My routine: every 6 weeks I use the aphogee two step protein treatment. The first three weeks after that I use protein free conditioners and leave ins. And then I just use protein products after those first three weeks till it’s time for the aphogee again. Every 10 weeks I dust my ends (or whenever I notice my ends are tangled). Hair has been growing like crazy!

[@dfloyd8579]

Just went back to relaxers, my hair kept falling out probably because I was a lazy natural. Thanks for the tips! New hair journey & New subbie!

[@zyonlol3685]

Hey I'm a 12 yr old Relaxed girl, and I noticed my hair was "shedding" more than usual and looked thinner. I came across this video and I'm glad I did! I also think it was bcuz I wasn't wrapping my hair and letting it loose all the time. I was also combing my hair to harshly.

[@zyonlol3685]

@Kawsar Abdullahy yeah😭

[@galaxyhouston9377]

My hair has been breaking and turning brown. I stopped applying heat, moisturized with leave in conditioner daily and it was still breaking. I had watched a billion KZbin videos and it still wasnt working. Then, I discovered you and realised I was over processing my hair, thank youuuuu.

[@ellenc9699]

Use a lye relaxer

[@ceyciemateo9411]

How do you know?

[@West_Indian_Aiyah]

@Lola Blue Lye is good for the hair, bad for the scalp. No Lye is bad for the hair, good for the scalp. Base your scalp well when using Lye relaxers. Try mild strength first.

[@West_Indian_Aiyah]

@Lola Blue No waiting period. You're welcome. 😁 Since you have been using no Lye, you most likely have calcium buildup and that is why your hair was breaking. I would chelate my hair first to get rid of minerals just to be safe. Make sure the shampoo says chelating and not just clarifying. Happy Hair Journey!

[@a.pieceofpie]

My hair is brittle, ends damaged, breakage at crown, edges and widows peak thinning YET my hair is the longest ever been. I cut and trim my hair often but am tired of the constant breakage. So now I want a stylist who will just cut the split ends and not worry about my hair being even. I will use protective styles to cover the unevenness.

[@traceylennon1204]

Thank you that's what I use..ORS Replenishing conditioner.. It takes the guesswork out of whether I need more protein or moisture!

[@shimmerine1]

Just got my hair relaxed after 3 years being natural. My stylist mixed Olaplex No 1 with the relaxer and used No 2 during the shampoo process. My hair feels so silky and strong right now.

[@AndreaDenise]

YASSS to silky and strong hair!

[@Antoinette922]

@shimmerine1 what made you go back to relaxing? I thought I was the only one! I went back after 6yrs.

[@realmamamo]

aholsey one reason could be because being natural, especially type 4, is a struggle it’s tiring and time consuming to wash dry angle and style. I’m 2 years Natural and I’m thinking about going to a salon and just call it a quits

[@Goodshihh]

aholsey i did it cos my 4c hair looks shit , wash ngos, twist outs/braids out all looked horrible on 4c hair, it looks like a bird nest

[@asho345]

Ijeoma Ubah Is it hard to deal with two different textures when the new growth comes in? That’s my only hesitation.

[@kay-ty5rx]

Try a better quality relaxer and adding honey to your conditioner. Skip a couple touch ups in addition to prefecture styling while you skip. Pay attention to your porosity as it’s always changing w/these chemicals. Best of luck

Tiki I’ve been doing weekly hot oil treatments, deep conditioners and protein treatments. I’ve also been using a lot of castor oil and keep my hair and roots moisturized.

[@vkjackson76]

You may need to try affirm relaxer when I first went back to relaxers my hair was breaking off and the hard water so I got a softener for my shower and switched to affirm and bought all the products to go with it and my hair is soft and manageable but it took almost a year and cutting for me to realize that the box store perms weren’t for me and affirm restores the ph balance

[@marierey1196]

Try doing a homemade treatment. 1 egg, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tbsp honey, a little olive oil, a little avocado oil. Add some conditioner (I use shea moisture honey & yogurt protein conditioner) to create a creamy texture. I usually mix it well and pour it in a bottle for easier application because it can tend to be runny. Saturate your dry hair with the mixture and cover with a plastic cap for 45 minutes minimum. Wash and condition as usual. This should help with your breakage. Good luck

[@lovelite6737]

Girl you better invest in the Olaplex if you can’t get them all at least purchase the number 0 and the number 3 and use it every time you shampoo your hair, improvement you will see almost immediately, try it and and write me back and tell me how right I am, and most of all before doing ur hair say a prayer😊

There are so many videos about moisturizers and kinds of oil you can use to keep your hair moisturized. Just search them up. You might get very useful tips.

