The trim is always so satisfying to watch. ☺
@Anna haha 🤣🤣
I love watching her trim hair 😭
Yessss! So is the blow drying.
I love it too and when she starts pressing out the hair
Yup...that part
I definitely prefer my hair natural versus relaxed. My hair has achieved lengths it never achieved with relaxers, but I don’t knock other people relaxing. It’s literally not my business. Black women should do what makes them happy.
I like natural better l've used relaxes in the past in the summer cause my hair fuzz up quicker.
See I wish it were as simple as letting black women do makes them happy. The problem is that we feel and see the constant pressure of society to conform to whiteness. And because relaxing your hair may take away some of that pressure and may seem to make others happy having to deny ourselves. But we’re never going to be truly happy trying to fit into a society the constantly rejects us. Now no one should ever harass or disparage a black women because of her personal choices of her body. It’s just not as simple as letting people do whatever they want because we don’t exist in a vacuum.
@@oliviaspring9690 it really is that simple to let black women do what we want. I’m NEVER going to tell a black woman, “oh don’t relax your hair because you’re conforming to whiteness”, you know why because I’m not sitting there helping black women detangle their hair for HOURS and I’m not buying their natural hair care products! So who am I to lecture black women in what they should and shouldn’t do with their hair. If a black woman wants to wear their hair in it’s natural state 👏🏽, if a black woman wants to relax their hair because it’s what they prefer 👏🏽. It really is that simple.
@@Amberelyse that’s why I made the point about harrassment if you are talking to a random person online it crosses that line. But if you know someone in real life that’s different. I’m not giong to tell a stranger what to do with their body, but if I have I friend I know I will always offer my help.
@@oliviaspring9690 I don't relax my hair, been natural for over 7 years. I still would not tell someone what to do with their hair even if I knew them personally, because who the hell would I think I am to offer unsolicited advice. If they wear to ask I'd give my opinion on the matter based on my experience with relaxed hair instead of giving it assuming they relax because they want to be "white" or "fit in" with society. I relaxed mine because it was much easier to manage and I liked how it looked. Did I want to be white, hell no. Maybe you are projecting.
Do you know how annoying it is for someone to offer "their help" in something you don't even want help with. I feel sorry for your friends because how dare they want to be different.
I have relaxed hair I spent most of my life natural, relaxers are easier to maintain for me. I like how you say that everyone has to do what works for them.
i’m never going back to relaxers my hair was barely even growing, dry, (just looked a hot mess but i thought it looked good💀) and scabs still on my scalp from like 2 years ago
Yes ma'am. #TeamRelaxer over here. Whatever floats ur boat. 🙂
@@narajayde520 okay. No one cares
I am relaxing soon❤️
@@Soulflwr1 then why did you reply? Lol
@@andiedandy168 Because I can. Just like u did.
I've been natural for 6 years now and it's really hard because I'm afro-Italian, I live in a little town in Italy where there are no natural hair salons for type 4 hair🙁, the only one I know of is located in Milan.
Braids have been my salvation.
You Americans are so lucky 😍.
I would wear braids for the rest of my life if I got to live in Italy 🇮🇹♥️ I took a trip to Vicenza, Italy with my church when I was living in Germany as a child. It was beautiful, you are very lucky wherever you are in Italy 😉
Look on TH-cam for DIY tutorial videos.
My cousin Brenda is the same.
You may have to order some ingredients online, but did some research and get in the kitchen and mix your own natural hair products. There's a wealth of info on Google and TH-cam.
Can I ask a question? I'm not trying to start a war, I'm genuinely curious. All my life I've heard Italians are incredibly racists. Not all of them, but most of them. Have you ever experienced anything that confirms that or have I been lied to? I'm really hoping I've been lied to.
A culturally appropriate dermatologist! As a baby my son lost a patch of his hair because the dermatologist I took him to was not familiar with our issues. His pediatrician diagnosed and treated him appropriately. Lesson learned.
this is true 😭 I didn’t check to see if my doctor worked on skin if color and air got burned by a treatment
This is such a big issue that people barely acknowledge
Hi, I was just wondering, did your son lose his hair because the dermatologist didn't know how to treat alopecia in black hair, or does black skin sometimes need different treatment than white skin, or is this something to do with babies' hair/skin specifically, etc? I was just curious and concerned about how it happened (I'm a white girl and also unfamiliar with babies in general, sorry if my question seems stupid/intrusive)
This is why diversity is sooo important in the healthcare system!! Misdiagnosing and waiving of serious medical issues happens way too often for it to be overlooked like it often is.
@@munge5356 He didn’t have a clue about what he was treating. It was a simple case of ringworm which MUST be treated orally and topically. Anyone’s skin can be effected by ringworm but if you don’t know what you’re looking at you just don’t know. So many factors play into why. Diversity and access are definitely key @ cupid. I was able to take him to a dermatologist but it still didn’t do any good because my son was misdiagnosed due to lack of knowledge and familiarity with our skin.
It is very important that hairdresser don’t judge clients for what they did with their own hair.
Right
ikr
Unless you keep going back to them after you do something they've warned you against
then ig thats your fault and you have to deal w it
That's why I love her, because she definitely did not.
I love having a relaxer. I transitioned to natural, and stayed that way for 4 years. It was too much work for me, so I switched back. I still don't use heat, trim every 3 months, and keep it hydrated. It's thriving❤. BTW, Kee you are so dope!
