THE 5 WORST THINGS TO DO TO YOUR HAIR| Relaxed hair NO-NOs that are preventing your growth!!!

[@nathaliathom8558]

I tired the rice water method on my relaxed hair and it made my hair was more thick and it was shiny and soft

[@only1mesabby]

What's your method?

[@nathaliathom8558]

@@only1mesabby when you finishing washing the rice leave it for about 7 days and the next day use it on your hair and when your using it use conditioner alone on your hair

[@maameamapomaa]

What kind of rice do you use? Perfumed rice ?

[@nathaliathom8558]

@@only1mesabby I would wash the rice first to get the dirt out and then I would wask the rice again and then I will take the rice water and leave it for seven days and then I would use the rice water and only use conditioner and when I am finish I does leave my hair let it air dry.

[@frieda8956]

Yup my hair does not like protective styles. It likes to be left alone (a low bun, moisture and low manipulation) and deep condition and protein treatment every other week.

[@marlak4203]

Good. I also want to add in that protective styles ALSO includes styling your own hair in ways that protect the ends and such. Just like what you mentioned. Buns, updos, even high ponytails, french rolls, etc. are great because you are protecting the ends. Bantu knots/china bumps are good because the hair is wrapped up. Ends are tucked away. You do NOT always have to use synthetic hair in your head when doing a protective style. Unfortunately thru the years that part has been extremely forgotten. Even a hat and scarf is a protective. Threading too. Any styling that will cover the hair. And women would do them for a little while, like a few weeks to a few months and then wear their own hair. The longest would be a whole season like in thw winter.

Which protein treatment do you use..Aphogee?

[@ceej4103]

I've had great success with Rice water on my relaxed hair. I do the rinse right before I deep condition, So I rinse the rice water off with luke warm water then I apply the deep conditioner and only detangle my hair with the deep conditioner in my hair. That has helped me a great deal.

[@karriswilliams7940]

i used the same method for my relax hair and saw great results. i do it on a weekly basis.

Hello ladies Can you all share step by step what to do for rice water ?

[@kimthevenin8769]

@@Luminousone_624 It does work, but if you're going to use this don't use shampoo and conditioner that has protein, because you can get protein overload. I washed my hair every week with the rice water for a month. Then once every other month because I was getting protein overload. To be honest I prefer cloves water and/or cloves oil. To me I saw better results kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpC5hpdqis2XiZo

One of the things I still utilize in my hair journey that you was saying is not always the best is hair grease idk what makes it grow my hair but for me it works especially if I use it with a natural oil or water....especially before a touch up, I get to softest and most manageable hair with that blue magic..the other things you said is great too those methods help a lot ... different strokes for different folks... The best thing is try everything once and listen to your hair

@@IannaYvonne exactly! And if you think the 70s/80s our women had big hair or long hair because it wasn’t crazy hair styles. And usually the two pony tails or twists. But a lot of intricate hair styles can do damage. I shared your video with a lot of family and friends

[@bringbling]

To all those who wants to live the benefits of rice water, as a 3 weeks former natural and new relaxer-lady: use the rice water in your deep conditioner, pre-poo, pre-relaxer bond treatment, after co-wash, with your moisturizer. You will not have dry brittle hair when you do it like this. You have to remember that you're putting 'water' on your hair not moisture. For our hair, it benefits in moisture comes alive by using or adding moisture with it. Use it before oils, cream, chemical treatments, etc and feel the 'safe natural' benefit of this great method. It really does good work, I must say that I do feel myself safer with products of DIY aspecially when they have results that makes my stylist wonder 🙂.

[@medline5140]

I'm so glad you mentioned rubber bands because it's the ultimate way to ruin your hair! I learn that at an earlier age! I don't know why girls are bringing it back as a trend! Thank you for the tips because listening to one of your videos (btw I'm a new subscriber) when you mentioned scalp massages defiantly helped my hair grow so much! I now incorporate daily scalp massages into my hair routine.

[@IannaYvonne]

Hello!! Thank you for watching and subscribing 💕Yes! scalp massage is AMAZING for growth. It doesn’t matter how exhausted I am, I find the time to include this in my routine.

