That's good!!! Sis I have been perming 3x a year for 36 yrs since I was 14yo! It works for me. Glad you know that works 2x a year works for you😌. And my texture changed tremendously after I stopped eating meat 6yrs ago. Way less course still thick,frizzy but an 8 from a 12 in thickness
I’m thinking really hard on relaxing, I’m tired of the frizzy roots after working out. Keratin treatment ain’t cutting it even though it makes my hair feel strong.
8 weeks is 2 months but yes over processing is a no no. Know your hair type and pay attention to your new growth and texture. I generally get a touch up every season but sometimes I'll plan it around the summertime because with heat and sweating, they sometimes don't last for me. Everybody's different so know your hair and what you can tolerate but please don't over process it. Be well loves 🧡
An hour is crazy. Ten minutes and my virgin hair was over processed. EyE used the regular. Was looking like a greasy duck. Made my own concoction and did a protein treatment. ThAnkhs to God it’s finally feeling as if EyE have some hair on my head.
I only do a touch up 3 times a year. And dont do box braids ...only weave or crochet braids. To keep my fullness and bounce to my hair. Do the textlax method. Either night before or couple hours before putting the relaxer.. I slather my hair with design essential vitamin restore treatment, L'oreal ever pure bond and Etae conditoner (hydrolyzed wheat protien and silk protein) i seal it with organic sun flower oil With my scalp i used blue magic shea. I found it help keep the hair soft and not over processing the hair. Your goal is not creat supper straight. Cause when the new growth comes in thats how u can have breakage when trying to go long periods with out a touch up. You want it to look like a permitted blow out or stretch hair. Almost like braiding hair u use for box braids.
This is good info. Please don’t try to achieve European straight hair with chemicals. I’ve heard that it’s a spiritual connection the way our hair spirals. We are connected directly to the cosmos with our natural curl/spiral
Good content. Im stretching for 9 month BUT 😊 im wearing protective styles like large box braids AND i mosturize while in protective styles. Im ok with that.
I used a kids relaxer for the first and it over processed, so I plan to only do this every four months. This was such a cool and helpful video, thank you.
Update, my lastest relaxer I stretched to 18 weeks, paid attention to my new growth how it was feeling and length of time it took to detangle, plus I was getting headaches from putting them in buns because the weather is too hot to wear out. Opted not to use braids and I notice my hair was alot less dry and I had alot less breakage. I washed and deep conditioned my hair about 3 times a month. This time my hair was in alot better condition as a result. Will try for 20 weeks next but if at 18 weeks it feels that stretching longer may cause breakage I will relax at 18 weeks again. Thanks for the great tips
Thank u so much fr sharing...very on point...very informative...very much needed...and the part about protecting frm the sun, GENIUS...Thank u dear...kp them coming...
My hair confuses me. I’ve relaxed most of my life and I’ve had times where it’s been healthy and times where it’s been very damaged. During the pandemic, I was severely depressed. I barely ate. I barely slept. I rarely showered, much less washed or combed my hair, but I would relax it about every three months, most of the time I just had it pulled back in a ponytail. The first year of normal socializing, it stayed long, thick, and healthy, even though I had started combing and wearing it my normal way a few times a week. Then it got relaxed several times with relaxer that was too weak for my hair and it broke off now that I’m trying to take care of it. It’s very unhappy. Not sure why anytime I pay more attention to my hair, it does worse. When I’m too busy or too depressed to I care about it, my hair seems to do better. I’m very much a rock n’ roll woman and it has always surprised me how big of an issue that is with black hairdressers… enough that they try to “blacken” me via my hair.
I got a relaxer in June and now it’s January and was the first time I ever had a relaxer I was natural my whole life and it’s been 8months since I’ve had it relaxed and wanna do it again but I’m scared i mught have a stain breakage what should I do
If you’ve been wearing you hair out this entire time I think it’s time to relax again if you have significant new growth or go back natural. Your hair could start to break off because of the two textures. 6 months is more than enough time for a touch up
Mines is under the bra strap, more like mid back. It's very thick. It definitely is, just take patience and listening to your hair. I relax my hair either 6 - 8 weeks, plus I split it into two separate sections, as my hair is thick but the strands is fine. I can't relax my hair all in one, as I can't get a proper relax with the volume. I am in the Caribbean, but my hair just doesn't hold moisture, so I practice the LOC method every two days. Also, I have a schedule for deep steaming ( moisture and protein). Hope this helps, keep the faith. It took me 3-4 years with frequent trims.
You are absolutely amazing!! Love how you speak truth with a bit of sass lol😂 you’re on your way to being 100,000 TH-camr😃❤️ Continued success and God bless you🙏🏾😇❤️ Chrissy🥰❤️❤️
Rollersets, deep conditioner, wrap hair with silk scarf and satin pillowcase..
I love your personality, you’re so funny!
Thinking about relaxing my hair after 8 years of being natural. I’m tired of wigs and braids.
Do whatever works for you!
I just relaxed mine 😑
@@kimrumph1547 after 8 years I did it and dont regret it 😭❤️
Me too!
I have officially reached this point
I'm so happy to know that. I'm not the only one who normally relaxes their hair twice a year. And I only use just for me relaxers

