The Ultimate Hair Growth Tips: Growing Relaxed Hair Beyond Bra Strap Length | April Sunny

[@msmu19]

Yup!! Me 🙋🏽‍♀️I’m 51 and been natural for 30 years.. this summer turned me all the way off with my hair 🙄 I got sick n tired of my hair poofin up after being outside for 5 min and after shower! I relaxed it last week and IM SO HAPPY!! I Love it!❤❤❤

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

One word, consistency. This is what worked for me, like clockwork I have my schedule on my phone and I keep to it.

[@AsiaMare]

Schedule on phone love it

[@julietsiaw9761]

How do you plan that on your phone sis

[@lisag.4054]

13 year natural here. Big chopped 7 years ago and now my hair is at bra-strap length. I’m here because I can’t take it anymore. I’ve worked from home for years & always kept my lil plaits. Now I’m outside everyday & have no idea what to do with my hair in this heat. I don’t want braids, too humid for a twist out, silk press, or wash n go, and I’m trying to avoid buns to avoid tension. Going back to a relaxer is starting to feel like the only option.

[@tinalove8197]

Length retention is actually easier with relaxed hair. Its easier to obtain waist length hair. Thats why its so tempting.

[@ashlaraque4135]

Yeah, because hair breakage is a lot less common due to the hair being dangled all the time

[@Tionaintown876]

This is so realistic and just common sense. It makes growing my hair sound more achievable now

[@cbchang6200]

What you said at the beginning of this video is so key. Finding a haircare routine and staying to it is key. I don't use any heat on my hair ever. My hair is always protected. I am blessed to work from home, so most of the time my hair is under my silk bonnet. When I go out I put my hair in a protected bun, then cover my bun with a stocking cap/wig cap. Then cover my bun with a cute drawstring ponytail. That is my only hair style and I love it.

[@J.G.O.]

I'm not relaxed, or even thinking about being relaxed. But you're so pretty and your hair looks great straight and in the locs.

[@kayemonk9712]

This was informative and engaging without that wild, influence vibe.i truly appreciate that.

[@Tolutaiwoworship]

Thank you for this, I need it, I’m one of those girls. I just relaxed my hair after 12 years of being natural.

[@rachechances]

the sew in or quickweave looked sooo good!!!! woww!!!😩

[@ElisiasEvolution]

Your hair is amazing, My hair was just to fragile for reaxlers, no matter how much I weakened the relaxer I'd get split ends and breakage, Coconut oil dried my hair out to much protein, Its on my channel, I've got locs 3 years now. It does grow slower then average but I'm seeing retention, Great tips!

[@jojolovelyflowers1149]

I don’t have a relaxer but I really watched this video out of curiosity and to see if there were any tips that could apply to my natural hair. I must say, YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Navy blue is sooo your color, I also love your hair cut

[@traceylennon1204]

Wella has been around forEVER!! I use Shea Moisture Manuka Honey..

[@TheCarnivoreSoprano]

Hey April. You look gorgeous ❤. Your work is definitely paying off My hair is natural but I still enjoy your content. My hair doesnt care about any of rhe effort I put in. It doesnt do anything

[@stepp-uppwithnecol4381]

Also genetics, i have saw some people try it all, and little to know results. Consistency is key i agree. Rather relaxed or natural its a process. What products work for one want work for another. I excercise, eat healthy and I have tried dam near every product, hundreds of wasted dollars. I tried rice water, aloe vera plant, huni u name it. I cant get past my neck area or shoulder tip. Maybe its my gene's idk , i have given up at this point. Your hair is beautiful 😍

[@MAGAISKLAN]

Have you tried stretching your relaxer by wearing protective styles for a long period of time? I’m embarking on a 1 year journey by wearing only protective styles the entire year. I’m washing my mini twists 2 times per month for 3 months, then taking it down for a week and then a new protective style. I prefer crochet braids but I’m praying this will be successful for me! I just want half the length of April’s hair, that’s all I’m asking for Lord!

[@shaelenemusicandmore]

We miss and love you sis 🥹🫂 Praying that all is well 🙏🏾

[@micaeelbeck5325]

Not being funny hunny but I’m relax and use apple cider vinegar in my hair it broke it all off my hair stylist said never ever ever use vinegar on relax hair it will destroy it I’m just saying

[@MoonLightOnWater1]

You definitely have to do what works for you, but I’ve used apple cider vinegar on my relaxed hair for 40+ years.

[@itsjustrich7649]

Where did you get those pink big rollers. I can’t find them anywhere?

[@graciaxx3361]

Hi April how are you able to deep condition every 2 weeks with protective styles in ? ❤love ur videos

[@aalexis112]

These tips are on point April! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@joi12345678]

This is about to be me. I’ve done everything. And when you can rock short hair you can always just cut it off if things go wrong. I feel like I want to do Relaxers for a little while.

[@kalishajnz]

I always love your tips. They're very detailed and a great reference to come back to if I'm ever having issues. 💜

[@mezzogirl1763]

I loved this. Thank you.

[@jasmineshares]

Consistency is key!

[@beingkittyt7460]

I did it 🤣❤️u convinced me

[@traceylennon1204]

Rosewater & witch hazel for scalp when hair is in braids is good according to a cosmetologist!

[@jjchantel]

And do you take a break in between protective styling? And how long do you keep the styles in

[@MrsPierreIsabella]

Can you post a link of the hair that you are wearing in this video? I absolutely love this.

[@joannalyn4208]

How long do you recommend waiting to go into a sew in after relaxing? I feel like waiting too long means I have to use more heat to blend my leave out.