[@rachelmihigo]

I use rice water as a leave-in and it works wonderful. After shampoo and tshirt dry, i spray it on my hair and follow with my creamy leave-in

[@kamrithomas5757]

I really think it all depends and just like anything you must know your own body and hair. I have used the rubber band method when protective styling and never pulled out my hair. Soaking the bands in oil prevent them from ripping your hair out . Literally slides right out. I would say don’t do it to tight which I would recommend even if you don’t use a rubber band.

[@RMlux88]

I love making and using rice water! It's how I detangle as it make my hair really slick and soft. My tangles kinda melt away and combing through my 12 to 16 week stretched hair literally feels like fresh relaxer. I just use regular white rice to make it. Wonder if it depends on how you make it 🤔

[@krystalrae2006]

I have great success with rice water and I Tobin it’s because I use rice water for about 15 mins and then I apply a deep conditioner with lots of slip right on top of it for another 15 mins. then I detangle in the shower under running water and I add more conditioner if I feel like more slip is needed during the detangling process with my wife-tooth comb. I’m relaxed with mid-back length btw and do this twice a month for a protein and deep conditioner treatment combo.

[@FairyDragon9]

@@Dream-Me nothing. I'm going back natural!! It's way to thin a lifeless.

[@Bee9ce]

@@Dream-Meke sure you’re not deficient in any vitamins. So get blood work done. Try professional relaxer instead of box relaxer if you aren’t already. The box lye relaxer is too harsh on relaxed hair because of the calcium in it. Only thing is, no lye is a little more harsh on the scalp but I haven’t had any issues, especially when you base your hair properly. Make sure you’re not relaxing your hair bone straight, coat your relaxed ends in grease or oil before doing your touch ups, to prevent relaxer run off. Do not comb thru the relaxer when it’s in your hair. If you’ve tried everything, it might be that relaxer just isn’t compatible for your hair.

i've been using rice water on my relaxed hair for two months and its super healthy. it all depends on the method of rice water

[@naturedivine4402]

You're right. When I first used it after my shampoo, my hair was brittle and dry. Since I've started using it as a pre-poo, my hair is very soft and healthy. I use fermented rice water without boiling the rice.

[@kennedy4909]

@@naturedivine4402 i do it the opposite way lol. i rinse and wash my rice, discard the rice, boil the water, let it ferment for 3-7 days and then i use it in between my conditioning and deep conditioning. i think the key is to end and start your wash day with moisture. it can be drying if your hair isn't already hydrated before you do the rice water rinse

I think you should try rice water again! It has never done me wrong. Yes it was a trend but the results are truly amazing. I only use organic rice (I love black rice). I let it sit over night at room temperature in a dark place. It doesn’t stink. I used it as a treatment and I have at least an inch of growth every month. It leaves my hair so soft and totally eliminates breakage (for me). Maybe the method you tried was off. Thanks for the video ♥️

[@PFloyd-px7hm]

hi, are u mixing it with a conditioner or oil first? thx.

[@chantielmc6624]

@@PFloyd-px7hm hi, I use it alone as a protein treatment. I shampoo well first, then I drench my hair with the rice water and let it sit for 20 minutes under heat (I heard on greenbeauty’s channel that there is no point in letting it sit any longer) then I rinse it out and use a DEEP conditioner for 30 minutes to finish. To keep it from being too dry and brittle I stay on top of keeping it moisturized. I hope it works for you!

[@NyaDre]

I think a better alternative for the rice water is the nexxus keraphix line. Especially the treatment masque. It has black rice in it and great slip.

Don’t use protein too much as you can get protein overload and reverse everything. When you start having protein overload, you start loosing more hair and it’s starts getting thinner. Check on Google. If you want to use protein treatment, you should do it once a month (or every 5 weeks) xx

Grease does not clog the scalp. Please understand the science behind a product before giving information. Most black girls grew up with grease and our hair was long.

[@IannaYvonne]

Please do YOUR research. Science shows that grease/ petroleum is in fact harmful for the SCALP. It is a good sealant and helps lock in moisture for the hair strands… but can cause acne, inflammation and worsen dandruff. No dermatologist or educated educated person would ever recommend for use in the scalp.