I just relaxed my 18 yrs old daughters hair today for the first time in her life. It turned out nice, I did rollers and placed her under the dryer. I then ran the flat iron because it’s my first time relaxing anyones hair and I guess I didn’t do the best job at the roots but I was trying to keep the relaxer off the scalp. I didn’t want to burn her scalp etc. I am also not the best at doing rollers ( haven’t done it that often). At the end she even let me trim her hair. It looks cute, it’s definitely much easier to manage. She has 4C texture. It’s just such a challenge for her to maintain. I am trying to help her but I am not a stylist and I am just trying to help her do what is best for her. Trying to help her find what works for her without braking the bank.
Thank you for sharing your video and for being kind.
Any tips for me I'm 4 months in and i refuse to believe that it's quite long but I need to be longer since I'm planing to cut in 2023🙃
Exactly my story
@@zaynab2085 Just curious.. How come she didn't have a relaxer early in life?
@@peacehappyb237 She use to wear her hair natural, when she wanted it straight she would get a Dominican Blow out or Keratin treatment. She didn’t like the Keratin or the relaxer. She cut her hair and is wearing it natural. I like her hair curly. She is beautiful either way.
I've been natural for 7 years and my hair is finally getting to the length and health that I desire. When I was relaxed length retention was much easier for me and styling was a breeze. I was tempted a couple years ago to go back to relaxers because I was exhausted and frustrated with all the set backs. 🤦🏾♀️ So I decided to leave her alone (before I made a decision I might regret) and do protective styles more often. Me and Miss Thang (my hair) are on good terms now and we're flourishing and growing! Okay!👌🏾😉 It's been a j o u r n e y chile 😥, but a blessing! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 I love my natural hair, Miss Thang has taught me much patience & grace! 😍😂🤣
Miss thang 😂 love it. ❤
I went back and my hair is the WORST it's ever been😢 I'm transitioning now praying I can get it back healthy.
"Results will show up when you do"... That's a whole word!
Yes so true, I was thinking the same thing
I love watching you work and teach. I did my relaxer for a number of years. I made sure to always use moisturizer hair products. Because we have dry skin and hair. I also did my daughter's hair which was longer than mine. Sometimes I would let my former beautician do my hair as a treat for me . I listen and ask questions. I went natural after losing my best friend to cancer. I watched a lot of TH-cam and got tips from new comers and season pros. I always read labels for food and medication, so now for hair products too, researching the ingredient names . I am a Aquarius ♒🏺. We love hard and deep with our hearts. We are true Salesmen, can sell anything anything!
You’re spot on about our cultural and calling relaxers “perms”. I went to a salon in a rural area as a teen and asked for a perm.. thinking I was getting relaxer. Lmao I ended up with a perm and resembled Ronald Mc Donald. 🤣😂
Dam. The Mickey D'guy...lmao
Haha, oh man
🤣😂
Oh Lawd😂😂😂😂😂😂

I can't imagine how hard it would be to take care of natural hair when you've been deployed.
There isn't gonna be the time or the products to keep it healthy.
Braids water and grease
There actually are a lot of product options around some bases. However, because of the different environments, the products I had liked in the US don't even work the same abroad. My hair refused to be soft no matter what I did.
@@teedy615 I’m a natural who doesn’t get braids ever or use grease. Those don’t work for everybody :/
I'm deployed rn and all I do is shampoo and condition daily. My hair has grown 3 inches so far this year so I'm going to keep this up and see how long it can grow!
I am deployed right now, and Before I deployed i bought months worth of hair products to last me 6-7 months
I’m so glad you said even though you are team natural, some people can still have healthy relaxed hair and some people’s hair does better relaxed. That would be me lol 🙋🏽♀️. I recently relaxed this year after almost 9 years natural and my hair did horrible that whole time no matter what I did. Now that I’m relaxed my hair is doing soooo much better. Like you said, people have to do what works for them!!! I’m so happy I relaxed.
I'm so glad to hear that!
Do what you please but there’s no such thing as hair being healthier or better behaving in an unnatural damaged state such as a relaxer
My first day of cosmetology school is thisTuesday, wish me luck ladies :D,
❤️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You got this girl!!!
Blessings along your journey!
✨✨blessing💛, your going to be amazing!
Good luck I loved it so much fun and you learn
I'm natural but I miss the convenience of a relaxer. I could wear my hair straight in the summer & didn't have to worry about sweating it out.
Yessssss!
I haven't had a relaxer since August 2013. Usually in the summers, I wear my hair naturally curly, but I've been on this straightening phase the last six months, and really started to regret that move yesterday. 😩😂🤦🏽♀️
I've been natural before for years, but always kept it boy short because my hair texture is thick. In 2017, went back to a relaxer because I wanted to wear a longer length. Sure, I could've done that as a natural, but I didn't want to have to do all that work! 😩
I lied to myself getting a blow out Wednesday I’ve sweated it out same day
@@kenicethomas7569 girl me too!! mad as hell!
I mean this very respectfully. There is just something about a black woman’s voice that relaxes me and just makes me feel at home. I love to learn the techniques you use/products for heat and damage protection! I’m a bright blonde so I need all the moisture and protection I can get 😆Love your videos ❤️
Consider an spf for your hair. There are sprayable ones. I'm a dirty blonde so when I get highlighted I always use an spf especially during beach vacations & summer days. Take care!
Oh I just noticed we have the same name except I'm with a Y. My name on here is Kae (kay) thé (which is the French word for "tea" hence Katy!) Have a reposing, joyful day!
