[@myhairdays9783]

I completely understand relaxing it.. it can be so time consuming and tiring doing our natural hair, and half the time it won’t even come out the way you want it to. I’ve contemplated it so many times

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Thank you. Yes, it being so time consuming with ultimately my reason for relaxing it. I love natural hair and will probably go back to it at some point but right now I'm enjoying the quick mornings of get ready :)

[@mademoisellek4289]

Same here!

[@deejai1173]

I can agree with this, I swear…

[@Kshipss]

Put towel on your neck. Put vaseline or grease on your edges and ears. Soak a t-shirt in warm water incase relaxed goes on your skin. Rub it with the t-shirt soaked in warm water. Use a neutralising shampoo if using a lye relaxer that doesn't include it in the box. Lovely video and hair😊

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Thank you! 😊

[@stephaniep7566]

That came out really cute! I am getting over the natural hair also. It's summer and this humidity is a beast! If you want curls you can always do a twist out.

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Yes! The humidity is too much. But I agree. There’s so many ways to still get curls!

[@annekiarie3143]

The thickness and lusciousness of that hair shows that you take good care of your hair. It looks moist too.

[@QuonnaLeshae]

😂aww thank you!

[@eristotle2380]

ay yi yi! it's gorgeous, and it looks like you really do have the best of both worlds. it's still thick, and you can make it sleek if you want. i think your results are really what black women are looking for with a relaxer (texturizer). kudos to you, and thanks for sharing!

[@QuonnaLeshae]

I'm definitely feeling like I have the best of both worlds right now. I'm having so much fun trying out some of the sleek styles that were a little more difficult to do before. thank you so much for watching!

[@heavnli_goddess6052]

Beautiful results!!

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Thank you!

[@mariefloyd6174]

In order to prevent the burns and stings to the skin you have to avoid scratching the day before and the day of the application of the relaxer.

[@tamienglish3877]

Hi there, your video was promoted on my channel. The way I see it, I believe more black women will go back to relaxers. I like my natural hair, but my life will be busy in a couple of months. So I'm contemplating to relax my hair after 22 years. Your hair is beautiful 🥰

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Thank you so much! ❤️ I agree. I keep reminding myself that at any time I get ready, I can transition back to my natural hair.

[@countrysleaze7962]

[@undergroundrnow]

Love this video and your accent is amazing

[@Kshipss]

You can do a corrective relaxer when relaxing your next new growths 😊

[@natrlchallenge]

If I ever go back to relaxers, I would definitely texlax. It seems to me that my relaxed hair grows better than my natural hair. I'm going to try heat stretching before I use the chemicals. I don't want bone straight hair.

[@Nicole-si3ck]

It’s the same. A hair stylist explained it’s still damaging to your hair.

[@cavirich7243]

My hair was literally healthy as hell with a relaxer but even more natural! I love either or they both work

[@LudmilaS85]

Watching this while relaxing my hair... lol. You have beautiful hair. 😍

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Lol good luck! Thank you 🥰❤️

[@tamekasantiago8237]

This really helps me sis … I was told that I shouldn’t relax my hair or recommend for me to relax long hair my hair about shoulder length or a little pass my shoulder, I been natural for about 11 + years now and I’ve been thinking about relaxing it now!

[@QuonnaLeshae]

I’m glad it was helpful! I think it’s very possible to have longer relaxed hair. ❤️ if you do it, you’ll have to come back with an update lol

Update I have the biggest crush on you and my husband asked me why I’m blushing 😂

[@QuonnaLeshae]

😂😂😂 I never think I have an accent but people point that out to me so much. ☺️🤭 also thanks, now I’m blushing!

[@meelliemoe]

For this relaxer your plan needed to have been one half then wash out and then complete. Just because of the time needed to get the product completely on there. 6-8 weeks you can do a corrective relaxer. I saw you needed to mix at least two kits though you have so much hair. You did good. Hair looks good.

