This is great information! I have had relaxed hair since before i can remember, I'm at the old age when relaxed hair was the norm for little black girls, so I can't remember when my mom wasn't relaxing my hair. I would add to the conversation that some textured hair just can't take a relaxer, so if you are struggling and seeing breakage, you might consider a different hair care method. I am 1 of 4 daughters and my hair takes a relaxer with no problem and no breakage problem, my three sisters have all had problems and haven' t been able to use a relaxer without breakage. So, 2 of them have gone natural and one consistently uses a weave.AA curl patterns are so different, you have to work with what you have!
Oh my goodness thank you so much. I’ve learned so much. I loved everything about your video. I can’t thank you enough. After all these years I finally understand how to take care of my relaxed hair. So glad I found this video.
I've just discovered your TH-cam channel today and watched this video. I wear a short pixie relaxed hairstyle and have noticed some breakage in a small section of my crown, so I was looking for some up-to-date information on caring for my hair. Any way, I was thoroughly impressed with this video; you clearly know your stuff... and it was beautifully explained and delivered. I'm now a new subsriber! Thanks again!
Olaplex works better on clean hair. You have to use a clarifying shampoo first to remove the build up on your hair, then apply the olaplex step 3 trmt. This allows it to penetrate better.
This was a great vlog very informative and I can relate to many things you mentioned. I however with trimming was going to someone who was cutting my ends and length off every 8 weeks and I wasn't seeing growth and my hair grows pretty well. I love how you explained everything and why these things are bad.
This video was so helpful! I get my relaxers professionally done by my hairdresser and I'm looking forward to when they open back up because my new growth lord have mercy It's definitely a struggle!
Thank you for updating this video. It was very informative. My favorite part was that length does not equal health. My problem is consistency. So helpful. Thank you!!!
Natasha Ruffin Hi Natasha! You’re welcome! I feel you. I was really inconsistent. One day, sick of how terrible my hair looked, I made a promise to myself to just reserve 10 minutes a day to start caring for my hair. The rest is history! That being said, we’ve just been given word that the quarantine has been extended to end of June. Guess who’ll have to relax her own hair? 😖😖😖😖😖
@@StyleDomination Oh my goodness!!! I am fanning out!!! Thank you for the encouragement. I am not brave enough to relax my own hair. I actually have my relaxer of choice at home, the shampoo and everything. But, I am too afraid to ever do that. 😱
Thank goodness, my hair is not breaking! I decided to start using Olaplex because of you. Keeping the new growth at bay right now is no easy feat, I was just going to make an appointment for a retouch when the shutdown happened. Thanks for representing us classy ladies in our prime.
Ahh! My Princess Thank You 🙏🏾! I am a queen Blessed with beautiful hair! I can’t thank you enough! My hair is breaking as I speak, but you gave me help! Blessings ✝️ and Be Safe my Princess! Ms . G!
I stopped perming my hair 8 years ago because I was LITERALLY going bald at the top front of my head. I started back perming it in October 2019 and I haven't had any issues yet. Perming it every 2 months and measuring the activator. Each bottle of perm activator is exactly 3 tablespoons. I only put 2 tablespoons and, my scalp doesn't burn and, it doesn't smell like chemicals when I'm done washing it. Maybe this will be helpful to someone else
So glad I found your channel. I have been trying to figure out why my hair is so dry. I deep condition and do all of the things you listed but b/t washes is the problem or was. I now understand what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much. Of course I subscribed !😊
im soo greatful for your videos i was so clueless and regretting getting a relaxer bc my hair kept shedding alot your vids help me and now im loving my relaxer and learning how to properly take care of my hair
Satin scarf 🧣, bonnet neither stay on my head. I bought a silk pillow case... but I admit because I take it off my bed because it’s one pillow and doesn’t match my bed sheets ... I forget to put back sometimes.
This is fantastic video!! Such helpful information. I recently relaxed my hair after being natural for 8 years so I wanna make sure I set my hair up for success!!
Thank you for this video, I recently texlaxed my hair after 6yrs natural. Everything is new to me because when I was relaxed previously, I never really focused on hair health and I now realise just how severely damaged my hair was. I tried Olaplex a week after texlax and I shampooed first ( hair felt stripped after😱) then put HALF the bottle in my hair and left it in for 4hours😱😱🙈🙈. It got really dry and crunchy and omg it was horrible!! I'm trying to get it back to soft and moisturized. Next time I will try your way. Thanks for the tips❤❤
After the Olaplex No. 3 you’re supposed to shampoo then deep condition the hair. The directions for Olaplex No. 3 say leave on for 10 mins or longer. I leave on for 30 mins with a plastic cap, then I shampoo & deep condition. 4 hours is too long. Did you use genuine Olaplex or a knock-off?