That is such a heartwarming and lovely, kind comment.
Just bear in mind there is no one "black womans" voice. You may find southern deep voices comforting but there are tons of black voices that sound very different from this one. Have a blessed day 🙏
@@Nonyah123 yeahhhhhh you’re taking that too far. I said it with good intentions that’s all there is to it!
My parents started relaxing my hair from the age of 10, but as I grew older I was tired of the expense, the burns during the process, my failing out I was also tired of the crack smell😂 so in 2011, I decided cold turkey to go natural, not the big chop, but gradually and I don’t regret it at all. When my hair was totally natural I was shocked because I saw the texture of my hair for the very first time in over 20 years and I felt great!!
I’m in the army as well and snatched out a whole chunk of my hair in the nape of my head because my bun was too tight 🤦🏾♀️. I was so devastated lol. I put castor oil on it every night and massaged the area and it eventually grew back months later.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
TY for your service
So glad our regs have changed so that our hair can be as healthy as possible even at work!
Short story on what broke me from calling relaxers "perms". When I was a teen I made an appointment with my stylist for a 'Perm' He comes out different size perm rods while holding them next to my hair saying he's was checking to see what size I need for the perm I was getting. I was confused. He then explained that a relaxer relaxes your hair while a perm curls it up. So he asked me again...what service was I there for. A relaxer, please. I have not confused the two since.
That was a very teachable moment!!!
I grew up saying perm as well and that relaxer was a weaker form of the perm. When I got older I learned what perms actually were and say relaxer, but when people from the old school ask if I have a perm I just say yes and keep it moving lol.
I've always called it perm both ways because of perm rods. I just thought because we use perms to straighten out our hair that's how we use it and white people would want a PERManent curl they would use the perm with perm rods. So I never thought to say we relaxing our curls. I just want to know is it two different chemicals?.
@@ShortiWatta82 yes they are different chemicals.
@@judywalker2849 Same here
I always Love your quotes at the beginning…. THIS ONE: “ results show up when you do”. Is SO right on!
Her hair is beautiful! I understand her struggle. I am an Army veteran. I went natural in 2010 and I started my locs in 2017. I LOVE my hair! Natural is definitely the way for me! My hair is almost waist length and it is healthy! I'm a Scorpio.
My cousin got the Rio relaxer back in the day and all her hair fell out at the roots! Chil' my grief over my mom refusing to let me relax my hair melted away fast as my cousins hair did.🤣 I'm pushing 40 and I still got virgin locks. Sis, I was shook!
Omgosh I'm old enough to remember those Rio infomercials! I remember all the horror stories.
Chile the relaxer that you could eat. I hated that commercial😖😖😖
" My grief melted away as fast as my cousin's hair did"! Yo! I'm fighting laughter so hard right now.
Lord I just yelled out loud and scared my dog. Fell out at the root?! Noooo
omg I remember Rio, Rio actually made me love my natural hair because we used that stuff and only an inch of my hair fell off no long term damage. Fast foward to me and my mom watching all the horror stories and us realizing my hair is STUBBORN to straighten but strong as all get out. Sometimes my hair is the only thing strong enough to support my dreams and ambitions. I agree we shouldn't shame people who do different things to their hair cuz it's not bothering us, however...I don't wanna push my hair with anymore chemicals so oils do just fine.
I've gone the natural route twice, while it's pretty when it's longer my free time disappeared. I'm 46, work out 5 days a week, sweat from the head so a blowout never stayed nice. My health takes priority so I'm relaxed again, hair is still thick and just past mid back length. Regardless, I love watching these videos!
Wonderful!
Yes...there are a lot of people with relaxed and healthy hair
I keep my hair natural with braids (no weave or extensions) and I only have to spend one day every two-four weeks, it’s not for everyone but for anyone who wants to try it out it works very well. My hair is getting so long, and my sisters especially is down her back, almost to her butt. But I agree, it’s a usually a LOT of work.
Same, I am liking the natural journey but I prefer and love relaxer more,I am going back this year
Relaxed hair CAN be healthy! Proud of you, sis! (I also work out nearly every day...having relaxed hair is much easier for me. I don’t blowout because I just sweat it out LOL)
I’d be SO WILLING to travel from Florida for your gentleness, expertise, and results!! Gotta get to you before the end of next year!
Right?! I wish there was someone like her here in South Florida.
Her reaction at the end was so bloody wonderful. She is so happy with the results of her hair. Hair should always move and flow.
I have been natural since 2001 before it was very popular. I would NEVER go back to relaxing my hair. The relaxer burned so bad. That's why I stopped. The smell of the relaxer was so bad as well. I remember the shampoo girl did not wash the relaxer out completely and my hair was stuck to my scalp. I did not enjoy any part of getting my hair relaxed, because my experiences were all bad. With that said I would not talk badly about someone who relax their hair. We have the right to do what we want with our hair. So NO JUDGMENT from me.
I'm glad I stopped relaxing my hair and went natural in 2015. I remember my hair never would grow past my the bottom of my neck. I used to get bad scalp burns myself and the smell when I would go and wash it weeks after it was done, it always smelled like my hair was burning. When I go and get my hair pressed, it's so beautiful and strong. It's way healthier than a relaxer. I don't regret a day of my natural decision. I'm not judging either. I just wish I had known how bad relaxers were when I was a kid. Till this day I get upset at my mom for cutting all my long hair off and getting a perm in my hair at 8.
