I relax every 10 weeks. I trim every other relaxer, so at 20 weeks. Both done at the salon. On another note: I'd watch how you're combing your hair to eliminate the problem area in the middle back. Also, I get a blunt cut, too, but I've made a point of asking my stylist to be sure to trim the short pieces in the front. Otherwise, split ends start to develop because that part of your hair isn't being trimmed.

[@kalishajnz]

She did an amazing job, your hair looks great. I think being in a beautiful salon with nice scenery does something for the senses and is more relaxing. I trim every 10-12 wks if needed and I do it myself. You're so right about the side part, lol.

[@kristenstikes]

Right?! I had no idea I needed this until I had a better atmosphere. I wish I was brave enough to do it myself. Imma learn!

[@chestarr21batson46]

LOL. I wore a side part for decades. I reach 60 and now do a middle part only. But yes..... great job! Beautiful hair!

[@RegalCandy]

I wish I could fine a good stylist like this.

[@kristenstikes]

It even took me a while in ATL.

[@stephaniemensah1858]

Beautiful hair sis. I usually relax my hair 3 times a year and trim my ends every time I get a relaxer. That has worked very well for me personally.

[@kristenstikes]

Your hair looks so full and healthy. That’s a good schedule.

[@stephaniemensah1858]

@@kristenstikes Thank you so much! You are definitely hair goals!!

[@oasisinteriorstaging968]

I love your hair. I too prefer the blunt cuts only. It tends to get me the thickest look as well.

[@FromTanzaniatoNorway]

I love how you take a very good care of your hair. I trim once a year🤣🤣🤣🙆‍♀️ and i do this with a very sad face because i hate to lose some length..

[@simplyzita]

Girl your hair before and after trim is amazing. Am 21 weeks post. wish me luck

[@kristenstikes]

Thank you. Enjoy your next trim!

[@CurlsandThings]

She did a fabulous job!

[@traceylennon1204]

Love your haircolor!!

[@AutumnBRreeze]

That round brush blow dry technique (actually) frays& breaks the hair, because it requires tension and pulling the hair. My white clients(most) don't care about the blow dry damage cause they want the look, however I wouldn't recommend to my blk clients b/c I know im damaging the hair; Paddle brush drying is better for our hair(Licensed Cosmetologist, FL)

[@kristenstikes]

I’ve never experienced breakage from that technique from any stylist. And she’s a Master stylist licensed in NY. When administered correctly it shouldn’t cause damage. Paddle brushes are said to be better detanglers but round brushes are best used for styling. (Mid back to Waist length healthy hair)

[@fosterny]

I totally agree. I have fine hair and I cringe when I see a round brush. My fine hairs can’t handle all that tension.

[@mschelle2762]

Thanks for taking us along with you. Beautiful salon view. I trim my hair about every 4 months because I have not found a stylist I trust. Your hair is always so full and bouncy.

[@kristenstikes]

It’s hard to find a good stylist! Thank you.

[@denik9614]

Beautiful! Almost made me want to relax mines again 😍

[@mercedessmith2646]

Your hair is goals

[@BonnieCreoleSpirit]

Your hair looks amazing✨✨💫. I trim hair myself when it needs it and it’s usually a dusting. I have layers so I’m concerned about the heath of my hair by not it being totally even. For me, it’s less pressure. 🌺🌺 Your video was so well done! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@louiselove8212]

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah awesome 👏🏽

[@ashleylucas651]

Hey I love your hair and videos and yes I get my hair trim like every six months so my last trim was July now it’s February now 🥲 so yes my hair is also relax I got to get my hair done to do both an my hair is mid back length but I love your length

[@carolbrown3560]

Thank you!

[@S_T_fania]

i saw the side part.... but since you are so gentle to show the process i will let it slide this time

[@ninavictor5727]

I trim at every relaxer. I just prefer it that way

[@kristenstikes]

About the same. I typically trim the week after to ensure it gets done.