[@QuonnaLeshae]

Yes, for sure. I honestly didn’t feel like I had that much hair until I had already started doing it lol. But thank you!! ❤️

[@richbtch9008]

Geesh all the natural girls are getting relaxers. Yours is the first I have seen that didn't look flat and lifeless.

[@kaylove4507]

I knew it was time for me to get a relaxer when I realized that even the curls on my 3C3B wigs didn't stay lol. Those curls would last literally for about 30 minutes after you put product on it and then they would swell up And these are wigs natural hair wigs by the way but still a wig with a looser curl pattern and I will still having problems with it The hair was still swelling up I had to comb it out it was shedding. On a wig!! So I knew it was time to just get a relaxer because you can't do much with curls I don't care what your curl pattern is it can be 3C or 4C they still have to be treated in moisturized all day everyday for it to look nice.

[@miekaxiii]

Relaxers aren’t as strong as they once were, they only texlaxed now

[@QuonnaLeshae]

😂oh no, so that means I’m gonna feel like this each time

[@mariefloyd6174]

You don't have to be nervous 😉, just remember to avoid scratching that scalp before and after the application of the relaxer. Get some good hair products to experiment with and get straight 😃.

[@britneyh8679]

Happy and relieved that it came out ok..... but still prefer the natural hair for some reason.

[@user-dy8dx9ry3w]

How long does its effect remain on the hair and is it permanent? Or that the hair will return to what it was before

[@QuonnaLeshae]

It is a permanent change. You can do touch ups to the roots as they grow in every 6-8 weeks. The only way to have the natural hair back is to not do the touch ups and allow your natural hair to grow back out or to cut off all of the hair that has already been chemically altered. :)

[@priscillabaileymusic]

Natural hair community karens 😆 your hair turned out great.

[@db6881]

[@ShesWilling]

😂 I’m doing it am I really doing it ok I’m doing it lol love it

[@charivari85]

❤❤

[@christiezacharie6807]

When you do your touch ups now, put a towel around your neck. That’s to prevent the relaxer from having contact with your skin. Other than that, your hair came out beautiful.

[@QuonnaLeshae]

thank you ❤️❤️

[@Ronldbx6]

Your mental thought process 🤣🤣🤣 relatable.

[@QuonnaLeshae]

😅😅😅

[@kessalahrmer1820]

How do I know if my hair is healthy enough to relax ?

[@QuonnaLeshae]

If you’re already experiencing breakage, I would not recommend relaxing. When your hair sheds, if it sheds in full length strands then you have healthy shedding. If when shedding, you’re getting a lot of small, short pieces that don’t typically match up to the full length of your hair, then you know you’re experiencing breakage from unhealthy strands. That would be one of the main factors I’d consider when deciding.

[@geministar6167]

Very cute

If you want clear, flawless skin & zero scalp issues, eliminate *ALL dairy* from your diet for at least 90 days & change your main beverage to 90% water. I did that 3 yrs ago - no more scalp issues & crystal clear skin. I rarely wear makeup anymore.

[@prettykiwikawaii1995]

I just relaxed my hair in April. ONLY BECAUSE MY HEALTH. my blood is @ level 2. Last year I almost passed out because of wigs and heat. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE JUDGE ME OR OTHER PEOPLE! Or FKN ASK!! My hair is chin length and thick. I even used two boxes, next time I getting 3. ( I’m trying to be cheap ) I did have allergic reaction & Chemical burn on my ears (Only because I’m allergic to Perms and everything) For all the Negativity: I don’t believe it’s a Cruelty Free & Vegan Free Perm 🤣 Ki$$ My A$$ Yeah for thick roots get the Super relaxer. But you’re fine because it depends on your scalp and of course personal preference . I have sensitive scalp so really I don’t suppose to be getting perms 🤣 YOLO AND IM THINKING ABOUT CUTTING IT WHILE IM RELAXED. ( Oooo a Pixi cut with long side part bang 😩🥺❤️❤️See now you got me started and acting crazy.