I don't like relaxers simply because they don't look right and broke my hair off. I was really young when I got my relaxer and I hated it. It was done properly and didn't burn me or anything, but after a while my hair started breaking off and we just decided to cut it and start over. I went from butt length hair to shoulder length and more hair got cut because of something unrelated. It took a long time to grow that back and I'm still not that yet. What pissed me off was I didn't want it in the first place, but I had no choice and my mom was pressured into doing it by our family. I loved my natural hair and straight never looked right to me and it still doesn't.
I bug chopped in 2008 and am natural for life. My hair is longer and healthier natural and I don’t miss relaxers - when she said “I can smell it just talking about it,” I felt that!
Exactly. I been natural since 2008.
I Laughed so hard when you said that cause girl yes I remember that too Happened to me a few times
"Results will show up when you do" whoaaaa I needed those words today
So excited for the new military grooming standards allowing braids, it'll help our hair so much not having to go into that god awful bun.
I have never liked doing my hair and had sisterlocks for over 20 years. We due to age and medication I had to cut my locks off due to severe breakage and thinning. For whatever reason, your channel popped up and I can't stop watching. You are amazing! I wish I lived in your area/state I would definitely become a regular. Keep doing what you do.
In Spanish we say “la práctica hace al maestro” which translates to “practice makes the master(or teacher)“ ☺️ just thought I’d mention since you said no one can be perfect ❤️
I like that!
@@DeeperThanHairTv how can I make an appointment? I need this🙏
@Onna Sweet Ginger Rose I actually encourage it a lot more than my channel shows. I even have a few natural hair videos of the few women that would allow me to either big chop them or style their natural curls. I even wrote a children's book called All Hair is Good Hair to start with the children so that they would grow up loving their natural hair textures so that they would see the beauty in the OPTION of wearing their hair either way. Key word OPTION. I am also an active advocate for The CROWN Act. I can encourage all I want but at the end of the day it's up to the client what THEY want. Worry about yourself. Not sure why the passive aggressive approach but Sista, people are allowed to do whatever they want with their hair just like you.
@Onna Sweet Ginger Rose girl stfu
@Onna Sweet Ginger Rose ok just have a good day.
The way your hand glides when you blow and cut is absolutely amazing!!! You're so soft in your clients hair!!! I love it!
Thank You Soooooo much for this! Two of my friends are natural heads. They judge me for getting relaxers. Comment such as “ You must love chemical burns (which I NEVER get) or “I don’t have to conform to the white man’s acceptance of me because I love me and I’m proud to be a black woman!” I too am proud to be a black woman!!! I got my first relaxer at 10 years old (Gentle Treatment). I was so excited! My hair was and still is really thick. My mom would spend hours pressing my hair on every other Saturday evening. My sister went first because her curl pattern was much looser than mine and was much faster and easier. The relaxer changed both my life and my mother’s as well. Today I’m 46 and still relaxing my hair. I discovered your channel a few months ago, and tho I’m not natural I have adopted your technique!!!!! You keep me company on the days I have to do my own hair. Your Channel is absolutely amazing. You are gifted as well as humble. ARIES ALL DAY
Thank you so much for stating this. I get so tired of ppl trying to revoke your black card because of a hairstyle preference. You can't even use a brush anymore without ppl accusing you of not loving yourself 😒
I used to get compliments on my relaxed hair but I feel I get even more in my natural hair. My hair is lucky enough to be dense, coarse, and versatile so 🤷🏾♀️ that's why I stayed natural. Relaxers did feel easier though lol but that mightve just been going to the hairdresser every month.
I've had a relaxer for 38 years. I've never processed my hair myself, I don't blow dry it and I get regular trims. I've never had any problems
thats what i hear when u get it profesionally its better
@@JezellTAmos IF the 'professionall' understands the science of hair. Some will mess you up! (it easy to get a license).

I am natural but I honestly think when I was relaxed my hair grew better. In any case your videos are always satisfying to watch. Also, thank you for being a teacher on the TH-cam school of nonexistence. I have learned how to trim my own hair and what techniques to use to limit breakage as well as products to use for my 4c hair. You and your staff/sisters/salon/brand are truly a gift to all of us.
I AGREE....❤❤❤❤
All of your client are always “life ready” after their appointment 😂 I love it so much.
13:46 it’s actually really sad that we as black women used to be taught that the hair that grew out of our heads naturally was “bad” hair. i’m sure there are STILL people who believe/are taught that they have “bad” hair and that’s ridiculous :(
Right 😔💔
My dad always says the hair on your head is "good hair" -- his hairline started receding when he was 19.
Who said it was bad?? It’s just harder to manage and maintain certain styles or looks when natural...natural hair can also cause breakage or hair loss from tangles and knots natural or relaxed can be both be beautiful and healthy..stop judging people for their decision
Thank You!!! @Sparkle1212
@@Sparkle-ey7iw i’ve literally heard people say “bad hair” when people reference 4b/4c hair all the time. and this is coming from someone with very loose hair. if you try to act like some people dont reference hair as “good” and “bad” hair then you live under a rock.
