UPDATED! How To Take Care Of Relaxed Hair | Style Domination

[@iloveshoes20111]

Thanks for the info. I'm relaxed again after 4.5 years natural, so I appreciate your video. You remind me of Natalie Cole.

[@sochimaonye1274]

Now this is the relaxed hair guru!

[@danyellg3079]

Sochima Onye I agree 100%!

[@danyellg3079]

May I ask what kind of steam cap you mentioned?

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

An ABSOLUTE DIVA! Keeps me going on my relaxed hair journey!😊

[@Beloved_Boahemaah]

As a college student, I love all the tips you've given. Unfortunately, I will be more broke if i buy all the products you suggested. I'll just wait till my internship money comes around or better still, after i get my first job! But beautiful hair! Also, you look like Amma Asante and Naomi Campbell! So gorgeous!

[@StyleDomination]

Maame Efia Wow!!! Thank you! I’m sorry about the expense. 😞😞😞

[@jane_m]

I just found you and I don’t know why I didn’t find you sooner. I just had to sub. your videos are detailed and very explanatory. Keep it up!!! Love from Brazil

[@lusciousphilippa]

Dominique, afternoon. Been watching all your videos over here in London. Very informative and helpful. Thank you. I have a question: you mention that you have super curly hair naturally. Is it more like your sister's texture or 4C? I think I'm super strength 4C to the point that a relaxer textlaxes rather than relaxes bone straight and despite leaving it in for 20 minutes. The ends frizz up with any contact with water despite regular trims. I prefer to keep my hair straight but air drying leaves the ends frizzy. Any tips or tricks? Thank you

[@320celestin]

Heyy Dominique, thank you for the honest and informative videos. I've been relaxed and I'm currently natural. After 6 years of being natural, my hectic life has left me in need of an easier way to manage my hair. Girl, Im at a crossroads trying to figure out if I want to go back to relaxed hair. So I hit youtube looking for a healthy relaxed hair woman I could relate to until I make a decision. After 2 videos yourrrre it! Thank you again. You don't understand how much you've helped me. New Subbie! #thestruggleisREAL

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

Sarah C she is the very best! BUSYDOINGME is also another RELAXED HAIR blogger I would recommend.👍

[@nandimitchell857]

Great info, thanks for sharing. Us relaxed girls are pretty scarce these days. I've been taking better care of my hair but the no heat struggle is real...frizz, frizz, frizz! Your hair is lovely by the way.

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Nandi! Thank you for watching! While I don't suffer from too much frizz, I feel the hairstyles are really limited! I just throw mine into a bun and call it a day. LOL! xoxoxo

[@238dwen]

Thank you for the informative video and your awesome personality. I too hate roller sets because they are hard to do on longer hair and take forever to dry (for me anyway) so i find other no heat styles. I hate sitting under the dryer for hours, every now and then i will flexi rod set and half way under dryer and dry the rest over nite.

[@StyleDomination]

@ms.chelle Thank you for this! These are great tips! Honestly, the thought of sitting under a dryer for a day makes me want to die. LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@karenscales5517]

First let me say that your hair is just gorgeous....OMG.....you should not hide it. Getting a roller set would be a great move. I grow long hair with roller sets. No blow dryers, or flat irons. I do not own a flat iron. I have a blow dryer that I once used. My hair hates direct heat. First lesson learned. Yes...u can use direct heat on a regular basis and have healthy hair. I have achieved that in the past. But....it was extremely high maintenance and expensive.. A male beautician had this city sown up with clients, and he used blow dryers and smoky hot curlers that were placed directly in a heating stove. My hair was sooooo healthy...and lots of body. He found that balance in his clients hair and worked it. He was a master at caring for the hair and finding that balance. After he retired from the hair care business. I was lost, because.....I did not need all of these products, like oils...and moisturizers. He taught me how to care for my hair without all of those things. So.....I say that to say this...and it was over 30 years ago. If you want healthy hair.....finding that balance is very important and that is what I like about your video. Very vital information. and a reminder that my body has changed and i have changed. My hair has thrived without a lot of the things that I have seen on KZbin. But I am on a lot of medications now due to some health issues. My hair flip flops and I am ready for some consistency. I just need more balance. Thank you so much. I am on this hair journey and it is fun and interesting. I am bra strap length and shooting for 20 inches by spring. My hair has always been thick and I have never had a problem with it growing. Lost some length during a long illness period. I am back now and ready to proceed. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

Karen Scales wow, please,how do you dry your hair? I truly am at crossroads, with blow dryers. My hair takes time to air dry

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

Wow!! This was just beautiful to watch, and your bangs are absolutely GORRRRGEOOOOOUS!!!👍👍👍

[@carolyn1grogan]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching. I love roller sets also but will start rolling more. I don't like hot tools in the summer either! Look forward to your next video soon!

