How To Grow Long Healthy Relaxed Hair | Routine For BEGINNERS

[@ulovemegz]

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by my channel to check out today's video about "How To Grow Long Relaxed Hair For Beginners." In this video, I discuss what you need to know to START and create a healthy relaxed hair care routine. I forgot to mention in this video that you would need a nice heat protectant of your choice for monthly heat passes. Please keep in mind that everyones hair and lifestyle is different so tailoring your routine to fit your hair and needs is key!

Hi Megz, I would love to go back to a relaxer. It was so much easier! Do you apply your own relaxer? And how often?

[@ulovemegz]

Yesssssss keep note of what works and what isn’t is so help!!! 🤗

[@Sophie-fi7gm]

Many thanks to you Meg. You saved my hair. There were dry, I didn't know what to do with them. I made a clarifying shampoo because I didn't do it often despite using gel every day. I left my hair mask on for 30 minutes as indicated on the package (I left only 5 minutes before your video). And finally, what changed everything was the use of a conditioner and a LEAVE IN 😍. I dried my hair with my blower brush, I straightened my hair then I slept with a scarf. My hair is super soft and airy. Thank you a thousand times. I hope I will find a routine that works for me so that my hair stays nourished and hydrated. Kisses from France ♥️

Spot on sis! People ask me all the time what do I do to my hair or what do I put in it… I tell them it’s a good ole perm n I keep up with it n don’t over-process it I keep it moisturized! In between when it’s not really time to perm but isn’t so controllable like sis said if you wear wigs this will be the time but for me I get 2 cornrows or some straight backs until it’s time to be permed! I don’t really wash my hair every week but I may try that! Some people think you’ll wash all the nutrients out but I guess that’s why you put it back with all the products! But all her tips are spot on!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@izahra1997]

These tips also are important for natural hair growth. Healthy hair is healthy hair, whether it's relaxed or natural. The only thing I would say is that with natural hair you have to be very mindful of mechanical damage. Curly, coily hair is more prone to tangles and knots, so a lot of damage can happen if you don't detangle carefully. In contrast, relaxed hair is fragile due to chemical damage. So like you said, limiting heat use is important, and protein treatments can strengthen your hair.

[@Mai-sx3yf]

You just contradicted yourself. You said relaxers cause chemical damage so that means it is not health hair.

[@izahra1997]

@@Mai-sx3yf By "healthy hair" I was referring to hair that retains length and doesn't have split ends. You can have relaxed hair that is healthy by this definition. It's still chemically damaged, but doesn't necessarily have mechanical damage (split ends, breakage, etc.)