My mom relaxed my hair at a young age because it was difficult for her to manage it. My last relaxer was in 2013, and I'm never going back to relaxers. I love the versatility of my hair. Every wash, i don't usually know what I'll do until I'm doing it
And because I love natural long hair
Gemini here! Also, I just discovered you and I LOOOOVE the work you do! I'm a licensed hairstylist, but about a year ago unfollowed all the hairstylists I used to watch, and over the last several months have lost my passion for hair due to anxiety and noise sensitivity. Your videos are giving me my first hair feels in months. Thank you ❤️
Congratulations 🎉 love
I never comment but had to because I am so mad at my mom for relaxing my hair. I am Puerto Rican and Black American. I had beautiful thick curly hair. My mother being fully boricua didn't know how to handle my hair so she relaxed it when I was 9 years old. Now as a mom with a daughter and two sons. I have learned how to treat my kids hair especially my daughter. Thank you for teaching me how to keep my daughter's natural hair thriving. I feel like I finally know what I am doing. Seeing the constant growth in her hair is everything for me. I wish I had a chance to get my curls back. Stay safe and healthy.God Bless
I got relaxers from 10-13 against my will, despite the very first relaxer breaking off my hair (which I was blamed for, but I wasn't doing my own hair at 10). Currently at 23 I am happily natural--tired arms and all.
Also, ♊️ gang
Same. I had no choice either and my hair broke off.
@@blueismylove3128 I hope that your hair has recovered or is in recovery 💜
@@tamurmur Thankfully now it has. It's been so long since it happened so it's obviously not as long as it was before but it's getting there and I'm not upset about it anymore. It's was butt length, now it's only bra strap length. Thank you
Same here except I was younger
To your client: thank you for your service. I been relaxed for a min, I ain't going back. I was in the military too and relaxed hair was easier for me to maintain.
I know right, I got my last one in 2018...natural now. I love the natural alot of work but my hair is the healthiest it has been in years, pinning up the hair like we have to causes so much tension especially on the edges.

Watching you work is so relaxing and anti stressing. Your level of knowledge and professionalism is
outstanding.
I'd been natural for about nine years or so when I started on my hair journey. And it just stagnated. I did it all from finger detangling to porosity tests and staying away from heat and the laundry list of thing that I 'should' have done was quite extensive. But my hair just remained at the same length and was still quite difficult to manage. And that's putting it mildly. So last year I decided it would either be a big chop and short hair for the rest of my life or a relaxer. I figured I was already planning on chopping it off anyway so if the relaxer results were not what I wanted I'd still cut it off. But my hair just came into its own. It suddenly became easier to manage. My wash days were super easy and short and it just started retaining length and felt and looked amazing. Granted I didn't get it bone straight but rather loosened my curl pattern which is naturally super tight. But that small change made a world of difference. I won't say its for everyone. I've seen and heard enough relaxer horror stories to know that to be true. And there is a massive movement out there hell bent on shaming individuals who decide to relax their hair deciding that they aren't doing it for the right reasons etc causing a lot of people who find it next to impossible to manage their natural hair continue in their difficult hair journeys unassisted. But I'm glad I got my relaxer. As she said, do you. A relaxer is what I needed to restore faith in my hair and keep me on my hair journey. So don't be afraid to do what works for you and your circumstances. Only you know how heavy the crown that sits on your head is.
Absolutely! Well said!
Thank you for your story. It is also mine. 10 years and only lenght stagnation, extreme fairy knots, thin strands, breakage;I Am still Natural but wear weaves close to my own texture, but Yes, this is my hair and a relaxer seems to help. Who knew.
I haven't had a relaxer in over a year. I miss it 😭😭!!! The natural phase is quite intimidating to me. I've been getting my hair braided, when I take them out, I have no clue what to do with my hair 🥴.
Twist outs and braid outs are very good at merging different textures
Can you texturize safely if you color your natural hair? I only rinse but I’m scared it will break my hair?
I had a hard time transitioning. I used a flat iron to keep my hair straight. I went to get it done professionally, and that person burned my hair. I was forced to big chop, then I wished I had done that in the first place. It was easier to manage just my natural hair and it grew so much that 1st year. Definitely, do a deep conditioner with every wash if you don't big chop
I so feel your pain.
@@ramecequinn9163 Say it again!!! My hair was almost waist length but it was mostly perm. Hair day was hell because of all the detangling before, during, after. I did the big chop on January 1st this year and every time I do my hair I say "why I didn't do this sooner." My hair no longer tangles up, I just undo these twist, wash and twist back up. I love it. I feel FREE!
You are so good at what you do and I love seeing how happy your clients are after their service!
I just love your calming voice and the gentleness of how you handle the hair so caring the way you take your time doing hair!!
I love how much of a perfectionist you are, taking your time to get every strand and tending each curl. LOVE IT!!
🥰🥰
Honestly I feel my hair thrived with a relaxer but my scalp didn't. I stayed having the worst dandruff. Since being natural my hair has had setbacks but it is healthy now. But my scalp has stayed clean and healthy.
They probably used the wrong relaxed and didn't base your scalp. I only found this out by going natural and learning to do my own hair. I used to go to salons that never based my scalp and overprocessed my hair. smh.
I just want to say May God blesses you. Your talent comes from God. The way you bring smiles to people is amazing. The world is grateful for people like you. Whenever I want to relax I just watch your videos. Is so good to hear your voice fulll of the love of God for each client. The best part at the end every body look amazing. My best wishes.
I love your positivity, and honesty in your examples, relatabilty and compassion. Plus humor where appropriate. Thank you 😍❤
The best adviser on hair ever!
She really is!
