I absolutely love the honesty. My hair was first relaxed when I was 9 and was tailbone length. By the time I was a teenager it was mid back length, even with the best of care at the salons. Even after I started taking care of it myself as an adult. I only used indirect heat, only did low manipulation, kept up with moisture-protein treatment, always tied it up at night-my relaxed hair never grew past mid back length without breaking off as fast as it would grow in. The wasted effort was frustrating, the two textures was frustrating-that alone makes me never want to relax again. The textures were so drastically different. I would spend 6 hours maintaining my hair every week. Never able to have a life. I thought for all of this I might as well be natural. That transition was the best thing I did for myself and my hair. It’s back at tailbone length and only takes me 1.5 hours to wash and set. I love my shrinkage, my tight coils and my frizz, I don’t fight my hair. I live life and it lives with me. It’s a peaceful life. Best of luck to your journey, your hair is beautiful.

As others have suggested, I think you should see a professional. Tangles and breakage, whether natural or relaxed, are signs of split ends. Trimming split ends and evenly relaxing your new growth are critical for healthy relaxed hair. You invested years to achieve that length and deserve to preserve it.

That's the thing especially when you're 4C. Those with 3C/4A hair won't have too much issues with new growth as their hair is soft enough to closely match the texture of relaxed hair, thus less breakage. With 4c, the difference in the two textures is where issues may begin. I have 4C hair and have relaxed it twice and lost it all eventually so now I'm back to natural which I hate being sometimes but it's the only way for me that my hair has been healthier.

I went natural in my early 20s my hair grew longer than my relaxed hair. Now I’m back relaxed and I don’t get them as often maybe like every 4 months. I guess with less processing my hair grows while relaxed. I love natural hair and as beautiful as it is it’s also time consuming. I don’t want to spend an hour plus on a wash routine.

First of all, your hair still looks healthy, so great job keeping it on your head, cuz mine would break when I looked at it! I think you should style your grown-out relaxed hair similar to a transitioner, styling with various low manipulation twist outs, braid outs, curl sets, that won't require combing in between washing. With 4c hair, the daily combing required for straight styles might lead to breakage, especially at the line of demarcation. Edited to co-sign what others are saying in the comments. Protein treatments are going to be essential for your relaxed hair. I survived on Aphogee 2-step when I was relaxed.

Nope but now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ll give it a try!

Our hair needs moisture! Despite what we've been taught. It's actually really important for us that we are getting that moisture as well as nutrients found in many oils. Also heat can be your friend I regularly blow dry (once every 1-2 weeks) and it has really been such an Integarl part. It warms everything helping those oils and conditioners seep into the strands. I use ChI 4 in 1 blow out brush. I use the paddle brush attachment and blow out on low once in sections then on high all together and then cool! Definitely spend time cooling your hair and scalp at the end. This has helped me retain length, increase density, and easily switch up styles! I'll usually leave my hair braided in pig tails going back and oiling my edges and parts here and there. I realize everyone is different though. My hair immediately reverts back to its super tight coils. So as far as damage, I wouldn't be so afraid! Make sure you're starting off with healthy hair first. The only thing damaged hair should be getting is some TLC. I don't shampoo often. I rinse at least once a week. And I'll occasionally use a conditioning cleanser. And last but not least, pay special attention to your ends! When washing, conditioning, blow drying, detangling, oiling. You have the root and the shaft. Each has its own regimen. (Make your own judgments!)

You have to get a touch up. That’s how you style it. You can’t half commit with relaxers if your textured hair is much different than your relaxed hair. Also go to a professional and stop doing it yourself, trust there’s a difference!

@@Sin_cerelySarah That's awesome! I'm actually going to relax my hair today, because my hair seems in a happier state and I dont mess with it, I wrap it at night, comb out and go. Well, your hair is FABULOUS LIKE YOU!! Be Blessed and Happy 😊

I see lots of comments giving tips but I figured I’d give mine incase no one has mentioned. You will need to invest in different products now that your hair is relaxed and also a much different care routine. Get Olaplex or routine protein treatments and deep conditioning treatments. DO NOT detangle your hair wet or brush your hair while it is wet. Put a spray or light weight leave in conditioner, blow dry or air dry then detangle once it is fully dry. Regular trims. Breakage is so disheartening but let go of the crusty ends or it will only get worse. If you don’t want to let go of length, just do a dusting every other week or 3 weeks until your ends are back to health. VITAMIN D!! Girl, melanated skin was made to be in the sun so because most of us are at home and aren’t vacationing at the beach everyday, we lack vitamin D! Get you some 10,000 iu on Amazon. Professional touch ups. You don’t want to overlap the relaxer and it’s very difficult to not overlap when relaxing your own hair so you must find a professional who you can trust to do your touchups. It should be the same person so they know where they left off and how to differentiate your natural hair with your relaxed hair. Anyways I hope these tips help. Your hair is still beautiful! 🤍

@KatGlo

Same. It’s not that it grows faster it’s that any length is retained longer due to the moisture in the hair. Natural hair tends to be extremely dry which makes it difficult to retain length.

You have a relaxer not a perm. A perm is a permanent wave meant to make hair curly using a chemical. A relaxer is the chemical you used to straighten your hair.

@@Sin_cerelySarahoh really why

From watching your video where you relaxed your hair, I think your ends are snapping because your hair was over-processed, that's also why it came out flatter/thinner than you wanted. You have so much hair, you were never going to apply the relaxer all over your head on your own in decent time without assistance. Find a good hairdresser and start getting your chemical treatments done professionally. Or do half your head at a time like I saw someone else do on youtube.

I IDK seems like you aren't happy in this video comparison to your energetic personality. Maybe you are frustrated about the relaxer or maybe you missed your natural hair and wish you haven't. My little ole opinion, that's all. I had to watch this video again to be sure I don't missed the message you are trying to convey. I was thinking about the edges when a relaxer is in the hair. The hair starts to thin.

I cringed everytime she said “perm”…, but if her hair is very very coarse at the root she might need to do her RELAXER every 4 weeks and get her ends trimmed by a professional to see why she hasn’t gotten the length results she’s expecting. I’m all for home RELAXERS, but every now and then it’s good to actually have a professional to do your hair, because they can See what’s going on, how to process it evenly, and of course trimming to keep the hair health.

You should really think about finding a professional to handle your hair and share with you what products are best for your hair. You have beautiful hair so DON'T do it at home. You will find it more manageable and healthier.

She’s right, it is better to go to a professional to relax your hair and get a proper professional trim. Your hair is growing but you are not retaining the length. It could also be something wrong you are doing on your relaxer day. Also extreme relaxer stretching is not good for 4C hair, it’s actually counterproductive.
