Me too!

This is so smart!!! So efficient. I tried a lye relaxer for the first time and had a lovely experience. No burns at all. Matter of fact, the no-lye relaxers used to burn my scalp so much. The ORS lye relaxer is my go-to moving forward because it does my hair great. Thanks for the tips. God bless you.

I’m actually happy there are more videos like this on KZread. When I first started self relaxing many years ago, I didn’t know half the shit about relaxers and how to properly apply AND maintain them like I do now. 3 years ago I had to do a big chop because I wanted to go natural for a year...(I felt pressured by my sister and gave in.) and surprise surprise my hair fell out because I didn’t have a modicum of knowledge when it came to my natural hair. By the end of the year I felt like a bald headed Ho and I walked into my stylist’s shop on the verge of tears and told him to cut it all off and relax it again 🥲 Long story short, he gave me some excellent advice and told me my best bet will be to watch KZread videos/tutorials because I’ll be destined to find someone with similar hair length, texture and porosity. And wouldn’t you know, he was right. I was able to regrow my relaxed hair past my shoulders and last year I only needed two relaxers instead of the four I normally go for. In closing, I want to show you some love in your feed. This video was informative and I’m definitely gonna pre part and use oil to protect my scalp and strands instead of Vaseline. You and your hair are beautiful sis. Keep up the excellent work! 💜💜💜

I saw another lady twisting her hair too in order to make applying the relaxer easier. I will definitely be doing this too. Thanks for sharing, you hair looks amazing 💕

Funny cause I did that last time I relaxed my hair a month ago; yet I had not seen this video or the one from Hairlicious (which I saw a few days ago). It made quite the difference for me as I self relaxe, my hair is mid-back, dyed, and after 4 months, my 4C roots were 3 inches long as some spot. So applying a relaxer within like 18 minutes used to be a nightmare. Honestly though, I usually leave it for way longer. But this last time, I didn’t have to go too much overboard. Well it wasn’t necessary, but I like to leave it on for a while.

New growth looks healthy. We can see some streched curls.

When I was younger. I had relaxed hair. And my hair was always shedding and falling out. And never grew past shoulder length. And years later after going natural its because my mom would relax my hair as if it was a virgin relaxer. Putting the product on the root and shafts of my hair. Not just the new growth. Resulting in over processing my hair and causing it to break off.