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Karolyn! Guess what? My mom the amateur hairstylist (lol) is coming over to rollerset my hair. I'll try to film that asap! Thanks for watching! Bless xoxoxox

[@luckyrabbit2]

I love that I have someone that I can watch that looks like me!

[@StyleDomination]

Awww Thank you! That's how I felt when I found other relaxed hair videos! xoxoxo

[@Susan_Brandy]

Please can you tell me what relaxer you use? Thank in advance.

[@kissberrywish]

could you do a video on maintaining your bangs? really considering getting some.

[@StyleDomination]

That's is a fantastic idea. I'll film that this weekend. Thank you!

[@dominiquegutierrez8999]

Thank you sooo much! It's hard finding videos about relaxed hair that don't berate me for not going natural lol. Also how do you find a good hairstylist that won't break the bank?

[@StyleDomination]

You're welcome! Right? I really needed some relaxed hair guidance so I started doing research and just started my own channel! Check out my instagram too for more hair tips! I got lucky with a hairstylist. She is friend of my mom's and suggested I start seeing her. The stylist is so great, patient and knowledgeable. I've been to others who were good but much more expensive. It's trial and error, I guess! Good luck!

[@carmenbailey2088]

Thank you for the great hair tips👍

[@sarahdo2651]

I was watching your newest videos and now that i am watching this one from 5 years ago. Your hair looks fuller and more lush compared to now. Could it be the relaxer thinning your hair. I am just wondering because i am about to relax my hair too.

[@violetw8583]

He Domi! Can't wait until you make your bantu knot out video!

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Violet! Sorry for slacking on this. I will get on it. Promise!! xoox

[@angelap.8499]

Another great video. I'm natural but your tips are good for multiple hair types. Something unrelated--what lip color are you wearing? It's a great everyday look...

[@StyleDomination]

Thank you, Angela! It's MAC Cosmetics Touch with Nyx Angelfood Cake lipgloss over it. Thank you for watching!!

[@classsculture3010]

Such a great topic for a video! I loved watching this xx

[@StyleDomination]

Thanks, Girlie! Hope you are well!

[@sharitarichardson3137]

Thank you for sharing, great video.

[@StyleDomination]

Thank you, Sharita!

[@nicksrelaxedtressesb4655]

Thanks for the updated information, I really find it helpful. Do you have problem with shedding and if so how do you address it?

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Nickiesa! I used to have a problem with shedding BEFORE I started deep conditioning weekly. What I did was got mad at the constant shedding (lol), got a good trim, started deep conditioning weekly, and started putting a little coconut oil or almond oil on the ends each night. I would say that a few months of doing that, my shedding disappeared. I hated wearing white clothing because the broken hairs would show up so much on them, but now the problem is gone! Good luck!

[@paulinefonglyewquee1349]

Hi just seen this video. I wear my hair down most of the time, I don't have any problems at all.

[@tnesh5436]

new subscriber, absolutely loving your channel xx

[@chineokeke3262]

Your hair is so gorgeous 😍😍

[@StyleDomination]

Thank you so much!

[@beckya640]

If you like Leonor Greyl, you may really like Rene Furterer. That's my French natural based hair care brand of choice. the moisture and smoothness of the Karite line is out of this world. Tracee Ellis Ross is a fan of the line too.

[@StyleDomination]

Becky Armady So funny you mentioned this line! I just received a bunch of Rene Furterer products that I'm testing right now. I'm loving them! The Karité line is incredible!

[@beckya640]

Yay! I am so glad you like them. You've got me really interested in Leonor Greyl, but I will hold off on trying those products to save room in my cabinets and be kind to my wallet. It's difficult and almost unnecessary to be a PJ when using luxury natural products, since they tend to actually work. My holy grail search is basically over, which is great because I need to focus on other things like makeup, since I just started wearing it again. I'm looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work. :-)

[@gemruby41]

I also like Rene Furterer. I've used the Karite and Carthame line, and I like them both. The shampoos don't dry my hair out, and the masks are moisturizing.

[@beckya640]

gemruby41 Yes, the shampoos are a dream. Many people try to avoid sulfates, which those lines have. But if you ask me, I think sodium chloride is the culprit people should be avoiding like the plague. It's so stripping, and RF doesn't put sodium chloride in Karite or Carthame. I am so glad you like them. They are so worth the money.