My mom put a relaxer in my hair when I was a little girl, but I transitioned to natural last year. I'm completely natural now and I'm embracing it. I'm learning my hair all over again. I love what you said about how people should agree to disagree because we all have different opinions and beliefs when it comes to hair or anything. Btw I'm reppin' for the Aries Nation! ♈🙌🏾
I can't tell you how much I love watchinh your videos. Awesome!! This young lady has so much bounce and life to her hair. It's a joy to watch! And thank her for her service to her country
Your videos are satisfying and makes me relax whenever I'm stressed, anxious or bored. I find them very interesting, I have learned a lot about curly and coily hair even though I don't have that type of hair myself. You seem very caring with your clients I would love to have you as my hair stylist, keep up the hard work queen 👑
From my perspective: Relaxers are for making curly hair straight and Perms are for making straight hair curly. But since Perm is short for Permanent, there really needs to be a different name for the staight to curl change, since both things are altering the natural state of the hair in a permanent (until it grows out) way.
Facts
I get relaxers every 3 months strictly for easier maintenance. I smooth the relaxer but take it off right after as I'm not into bone straight hair. People look at my hair and think it's natural ( which is fine). Then they laugh telling me I didn't do the "perm" right. People do what's best for THEM and THEIR hair.
Exactly!!
Exactly, I've stretched a relaxer 6 full months before....it was HARD but still lmao yeah, the box relaxers say every so many weeks and no....I time my need for a relaxer by my new growth and when it hurts to comb it lmao whoever told women to relax their hair every other month should be in jail 😒🤣 thats WAY TOO OFTEN and I'm not a hairstylist and I know that....simply from experience
Also I feel like if it's the hair that you grew yourself? It's natural lol relaxer, or otherwise if it's YOUR HAIR it qualifies as natural
That's why I texturize my hair. Don't like relaxers, they're too harsh on my sensitive scalp. People always think too it's my natural hair....not the same as natural but easier to manage.

Thank you for starting this channel I've been watching you for years and you have help me learn to love my 4c hair .I personally like to wear my hair straight but I feel like my hair looks way healthier and prettier with a silk press than a relaxer, but baybae the struggle was real with a silk press. This channel helped me to correctly and safely do my own silk press , taught me how to maintain it longer , gave treatment recommendation and some protective style options during breaks. Your the G.O.A.T thank you .
This was a very enlightening tutorial. I think that you did her hair much justice. I look forward to watching more.
I've been Natura 7 years now. Yes, it can be very challenging (especially while transitioning before the big chop) finding products that work for your hair, detangling, wash day, etc. But how can you beat sweating with freedom, embracing the rain on your fro, rocking a hairstyle using only water, conditioner, and gel, and last but not least HEALTHY HAIR👏🏾 I've mastered my hair to the point I only use a comb to create parts. It has become very convenient. I only straightened it to get a good trim (twice a year) if I want it straightened longer or color I buy weave. With relaxer, you have to CONSISTENTLY combat the chemicals in order to have healthy thriving hair. I'll NEVER go back to the creamy crack🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm just too lazy to be doing a relaxer...... The hardest thing to deal with I think it when the new growth comes in and now you got to deal with two different textures.....I'm not about that life or being tied to a salon. Plus I like swimming.
I got my first relaxer at 17, my mom never allowed us to put chemicals in our hair so I waited until I went off to college lol, yup I snuck and got a relaxer too! Then I had my last relaxer when I was 22 and big chopped 10/10/10. My hair was so short and thin when I relaxed it, it never grew past my collarbone, I finally got it to tailbone length when I went back to natural. I could never go back to the creamy crack. Just like you said, I love the versatility of my natural 4C hair. My hair is my crown ❤️ I get a silk press every 6 months when I get it cut.
@Smiya Coron Thanks love 💕
I had the complete opposite experience, I got my first relaxer at 7 years old and my hair has always been halfway down my back, now I must add, my relaxers have always been professionally done, I stopped relaxing my hair when I was about 21ish, my hair broke off so bad when my I was natural, I'm so tender headed, natural hair for me was so painful, I will never go natural again, I think it's beautiful, but never again will put myself through the unnecessary pain
Your hands are blessed. I love how you care for hair and teach us techniques to help our hair look its best.
I really love watching you work even your commentary is smooth and laid back. You take the time to help us understand the why of it all and I am grateful.
I stopped using perms in the mid 1990
I'm an August Virgo, the month really does make a difference.
🦋
I love watching your videos! Even if I'm a SE Asian with straight 2A hair and I'll probably never use any of the tips you give here, it's still so fascinating and satisfying to watch you transform these women's hairs.
I used to get relaxers and I tried to go natural but it made my hair worse being natural. It took me THIS YEAR at the age of 20 to finally be able to do my hair because I found out I have scalp eczema and the relaxers helped get rid of it. But I went to a less harsh treatment, a texturizer and my hair is really growing and I'm actually able to do it without momma's help 😂😭
I'm happy for you
What kind of texturizer are you using?What brand I mean.
Have you tried adding real authentic tea tree oil to your shampoo and scalp moisturizer? I told my mom to do that and her scalp psoriasis cleared right up. But it has to be pure tea tree, the expensive kind, not the $1.99 beauty supply store one
@@alundyification botanicals! it's amazing in my opinion
@@Denise_Cocoa ive tried tea tree oil, believe it or not, it didn't do anything but make it worse. i thought maybe it was something i did wrong, then i tried a face mask with tea tree oil in it and i broke out, red, itchy, weeping breakouts. turns out im allergic or it just makes my eczema flare worse, same with shea butter!
