How can people not understand that you need to wash scalp and hair properly it's no different to that rest of your skin or hair in other parts of body

[@clarissaubawuike7429]

Thanks

[@sharonj.9597]

I think the package says NOT to wash your hair before relaxing.

[@abimbolaesther5956]

Wow this is great really love the tips u listed.... The problem I have with my hair is my middle hair is shorter than the remaining part of my hair... Pls if u have any product to use or any advice pls share thanks

[@trawlins396]

You are seriously the 2020 version of Gennifer Miller. She had a website called Healthy Textures and she addressed EVERYTHING about black hair care. And I do mean everything. She explained porosity levels, PH levels, relaxers, color, roller sets, blow drys, styles, end maintenance, root maintenance, prepoos, you name it, she had a video on it. She's a big fan of moisture/protein balance. Alternating every week between moisturizing deep conditioners and protein deep conditioners. Her hair is relaxed and probably to her waist by now. She's actually still on Facebook under Healthy Textures and there a lot of her old vids here on KZbin also. She's not active anymore because she got married and had a baby. But if you're not familiar w her please look her up. Her hair is gorgeous and I used to follow her videos religiously. I'm glad I found you because you're just as informative even though you're relatively new. But I definitely wish you would do a video on porosity. When you know if you're low or high porosity it makes a big diff. I agree w you about heat styling every now and then. It's good to be able to see the product of all the diligent hard work. Also, you want to be able to see your ends when straightened and see how much growth has occurred.

[@TheChanelbelle]

These tips are very helpful! While I’m not relaxed (I big chopped over 2 years ago), I do flat iron my hair every time I wash and deep condition biweekly. So my hair is heat trained or “thermal” relaxed, which is much easier for me to maintain. I think these tips apply to heat trained hair as well!

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

That is awesome! When natural hair is manageable (e it is definitely preferable to any chemical process. How's your hair doing with the heat training? Thanks for watching, my love. xoxo

[@TheChanelbelle]

@@AlexisKimberlyy My hair is still healthy, but I realized in the past week that even though I'm heat trained, my natural hair is still protein sensitive and needs more moisture than relaxed hair, otherwise my hair becomes brittle. So I only use protein in my deep conditioner for strength, but then use only protein-free products daily. Working well so far!

[@traceylennon1204]

You are so freaking beautiful and relatable and very informative!

[@narrington7453]

I’ve been relaxed for almost my entire life lol. My hair has been pretty healthy and long ( just about bra strap length) for years so I know that healthy relaxed hair is definitely possible. Lately I’ve been experiencing dryness and breakage in my crown area. I will definitely be using your tips to help my hair get healthy again. Moisturizing daily and doing it in sections is something I need to stay on top of. Thanks for the helpful info! Keep the relaxed hair videos coming.

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

I'm so happy you are living proof that healthy long relaxed hair is possible. People STILL don't believe it lol. You're so welcome my love! I so appreciate you being here. xoxo

[@ARLITA4545]

Yes, would be interested in video on porosity and the effects of different products on porosity. Again excellent content in this video! Never really thought about my hair rubbing against clothes.I also wear my hair when at home and summer months because it gets on my nerves, not knowing this is a good thing according to you..Thank you so much for the infomative video!

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

Arlita You’re so welcome! Yes, those clothes can snag and contribute to dryness! I wear my hair down sparingly because of it. Thanks for your support as always my love! 😘❤️

[@ARLITA4545]

Thank you so much!

[@charlotteclark2207]

When I'm at home after work I pull my hair up or down and wear a scarf or bonnet for low manipulation plus that's how I cook great tips thx

Great practice you're doing!! Thanks for watching, love! xoxo

[@kloisgooden]

Your make up is so lovely. Perfect. Love your hair tips as well

[@Charlie66276]

I get to stretch my relaxer at least 12 weeks/3 months because I already have 3b hair to begin with and I use a mild Texturizer and my hair is not 2b not bone straight

[@benettaboyd-byrd1978]

I'm still praying on if 2020 will be the year to transition back to being relaxed or stay natural. This decision has been hard. I love your channel, you encourage me to make the plunge. My hair was MBL before I went natural, haven't see that length or fullness as a natural.😫

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

Benetta Boyd-Byrd I just prayed for you, girl. I know it’s not an easy decision. Sometimes it helps to write down the pros and cons of each to visually see which option outweighs the other. Also, figuring out your why is helpful. Why did you choose to be natural? Why are you resisting relaxing when you experienced better results? You may be holding onto a thought or belief that’s not actualizing in your life the way you thought it would. Pray about it and then move. There’s really no wrong decision. Even in the worst case scenario, hair grows back. Trust me, I know from experience lol. Let us know what you decide to do and good luck! ❤️😘

[@benettaboyd-byrd1978]

@@AlexisKimberlyy Update!! I textlaxed and I love my results! Lots of texture, very manageable looking forward to my new journey back to MBL. Processed for 12 mins. Thank you for your tips and encouragement! May you be blessed in 2020❤

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

Benetta Boyd-Byrd I’m so excited for you!!! Congrats on your new hair journey, my love. I hope it continues to bring you happiness! Your kind words are so sweet and encouraging. Be blessed and reach out with any questions! ❤️❤️

[@lesliscott6170]

I just went back to a relaxer after 3 years of being natural and I am in Love. I can manage it plus I missed my straight hair and me being able to manage it myself. Although I loved my kinky hair it just wasn’t for me.