[@luvdahair]

Honestly i would say wait maybe a week or 2 just so that your hair can go back to normal and regain a little strenght, and i also think it would cause less breakage that way☺️

[@Tiffanydivastyle2]

Hi I relaxed my hair yesterday can you use hair growth oil in your hair thanks ❤

[@0tismadaline]

Getting a routine is very important and l agree with that 👌 great tips sweetheart ❤

[@AprilSunnyBeauty]

Thank you for watching 🫶🏾!!!

[@lovingbritt]

I was thinking about going back to relaxers again because I can't do this natural hair anymore

[@olamideadedeji3960]

Thank you for the tips shared in this video. Please what’s the name of the microphone you used?

[@michellecaroline9004]

Hi, I am a great fan of yours from uk, I love the curlers you put in you hair in this video what are they called

[@oyewolefolashade8174]

On your washdays, do you do more of protein conditioning or moisture conditioning as your deep conditioning routine

[@emmyl487]

Your hair is beautiful! Thanks for sharing these tips!!!

[@gabrielleampon7135]

Could you please give us a tutorial of how you styled your hair in the clip wear you were dancing 😭😭😭😭😭

[@rinawallace1962]

Great tips for maintaining healthy relaxed and/or natural straightened hair. Where can I find those pink rollers? Thanks much!

[@gigih4892]

What rollers did you use in the video?

[@NaomiMordi]

Wrap curl

[@erindabney2758]

What I don’t get is that my hair was the longest, shiniest, and thickest it’s ever been when I was severely depressed during the pandemic. I just kept it back in a ponytail. Maybe had the mental ability to wash it twice a month. Maybe actually combed it thrice a month - depending on whether it not I was able to hang out with friends. Relaxed about every 3 months. No scarf. No pillowcase. Barely eating (down to 97 lbs). Couldn’t sleep. Hated being middle aged, living alone, forced celibate, with a hole in me where my husband was. Was able to keep the thick, long hair for about a year. Then I did a short tour (4 shows) with a weak relaxer and my hair has been angry ever since.

[@BionAvastar3000]

You are so pretty. If you ever did decide to lock up your hair for real you would just look stunning.

[@sandrae4470]

Great info.!!!.👌🏾No if's, buts or whats..Consistency is the key.

[@757Princess]

I like the manuka honey but it makes my hair revert. Are you supposed to only use this on a bun day or with flexi rods?

[@nicoolejordan]

Hey! Great video, quick question if i’m understanding the protective style portion right, if i’m getting my relaxer every 8 weeks, at 8 weeks put my hair into a protective style for 12 weeks? I’m trying to create a regimen I had a setback I haven’t recovered from in the last 2 years I was almost mid back and a natural hairstylist (my sisters cousin-more horror stories from her other clients as well) was jealous and gave me incorrect information to talk me into being natural i didn’t want to and continuously botched my hair. I’m having the hardest time especially since the products my hair thrived off of have been discontinued

[@Brandiatl]

What are those pink rollers

[@lookatthat7889]

I dont agree when you say it doesnt make sense to get a relaxer before protective style . Personally i experience so much hair loss if i do not relax my hait before the style the takedown damages my hair because the roots gets soo tangled no matter what protective style.

[@stephanieroberts5130]

Can someone tell me what's the name of the rollers in the video?

I can’t find any oils that work for me. I feel like everything leaves my hair dry after moisturizing. Do you have any suggestions?

[@iwhippedcreamcode4642]

My Wife uses Cool water and Rosemary leaves!

[@eco_barbie007]

Joon saffron oil or pumpkin oil might just be for you .

[@PweetyTiffo]

You may have to change your shampoo and conditioner... they may be the problem.

[@Pinkflare984]

I need HELP the back is sm shorter than the front and it’s like 3/4 different lengths my hair is now braided but I couldn’t even braid the back

[@tamuz9633]

This is great. Keeping long natural hair is TOO much work. It also didnt make sense to keep long hair in cornrows and twists ALL the time.

[@Tahiha]

Water alone with dry out relaxed hair. You need an emollient and oils along with water, so just get a good liquid spray leave in to use while your hair is on a protective tube style.

[@tjbrooks9337]

So you’re saying that if you are coming close to needing a relaxer that you shouldn’t get a protective style because you could possibly weaken the line of demarcation?

[@joshie19922]

It depends, I relax every 3-4 months, the important thing is do is keep ur hair moisturized. A spray bottle with you leave in mixed with a water and oil. Spray every day or every two days. You should have any issues

[@KevvaPMcK]

HOW is the absolute center back of your hair so long? That's where my breakage usually begins!

[@sandycheeks1580]

😂I’m in agreement with GROSS 🤮 & those coming to her defense for washing whenever. Lol 😂 🎶“Different strokes it takes….”🎶

[@FunnyBuni]

While there’s truth in your first statement, 80% of those ladies return to their natural hair after a year/a year and half. If you want to successfully relax your hair, you have to first know how to care for it in it’s natural state.

[@eco_barbie007]

That's a lie! That may be the case for you but not for everyone.

[@FunnyBuni]

@@eco_barbie007 what is a lie? And why do you sound so angry 😀

[@eco_barbie007]

@@FunnyBuni 1. Read your response line by line and think about it😂 2.If that's what angry sounds like...okay then. 3. Enjoy your weekend !

[@sophiam9886]

​@eco_barbie007 You're right. It is a lie. Most BW definitely don't go running back to natural hair after being relaxed. You were only stating a fact. She's reaching.😅

[@SpiceItUp_5150]

No that’s not true because what you do for your natural hair would not be the same.

[@Soitbesme]

Y’all scream Routine and consistency but y’all have 15 million different routines ?? Make it make sense