I love your videos! You’re honest and you actually care about your clients hair. It’s so hard to find that... so hard.
Oh you did such a beautiful job on her hair! And she definitely loved it because she was smiling and looking beautiful!
I'm getting my hair relaxed next month just because I don't know what styles to do and how to maintain my natural hair long term 🙈.. I'm glad for the change tho
How do you feel about silk presses? I've been natural since 2001 and that's how I wear my hair. It may not be "best practice", but to minimize heat, I only get it done (washed with silk press) once every 6 weeks. I tried the real natural methods for 2 years (i.e. twist outs, wash and goes, etc.) and they reeked havoc on my hair! Everybody's hair responds differently to different methods. God bless you on your decision!
@@DrSiglo silk presses work wonders on my thick, kinky hair. I feel guilty at times for the heat DJ then I do crochet braids😚
Good luck.😬. I’m not even being funny.
@@DrSiglo I'm a "straight natural", I wash and straighten every 4 weeks and my hair has grown so much and is so much easier to manage than doing braid outs and wash and gos.
@@nickydaley345 Yes, much more manageable, low maintenance, and less tangles! My hair gets tangled quite easily and I think that's why the traditional natural styles didn't work for me.
I understand why she did it and I don't blame her.
@Anna I ain't clickin that
So true, it's hard being natural. I snuck off and got me a relaxer after a year 🤣🤣🤣 personally, so much easier to maintain.
@@r.r911 Yes it is. So much easier and personally my hair grew so much longer when my hair was relaxed. I’m getting a perm in September
i wish I could get a relaxer tbh. My hair is rly thick and gets tangled easily but i got a relaxer once and my hair started falling out 😀👍🏽
@@muncherclay8760 you're lucky! My mom has almost always been permed and she has no idea how to take care of it in any form. It breaks off so bad. I have natural hair and it's honestly not that healthy, the only reason I have length is because mini twists and 2.5 years of dreadlocks. Whatever works!
It’s so satisfying watching you trim her ends. Her hair looks beautiful and healthy 😍😍
Look at Ang....Looking all good and hair is healthy and bouncy. Deeper Than Hair, you've done it again. You constantly leave us feeling good about us, relaxer or natural, you teach us to be our healthiest. We Thank You! I so wish you could get your hands on my hair. I need your help, but I follow your instructions and do my best to keep my natural hair it's best at home!
I’ve had my hair relaxed for over 10 years now, I’ve done all types of stuff to my hair while relaxed including permanent color. I have tried transitioning back to natural a couple of times but I don’t know how to do my natural hair and when I was natural I’d get it braided and it would be way too tight and i got tired of that. Maybe one day I may go natural but I like the ease of relaxed hair. My wash days are quick and easy. My hair grows just the same with a relaxer so I’m sticking with it !
Went natural in December 2017 and I'm not looking back. The chemical burns and breakage I got were the worst. Love your channel, bless up, Gemini as well😘😘😁😘😘
I got burns all the time until I started using sensitive scalp grease before I relaxed! It's orange and is a barrier to the relaxer's burning chemicals! I also used to put an oil on my scalp before the sensitive scalp grease and it only burned a little at 17 minutes which was when I started rinsing it out! I would also add argan oil to the relaxer itself after it was mixed! After I shampooed with the neutralizing shampoo three times I used my own conditioning shampoo twice then I used the deep conditioner as instructed and I never skipped a step! Roxanna Rene, a youtuber, has long relaxed hair that she's maintained for years!! PS. She is now natural but her old tips and advice are still good! I didn't do a touch up until 10-12 weeks and this was called relaxer stretching and it also was good growth method!
I'm also a gemini
LOL thank you. Growing up I had such a bad experience with relaxers hair breakage and all. I went natural and my hair is the longest and healthiest it's ever been in my entire life.
Jordan Davis 19 Well got And
I’m a Scorpio! 😌✌🏾
I always love watching these black hair videos- it inspires me to try to do better with my own hair..I’ve had dreads for almost my entire life (17 yrs) and now I’m 18 and had them cut, and it’s a whole new world for me 😅 I don’t even know how to figure out what my hair type is man
Her hair looks beautiful. She went to the right place. I need someone in FL like you. Many blessings.
I had a relaxer from age 6 - 25 . Although my natural hair takes a lot of work & I still don’t get it. I STILL put it in a ponytail which looks cute but doesn’t make me feel good that I’m 32 walkin round with a top knot. I’m grateful I have a head full of thick hair, but it’s not the easiest. But tbh, I don’t think a relaxer would be any “easier”
@Noor Hussain Thank You 🥰😊 & you’re right!
You’ve got the face for top knots girl! I bet you look beautiful. Rock it
I’m glad you are grateful because I wish and dream of my head full of hair returning to me. Seriously, I have dreams😔.
@@SwtLvlyLucy169 thank you ! My top knots are cute but I worry about my edges.
@@indiawilliams879 I understand, my Mother suffers from alopecia and she will sometimes make comments about missing her hair. For me to be ungrateful, would be disrespectful to my beautiful Mom who is absolutely gorgeous with or without hair as I’m sure you are as well ❤️
Lol. She was hilarious at the end. Thank you for your services Miss!
Thank you!!!
You are just absolutely fantastic . I love the commentary as well. You have such a sweet and kind voice. 💕Knowledge is Power!!