@@bumblebee4024 it was genuine Olaplex, it got it from Lookfantastic.com (im in the UK). I have since used it as directed and my hair feels so much better. I have since realised my hair had some serious protein overload hence the serious dryness🤦♀️. I have used up the bottle, but i don't think i will be buying again.
I use Olaplex No. 3 on shampooed hair (with a good quality clarifying shampoo) so that all product build-up & residue is gone & the Olaplex can do it’s best job on my hair.
I love that hair style and the makeup. You are just too pretty. I am natural but I like to wear my hair flat ironed, but your tips still help me. Do you think using essential and carrier oils, on the scalp, is bad or good? Thank you for your videos.
I'm having issues with shedding and need help. My hair actually isn't breaking but coming straight from the root. I deep condition, drink lots of water, take my vitamins and my hair has great moisture but it's still coming out from the roots. It's confusing. Help!
These are some great tips. I think I’m washing way too much but I go swimming in the salt water two or these times a week as my workout routine so not sure what else to do. Any tips welcome. P.S. I used a swim cap and broke off my edges
Finding Happily... Oh no! Collette - sorry to read this. Swim caps are too tight, and because they are made of latex, they are extra grippy - hanging on to hair and ripping it! Have you tried rinsing your hair well with a conditioner after swimming in the ocean?
Have you tried FENUGREEK powder. It's cheap. Try and find it at Chinese grocery stores. I know Amazon sells it but its, double the price. I am from Canada and its $2. It's the best thing. Thicker hair, promotes hair growth. No dandruff. I have used it for 4 months, and I love it. TH-cam has videos on it. Look it up. Goodluck.
@@trawlins396 Chelating shampoo is able to remove deposits in the cortex layer. It leaves the hair clean from inside out. Clarifying shampoo cleans the cuticle layer, that is the top layer of the hair. Both are good, chelating once a month is better
@@creshenoleopata1822 Redken's all soft or extreme line. MIZANI'S hydraphuse. The one that Dom mentions Joico moisture recovery balm. Soultanics has awesome deep conditioners too.
I'm a straight hair natural. I was previously relaxed for years since I was 12 years old. I stopped relaxing my hair in 2016 and transitioned to natural. The reason being is because no matter how well I cared for my relaxed hair I always dealt with dryness, split ends and pretty severe breakage at times. My hair is fine in texture and high porosity. I just don't think my hair type can withstand a relaxer. However I prefer wearing my hair straight so I find watching your channel extremely helpful for my haircare needs since I do straight styles most of the time. I straighten my hair every 2 to 3 weeks. Sometines I'll stretch to 4 weeks just to kind of give my hair a rest in between blow outs and flat ironing. Love watching your channel. Your haircare tips (primarily on moisturizing and sealing) have helped me retain so much length. I've finally reached bra strap length lol. That's for creating great knowledgeable content! Btw I also love your effortless style and great personality!
elusivebabe I’m not sure. But all creams, lotions, soaps and cosmetics have a little symbol on their packaging that looks like an open can with a number on it. That number signifies how many months the product will be good after it’s been opened. Hope that helps!
Good night. I just stumbled across your video and had to subscribe. I’m having a hair crises. Immense breakage the entire back section has fallen off. I was trying to go natural so I was under processing now I’m perming again. I need help. I purchased the No3 and the aphogee 2 step. I’m currently using Pantene repair shampoo and conditioner. Any input. Thank you
This journey is not only hard but frustrating. I'm honestly losing hope. Especially since my hair is very fragile rn and get tangled no matter what I do.
@@StyleDomination well I've recently rediscovered your channel so I'm going to follow along for a few months and look for improvements before I decide to switch.
HI i have dull relaxed hair and dry relaxed hair. i moisturize and seal with African pride olive miracle anti- breaking maximum strengthening moisturizer lotion. i seal with KeraCare essential oils. My hair is dry in the mornings despite also wearing a silk wrap. i have low porosity hair protein sensitive. I deep condition once a month with ORS. I am woundering if i should go back to the blue magic conditioner with Keracare essential oil. I do enjoy watching your videos; you are very passionate and devoted in what you do. Thank you for sharing your hair journey for relaxed hair.