[@london6261]

What brand of relaxer do you use? Do you do it yourself or go to a salon? Great videos! :)

[@StyleDomination]

Hey Courtney! I go to my hairstylist to get it relaxed. And she uses Silk Elements relaxer. Thanks for watching! xoxoxo

[@carolyn1grogan]

.......I'm waiting on your video!

[@StyleDomination]

Eeee! I'll get on it! Promise! The weekend got away from me!

[@antoniahernandez5161]

Thumbs up on this tutorial

[@maryware2674]

I have relaxed hair and I have thinning. What can I do about that ?

[@angelowusu5399]

Your really pretty and you have nice hairrrrr🤤😍

[@gemruby41]

Do you do a protein treatment the week before relaxing your hair?

[@StyleDomination]

No - always the week after. I should look into whether or not using it before would be helpful too. Thanks for that idea! xo

[@gemruby41]

+Style Domination Your hair looks amazing, so don't bother changing the routine. I like that you don't put so many products in your hair.

[@finallygotitbeats9618]

Nice..

[@17bign]

Thanks so much for the update! I have a question, when you do the oil dc do you do it as the actual DC do you follow the oils conditioner type of DC. The second part to that is in what order do you do the oil conditioner b4 or after you shampoo.

[@StyleDomination]

Hi there! When I do the oil DC, it is for the actual DC. When I shampoo the oils out, I will use a little Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner just to detangle. I will use the oil DC once a month. And yes, I always do the oil DC BEFORE the shampoo. I use so much oil in my hair that it would just be such an oily mess to keep it in for days. LOL! I also breakout really easily so I try to keep the oils off my face too. Hope the clarification helps. Thank you so, so much for watching! xoxoxo

[@17bign]

+Style Domination thanks so much for the clarification! Beautiful hair!

[@thebet816]

When you had shorter hair (like a bob) what type of styles did you do to grow out your hair? I have a pixie cut now that I am thinking of growing out but overwhelmed by the grow out process. Also do you relax bone straight? Thanks!

[@StyleDomination]

Hi there! When my hair was shorter, I'd constantly have it in a bun, being careful to place the bun in different spots (high buns, low buns, side buns, double buns). I was also careful to alternate how I'd twist my hair up into a bun too to give my hair a break from being styled the exact same way each day. You could also try other protective styles too like wigs and extensions (just be careful not to have your extensions put in too tightly). Check out kzbin.info. She has amazing tips for protective styling!! xoxoxo

[@gemruby41]

After your hot oil treatment, do you shampoo and deep condition your hair?

[@StyleDomination]

Hi Gem! After the hot oil treatment, I shampoo it out and use the Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner, just to detangle it. Thanks for watching and hope that clarification helps!

[@luckygreene1147]

what oils do you use through out the week between washings?

[@StyleDomination]

Hi there! I use mainly almond oil or coconut oil on the ends. Sometimes, I'll switch it up and use Schwarzkopf Sealed Ends. Hope that helps!

[@gemruby41]

Do you mix the Joico conditioner with the masque because the masque is too thick?

[@StyleDomination]

I mix it with the masque because the Joico detangles better, whereas the masque conditions better. Hope that helps! xoxoxo

[@mjxavier4800]

Wow I would love to befriend you, I subscribed to every product on amazon.

[@deadpoolsbae4487]

My wish is to have my hair like yours 😢❤️😁

[@StyleDomination]

Awww! Thanks, Olivia!

[@ElisiasEvolution]

do you ever dye your hair i have just yesterday

[@StyleDomination]

Hi babe! No - I'm so afraid to! I have so many greys though, I need to start doing something. I will most likely start off with a semi-permanent rinse. Happy New Year!

[@kimbarrett]

Why are you not enjoying your hair it is Gorgeous.

[@StyleDomination]

Kim Barrett Well Kim, you won’t have any hair to enjoy if you leave it exposed to Canada’s winters! Freezing rain, flash freezes, temperatures colder than Mars...you get the picture.

[@shaniaharry5939]

My hair tends to be very oily when I moisturize it. And when I leave it , it gets dry. What should I do ?

[@StyleDomination]

Well, what are the ingredients like of these products you are using? The daily moisturizer I use (that I forgot to include in the video, but is listed in this description box) is water-based. It's TGIN Buttercream Daily Moisturizer. It is one of the very few I use that does not make my hair gross and full of product build up. Also, are you using a deep conditioner weekly? If not, I've listed a few good ones in the description box and video. xoxoxo Good luck!

[@shaniaharry5939]

+Style Domination Okay I'll check that out ☺ Thank you.

[@denyshadials5702]

Shania Harry Try using a weekly hot oil treatment too. It can improve how your hair accepts and holds onto moisture. It sounds like you might have low porosity hair and your products might not be penetrating well.