I love watching you trim hair, and bringing it back to life. Yes man amazing job.
just when i was searching for something to watch!!
side note: the title of this video had me cracking up for some reason😭 it’s probably because i imagined one of my friends saying it and she’s funny af lol
I remember that conversation many moons ago about relaxers and perms (ammonium thioglycolate). Still some folks call them 'perms.' I also remember my teacher at Wilfred Academy (Philly) corrected our lingo about color. She said, "you dye towels; you color hair." Those are just lil' tidbits that stuck with me through the years. ✂✂✂ Gemini ♊
Your voice is so calming and I really appreciate your reminders to us to stop judging. Lord knows I need them! Thanks for posting x
You’re an amazing beautician! You always do a wonderful job on your clients hair. My zodiac sign is Pisces ♓️
I am mixed race from Africa and I relax my hair. When it wasn't relaxed it was dry and really difficult to style and so I just kept it tied up and it broke into different lengths. Now relaxed, as long as I keep it hydrated, my hair is tops! One thing that does damage my hair is dyeing it. I have light ash brown hair so a lot of sun has an effect on it. But also your age has a lot to with it. I didn't have my mum to teach me what to do with our kind of hair so my twenties were a breakage disaster. 30s, it's doing better :) Love your channel!
Idk how people dye their hair...my hair wouldn’t survive lol.
I died my hair when it was relaxed once, the getting to be blonde, but turning ginger thing cos one doesn't know about toners....
Let's just say I didn't need to get trims, the hair just broke off over the months as my natural hair grew
@@daisiesandpandas1218 Yeah it's quite a thing 😅 Hope your hair is ok now.
Relaxer has nothing to do with you not moisturizing your hair. I’m sure if you moisturized your hair while it was natural, it wouldn’t have been dry…
i did the big chop at the beginning of the pandemic and I’m experience the dryness and breaking at different lengths with my natural hair. Most of my hair is easy to keep moisturized but there is this one patch that is so hard to I keep moisturized. it dries out and is so brittle and breaks. I’m done. I appreciate how much length I’ve grown during this period of being natural but I can really do anything with this lopsided ‘fro. I’m going back to relaxing my hair.
Been on quite the hair journey this year, found out I’m a wavey (2a,2b) started following the curly girl method and it’s been amazing, didn’t realize how dry my hair actually was lol now I can wear my waves and can sneeze and not have to detangle ha ha . Love watching you trim those dead ends off
As always, you really bring your clients hair back to life, beautiful job always.. you could really teach a class on being considerate of your client, which some stylist aren't. Be forever blessed, and have a great summer.
I’m natural now. But as soon as my color grows out, I’m getting a relaxer. My hair was so much healthier. I kept it in a bob. I loved it.
I had a relaxer but my hair is so thin, I prefer to be natural since it looks fuller and I can pick out a curly fro.
With a relaxer I rarely ever had split ends my hair just grows crazy uneven and I could never get past shoulder length. I’ve been natural since I’ll say 2012 and fairy knots and split ends eat up all my length . I’ve tried wash and goes (in the summer months)and protective styling for months at a time but these ends and knots won’t let me be great! My hair was healthiest with a jerry curl 😂
Stretching hair helps to reduce fairy knots. Also washing hair in braids or twist. I do a low heat blow dry stretched out hair. Always have scissors/shears ready for fairy knots and split ends. Regular trims every 3 to 6 months also helps with fairy knots. As well as use ingredients with a slip. As hair as splits ends. Moisturize and hydrate hair. Because the ends of our hair is the oldest, it's need the most care and gentle touch. Stay away from high heat for a while. The tighter the coil, the more prone to fairy knots. Hope that helps.
Thanks Ana. Thank you. I only blow dry when i trim or get a trim. otherwise no heat. 2020 i kept my hair stretched with the rubber band method using hair ties and wore a headwrap- my ends still stayed damaged. This year I am working on hydrating more and seeing if that will help.
@@BeComingNyrell Look up plant humectants. Find one that's right for you. That should help to retain moisture and reduce split ends.
I have horrible fairy knots but I feel like my life changed after I bought a detangler brush. Don't know if you've tried it, its definitely worth a try
@@yesitsthattime Which one do you have? I just purchased the felicia leatherwood i think its called and did a trim Sunday so im not sure of a difference just yet
I was there for Angie, feeling herself. That was gorgeous work!!!
Love it! Thank you Ang for your service!
I used to relax my hair and we called it relaxer but we also called it "perm" because "perm" is short for "permanent". At the salon that I went to, the stylists specialized in a range of different textures (and therefore the clients were a variety of different races) and all stylists at the salon seemed to agree that a "perm" is just any permanent texture changing chemical. White clients tended to reference permanent curl added, black clients tended to reference permanent curl pattern removed.
So glad the Air Force and Army just stopped forcing women to wear tight buns everyday. Traction alopecia is rampant in military women with long hair.
It still has to be in a ponytail and be neat which is still going to cause a lot on tension. While I appreciate it because it helps with the ends of your hair, your hair is still being pulled 24/7
See That would get me kicked out cause I rarely put my hair back.
Yeahhhh… I can’t be fighting for my country and my edges at the same time…they need to change that all the way up.

I really love this hairdresser .. non judgemental and so kind … and very skilful xx
I love how full her hair is. Her curls are juiccyyyyy 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My hair flourishes in it's natural state, but I took very good care of it when I had relaxers. As hesitant as I was to go natural, I don't regret going natural! Last relaxer was August 2013!
