Wow!!! Your hair turned out so great! It looks like a bom unit!! I also do the Hairlicious method when I relax my hair. I just did it this Sunday. I love seeing how different people relax their hair. Hopefully by the end of this year I’ll have the length you have now. Goals!! Can’t wait to see your next video with the trim! ❤️😍🙏🏾

With a good routine, you’ll def get there! Thank you and it’s coming!

You did a great job. Hairlicious uses the same method.

I like the idea of you not letting the relaxer chemicals touch your skin while rinsing.

I'm overdue for my relaxer because I haven't made the time. I stretch for 16wks but hit 20 today but I plan on relaxing Monday. Your hair looks great and love the roller wrap, lol. I've never heard that term before but it definitely fits.

Same hair type! Been relaxing wrong at the salon for decades! Your hair is beautiful!!!!!!! I could never be natural 😅, my hair is too course and scalp is too painful, even with tangled relaxed hair with growth.

Your hair came out BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰

I wish I could get a video on first relaxers, I'm natural and have never relaxed before

Absolutely gorgeous. Great job

Love this! Thanks so much for sharing. I feel confident to try this by myself with your tips. I do roller sets on my hair and ORS heat protect styling mousse makes them more defined and the curls last longer.

I've been natural for over 5 years and have been really struggling recently. It's very long, thick and tangles all the time. I don't intend to relax my hair right now, but I enjoy watching the process. If only I knew these things when I was relaxed I wouldn't have had such a tough time with breakage!

I just did mine last week, after 3 months (12 weeks), my growth (4C hair) was 3-4 inches...I got to do it more often. I was ready at 9 weeks but life happened. And I had dyed my hair at 6.5 or so weeks, so I had to wait a bit. Thank goodness I had parted and twisted my hair prior to. It’s much faster, even though I kept the relaxer for almost 1 hour.

I commend anybody that can wrap the hair so effortlessly

The techniques I do when I wash out my relaxer I do wash my hair at least twice the third time I leave the shampoo on for at least 10 minutes and then I wash rinse very well and then I do a very mild protein treatment after using this protein as well for about 7 years and it is my staple I don't use any other protein in my hair I also let the relaxer set for 17 minutes while I am smoothing the relaxer :-) your hair came out very beautiful I use the Mizani butter blend relaxer I also use their leave in conditioner as well as the white peony leave-in from Meille.. those conditioners are my go to :-) thank you ever so kindly God bless you🙏💞

Good eye. It is a similar method. Hairlicious is very helpful and I highly endorse watching and subscribing to her channel. I’ve learned a couple methods from her like applying protein to dry hair as a pre-poo. However i did not learn my relaxer method from her. I’ve done this for years. She’s def made it popular on KZread though. I learned it from a hair blog not KZread. People tend to think youtube is the only source of info 😊

Hi, I was absolutely looking forward to this video, please what's the benefit of adding oil in the relaxer??????

It can slightly slow down the relaxing time. I do it to help texlax and just in case something randomly happens between relaxing and rinsing. Like having to use the bathroom, etc.

Feel free to relax it whenever you’re ready. A haircut won’t affect your relaxer. Take the normal precautions like not irritating your scalp.

That porosity control stuff is expensive as hell like $76 dollars ! I’ll just just the rereclon versian and geese

Did you use the entire relaxer and if not how do you store it for next use?

Good question. I didn’t use the entire relaxer. I store it in my closet in the bathroom.

Do you actually use ORS or is it just a promo? I ask because my stylist uses affirm fiberguard and I notice most KZreadrs only use ors but have great results with it.

Fair question lol I’ve used ORS lye relaxer for 9 years. I would personally be too afraid to switch for promo. There are some Affirm products I enjoy like the 5 n 1 reconstructor but not the relaxer.

Moisturizing and sealing several times per week helps keep my new growth soft and my ends hydrated. Protective styling is another tactic that also helps to stretch a little further.

In my experience, the longer your stretch, the less you should manipulate your hair in order to avoid breakage

Wait this is different lol so you only relax the new growth only? Do you ever go back and relax your entire head/hair ever?

@kristenstikes

Yes. If you relax your entire head you are processing hair that is already relaxed and that causes breakage. I’d only relax my entire head if I were natural and getting a virgin relaxer.

Usually every 8-10 weeks. The point of new growth and relaxer are two different textures and you’d almost have to treat them like they are two different heads of hair. You treat relaxed hair different than natural. Moisture, moisture, moisture is key

1. Every time you comment you contribute to my engagement. Meaning you increase the chance that my videos pop up on someone’s explore page to help SPREAD this info. So first things first, I thank you for your 113 comments on my channel. 😊 2. You also provide the opportunity to display my professionalism during a public adverse situation... which again... contributes to my engagement. Companies want ambassadors with that level of competence and the community appreciates maturity and civility. 3. I am very intentional to never down natural hair. It’s beautiful but it isn’t a one-way ticket to healthy hair. I will not bend on that fact. When someone speaks confidently about a topic and it triggers you to feel some typa way because you can’t produce the same results...that just revealed an insecurity. We all have them. It’s human. What you choose to do with your insecurities (ie. Being an internet troll) largely defines your character. Don’t get mad. Get better. Keep watching as I know you will and your natural hair will thrive. That’s it and that’s all. Thanks for being a Super Spreader and coming to my TED Talk.