I live in a really dry climate now and glycerin is abusing my hair 🤦🏾♀️ There isn’t enough TH-cam help for relaxed hair in dry climates like Nevada and Arizona. Add Las Vegas hard water to the mix and you literally wanna cut it all off 😔
I have been relaxing about 40plus years. Now that I need to color. I get my relaxer and color the next week. My hair is just past my shoulder blades. I'm having problems finding the right hairdryer that will dry my hair. I don't blow dry. I stay away from that type of heat. I roller set and use a hood hairdryer. But my hair is to long for it to dry after 2 hours. Any suggestions on a really good hairdryer. Blow drying is off the table.
Why would a first time relaxer break my hair? I did it myself and have used lye and no lye. Both times my hair fell off (many months apart and no prior relaxer) within 2 weeks. Ive had to start braiding again. I even used less activator than what the bottle indicated. Still breakage. Moisurizer was being used as well. I am afraid to try again. I dont know if the issue is not enough washing after the relaxer is complete.
Hi great tips in the video love this channel! Recently I experienced heartbreaking damage to my hair due to hygral fatigue. I usually moisturize & seal every other day but lately I’ve been doing it daily. I used a natural hair mask that claimed to be protein mask and applied a dc after with cap. BUT I later found out the mask was actually a moisturizing treatment with no protein benefits. My hair was so greasy and thin with breakage after I washed it out! Next time I won’t trust hair masque recipes and also be more cautious about protein/moisture balance
Hello. I’m a new subscriber. Do you take care of your own hair and only go to your hairstylist to get your relaxer? I apologize if you’ve answered this question.
Stephanie Gelera Hi Stephanie! No no - ask as many questions as you like. I go to a trusted hairstylist for my relaxers but GASP!!! Thanks to COVID-19, I relaxed my own hair today.
Thank you. My hair is relaxed but I don’t do my own hair. I would normally go to the salon once a week before the lockdown. I have only washed my hair 4 times since March 14th. I wear a long pixie so of course there’s new growth. What products would you recommend until I’m able to get to the salon. I’m California so it could be a few more weeks. Sorry for the lengthy message.
McNiki For years, I would wait two months. Then because I got busy with work due to the quarantine, I had to stretch 3.5 months. Best thing I ever did. Going to stretch that time period again. ☺️
Vanessa Kariuki It is, but it’s a whole lot safer than the others! I think roller-setting is a great way to achieve beautiful do’s without hurting your hair. Go for it!
Robin Nightfall Exactly, girl. I just don’t have the time for them...until now! I admit, I’m horrible at putting them in. I’m practising though! My stylist suggests roller sets all the time. I used to do them weekly back in the day. Miss those gorgeous curls!
Thank you for all the tips🥰💗 By the way, I way do everything to keep my hair healthy, but I don't understand why it still act like damaged: my hair gets tangles soooo easily. My washday is a nightmare, I prepoo, deep condition once a week, detangle wet or detangle damp or detangle dry, nothing works for me. I moisture and seal, do protein treatment once a month, put a satin bonnet at night. Nothing works, it still acts like it's damaged, dry and stiff.🤷🏽♀️😂 It grows. It's midback now. But taking care of it is so stressful ans exhausting. My hair is like my ennemy😂 sometimes I just want to cut it all off. Do you have an idea about what's doing wrong please? Ps: I have fine strands hair 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 blesses!
So if I’m going to the salon to get another relaxer, is it not normal for the hairdresser to comb out the relaxer to the ends of the hair after applying it to the roots first?
Karen Moise That is definitely NOT NORMAL. She or he should only be applying relaxer to new growth. The only time you apply relaxer throughout hair is if you are having a corrective relaxer
Always relaxed no more than 80%it's not supposed to be stick straight. At all this is coming from a licensed cosmetologist. Please modernize your hair with water. Water is the most pure firm if hydration

How often do you wash your hair? I have long hair (waist length) and since it s dry I wash it every 2 weeks
Ines Ramoudi Hi Ines! I wash mine about twice a week. When I was flat ironing it, only once a week...
Do you do any protein treatments the week before your relaxer?
gemruby41 No - usually the week right after a relaxer. 😊
What do you do when new growth comes in I can't wrap it then
Hi Dom! Thanks for all the good tips. Do you shampoo your hair before using the olaplex 3?
ethanmam Hi luv! I’m so sorry. I gave you wrong info. Olaplex should be applied to clean, damp hair.