Thanks for the gems hun! Definitely subscribing. My hair is a mess

[@cocoversache]

Hi Kimberly .. I just found your channel and really love your straight to the point videos. Another great video .. I’m at the point I just want to cut all my hair off - been natural w/ 4c hair - a nightmare , tried texlaxing - hair literally feel off each time I combed it and now I’m relaxed but I don’t seem to be having good luck. Horrible experience with the only ‘black’ salon in my area. Some people are just not lucky when it comes to hair 😂

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

cocoversache Aww, noooo I don’t believe in bad luck! You will find your happy medium! I know it. Not having a good stylist in your area is tough. I know this is not the most convenient option, but have you considered traveling (within reason) to get your hair done? If you can stretch for a few months maybe the longer drive won’t be so inconvenient? Good thing is that most of the work for a healthy regimen is totally within your control. Of the three styles you’ve tried, which is the easiest for you to maintain? Which left your hair feeling the healthiest?

[@victoriaferraro7390]

My hair loves coconut oil it's the best and it keeps my hair moisturize. And especially when I wash my hair in 2 weeks period

[@Lordzero-p9f]

Beautiful lady, wonderful tips

[@ritamay_june]

Great tips... Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁

[@shanteo7060]

Had to do a double take because you favor Kelly Rowland!! Beautiful

[@sheilamiller1064]

That's true and I can go about 10 months as well before breakage starts. My hair has grown a lot since I started getting relaxers less often. 💇

[@valenciawalker6498]

I get mine every three months however Ive gone a extra month due to Cornavirus and all the salons being closed. thankfully they open back up in Michigan on the 15th , I have a appointment on the 21st. I get a soft no lye relaxer I get my hair bone straight.

[@joeyperez7542]

Would you make a video of what you do to your hair when you sleep? Shower? Exercise? I’ve been natural since 2016 and did the big chop twice. Right now I feel like my hair is stuck and not growing. I’m also getting bored of it not to mention the high maintenance natural hair requires, ALSO with being in the military lol. I’ve tried everything with natural hair and I think I’m just done. I didn’t even know what texlaxing was until I googled relaxing natural hair. I’m stuck in what’s best for my hair 😩

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

Great video topic! I'll get to work on this. I know this is a difficulty for many women! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I appreciate you. You'll discover what works best for you. I think people bash relaxed hair and immediately call it unhealthy without realizing it's a completely different hair game from when we were kids. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for your question and I'll work on getting a video up! xoxo

[@ChipperCan]

I just relaxed this past Sunday! I was natural for 9 years! My life is way too hectic for natural hair. I don’t have the time that I used to have to do it. I am VERY pleased with my decision!!! I feel even more free than I did when I big chopped for the first time. I have 3 boys, a husband, and 2 jobs. So I’m happy with this new journey!

[@elsajames-solomon405]

Give us a full details how to treat relaxed hair generally.

[@daraadu1056]

Hey Kimberly I am relaxed but I want to transition into textlax hair how can I do this???

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

Hey Dara! You can transition to texlaxed, but just understand that the same way you would transition from relaxed to natural hair, you're going to have to maintain multiple textures in your hair as your relaxed hair grows out. In your case, it will be three different textures: your new growth/natural hair, your texlaxed hair, and your relaxed ends. I would suggest using the same relaxer you normally use but leave it on for a shorter duration of time. Make sure your hair is in a healthy state to start and you follow up with protein treatments, because the multiple lines of demarcation in your hair will be prone to breakage. You can do it, but you have to be extremely protective of your hair. You may want to do a lot of protective styling in the beginning as you're transitioning. Let us know what you decide to do and good luck!! xoxo

[@daraadu1056]

So how would you recommend I start???

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

@@daraadu1056 Do you self-relax or see a stylist? For texlaxing I always recommend a stylist do it because it requires a lot of attention to detail and consistent application. I can't really speak on application because I don't do my texlaxes myself. I would suggest consulting a professional and watching "My Salon Relaxer Routine" video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enicmIx5qsyCbrc and also my "How I Texlax My 4C Hair" kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZfdfnmni7WHa5I I go into further detail about how I get my texlaxed results. But you'll want to be mindful of my hair texture compared to yours. My hair is fine but resistant to chemical processing. Definitely follow the instructions on the box and recommendation of your stylist!

[@cassiealexander7736]

Hi Hun Last year I have got my hair cut in layers and up to this day I’m not happy with how the hairdresser cut my hair Because before getting my hair cut in layers my hair was long now my hair is short at the front and long at the back I try stretching my realxer , do braids once in a while and message my scalp Any tips???

[@toussaintan]

Hi. After 30 yrs, I've decided to try lye relaxers to see if i can get my hair to be stronger. It's naturally coarse and somewhat still thick(53 yr old), past shoulder length. My question: I'm noticing 1-2 inch long strands coming out more than I'm comfortable with. the strands are tapered towards one end and the other end has the root bulb so I know it's new growth but why is it falling out my scalp so soon?

I was thinking about relaxing my hair but just a month ago I used the just for me texture softener and I regret it (not that there is damage but to be honest I’m just tired of having curly hair despite loving my natural!). Do you know if I can relax on top of that?

[@Regularblackgirl]

A texture softener is a mild form of a relaxer. It might double process your hair if you add it on top

[@AlexisKimberlyy]

@regular black girl is correct! You run the risk of overprocessing your hair. I'd seek out a professional to talk options. It's hard to say without seeing your hair. But I would just begin relaxing where you left off with the texture softener!

[@jessiklovecine]

Thank you guys! I actually went to a professional and they were able to relax my hair. I’m so happy to be back to relaxed hair. I’ll miss my curls but I feel like beautiful hair is a hair that’s taken care of and separating 2 hrs to wash my hair every weekend was not it!!

I'm so sorry to hear this... I would buy Olaplex. I've used both Olaplex and aphogee and I noticed a bigger difference with Olaplex. Also check out Creme of Nature's bond builder. It's supposed to be good. You're going to want to use a bond builder to repair inside the hair cuticle. Good luck, sis! Protective styling should see you through this.