[@renreddock5082]

My hair breaks Everytime I remove braids from my hair and i think is because I don't trim my hair

[@tortortortor427]

Try deep conditioning while your braids are in and when you moisturize your hair in the braids, make sure you're getting the hair in the braid, not just the scalp/the hair that is exposed at the roots. I had VERY LITTLE HAIR come out when I took it out.

Oil makes my hair shed like crazy. Not sure what to do at this point.

[@Lele3942]

And when you say moisturize your hair is that with oils or some type of cream moisturizer

[@lizzieanderson6480]

I prefer creams and then oil afterwards to seal in the moisture. If you put oil first then the cream moisturizer you put on after will not penetrate into your hair. I use castor oil for my ends and I've noticed so much length in my hair.

Lizzie wonderer what type of cream moisturizer do you use

[@AndreaDenise]

I agree with Lizzie! My fav moisturizers are Mielle avocado hair milk and shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie

Hey sis!! I'm so sorry to hear that and I know that can be frustrating! Have you gotten a good trim recently? How often do you deep condition?

[@omalyn2081]

what do you mean by "mushy" please?

[@jamielah976]

Do you have pictures of damaged ends and split ends?

[@olivealfred]

[@lilshorteegreaves8692]

Wet it and put rollers and leave to air dry

So maybe somebody can help me. I am concern relaxed but have no been consistent since high school. However, this past year I’ve been on my p’s and q’s about my hair. I get a touch up every other month. I’ve noticed that when I wash my hair, I get more “shredded” hair. I comb from the bottom and work my way up but maybe it’s just me but I’m scared. My hair has not done this while I’m washing my hair. Yes I expect SOME but the amount I’ve been having is not normal for me. Any tips or recommendations?

[@Giggles50]

KhaDeisha Harris Maybe you are relaxing too often. Have you tried protein and deep conditioners? Your hair is damaged. Go to a professional.

[@KhaDeishaHarris]

I have done deep conditioners but never protein. I will get with a professional soon, thank you

[@ninapreciosa377]

[@pantherlibby1]

@@ninapreciosa377 yes the ors u showed in video trying to keep my hair from breaking cause I'm relaxed but also colored

[@MsShellybell12]

ORS deep conditioner is good

[@breadames2422]

My hair always breaking

[@missbernice001]

Please use placenta ( it's a hair product) which prevent breakage.

[@Rennie998]

Do you know any good protein based deep conditioner apart from the ors and aphogee stuff and ors mayonnaise

[@Rennie998]

Nope I’ve tried it before don’t like it didn’t give my hair slip

[@danamitchell2899]

Kellie Hickman creme of nature honey mask is good.

[@wonzjones6618]

@@danamitchell2899 look up rice water.

[@AndreaDenise]

I love Shea Moistures Jamaican black castor oil hair mask!

[@Rennie998]

Andrea Denise I use that already I use ors mayonnaise Shea moisture jbco mask or the creme of nature deep conditioner

I relaxed my hair after 8 years being natural. I did some research beforehand, and decided that lye relaxer was the best option for me. I went to a professional and she used Affirm, which contains lye. My hair is very tangly and breaking off. I never experienced tangles like this when I used to perm my hair. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this?

[@wilbrementu8539]

you are a beauty

[@fabsken2020]

How many times can I wash my hair? Is once a week good?

[@nop4820]

yes, it is. Once a week is really good for your hair :)

[@belindadei8852]

Exactly why I’m transitioning

[@jasminesincerely2580]

Don’t think that with going natural you won’t get breakage. That happends to every single texture.. even white people hair

[@Kay-eo2ut]

How often do you recommend co washing

[@Lele3942]

I just relaxed my hair after 8 years and it's only been two days and I'm seeing long strands of hair falling out when I comb my hair , it's not a whole lot but I'm scared I don't want to start loosing hair then I deep conditioned it also after my relaxer but it still felt lil dry so I oil it with coconut oil and it made it better but I'm still getting a lil shedding with those long strands some short also . Do you think I should do a protein treatment or is this normal being I was natural for so many years

[@lashunnicholson9212]

look at You tube rice water rinse or leave in for permed hair. You need to add moisture. I was dealing with this after perming and not anymore.

[@Giggles50]

Lashun Nicholson Did you use white or brown rice? Does it work as good as a strong protein treatment?

[@Lele3942]

Lashun Nicholson Thank you I'm using moisturizer now plus I did a protein treatment so now I'm good it's just growing I only relax one it's been only two moths

[@ldnchlsn]

Htown Finesse Sorry I hadn’t checked my messages but yes add moisture and it doesn’t matter what kind of rice you use! I’m glad you were able to figure it out! Good luck beautiful and I hope your hair grows beyond measure!💋

Great vid for us relaxed girls, thanks!! But next time would you be able to make the vid shorter? As in just the points and your reasoning maybe. YT vids for tips like this feel too long if over like 7 minutes as the length of the vid takes us longer to watch than to read online! X