@@StyleDomination Thank you darling😘
If u dont have a satin bonnet or a satin pillow case can u use a sticking cap ??
Shania Smith I stopped using stocking caps years ago. They caused creases in my hair - but they are better than nothing!
@@StyleDomination so it not wrong to use ?
@@shaniasmith6007 i use my satin scarf and put the stocking cap over it because my satin scarf always comes off lol
You're a goddess thank you so much
Hello. I’m a new subscriber. Do you take care of your own hair and only go to your hairstylist to get your relaxer? I apologize if you’ve answered this question.
Stephanie Gelera Hi Stephanie! No no - ask as many questions as you like. I go to a trusted hairstylist for my relaxers but GASP!!! Thanks to COVID-19, I relaxed my own hair today.
Thank you. My hair is relaxed but I don’t do my own hair. I would normally go to the salon once a week before the lockdown. I have only washed my hair 4 times since March 14th. I wear a long pixie so of course there’s new growth. What products would you recommend until I’m able to get to the salon. I’m California so it could be a few more weeks. Sorry for the lengthy message.
Are you a teacher? you give me teacher vibes when you talk about hair, hope this doesn't offend you
Vanessa Starter No - I just sound like one. Lol!
@@StyleDomination oh, cool!
So true and Gorgeous to boot
Why would that be offensive???
Charlotte Rawlins you never know what might offend someone!!!
Nice video, especially for me on relaxer day! I was wondering how often do you wait between relaxers?
McNiki For years, I would wait two months. Then because I got busy with work due to the quarantine, I had to stretch 3.5 months. Best thing I ever did. Going to stretch that time period again. ☺️
We might have to stretch long i went into Walmart THERE WAS NO RELAXER!😩💀🤣
PLEASE HELP: Is roller setting a form of heat styling??
To me it is not as harsh as a hot blow dryer . It is healthier for my hair.
Vanessa Kariuki It is, but it’s a whole lot safer than the others! I think roller-setting is a great way to achieve beautiful do’s without hurting your hair. Go for it!
@@StyleDomination Thank you so much. I was really curious
Still on the hunt for a good moisturizing spray! Unfortunately S Curl made my hair feel like mush. D':
Omg isn't it too hydrating at times?
Mizani miracle milk is a good leave in condition
pats cookie yes 😟 I had to return it. It didn’t react well with my hair at all
Shanelle Webb Thanks I need to find some!
Wave Nouveau works good as well
Why not use rollers
Robin Nightfall Exactly, girl. I just don’t have the time for them...until now! I admit, I’m horrible at putting them in. I’m practising though! My stylist suggests roller sets all the time. I used to do them weekly back in the day. Miss those gorgeous curls!
They give the best curls
I shouldn't say EVERY perm activator, the brand that I use
Is it good to do rice water treatment pls
Nana Efya I’m not sure if it actually works...I’m not going to bother trying it.
it's not cheap
Thank you for all the tips🥰💗
By the way, I way do everything to keep my hair healthy, but I don't understand why it still act like damaged: my hair gets tangles soooo easily. My washday is a nightmare, I prepoo, deep condition once a week, detangle wet or detangle damp or detangle dry, nothing works for me. I moisture and seal, do protein treatment once a month, put a satin bonnet at night. Nothing works, it still acts like it's damaged, dry and stiff.🤷🏽♀️😂
It grows. It's midback now. But taking care of it is so stressful ans exhausting.
My hair is like my ennemy😂 sometimes I just want to cut it all off.
Do you have an idea about what's doing wrong please?
Ps: I have fine strands hair
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 blesses!
i love you
So if I’m going to the salon to get another relaxer, is it not normal for the hairdresser to comb out the relaxer to the ends of the hair after applying it to the roots first?
Karen Moise That is definitely NOT NORMAL. She or he should only be applying relaxer to new growth. The only time you apply relaxer throughout hair is if you are having a corrective relaxer
Style Dominion, can I ask you if you've ever been fetishized because of your hair? And how do you deal with it, if yes?
Oh wow. I can say that I have not. I get fetishized for my skin colour though by men of other races ALL. OF. THE. TIME.
@@StyleDomination That's really disgusting, I can only imagine how you feel :( I'm sorry you have to go through that experience
Always relaxed no more than 80%it's not supposed to be stick straight. At all this is coming from a licensed cosmetologist. Please modernize your hair with water. Water is the most pure firm if hydration