Love your content! I relax my hair once a year because of my career it’s always in twist and braids and I trim in between styles .

I’ve been relaxing every 3 months. But I’m streching it to 4 months starting now. My goal is twice a year. I’m sure I can do it👍🏾
Yes! I usually do every 3-4 months too when I’m wearing my hair out
Same here
You can do it, girl 🏆💓
@@AimForSuccess.S Thank you🙏🏾 Happy New Year🎊

Good points.where were you when i was relaxed ? Stylist would leave the chemical on ,forever.

You are so interesting and funny at the same time.
It all depends on the way the hair it been released.
I only do a touch up 3 times a year. And dont do box braids ...only weave or crochet braids.

You’re welcome
The only difference between regular relaxer and kiddie perm is the child on the box. That's what Linwood said.
Girl! This video gave me life😂
Yep im in the 6 month stretch domain but with braids, which i will be discontinuing
Same 6 month stretch

Yea every month is a no no, great sharing sweetheart 😊
I love in the Mojave Desert. It gets up to 120 degrees in the summer. What can I put on my hair when I'm not wearing a hat or scarf?
Unfortunately I think for temps that high it needs to be covered with either to be protected. Sorry I wasn’t more help!
do you just use a reg. leave in for 'sun protection'?
No I put my hair away in protective styles. Nothing will protect your hair from sun damage other than covering it
What's your hair type?
Not sure!
Thankyou! New subbie ready for alllll the tips!
Welcome!!
Fried to the side😂
I got a relaxer in June and now it’s January and was the first time I ever had a relaxer I was natural my whole life and it’s been 8months since I’ve had it relaxed and wanna do it again but I’m scared i mught have a stain breakage what should I do

Great information! Have you ever co-washed? TFS❤
Yes but not in a long time. I need to donut again soon
Is it possible for hair to grow long while still relaxing hair? Your hair looks great, but does it ever grow way past your shoulders.
Yes, absolutely
Mines is under the bra strap, more like mid back.
It's very thick. It definitely is, just take patience and listening to your hair.
I relax my hair either 6 - 8 weeks, plus I split it into two separate sections, as my hair is thick but the strands is fine. I can't relax my hair all in one, as I can't get a proper relax with the volume.
I am in the Caribbean, but my hair just doesn't hold moisture, so I practice the LOC method every two days. Also, I have a schedule for deep steaming ( moisture and protein).
Hope this helps, keep the faith. It took me 3-4 years with frequent trims.
Oh, I also never go to bed without a bunnett. That's the secret 😂
My hair grows better with relaxer, less tangling , don’t have patience my hair is too thick for that. And yes pass shoulders and growing great
I just went back to relaxers after 10 years. My natural hair never went past my braids strap. My relaxed hair was always mid back length.
you’re so funny 🤣 this was a good video I watched the whole thing
10 weeks for me..
😂😂😂😂😅you funny. “It should be burning you got sores hahahahahahaha
😂
PERIOD lol and its the truth and drink water....
lmaooo Michael Jackson in The Wiz 🤣🤣
😩😂😂
I love you😂😂😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️
So you relax all your new growth in 10 mins ? Sry but i cant believe you that one sis…
Also the Part Where you finished will be not relaxed as well let me tell you that!
Yes I apply in about 10 minutes and let it sit for 10. I’ve been doing my own relaxer for some years now so I can get it on pretty quickly
You are absolutely amazing!! Love how you speak truth with a bit of sass lol😂 you’re on your way to being 100,000 TH-camr😃❤️ Continued success and God bless you🙏🏾😇❤️ Chrissy🥰❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
