Babe! New subscriber - I just watched your video on silk pressing. I literally have a son & daughter. I had them at 21 & 23. YES, two is enough! Second, you will neverrrrrr need to relax your hair. Your nails and hair will grow like CRAZYYYY. Post partum, my hair was like a lions mane! I just did protective styles my whole pregnancy because 1. I was not trying to straighten my hair (buns weren’t doing it) 2. I know I relax my hair and like you, I did not want to transfer that product to my kids. I would say don’t worry about the relaxing now. You’re not pregnant yet but just do protective styles while you are pregnant and enjoy the ride ❤

This is very sensible. I've seen a lot of people have great success with the straight natural life and also be moms. Also if you want to teach the men to love natural hair, we need to show them from the time they are little boys that natural hair (curly or straight) is beautiful.

I relaxed my hair n didn’t know I was pregnant it a be ok but i definitely was like u girl. I did so much research I had a 3d binder full of research. I didn’t relax again until til after I had him. You can over plan n something still happens with the baby but the fact ur educating urself and trying to change the situation before it happens to prevent it is already showing me ur gonna be a grate mommy when the time comes. And I also if I have a girl will not relax her hair until prom day. Especially with everything going on in today’s society and chemistry industry. I’ve even dyed my son’s hair twice his whole life he’s 10 n both times I chopped it off 😂😂😂. I did it bc he wanted it n I didn’t get to as a kid but the older I get I’m like no I don’t want any future complications to happen to ur body without knowing willingly bc it’s my fault. I learned my hair @ 14 but even then it was too late my mom let my aunties who had salons damage my hair 🤦🏾♀️. Crazy bc no matter what I do to my hair my curl pattern comes back bc it’s so coursed n coil’y. I just wouldn’t put box braids dye wigs tracks none of that in her hair until she’s like 14 nails makeup etc bc these lil girls in lace makeup n nails and be 7 yrs old I can’t😂😂😂. I hated my mom would let me play in makeup n dress up like a princess but I couldn’t go out the house with it and she wonder why I became a tomboy n likes sports not dolls 😂😂😂😂. So I get everything u saying girl the ins n outs of it all anywho do u ur way n ur babies gone be ok boy or girl. ❤

As someone who was natural for 10 years and relaxed their hair 5 months ago… I’m going back natural. I have 3 different textures, my hair is coarse and thick both natural and relaxed. There are pros and cons to both. If I were you I would transition and go natural sooner than later. I’ve only been relaxed for 5 months and I realized that I could have stayed and kept doing my weekly twist outs. Whether relaxed or natural our hair takes time and work. Life seemed easier with my natural hair and now my relaxed hair has become somewhat of a burden to me. I’ve even postponed getting back in the gym because I sweat a lot and my hair is getting in the way of that 😩 I’m going back natural it’s more suitable for my lifestyle.

I think it’s a good idea for you to start leaving relaxers alone now. Because you don’t know how hormonal you will be with your pregnancies. I was completely different emotionally with all 3 of my pregnancies. You don’t wanna wake up and not know what to do with your hair and start crying. Which may not happen at all. You may be super happy all the time. But it least this way you’ll be prepared. But whatever you choose will be right for you.😊

I love you so much for being team “movement, bounce, and shake.” Because if I take the time to apply 300-something degrees of heat in little half inch sections all for it to be ruined by oils and butters, why would I press it in the first place? I need the bounce. The problem is, my hair hasn’t been bouncing lately. I use less product and my hair is more dry. When I use more product my hair is stiff. 😒

I believe texture release is just a different name for a Keratin treatment, which I’ve had, and those are definitely worse than relaxers, they do in fact have formaldehyde. I used a keratin treatment that wasn’t supposed to have formaldehyde but it just the two or so compounds that crated the treatment when combined and heat was added formed formaldehyde. And it made my hair shed like crazy. So be leary of even a release it MAY be the same.

I actually went natural while I was pregnant. It wasn't specifically for that reason, I just wanted to try being natural, and that was the perfect time. I stayed natural for 5 years and went back to relaxers specifically because I wanted a bob, and I live in FL, so being a straight hair natural didn't work for me. Although I'm relaxed, my daughter has been natural her whole life and has never wanted a relaxer. I've taught her how to take care of her hair, and she loves her curls.

I’ve been looking into them but I dont have an opinion just yet
@@eudoh21 so far, I have checked affirm treatment has no formaldehyde … and is not a keratin
@@NiaraAlexis if I’m doing it this year would be around nov 25, like 16w pst relaxer- in salon. Although I saw @naturally Nadine do it herself at home
My hair sheds so much after relaxing my hair. I’m going on three years post big chop. I’m going to hopefully stay that way from now on. I just love the look of relaxed hair though. Especially on myself .
Same! I love the look
I think that more people should consider heat training their hair for relaxer free straightening. I have been heat training my hair and my hair is thriving and it doesn't revert anymore. The book "Heat Training Natural Hair on Amazon has great tips on doing it. ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!!
Yeah but you get frizz !
You should try an amino acid smoothing treatment! I love it and helps with manageability so much!
I actually went natural while I was pregnant. It wasn't specifically for that reason, I just wanted to try being natural, and that was the perfect time. I stayed natural for 5 years and went back to relaxers specifically because I wanted a bob, and I live in FL, so being a straight hair natural didn't work for me. Although I'm relaxed, my daughter has been natural her whole life and has never wanted a relaxer. I've taught her how to take care of her hair, and she loves her curls. No matter your choice, I'll be here to root for you. I'm not going anywhere.💜
🥹 thank you! And I love that. I wish I knew how to care for my hair when I was younger. I might have still relaxed but love that you are teaching her to love her curls 🤎
Niara do what is best for you. My mom relaxed my hair 1 week before my graduation from high school. I don't plan to stop relaxed my hair since now we know much better about how to have relaxer and healthy hair. Always a pleasure to watch your vidéos
Good morning, that’s a great ideal to give up the relaxing your hair. Especially when you’re thinking 🤔 about becoming a Mom. I did the same thing & when I was pregnant with my daughter my hair grew so long it was crazy. It’s been a year & three months without a relaxer & at times it’s been challenging, but on the other hand it’s been beautiful as well 😊 Happy Sunday. From the eastside of Detroit 😊
Cleaning the metallic holes would be impossible. Think of the product residue we clean on flat iron edges! I
I love that idea. I’m thinking about doing that as well and would love watch and learn with you❤
