What To Do To Your Relaxed Hair Before Bed. Updated Routine

[@marierey1196]

I agree with you. I do a deep condition every week and maintain with serums. The olive oil in the same ic brand is good too.

[@samminu]

Great minds think alike. I am going to look for that olive oil serum, I had no clue about it.

[@ambrosia1917]

you're such an inspiration!!! not only has your hair grown so much in the past year, you use heat weekly! Thanks for showing us it is possible

[@samminu]

Thank you Love 😭💕😍😍. I was advised that the key is to use heat once a week. And never use your flat iron on dirty hair.

[@ambrosia1917]

@@samminu will keep that in mind! I did want to ask: how often do you use olaplex and does your stylist have an opinion on no lye vs lye? I noticed you use dark and lovely no-lye which is interesting because most salons use a different brand and lye relaxer

[@samminu]

@@ambrosia1917 I use the Olaplex no. 3, the leave in, and the bonding oil every week during my wash day routine. My hair stylish friend use a lye relaxer, it's more professional, she told me it gives a S curl then straighten the hair after. I don't know where to begin with those. 😭.So she recommend the no lye dark n lovely relaxer because it is the best she said.

OMG! Your hair looks healthy and is thriving. I wish mine would retain length.

[@samminu]

Thank you love. Make some changes to your routine and it will. ❤❤❤

[@emphasistrinidad9980]

I do that also deep condition and seal with oil ARGAN oil. I love love it. Moisturizers dry out your hair also. And I have always been a rollerset gal.

[@samminu]

Can't roller set to safe my life! major failure on my end. Haha

[@WinxtotheWorld]

I love the carrot oil serum as well.

[@samminu]

It is truly amazing. ❤️❤️

[@trives99]

Beautiful. What protective style do you usually go with regularly? How do you retain so much length? How often do you relax?

[@samminu]

Hey love. I just do a low or high bun. Watch my video on "10 reasons why your relaxed hair is breaking" video to get more insight on how to retain length. I relaxed my hair every 2 months.

[@trives99]

@@samminu thanks so much for this! I get box braids a lot and I used to think it grows your hair but I think that’s why it’s breaking so much.

[@samminu]

@@trives99 So sorry love 💔. I use to think so too, but it was doing the opposite. It used to help grow my natural hair in the past.

[@devine6443]

Hair is beautiful and on point 😍 have so many questions so you wash your hair every week and how many times you clip your ends ? And what heat protection you use for constant flat iron I’m asking cause we have the same type of hair some of my hair is longer than others and it be breaking off in different spots like little pieces sometimes

[@samminu]

Thank you love ❤ 😍❤. Yeah I wash my hair every week, and I trim my ends every 2 months. But I will make any adjustments if I need to once a month. I use patene heat protectant. Once your use heat once a week you should be fine.

[@samminu]

Make sure you take your time and detangle, that is a major factor in breakage. And never neglect your weekly deep conditioning and monthly protein treatment. Keep me posted on your process. ❤❤❤

[@lakeishas242]

Thanks for this excellent guidance. I’ve just discovered your videos from a search on dealing with frizzy hair. I must confess that I wasn’t sure on the first video I watched where I thought you were advising against moisturizers on relaxed hair! 🤔🤨 But as I watch further videos and view your technique, it’s now clear for me. Without a doubt - those liquid moisturizers are NOT intended for relaxed hair as it will clog the hair cuticles and make us look like ‘wet rats’! However, our hair does require nourishment 💡The composition of the glosses and some oils are perfect for nourishing the hair (beyond solely as a heat protectant). This will help me to fight the frizz. Thanks again and cheers on your beautiful & healthy hair! 👏🏽

[@samminu]

Thank you Lakeisha!!! Glad I could clarify with my other videos. ☺ All the best with your relaxed hair journey love. ❤❤❤💕💕💕

Hi Sammi I just bought that blueberry mint oil and loving it so far Thanks for your recommendations

[@livysoldana3319]

I love the mizani overnight treatment at nights. I sure pretty much a dot only? Totally agree w you about using a serum. Loved and tried your advice about protein on relaxer day. My hair totally 360.

I’m so happy I could help! I would use a small amount. ❤️❤️❤️

I appreciate this video a lot and I love your hair. I tried a particular hair serum (olive oil) and I noticed a lot of white sticky residue on my hair I don't know if you can help me out on that. Then I want to know when you normally apply your leave in conditioner?

[@samminu]

Hey love, sorry you experienced that. Try another serum and see. Try anyone of those listed in my video. I used the leave conditioner on my wash day after I detangled my hair to begin the blow drying process.

I wear wigs sometimes. Throughout the day I just place my hair in a low or high bun.

@@samminu but do buns grow hair?

[@samminu]

@@joan2087 Helps to stop the hair rubbing against my clothes. So in essence, prevents breakage. Try loose buns.

Hi! Do you use all of the oils at night?

[@samminu]

Hey love. On the third night after my wash day I use the drops and the carrot oil on my scalp every night and the polisher on my hair until my next wash day.

How long after relaxing my hair can I oil it? I just relax my hair yesterday and want to kno when to start using the oil n moisturizer etc

Hey love. I don't moisturize n seal my hair. I have a video on it, so I use a serum everyday until my next wash day. For my scalp I use my products on the third day to allow my scalp to breath a little.

Hi @Sammi Nu my hair is breaking off by large strands when I comb it. It is even breaking off by when I pass my hand through it. I last relax my hair in September however I want to treat my hair before I relax my hair. Please help..

[@samminu]

Oooh no. It might be because you are stretching your relaxer. The natural hair is too thick and the relaxed strands can't hold on anymore. Sounds like you need to make sure you are deep conditioning every week and have your monthly protein treatments. Stress can also causes breakages of long strands. But I would advice to relaxer your now and do my protein treatment method. 💔💔💔💔

Start off by doing a good deep conditioning and protein treatment. I am worried that you are experiencing over and under processed hair. Try the deep conditioner and protein first. Keep me posted.

[@groman7000]

So I've had stylist tell me not to put oil in my hair while its dry because it locks in dryness so only put it when its moisturized, are these oils you use causing any dryness or itchy scalp ? Because I need an oil for my dry hair specifically for when its dry without running the risk of drying it out even more, please help :(

[@samminu]

The glossing polishes I use is pretty light and perfect for my hair and I use it to maintain my hair for a week until my next wash day. The carrot seed oil is the best oil i tried so far on my scalp. It actually helps to elevate itchy scalp. It is perfect. I have experience dryness with coconut oil before. I don't really care for it.

[@sheamoniquedaniel1824]

it's still oil based. if you hair is dry you need to make sure you shampoo and deep condition in a regiment. make sure your water intake is up. it's going to take a while to see a change. your stylist is absolutely correct. ANY OILY TYPE PRODUCT is sealing in the drymess still causing long term affects of brittle hair.

[@ruthkeke5484]

Why your hair still dark even with the relaxer routine

[@samminu]

I use semi permanent hair dye.
