Relaxer Wash Day | 9 Month Relaxer Retouch | Niara Alexis

[@reneeeli8645]

I relax my hair every two months after stopping the whole stretching thing. My hair is thicker, longer and has almost 0 breakage. stretching looks great on you, but for me I was able to go from shoulder length to waist length hair once I stopped in just a year. You really have to stay in tune with your hair to know what it wants. Great video as usual

[@PaigeSamaroo]

I love being apart of the relaxed community ❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!!! Your hair is THRIVING! Give me alllll the chemicals 😭😭

[@NiaraAlexis]

I can watch you do your hair all day, it looks so good.

[@NiaraAlexis]

Thank you so much

[@missg4238]

Such a good point regarding the constant relaxing. I like to relax no more than 3 times a year, sometimes just twice a year. I like to have decent breaks between relaxing. Your hair looks gorgeous lovely and thick.

[@NiaraAlexis]

Thanks for sharing!!

I love me some relaxer day, hair looks healthy and beautiful 😊

[@NiaraAlexis]

Thank you ❤️

[@starlettehandy4331]

22:05 Beautiful! I only relax my hair once or twice a year, as well. I put mine in August, and will not be relaxing again until April or May of 2024. Now it’s time to protective style. My styles include braid outs, knotless braids, or I pin curl and leave it pinned in a cute style until my next relaxer in 2024. Thank you for sharing.❤

[@valeriepittman1753]

I feel you on the washing. I use the ORS neutralizer first before I use the Motions one because the ORS is a sulfate shampoo and it lifts everything off better. That way the motions neutralizer acts like a moisturizing shampoo before my conditioning treatment. Got to get every little bit of relaxer out.

[@abenaagyeiwaa7220]

I love your hair and your expertise with the flat iron❤

[@santaolivera2276]

SO SATISFYING! Your hair is so shiny, healthy, and bouncy. I love it! I am definitely going to follow your tip for the color rinse when I relax my hair next week.

[@NiaraAlexis]

Yes please try & let me know how it turns out ❤️

[@santaolivera2276]

​@@NiaraAlexisUPDATE: It worked great!🎉 I am doing a color rinse on relaxer day from now on. This was also the longest stretch I have ever done (6 months). So I was so happy to see how soft and shiny my hair was at the end of the process. You are giving really great tips Niara! Keep the good work 👏🏾 ❤

[@carlamoore1865]

Always a pleasure Niara your hair is thriving and your skin is too. You are on my favorites list. Very relatable I apply my color the very same way and same brand.❤❤❤❤

[@srobinson4070]

You are really good doing your home relaxer. My hair dresser does the same as you , she only relax my regrowth and washes my hair with the neutralising shampoo as much as you until there is not a trace of pink. Then she washes again with Davines shampoo and Davines conditioner, ( Italian Organic Range ); twice. My favourite leave in conditioner is Revlon Uniq One 👌

[@NiaraAlexis]

Thank you 😊

[@whatwouldMimido]

Every time I watch your videos, I get the itch to relax my hair. ❤ Do you do more of a texlax? It looks like your hair still has some texture, which is what I’d want if/when I decide to relax!😍

[@NiaraAlexis]

My hair does still have some texture but I wouldn’t say that I Texlax my hair

[@beckya640]

I was wondering how you got your hair to have so much volume and movement, and it’s really because you’re not relaxed straight straight. Your hair is straighten to a slight wave? Maybe I’ve been processing my hair too straight with relaxers, because I barely keep texture.

[@prieryals4945]

Beautiful hair love! Would u recommend stretching your hair for 9 months Every year?

[@NiaraAlexis]

Only if it’s not damaging your hair. Some ppl can’t stretch for that long. This is the longest I’ve done. I usually do 6 months or so

[@cheerin7016]

Does your hair get stuck at shoulder length bc of this method like do you constantly have to clip ends bc of the over processed part I want to try this but don’t want to get stuck at a length

[@NiaraAlexis]

No my hair has actually grown quite a bit since last year

@@NiaraAlexis oh ok 👍🏾

[@___Victoria_sunny]

One question do you use lye or no lye relaxer? Have you ever covered this topic? Maybe an idea for a video. Thanks a lot

[@NiaraAlexis]

Yes I just said this morning I need to get more knowledgeable about this & plan to cover soon

[@jewellsmith9499]

I’m a natural 4c girl and I’m thinking of relaxing my hair. However I’m moving to steamy Houston Texas. I have been wearing braids for 3 or 4 years and my hair is at its thickest and longest. I have no Idea what to do.

[@NiaraAlexis]

Not sure what to say about this one. Tbh if I lived in a warm climate like that I’d probably wear braids 80% of the time and wear my hair out when it cools down

[@mobiletherapeuticsbyshaniq8501]

Pretty. Does it ever tingle even if you don't leave it in long? Is that relaxer for sensitive scalp?

