her hair is beautiful. I love watching the trims & cuts. I almost shaved all of my hair off because it was just falling out and has gotten so thin. Practically bald. Then I realized my licensed stylist was not properly washing out the relaxer. I would get in the shower and my hair would smell like perm! Went to a new more seasoned stylist and my hair is already growing back.

[@humblediva4jesus]

😮😮😮😮😮😮wow! Glad that found a good 1

[@BabyOhBabyGo]

One of the reasons I stopped going to stylist to get my relaxer was bc they only washed my hair like 2 times. My aunt started doing my hair, and she washed it a minimum of 5 times. RESULTS: my hair grew from chin length to bra strap length.

[@OlgaGuerra-hs8vy]

The neutralizer takes out any relaxer that’s left on hair 😊

[@EverSoNina]

You are so thorough and informative - love your videos!

[@DMV_B]

Purpose of neutralizer is to adjust the pH. It works with pH of the relaxer to neutralize the sodium hydroxide or whatever active was in the relaxer? Normalizer puts moisture back in the hair?

[@tinabrown3303]

Wear you are located at,and what you said was right about some hairstyles and you are doing a great job

[@AndreonLong]

I would definitely trust you with my hair 💇🏾‍♀️. Thank you for this video.

[@kimjones1254]

When is the blow dryer coming out?

[@B_ready4671]

I also use a naturalizer after a color treatment..the description of the dryer sounds cool, I nvr heard of that befor...didnt know there is an elite hair scarf..I need that!

[@AcieWHA]

Does low porosity hair need a stronger relaxer?

[@therelationshipequalizer7667]

I was taught not to put the relaxer directly on the clients scalp, has that changed or has relaxers changed?

[@shantatrammell7676]

It needs to be off scalp. Make sure you base scalp before applying relaxer. I am a licensed Cosmetologist and Cosmetologist Instructor for 19yrs

[@paulettepalmer7098]

[@antionettebrown2141]

To help the porosity

[@Serenityblu23]

I went to a professional and got a relaxer. When it started tingling i enformed her. She told me to wait because my hair is so thick it need to stay on as long as possible. She was on her phone as well

[@TiffaniHall-g7l]

Ulta Neglect!

[@janecampbell5263]

lol..i love the way u school some people...amazing work 💯🇨🇦🇯🇲

[@acer8405]

What relaxer are you using please and do elite have a relaxer

[@Misskwu]

Do you have products to counteract shedding? My hair sheds a lot

[@bonitami_amor56]

I honestly believe Jamaica has the least experienced and knowledgeable stylist. They definitely need to watch some of these educational videos to improve on their skills. They are all about the money.

[@pinkyspalace4378]

Neutraliser is to stop the processing? I've relaxed my hair myself for about 20 yrs. It's important to be careful

[@PaulaChristian-e2o]

When are your blow dryer going to be on your site ❤

[@cherylmeunier7461]

Normalizer or neutralizer to stop the relaxer processing

[@zeeechanged5352]

That hair is fine and ate up. Tell your clients if they don't like hooded driers don't get relaxers. That was too much heat for relaxed hair

[@kearabevels]

What brand relaxer do you use?

[@0tismadaline]

Awwww great sharing ❤and the tips 😊

[@lynmcc7121]

neutralizer stops the "processing" of the relaxer

[@sylmanyeki9323]

The neutralizing shampoo stops the relaxer process… after about 3 shampoos

[@daisykenney6860]

Exactly

[@jewellemason4614]

Nice job

[@1krzypraz]

The neutralizer is to stop the straightening process? I’m natural now, but I was relaxed for years. I think I remember what the neutralizer is used for. Lol

[@wendybaron2574]

The purpose is to stop the action of the relaxer. Is that correct?

[@darlenebell3420]

To return clients ph balance and to stop the process

[@47rebecca]

Do it put the PH back into the hair.

[@IamLeyaM]

I use a comb attachment and have always had long, healthy hair. I don't see what's the big deal

[@cherylmackey3944]

You use neutralizer to stop the chemical process

[@annallen8274]

Neutralizing shampoo is to stop the chemical process of the relaxer

[@eufriandeletang9522]

Can I alternate hair botox treatment with relaxer?

[@ghac00839]

Relaxers should not be applied directly on the scalp, NEVER, even when based.

[@patriciamilburn1252]

Hello CRYSTAL ❤

[@curlieeloks3032]

This is not to fear monger but out of concern for my brown girlies . Relaxers cause cancer 😢. So many articles on it and a group of brown ladies are currently suing . No wonder there is such an uptick in cancers in women . Please research I just want Brown girlies to be safe ❤

[@beewest5704]

They are hormone dysruptors. Never relax anyone under 8 years old. Do not relax on you period. Do not relax if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying go get pregnant. Do not relax if you have or had any female cancer. There has been cancer links so better to stop relaxing completely.