[@ARLITA4545]

I trim once a month always! Loved the video and your hair is beautiful! The trim is done by a professional not me.

[@kristenstikes]

Thank you. 🥰 You don’t play! I like taking the professional route too.

[@shanellem7091]

Amazing stylist!

[@kristenstikes]

So glad I finally found one I love!

[@shanellem7091]

@@kristenstikes I hope I can find someone like that here in Toronto lol

[@SDot2385]

I get a dusting at the salon with every relaxer - usually every 11-12 weeks. I typically ask her to take off a little more every 6-8 months or so for shape.

[@kristenstikes]

That sounds like a good cadence! Shape is an important factor too!

[@candicejackson4624]

Health over length! It looks good 😊

[@kristenstikes]

That’s the motto! ❤️

[@cairegrigsby7682]

Wish this place was in northern Virginia

[@Aveyable]

I trim every 3mths at the salon

[@NandiMak]

Hi there New Sub Alert! 🥳.... Your step by step process its what attracted me to yew, while the way yew get straight to the point is what actually made me subscribe 🌻❤️🎈. Quick Q.... How often to yew flat iron your hair?

[@kristenstikes]

Thanks for subscribing. Very rarely. At the most a couple times per year. I typically skip flat ironing when i get it trimmed once per quarter and just have it blow dried.

[@pinkbutterflies994]

Beautiful!!!!

[@kristenstikes]

Thank you!

[@kimberlypeterson664]

Nice!!!!!!!! I always cringe though when I see them untangling. Lol.

[@na_ladyliz5055]

1.That's true what you said about the average black salon. 2. Olapex is hela expensive 😭 3. Why can't my hair ever be bouncy after straightening? I've tried just putting just heat protectant but it's still stiff after a few passes with a hair straightener.

[@kristenstikes]

Ha! Yes it’s pricey. I just started using it last summer and I’ve had long hair without it. A hot oil treatment or aloe Vera pre-poo before washing are also good options.

[@sandrafils2861]

Dryer sheet helps w/ the fly away saw it done somewhere.😁😉

[@kristenstikes]

I’ll have to try that!

[@judywalker2849]

Your ends really are not bad, but taking care of it never goes wrong.

[@tenia2743]

Hi! I have this middle fraying issue as well. Did she provide any insight to why this happens?

[@kristenstikes]

For me it’s been moisture. I have to purposely moisturize and seal my hair starting in the back so I don’t forget it. Then I also wear braids under my wigs and there’s been times when i braid the braids together right in the back and don’t moisturize the big jumbo braid well.

[@tenia2743]

@@kristenstikes thank you!

[@abigailgage2145]

Thank u for the advice. Im new to the relaxed community, and unsure of alot of things. Ur hair looks amazing. Where is this stylist located?

[@kristenstikes]

You’re welcome and thank you. We’re all learning together. 3535 Peachtree Rd NE, Suite 310, Atlanta, GA 30326 across from Phipps Plaza

[@traceylennon1204]

It doesn't seem like she put enough conditiomer in your hair!!

[@traceylennon1204]

Did she use heat protectant??

[@kristenstikes]

Yes. She used Mizani 25 Miracle Milk.

[@olyviajazzmyne7633]

I have Never trimmed my hair and i honestly can't see myself ever doing it 🙃

[@kristenstikes]

Me either. I can’t correct any mistakes. 🤣

[@victorialazar8753]

I am a licensed cosmetologist nobody's hair is all the same length she is not cutting the proper way she is supposed to part your hair and trim as well, if you requested your hair to be cut this way ok..but most stylist do not and will not cut this way. However your hair looks beautiful and turned out nice.

[@amoraisonguyo9618]

u literally didn't have to bring up the side part issue with gen z's ....I'm 16 and literally wasn't even thinking about that. u just sounded really sassy in that part. it was quite unnecessary

[@soulaanlioness]

Your hair’s not type 4, it’s not even type 1. It’s just processed