[@NiaraAlexis]

Yes it does that’s just the nature of relaxer & no it’s not specifically for sensitive scalps

[@mobiletherapeuticsbyshaniq8501]

@@NiaraAlexis doesn't tingling means scalp is creating blisters? In my experience whenever there is tingling in my head that's a sign blistering is forming and it always turns out that the spots where I got tingling is where I had a slight blister scab. Hopefully your tingling haven't led to blister scabs

[@PADIANGELA]

What relaxer do you use pls

[@NiaraAlexis]

Check description

[@Sweetlady1916]

[@lonnamarie3673]

Hi! How long after taking out your protective style did you relax your hair??

[@NiaraAlexis]

I took my braids out the day before

[@clarissabrown9192]

what do you think about using lotta body after relaxing ? i've seen and been to use it for better results , clearly you don't lol your hair looks great jw whAt you think

[@NiaraAlexis]

I’ve never used so I wouldn’t know to have an opinion on it

[@annep7602]

Question , you probably answered already but after getting your relaxer when do you wash your hair again ?

[@NiaraAlexis]

I wash my hair weekly

[@annep7602]

Thank you I’m on track. I literally followed your routine and this is the best relaxer application I’ve ever done. I always want to cut my hair and restart but I’ve decided I’m just going to learn how to take of it. Thank you for the motivation to do so🤍

[@TheCelmap]

What do you rinse your hair with? I want to start rinse my hair, but I'm afraid to damage it.

[@NiaraAlexis]

The rinse I use is linked in the description! It’s not damaging it’s just a tint of color

[@gwenj6661]

Looks great. ❤

[@NiaraAlexis]

Thank you! 🤗

[@sageataina7651]

I need to learn how to dye my hair, the grays are coming in around the edges 😢

[@NiaraAlexis]

Just get a rinse! You just put it on like conditioner let it sit & rinse it out.

[@tink5225]

is there a reason why you don’t relax the ends?

[@NiaraAlexis]

Because the ends are already relaxed. You only relax from root to tip if it’s a virgin relaxer aka you ever never relaxed/are fully natural

[@IAmHoodBooger]

Its definitely longer and very healthy, keep slaying queen.

[@k0k01]

I was told that no lye is the best because of the recent studies linking lye relaxers to cancer. Do you have a no lye relaxer that you recommend?

I don’t

Finally! 😂

[@tshelikabarroso3720]

Do you dye your hair? I really love how dark it is, my hair used to be very black but after doing my relaxer touch up for the 2nd time is becoming brown, do you know why?

[@dollyrevenge98]

She used a black rinse in this video. My hair is also like yours, it gets brown overtime and I think it's a combination of your natural hair color, the chemical process of the relaxer, type of relaxer used and sun exposure.

[@NiaraAlexis]

I used a rinse! My hair is naturally brown so I just use a rinse every couple of weeks to keep it dark

[@phyliciajackson9937]

What is the rinse that you use @NiaraAlexis ?

[@brittneyjohnson8942]

Did u retain length? Or do u prefer shoulder length hair?❤

[@NiaraAlexis]

I did! I’m going to film another update because you really can’t tell with this back shirt. It’s falling a little bit below the frame now! When it’s freshly curled I feel like I can’t tell but now a few days out & my hair has dropped I can for sure see the difference

[@nothing.nice.]

Does stretching relaxer not make your hair fall out? Even if I stretch for 2-3 months my hair starts to fall out when i brush it. Is it because my hair isn’t trained to stretch that long or something? Please help 😭

[@NiaraAlexis]

Everyone’s hair is different. I don’t have an issue stretching for 2-3 months. After that I wear my hair in protective styles

[@nickyclauchar1112]

Hello Niara, your hair is lovely, how long did it took you to apply all your relaxer?

[@NiaraAlexis]

10 minutes or so

[@analove2783]

Finalllyyy 🎉🎉💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@NiaraAlexis]

💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@___Victoria_sunny]

Yeah the day has come!! Your hair is longer definitely! Hope you dont cut it I dont know if I missed itbut you didnt base your scalp before the relaxer? And one more question: leaving the relaxer when its tingling or burning… I lnow you can tell the difference but maybe others cant? Thanks for the video, your hair came out very well, I hope youre happy wlth it

[@NiaraAlexis]

No base on my scalp. I’ve never really used one. And I leave the relaxer on for 10 minutes. That’s the time I need for my hair to process. I don’t do any longer or shorter because then my hair will be over/under processed

[@traceylennon1204]

I'm watching this again. I notice you don't go underneath the section to apply the relaxer,you only do the top part of the section!

[@___Victoria_sunny]

How long does it take you to relax you hair from second 1 where you start applying it until you wash it out? Some relaxed girls like hairlicious say it shouldnt be more than 25 minutes overall, because to have stronger hair you should relax like 85-90% max, not full bone straight, leaving some texture makes it stronger

[@NiaraAlexis]

I definitely have some texture in there after I relax. It’s around 20 minutes including the 10 mins I let it process
