    As someone with my much looser natural curls, natural hair is long. It's tiring. And if you want to wear it straight, you can really damage it. I'll never support someone who wants to relax their hair until it looks like the box but the way it's shown in this video makes a lot of sense. That's why I have a lot of hope for things like texture releases and Keratin treatments. I think permanently damaging our hair as a norm in our culture shouldn't be supported but low risk treatments that don't exhaust us is fine to me. Changing your look is fine.

    You know what I think….the natural hair beauties are tired of their design because they never accepted it in the first place. It was a trend that many jumped onto and now I believe that trend has peaked and it’s on to the next trend which ironically is revert….back to what we’ve been taught is beautiful and manageable and sassy and cute and all the other societal beliefs and to top it off it’s masked with statements like black hair is versatile and black women can do whatever they want with their hair and so on and so forth. You know “Only one donkey has bray right “

    A lot of our moms did not apply our relaxers properly. As an adult I’ve been natural and relaxed several times. Doing my own hair and also going to the salon I’ve never had scalp or skin burns. A lot of my cousins lost their edges because my aunt simply didn’t apply it correct. Also I vividly recall them sitting and scratching the dandruff out of our heads prior to a relaxer. I recently texturized my daughters 4c hair because she is super tender headed. I bought the best of the best detangling products and wide tooth combs and brushes and it still hurt. Plus most of her styles would only last a few days. After texturizing she has zero tears during hair combing plus she still has curls.

    It's not worth it. Just stay natural and heat straighten how ever many times you like. Even if you only half process a relaxer, the texture gets terrible after a while and your porosity can do a whole 180. Only do it if you are satisfied with your length and don't care for growth any longer, willing to stay stagnant

    It’s hard. It seems like her hair is more texturized than a relaxer. This will leave u with 3 textures. If u look at her roots they are straight, the rest of her hair is little curly. When her start to come back in it will be tightly coiled. Having that mixture can cause breakage where the new growth meets the relaxer. I had to deal with that with I transitioned and it caused so much breakage.

Funny the reason I became natural is because I stopped doing my relaxers and trusted a hair stylist to do it she overly processed and then put something else in and my hair was breaking instantly so I went natural, cut my hair and all. So now that I've decided I definitely want to be relaxed, I'm watching videos to brush up bec I will be doing it myself.

Everybody ALWAYS got something to say about other people's choices. The fact that they are getting mad over YOUR decision is mind boggling to me. Everything has the potential to causes cancer these days 90% of everything you put on your body, wash and condition your hair with, and EAT has some form of chemicals in it ....whether it be potentially cancer causing or some other type of aliments...( Asthma, contact dermatitis, allergic reactions, fertility, behavioral problems in children, high blood pressure, diabetes and a slew of other diseases... it's there. I see ppl use Shine and Jam ALL the time when getting their natural hair braided...and on there edges EVERYDAY......and it has the potential to cause cancer as well as hair loss and fertility issues. It contains formaldehyde which is an known carcinigen..soooo...why ain't no body talking about how bad that is for someone to use that *everyday* in their hair? The way woman used to apply relaxers now versus Long ago is Night and Day!!! Especially for those who did it at home. We are way more educated on how to use it properly and how to take care of it better while being relaxed. I feel if you not doing anything immorally wrong...Please continue to do what makes you happy it's your life not theirs!!! 💯💕

    ​@@xonikeall relaxers should ever do is relax your curl pattern... Never bone straight, that's way too much damage. My mum and my current hairstylist both say and do the same. It keeps the strand somewhat strong. And never comb out hair while the relaxer is in.

    Just beautiful! I'm all for relaxer. It's just easier, and my hair grows faster when it's straight, it just does. I think that is because when it's straight, it's easier to see the health of your hair and what it needs, when you need a trim, when you need extra conditioning, etc. I've been relaxing my hair for 40 years. My hair is near my waist, and I've never had any problems or breakage from any relaxer, ever. I love my length too, and relaxing gives you that. I wear my curls occasionally in the summer as you showed you can, relaxed, when I'm too lazy or hot to blow dry it straight, and as you saw, you can still have curls! So many people think relaxing takes away your curls, which is just stupid, as it does NOT take away your curls. Thank you for doing this video! I hope it helps the girls who are thinking about it, but hesitant to relax, to see that's it's really easy to do, it doesn't damage your hair if you apply it correctly, and that it's not scary at all. ❤ Oh, and I could have missed it, but you forgot to tell all first timers how important it is to do a strand test before you perm! Just to make sure you aren't allergic, and that your hair is in good enough condition to relax.🙂🖖

    If you want to avoid spraying Olaplex zero, you can just mix it with Olaplex 3 and apply it like a creamy conditioner. You have to let the mixture sit on your hair for an hour or more though. But that combo has brough back the most chaotically bleached hair to almost pre-bleached condition for me.

    Wow I love it! This video is so helpful. As a natural myself I always struggle with what to do with my hair because there is so much pressure to remain natural and to "look natural". I love my natural hair but felt so much guilt, even just getting a silk press. I understand the importance of representation. However, we must all do what makes us feel happy and confident. The freedom to do what we wish is so empowering. This video is so informative and I love that you showed that the bone straight look doesn't have to always be the outcome. I also love that you showed a way to repair the hair after the treatment. This is so amazing and very empowering. Love the final look beautiful. This is the most informative video on perms I've ever seen.

    They should be informed and here is the whole truth. The researchers said that relaxers increase risk of cancer by 4%. Here's the catch. In order to get that 4% risk, there has to be "excessive use". This was defined as more than 6 times per year. You won't get that 4% risk if you don't do it this often. The researchers also said that more research should be done, because at this time, they cannot say that relaxers definitively cause cancer. Our sisters should be more concerned about diet, obesity, sedentary life, smoking and drinking. That is causing most of the cancer in our communities. Relaxers are the least of our problems.

Start with 16 mins on the clock - Only 1 timer 😊 Apply to the crown - you have 3 mins to apply to this area Apply to the back - you have 2 mins to apply to this area Apply to the front - you have 2 mins to apply to this area Wait for the time to expire, wash the entire head, etc. BTW You are absolutely GORGEOUS 😍

    Your natural hair was beautiful and luscious on it's own. The relaxed look was a nice subtle stretch but at the end of the day relaxers damages the hair strands at this cost, which is why your curl pattern is inconsistent because the relaxers tampers with that and forces it to move against it's nature. The blow-out was really nice, but when the hair is in it's natural state those curls are indeed inconsistent and gives a damaged look. But it's your hair and your choice to do what you want to it! Personally I wouldn't encourage any natural girl to get a relaxer for the pure reason that it damages our hair strands by forcing it to do what it's not. It seems as though you texlaxed your hair instead of relaxing it. The texlaxed look was what you wanted. But yeah for me, chemicals on our healthy curly hair is a no go. But this video was interesting to watch! ❤and you are very beautiful.
